50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Grand Rapids

“The best pizza! Detroit Style!“

“Have been twice, about 2 years apart. It really is an experience. Beautiful food and service. On the way home my wife and I decided to make Grove our anniversary tradition. Thank you for the lovely evening.“

“Our favorite restaurant no longer serves Manhattan style clam chowder and we are nothing less than heartbroken. We didn't realize that our favorite thing there wasn't popular enough to retain as a menu item when Leo's changed hands. We can live with the smaller lobster tails, but this is really hard for us to take. Cry.“

“Private event. The food was excellent. Large portions and the wait staff was outstanding.“

“Delicious foods, treats, healthy juices etc. They also have an adorable aesthetic! Happy to have them in our neighborhood. Great addition to Wealthy St ❤️“

“kinda of late for sharing but I have been searching for a good Mediterranean restaurant, comparable to my favorite place in Dearborn for almost 10 years!!! Fast forward to 3 weeks ago...Sheshco, you exceeded my expectations and are now my favorite Mediterranean restaurant!!! from your AMAZING pita bread...to your garlic sauce, your fatush, hummus, and your schwarma...oh and that rice. I cant wait to come back and try your taboulleh. you are a hidden gem ♥️♥️♥️ the amazing a kind staff was the icing on the cake!!“

“If I were to end up on death row, my last meal would certainly include the burger and salt and vinegar fries from Black Napkin. It is the best burger and fries I've had in my entire life. If I ever have a better one I will return here to update- but Im very positive that is unlikely to happen. Bon appetite y'all. This shit slaps.“

“Good iced Carmel lattes and amazing breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast! love the atmosphere.“

“Amazing food. We popped in arround noon. my party had pancakes, chicken sandwich & shrimp/pork belly fried rice. I wish I didnt live over 2 hours away. We will be back next time we are in GR.“

“This is my favorite restaurant. Delicious and healthy.“

“My nephew and I shared a meal here today and our experiences ranged from very good to off the scale great. We tried a Hot Mess breakfast with eggs, potatoes, chorizo,etc; it was perfectly balanced (neither to spicy or bland), super fresh; loved it. We also got a grilled cheese, with pepper jelly. The bread was the best ever (toasted perfectly) and crunchy, and it wasn't to cheesy (some places put too much cheese which makes it messy) with just enough pepper jelly to create an original experience; and one of my favorite sandwiches of my life. The salad was the low point of the meal as it was merely perfect. We also got a chocolate croissant which was great and a pot de creme which was decadent and..can I say perfect again. This is my new favorite place“

“I had their vegan coconut and dark chocolate in a vegan waffle bowl. The ice cream was so smooth and rich and satisfying. It was delicious! I was excited to be able to have those options! I definitely recommend them to anyone!“

“Delicious Thai foods. Highly recommended if you love authentic Thai foods. We had beef pad kra pao, larb gai, and pad Thai. My kiddo cleaned up the plates. Love this place and will definitely be back again ❤️“

“I bought the cherry blossom drink and it was absolutely delicious. The owner is super friendly and kind. The atmosphere is pleasant and the interior decor is beautiful. I strongly recommend coming here.“

“Absolutely delicious food!“

“Superb! Fantastic lunch at ROAM! Was our fav food spot during our week long visit in Grand Rapids! Selena, our server, was attentive and friendly and the best server we had all week. 👏 Food was delicious-tacos on paratha bread, ensalada de elote Rangoon dip and mango sticky rice all yum! Vibe and decor awesome!“

“This place is amazing!!!!! Great food, Amazing service, Amazing cooks #my dad he owns it!!“

“We loved it. Everything we tried was amazing. The eggs Benedict was on point - the hollandaise was thinner that I'm used to, so I was worried, but it was phenomenal. The sausage scrambler was amazing too. We added a side of their homemade gravy too and it enhanced it. We also tried the whitefish special (not pictured), which is also homemade, and LOVED it! We will def be coming back. The history of the place is cool too.“

“My husband and I went here for a date night. We had tacos and horchata. The service and food were great. We’ll be back!“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“The most amazing brunch I’ve ever had!!! The food was absolutely phenomenal!! Can’t believe it took me this long to go. Our server was super knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations.“

“We just went there for our first time and wow was the food and staff amazing. Def going back.“

“Amazing service! Ian was our bartender and he made sure we had a unique experience by introducing us to Megan, the owner, after said we wanted to try something we had never had before. She proceeded to ask us a series of questions and then proceed to make a pour based on our answers. She did awesome, as we tried two new bourbon we have never had and enjoyed the bourbon as well. This is a must stop if you enjoy sipping bourbon!“

“Stopped by on a Wednesday night for dinner. Ordered the Eastern Sushi and the Philadelphia roll, both were excellent. Fresh, flavorful, and done right. Definitely recommend both.

Service was solid, the atmosphere had a great upscale vibe, and the whole experience felt relaxed and smooth. Total came out to $30.76 before tip, which is more than fair for the quality and experience.

Only thing I’d change is showing up earlier next time to have a seat at the patio.“

“Food was so delicious! We had two different pizzas and two pastas among our table. No complaints anywhere. The house made sausage is to die for. Highly recommend!! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Just had our kids 21st birthday at San Chez and what a great experience! Kudos to our lovely wait staff and a special shout out to Jess who looked after us beautifully and could not have been nicer! She helped us pick an excellent assortment of dishes for our party of 11, the food came out at exactly the right moments, and we all got to try things on the menu that were interesting and delicious. Thanks for a great evening, Jess and San Chez!“

“There is everything to love about this homey, eclectic coffee shop. From the delicious offerings of teas and coffees and even tasty gluten free sweets, there is something for everyone. Also a great place to pick up a gift handmade by a local artisan.“

“Omg!!!!! I searched protein shakes near me, after a workout. My GPS bought me here, all the times I passed here, I didn't know this delicious place was here. Omg I got the blue berry muffin shake it was so natural.... flavorful, it was It was so so so delicious! Perfect. Very very very delicious!!!! If you haven't tried it! You have to come here. I am hooked 😁“

“This place has socialize on the way but if you're having too much fun they'll tell you they have to serve another table amd tneed you to cash out. If you want to have fun and socialize...I Do NOT recommend you go to West Sife Socal because that is not the vibe of this place. More like ANTI social!!! Don't go...parking and socializing is terrible.“

“My family eats here every time we visit downtown. They are kind to our daughter but the atmosphere is also great for a date. I have also dropped in for lunch between work meetings and the service is fast for a tight schedule. The Black Dragon roll is great!“

“Our favorite ice cream in GR!“

“Love everything I've ever purchased here! The butter croissants are the best I've ever had! Buttery, flaky layers and so delicious!“

“Such a wonderful shop ! Amazing people !! Keep up the great work !!“

“good food,good service,nice atmosphere“

“What a fun night! The actors were very enthusiastic and presented great energy to the crowd. Very fun night and delicious food!“

“The beer alone was absolutely fantastic and deserves 5 stats. I'm pretty bummed the food was 45min to 1 hour wait on a Wednesday though, which did not work for me, but I'm happy they are busy and I'm sure it is well deserved. Saving 5 stars for when I can finally try the Birria menu when they aren't slammed. For the record the beer was outstanding and I would come back just for the Elegant Elephant!“

“Ambiente elegante y comida delicioso, recomendado.“

“It had been a while since i've been here. I can say this is some of the best service I've had in the city for a long while. Andrew was our bartender and I want to specifically say what an amazing job he did. Great bartender, good recommendations, and his quality of service would certainly be a reason I'll be back here more often.“

“Love everything I've ever purchased here! The butter croissants are the best I've ever had! Buttery, flaky layers and so delicious!“

“by far the best hummus I've had in a very long time and the falafel is as good as the Mediterranean markets 🤤 i will definitely be back. falafel plate was for sure a win!!“

“Juliya was an amazing server! Wonderful attitude, handled our food allergies with the utmost care, and refilled our drinks before we had time to ask. Thank you so much for the excellent care and service!
(would love to see more gluten-free and dairy-free options on the menu, but we definitely didn't go hungry)“

“Was in tonight for dinner in GR on the front patio with a couple girlfriends and we were approached by a homeless man who tried to grab our bags. I’m reaching out to praise your manager and the rest of the staff for taking our concerns seriously and jumping into action. Top notch team you’ve got there. You were already a go to spot for us, but even moreso now. Thank you for a great spot, delicious menu, and for making your patrons safety a top priority!!“

“Bravo to the staff at Max's in Grand Rapids! We went last night with 6 people, and were celebrating 2 birthdays. I had not done my research and thought we were in for a 'canned' touristy experience. I was very wrong. We were seated very close to our reserved time (highly recommend making a reservation a few days in advance). You cannot be in the bar area if you aren't 21. We were seated on the second floor, and we requested a table set apart due to hearing concerns; the booth was perfect. First, the kitchen staff must be a well-oiled machine, so much food and so unique and delicious! Our waitress Katie was excellent: quick with a smile, accommodating of special requests, seemed unflappable, and did a great job timing how our food came out (we ordered some apps, some entrees, then dessert - all to share around our table). We had alcoholic drinks as well as zero-proof cocktails, all of which were outstanding! So glad we all shared the food, as it amplified the experience by letting us taste so many different dishes. What we ordered: pupu platter and chicken satay. Then spring rolls, crab rangoons. and the ginger salad (large portion - great for family style). From the featured specials, we had the mahi-mahi on couscous with tomatoes and spinach; steak pasta with demi-glace and gorgonzola; mahi-mahi tacos; and a Caribbean jerk handheld wrap. And for dessert, the PB cheesecake and key lime pie, both light and exceptionally made. Everyone in our group raved about the flavors in the food AND how well it was made; each aspect of our experience was exceptional. We averaged about $55 per person due to the alcoholic drinks and 25% tip.“

“Amazing food! Gluten free friendly!! We have been coming here for years- the BEST!“

“We had the best experience here with our staff party. I would 100% recommend them!“

“Frequently meet friends and have some of the best brunch in the city. Always busy but for a reason, and the service and hospitality which are already top notch, do not suffer. An example of this is when they bring you your food they remember who ordered which plate. This is one of those underrated hospitality things they do that other establishments don’t reach. I will always be back :)“

“We are here today for lunch. We are in town for States for Hockey and staying next door. By far the best restaurant experience I have ever had in my life. Fast, very friendly service. We got the salad/pizza bar and my son wanted a specific pizza and the made it right away fresh and hot and came to our table to tell us when it was ready so he could go get some. He’s picky and sometimes hard to please with food and no restaurant has ever been this kind an amazing to him. We have been places that won’t even bring refills in seven time. This restaurant was on top of everything! It was a great experience and we will definitely be back as we frequent Grand Rapids with 3 kids in hockey.“

“A fantastic hidden gem! The atmosphere was unique and authentic, the food was amazing (highly recommend the wings), and the service was top notch. The place is a little hidden but totally worth it - you won't be disappointed.“

“Was looking for something sweet and seen this place on Google maps. The ice cream sandwiches caught my eye. Had to check it. Walked in and was greeted. Checked the menu out and everything sounded good. Was advised that everything was made in house which is awesome. I got the Papa Midnight and my daughter got the coco-nut. Husband got a sorbet pic not shown. Everything was delightful. Must try others another day.“

“Great restaurant. The food was spicy and authentic. What stood out most was the staff. all of the waiters and the host were incredibly kind and accomodating. The chicken tikka was very well made. The lamb dishes were also good, although I expected the meat to be very tender, which it was not“
