27 Best Vegan Restaurants in Birmingham

“The food is awesome! Everything I tried was good: the tacos, sushi, hand roll, smoothie, brownie. Mike was very nice and polite and greeted us. I was visiting from out of town and I’m going to miss this place. Definitely coming back when I’m in town. 10/10 ⭐️“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Came here for a date night and it worked perfectly. The room has a warm glow and the cocktails were well crafted. The Bronzino was delicate and flaky. If I had to nitpick, the wings could have used a bit more heat, but the flavor was still great.“

“Food is beyond amazing. Those Chefs there really know their stuff. Plus, they are friendly enough to chat with about the menu when they have time. We had the most enjoyable evening, the atmosphere was a different level of upscale dining. I must also mention the drinks are out this world. The service staff and bartender were so accommodating and friendly. Best girls nite out in a long time.“

“Some middle aged man pushed me into a TV there. very great service.. the man was rather hot.“

“Hazels has a wonderful quarterly rotating menu, and the fresh options are off the charts. Worth the drive to Birmingham for this one. The quality is very good and they take a lot of care in their service and space. Highly recommend- there’s something for everyone!“

“Great!!! Very nice place!“

“Nice dining place. Great food and atmosphere.“

“Excellent meal from start to finish. We celebrated our anniversary here and it was among the best service we have received at any restaurant.

The meal started with a nice note waiting at our table and a couple of glasses of champagne, bread service was provided - very good focaccia style with high quality side of olive oil.

We ordered two apps , the black rice arancini with crab and the yellowfin crudo. Both were outstanding and I was surprised when the arancini was served made from the black rice which is a staple on their menu. I may not have read the menu right but wasn’t expecting that. Very unique texture and great flavors for an arancini which we like to order at many different restaurants.

The crudo was extremely fresh and very light with complex flavors and not overly acidic. The fish shined thru. Next we split the pink Caesar which was a unique take on a Caesar that I believe had walnuts in lieu of traditional croutons and once again very fresh and delicious flavor for a salad. The dressing was lighter and less salty than many Caesar dressings but you could still taste some anchovy.

At this point the meal was going great and our server and the kitchen continued to time it perfectly. Our server also provided knowledgeable recommendations and reserved the last fish special for us which he had asked us when we began ordering - a touch that I appreciated as this turned out to be the highlight of the meal before dessert.

The entree was a grilled turbot - not a fish I am familiar with and our server explained it is similar to a Dover sole. Spot on. Grilled perfectly with a texture less flaky than typical sole and reminding me a bit more of a swordfish. One of the best pieces of fish I’ve had dining out.

We finished the meal by ordering the baked Alaska which was great and not a dessert I personally had eaten before. Quite the presentation. That said our server also added us a comped piece of the chocolate cake which I believe is flourless and my wife and I were both surprised to find that we enjoyed it even more than the baked Alaska as it wasn’t on our radar to order.

Samy and Matt have quite a team going at forest and the kitchen is on point. Multiple check ins from management and our server while also allowing us plenty of time to celebrate our night together. We’ve been fans of Phoenicia and Layla for many years but I would honestly say that this meal at Forest elevated it to their top restaurant in my mind. This is the level of service that you look for when celebrating but you could tell that the restaurant is consistently very busy as even every seat at the bar was full during our meal.

Last addition is that the updated interior was very nice and the vibe of the restaurant was intimate and easy to have a good conversation. Also had friendly patrons we chatted with sitting next to us.

4th or 5th time I’ve eaten there and never been disappointed but this meal was above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. Thanks“

“Always consistently good beer, food, and service. We stop in whenever we're in town.“

“Extremely tasty and diverse menu.“

“Amazing food!! Great atmosphere!“

“HAIR EVERYWHERE
Came in 3/6/26 about 3:20pm. There was a blonde hair lady working the front register and getting pizza orders/drinks ready for customers. She had TONS OF HAIR ALL OVER HER BLACK JETS SHIRT. It was literally disgusting.

It was so bad I wanted to take a picture of her and post it here. It looked like she just finished playing with a dog or rolling around on someones carpet and came into work.

No one thought to ask her why does her Jets black shirt look so filthy. She needs a hair net on ASAP!

It didnt (seem) as though she was the cook so I said nothing about it.

But she's grabbing pizza boxes out of the heat lamp oven box and opening box lids to see if the order is correct upon pickup.

Food is always on point here hence the 4 rating but that lady shirt hasn't been washed in weeks. No way that much hair got there in one shift. Shoulder, Chest, just hair!“

“Everything is freashly made on the daily! Delicious, wide menu verity!!“

“Update: lunchtime on Saturday. The Team was extremely busy. Online orders and walk ins. All three of them working quickly and efficiently. They kept order and ensured orders and customers were taking care of accurately. Great job team. Thanks for the food.“

“Love this place been coming here for years“

“The steak and eggs and the pear, goat cheese toast is perfection! Great atmosphere.“

“Amazing food and experience. Highly recommend !“

“This has become one of my favorite cupcake stops! Love the different options they have every month, but also that they keep the same flavors all year round. They give you the option between full cupcakes and minis.“

“Great food great atmosphere .... perfect place for a girls night out🥰“

“Townhouse is the place to go for a great personable and easy going experience. They pride themselves in a true guest experience that feels cozy and welcoming. A real neighborhood bar with elevated comfort food. No bells and whistles, not over the top when you just want to sit back and enjoy the moment.“

“The atmosphere is amazing; your eyes will wander around to try to see everything. The food was delicious; we had brunch. The service was poor; it took over 15 minutes for someone to bring us water and take our drink order. Our server was very slow (not the same person who took our drink order); we had to ask another server to get her for us so we could ask questions about our bill.“

“We absolutely loved the Rugby Grill. It is literally our new favorite restaurant in Birmingham. Every single part of the experience was perfection. We loved the beautiful atmosphere, awesome service and, most of all, the incredible food! The brussel sprout appetizer, halibut and rare-to-find fresh caught salmon dishes were exceptionally fresh, and prepared with the perfect flavors and temperatures. It’s only a matter of time before more people find out about this Birmingham gem now that it’s reopened. Just the perfect dinner!“

“Brooklyn Pizza far exceeds expectations! From the Owners greeting guests, helping the staff, and just making sure everyone has an overall amazing experience really shows this place is top notch. The pizza was amazing and not to mention the ice cream selection for desert was delicious as well. If you are looking for a night out, or even a pizza to go you definitely have to try it here. Great Atmosphere! @David Portnoy you have no idea what you are missing!!“

“Always spot on!! The house bread and its sauces, amazing!! And had the risotto with shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Prefect!! Server was great. You are on our list♥️“

“I come all the way from Lavonia just to eat here.“

“Always accommodating and terrific for a few people or even when you have a large party or event. I have enjoyed the relationship with management and the staff for several years! It's one of my "go to" places! Thx for a great experience last night on February 25th/2022!“
