50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Grand Rapids

“The best pizza! Detroit Style!“

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

“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.“

“I seek out each city's best burger when I'm on the road, and I can sincerely say after more research than my primary care physician advised...there's no competition even remotely close to Black Napkin's Le College Dropout burger.

The juicy tastiness of the excess smash overhanging the bun alone safely lands it in first place on my list, and that's before even getting to the toppings (trust the chef/creator, don't change anything about this masterpiece).

Don't forget the classic Cola (golden) and rust fries with sundried tomato ranch for dipping (I don't even like sundried tomatoes yet somehow I could eat it with a spoon).

Don't change Black Napkin crew - you are perfect the way you are!“

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

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!!“

“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.“

“Only place in town that has fresh Otoro Tuna. Best of the best! The whole menu is great, ranging from bento boxes, sushi, ramen, and other traditional Asian dishes. Interior design is beautiful too, great place to take someone you want to impress!“

“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 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!“

“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 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.“

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.“

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!“

“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!“

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!“

(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!!“

“Flew in to visit a friend and came to Max’s after my flight on Friday. I was in for a treat! The spicy tuna roll was actually spicy & one of the best I’ve ever had. I also had some delicious and beautiful drinks, the pearl diver & a painkiller. Overall my experience was amazing and if you’re in Grand Rapids Max’s is a MUST DO!“

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

“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.“

“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 :)“

“First time there! Loved it ! My family and I had a great time. Loved the atmosphere retro vibes !!! Awesome . Ice cream cookies were delicious we tried : coconut , lemon and Carnage. Cherry bubble tea also delicious. Great staff friendly and very hospitable. Next time we are in GR first spot we are coming to.🫡🤩“
