47 Best Vegan Restaurants in Traverse City

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and excellent service!“

“A great dining experience!“

“Lamical review We first came here 20 years ago and we’re charmed by the ambiance, the fireplace and the delicious food. Our most recent visit in February 2022, after several years absence, was a sad disappointment. 1. We had to ask the waitress if the cheap hunk of dry buttered bread with a soft crust represented the baguette. Unfortunately it did. It was not sourdough as advertised. The waitress said it was a “wheat sourdough”? Ok, sure. 2. The French Onion soup was saltier than the Atlantic Ocean, was mostly bread filled with few onions, and was topped with mozzarella not gruyere. 3. The entrees were mediocre at beat. I’ve never ordered anything other than the roast chicken and was looking forward to it. The chicken was piled on top of the potatoes and broccoli in nouveau cuisine fashion and was drenched in a weird creamy sauce. The beef bourguignon was served with strange gigantic noodles. Not good. The price fixe items were mediocre. 4. Service was decent. The bus boys did a great job of filling our water glasses, which was appreciated given the salt level. We sadly and regretfully won’t be coming back.“

“Sorellina – Exceptional Italian Dining in Downtown Traverse City Every great trip needs that one memorable meal—and for anyone visiting Traverse City, Sorellina is where I send my clients for a truly special dining experience. Located right in the heart of downtown, Sorellina blends upscale Italian cuisine with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting—but it was the staff who really made the experience shine. They were not only knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, but genuinely fun to chat with. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in both the service and the energy of the space. And the food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor—from the fresh pastas to the perfectly balanced sauces. The attention to detail here is impeccable. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just craving great Italian, Sorellina delivers. It’s an ideal dinner spot after a day of wine tasting, cherry-picking, or shopping downtown. I always tell my travelers: make a reservation, go hungry, and let the staff guide you—because you won’t want to miss a bite. 🍝✨ Sorellina is a must-do dining destination in Traverse City. Elegant, flavorful, and unforgettable.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“Incredible food and a gracious host in Chris. We will be visiting again and again.“

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

“The best Bagels I've ever had.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great breakfast and very clean inside“

“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.“

“Good Healthy Food.
I had the Green Goddess Crunch Wrap and it was delicious & big….I could only eat 1/2. I also had an iced coffee that was excellent. We sat outside in their beautiful garden. It is a great space to hangout and relax. - don’t forget to get one of their Delicious homemade cookies“

“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.“

“Very friendly, fast and smiling staff. Food is excellent and tasty.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 😊“

“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.???????“

“Dropped in on a Saturday around Noon after walking the boardman trail. There wasn’t a wait & we were able to grab any seat we wanted. I got a Brie-apple crepe & my partner got a Nutella-banana crepe. We both got lattes with oat milk. The service was attentive & the workers were very sweet. My crepe was truly delicious - will crave it and think about it in the future!“

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

“A local told us we needed to visit here while in town and we are SO glad we came. If you are a fan of sour beers, they have a great Jolly Pumpkin brand selection.

The vibe of this building is second to none. Spooky yet cozy at the same time. Service was top tier. Our server, Penashe, was always on time and personable. She helped curate the Jolly Pumpkin experience.

We got truffle fires as an appetizer and they were some of the best truffle fries I’ve had. Fresh, truffle, Parmesan cheese coated goodness. The pepperoni pizza we got was AMAZING. I love good pizza, and this was GOOD pizza. Crust was perfect, dough was house made, perfect ration of pepperoni. We finished our meal off with the Pumpkin Cake and it was 10/10.

Overall, this place is a local legend. If you’re in the area, you MUST come here.“

“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!“

“Food was the best! Those burgers and fish and chips 😋 Sam has only worked there for two weeks but her service was superb! Highly recommend this gem. Oh and they have a fantastic Military discount ❤️🤍💙“

“love it. nice little place. So you might have alittle wait.“

“Great place with great food! A must try if you are in the Traverse city area!“

“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“
