47 Best Vegan Restaurants in Traverse City

“A great dining experience!“

“Great food friendly service. South East Asian flavor at its finest! I almost felt like I was back in Phnom Penh. The food was so good Asian places in America usually don’t convey what you get in Asian cuisine but this restaurant does. Keep up the good work. Great work guys.“

“Slabtown is one of our must go to stops,everytime we are in TC..the staff are best I've seen ..quality of food top notch ..hot fast ..filling.. no better burger In TC..WISH I HAD A SLABTOWN BY ME...LOL“

“We always get the crispy chicken Caesar salad. It is the best salad ever. We live 3 hours away and we talk about this salad every day! Can’t wait to come back again! The pasta is delicious too, and the garlic dots!!“

“We loved taproot!! Food was amazing.! Great for gluten free and vegan. Even had a small dog menu! Our pup had a burger for dinner and our waitress was fantastic and welcoming to us and our dog! Thanks for a great experience! We will be back“

“This is our favorite restaurant in Traverse City. I’ve dined here many times times over the past several years and have been impressed each and every time. The food is always above expectations and on every visit there is something new to try. The atmosphere is cozy and never rushed. From the gracious owner, to the exceptional servers and the amazing bartender (she really is the best) they always make you feel like family. If you haven’t been there you are missing out on a wonderful dining experience.“

“Great food Great experience Dan the waiter is amazing ! Very friendly , professional waiter , highly recommend Dan - he’s the best !“

“Red Ginger is the full experience. The staff (Randy is our favorite server), drinks, food and atmosphere are simply put… AMAZING! They keep great records for when we call to make reservations. We always get the table we like. They are on top of allergy sensitive issues and are willing to adjust menu items (when they can) so we have more options. We never feel rushed or like they are trying to push us out for another sitting. This is our favorite restaurant to visit!“

“Our party of 7 was delighted with our menu options and choices. All the food was delicious and our server was courteous and attentive. The owner even stopped by our table to check in and was elated with the feedback we were able to give about our experience. Great food! My only complaint is that the space is quite noisy when it’s full. Otherwise it was awesome.“

“I grew up in this town but left in 1985. I’ve lived in California since and have eaten at a lot of great restaurants including the Laundry, Chez Panisse, Slanted Door and Mr Chows to name a few. This without a doubt rank's right there. I honestly never thought I’d have a decent thing to eat in this town other than bar food but now I know exactly where it is. If you’re hungry for something exceptional look no further. I have never liked mushrooms, but the mushroom toast was my favorite dish. I can’t believe I’m saying it. Thank you Jen and to the staff for a great evening Looking forward to going back.“

“Awesome people and vibes!! Inclusive and friendly, food is great and there are delicious healthy options as well. Beers are local and on point. We are regulars now - the Bamber beer is great. Pricing is very fair and portions are substantial.“

“Just had the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes. Wowzers! And she had the corned beef hash and scrambled eggs. Spot on breakfast food, top notch service only means we will be back again very soon! Keep up the hard work!“

“Great little place in Traverse City! They have a good variety of tasty beers and the pizza was delicious!“

“A pretty good spot. Most menu items are between $10-20. We did not order a burger, but there are 10 or so unique burgers on the menu. The jalapeño popper items (omelettes, burgers) really stuck out to me. I had the Philly wrap, it was great. Portions are not super huge, which is just fine. Cole slaw quality needs to be checked, that or it is just not their best item. The interior is very homey and will remind you of your home town diner.“

“Best gf/vegan baked goods we’ve ever had!!“

“The best Bagels I've ever had.“

“GREAT gin and tonic. I have to visit every time I am in the OMB area. This last time the new (to me) bartender was great - super friendly, good sense of humor, very helpful. He made sitting at the bar a fun experience! I hope he is there the next time we visit.“

“1st time today with friends. I had the pork tacos. so yummy. 🥰“

“Amazing ice cream in a charming location! Highly recommend!“

“Best ice cream shop yet !, fresh and unique. was so delicious and they made it quickly!“

“They did a cake for my husband and I and 180 cupcakes for my wedding in June and they were DELICIOUS. we got so many compliments on the desserts, would definitely hire them again!“

“Ordered an oreo ice cream birthday cake and it was excellent. Everyone loved it including those that don't care for oreo. Their ice cream really is the best!“

“Visited Good Harbor Coffee and Bakery recently and had a pretty good experience overall.
• Coffee: The coffee was satisfying and well-prepared. It hit the spot and definitely warrants a return trip for caffeine lovers.
• Breakfast: The breakfast options were decent, though I found them a bit on the dry side. Some tweaks to the preparation could make the meals much more enjoyable.
• Atmosphere: Cozy vibes and a welcoming environment make this spot great for a relaxed morning or a casual meet-up.
Would recommend for their coffee, and with a few improvements to the breakfast menu, this place could easily become a local favorite.“

“One of my favorite restaurants - it has excellent options for meat lovers (the braised short ribs are delightful) and vegetarians (the quinoa masa cakes are so good)! Don't forget dessert here either.“

“Had great service tonight. Waiter gave my indecisive wife multiple samples. We split the lamb burger and banh mi. The lamb burger is excellent, the bahn mi’s sodium content was off the charts and super gross. They can’t all be zingers! Still love this place, check it out!“

“Small quaint makes good memories“

“great selection! Customer service was great! clean and well put together! I will be going back!“

“This place was great! The bloody mary was delicious. We had the spinach dip with pita chips and tortilla chips. Tasted great. The wedge salad was so good. My husband had the chicken tenders and waffle fries which he thought were delicious. The wait staff were so friendly too. We will definitely be back!“

“I found your delicious pies at our local Gordon Food Service store up here in Escanaba, Michigan. I have never heard of your pies and decided to try an apple. Oh my goodness is it delicious!!! It is fantastic that they are being sold at GFS! I have tried the apple and cherry and they remind me of my grandmothers homemade pie. Highly recommend! I hope you continue to have GFS carry them!“

“This place is awesome!got us in last minute the start of restaurant week!!3 course was absolutely fantastic!the BBQ chicken pizza delicious!???? cheesecake on point.would give more stars if possible.???????“

“Great food and customer service!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“I loved everything about this restaurant except the price. That being said, you get what you pay for. 2 very tasty beers, and 2 huge plates of crispy fish & chips for my girlfriend and I with some whitefish dip as a starter set us back about $100. The drive there is part of the experience so dont forget to look around and imagine the life you'll never have owning or working at any of the hundred vinyards. The service was stellar, for our large group + 1 baby we felt well looked after. The beer was delicious, but if I knew it was $10 for 1 glass and roughly $25 for a growler, id have brought my own cup. If I'm back in Traverse City, Ill definitely go back for the fish and chips and a growler of beer.“

“Mama Lu's catered our wedding with their starters, sides, and taco bar, and it was a huge success! They were easy to work with from the start, and we were able to customize and choose the taco bar and offerings to fit the needs of our guests! 10 out of 10 stars! ❤️🎉 Thank you!“

“Excellent food. Filet Mignon was succulent . Tuna Steak was perfect. NY Strip was delicious. Tonja provided superb service. It's a little pricey but you get what you pay for and it was well worth it for such great service and wonderful food. It was my husband and girlfriends birthday and you really made the night. Thank you 😊“

“Food is always so Yummy..fast and friendly service..definitely recommend“

“My son and I love M+P! Our go to is the Nutella and strawberry crepe. The street style way it comes; in a handheld customizable tear away cardboard pocket, makes for the cleanest crepe experience.

We are M+P frequent fliers, giving us the opportunity and pleasure of being served by different staff members. I've never had a bad experience. The kindness, gratitude, and peaceful atmosphere makes it easy to get cozy in their diverse seating options.

I highly recommend you give them a chance, you won't regret it!“

“Scallops and Sea Bass, Delicious! Love restaurant week. Great way to sample lots of different restaurants and menus. Looking forward to next time.“

“Date: Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025.

We went to dinner at North Peak.
The pork chop with cherry sauce on top was scrumptious.
My wife had the delicious crusted chicken sandwich.
Our kids were happy as pie with their pizza and burger.
Our server Jack is a seasoned pro who was kind and attentive.

Nice Job North Peak! What a great place.

Garrett“
