19 Best Vegan Restaurants near New Buffalo

“Long time patron of the Terrace Room here. I’m a local and have loved the evolution this space has travelled from years ago. Recently ate here again with my husband (use to eat here 1x a month, now less frequent) and was a bit disappointed. The ambience and setting is stellar and basically the best in the region. First point, the price point is hard not to notice. That being said, I get it. It is a tough business and margins are slim. However, this brings me to the second point: If you need to price things where it costs literally hundreds of dollars for a meal for two, the service must be impeccable. Here is where service detracted from the experience. Our server was very nice and well meaning. However, he recited the day’s specials highlighting what he DIDN’T know about each item. For example “I haven’t seen it” or “Not sure what peppers the chef is using in that entree”….etc. This detracted from the experience. Also, steak didn’t come with a steak knife; had to ask for one. Again, not a big deal, but when you’re already feeling the price pinch, you want everything to be stellar to make up for that. Additionally, they use to serve lovely warm bread with olive oil - that is gone! We really missed that special touch. I’d also like them to add to the wine list so there is more than Italian wines. Finally, they serve complimentary small cookies for an after dinner sweet (if you don’t order dessert). Of course, this is lovely. However, they have been serving the same, literally, after dinner cookies for 15 years. Would like to see some variety. How about biscotti, or some chocolates? It is hard not feel like you are paying for more (which is literally true and not their fault) and receiving less - which is also true (no bread!). I love this place, but a bit disappointed and less likely to frequent as often.“

“Bentwood Tavern was absolutely incredible and helped make one of the most meaningful days I have ever planned feel truly unforgettable.

I had put an enormous amount of thought into creating a very special day for my partner, and our brunch at Bentwood was an important part of that experience. I reached out ahead of time with a few special requests, and the team executed everything beautifully. The table was ready, the timing was perfect, the details were handled exactly as I had hoped, and the staff made the entire experience feel completely seamless.

What meant the most to me was how genuinely invested they seemed in helping me create the moment. Nothing felt awkward, rushed, or like I was asking too much. They understood that this was more than just brunch for us, and they treated it that way.

The service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful, the food was excellent, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. My partner felt incredibly special, which was exactly what I wanted, and Bentwood Tavern played a real part in making that happen.

I am deeply grateful to the team for the care they put into our visit. When you spend weeks planning something for someone you love, having a restaurant take your vision seriously and execute it this beautifully means more than I can explain.

Thank you for helping me create a memory we will carry with us for a very long time. We will absolutely be back.“

“This was our first visit to the Staymaker, which is the restaurant within the Journeyman Distillery. We are visiting from Chicago and this was recommended and we were not disappointed! Everything was really excellent! From our charming and attentive server Hailey, to the amazing smoked trout spread app to the Trout entree and the brisket meatloaf. It was all so delicious! We will be back!“

“Great ambience!! The tea bombs were amazing. I got the "Captain America" one with pomegranate and raspberry!! Anastasia is so nice and welcoming!! She will make you and even your kiddos something energizing and fresh❤🤩“

“Cafe Gulistan is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel at ease the moment you step inside. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with an eager invitation to linger, relax, and socialize right away. Even before the first dish arrives, the mood is set by the staff: everyone is smiling, happy, and eager to help, as if they’ve been expecting you.

And then there’s the food, which is simply extraordinary. Every bite feels made with care, bursting with flavor in a way that’s both tantalizing and deeply comforting. We ordered the rack of lamb and the pasta gulizani, and from the first taste, conversation completely fell to the wayside. It wasn’t that we lacked anything to say—it was that the food demanded our full attention. We were too busy savoring the next mouthful.

If you’re the kind of person who thinks you’ve seen it all and tasted everything, Cafe Gulistan may still surprise you. It’s the perfect blend of indulgence and comfort, served with hospitality that makes the whole experience feel effortless. I can’t recommend Cafe Gulistan enough.“

“Today was our first time eating here and will positively not be the last !! The food and the Service were both Phenomenal!! 10/10 For Sure“

“This is our first time visiting Three Oaks, and first time at Froehlichs. It’s a wonderful eclectic interior, and you can also buy all sorts of coffees, jams, candles etc in the back area. The foods was really good! We had the pepper burger and a corn elote salad with salmon. For dessert we had a mixed fruit mini pie (so fresh!) and the chocolate cake. Both delicious! Our server Jane was very nice and attentive as well. We will be back for breakfast!“
