50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Arden Hills

“First visit today. Food was great and Ravi, our server was very friendly and helpful in explaining the dishes. We ordered way too much food! But we will enjoy the leftovers- and we will be back!“

“Visited 4/15/24. Back at BLG. As always, give yourself time (and money) for parking. I like the ramp across the street vs trying to find street parking. We got a reservation in advance which was good because this place was popping on a Monday night! To start, we split the garlic and EVOO and then the charred red onion with goat cheese bruschettas. My sister and I were partial to the goat cheese one but both were solid. I got the gnocchi with cauliflower and orange (my fave), my sister got the red wine with pine nut spaghetti, and my mom got the mushroom and taleggio agnolotti. I've had the gnocchi before and it was just as good this time. The sleeper hit of the night was as the red wine with pine nut spaghetti-honestly a good price for the portion size and the overall flavor. The agnolotti was rich but delicious. Honestly everything that I've had at BLG has been on the richer side but that's low key how I prefer my Italian food. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone. Old school Italian meets modern in a trendier place that still feels homestyle like my Italian grandma's kitchen.“

“Food was delicious and presentation beautiful. Savored every bite.“

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well“

“The best Italian food in the Twin Cities by far, and I’m an Italian food snob.“

“I initially visited this place when it first opened, and my experience wasn't impressive enough to make me return. However, with the positive reviews accumulating over the years, I decided to give it another try. I'm pleased to say that this time around, I was very satisfied. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the wait staff was attentive. Although the dining room was loud during our visit at a peak time, I won't let that deter me from returning. I'll simply choose a different time for my next visit.“

“My favorite eating place on the entire planet. If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be their cabbage rolls. I usually have one for my main course and then one for dessert. Everything is fantastic. Kidding on the dessert thing. :)“

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite“

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“I ordered a king cake to take in to work- without a doubt the best one I’ve had, it melts in your mouth! The staff was exceptionally friendly and offered an extra cup of frosting. Great environment if you’re just looking for a place in Minneapolis to sit down with a cup of coffee and a treat too!“

“I didn’t know how good Vegan food tasted until eating at Heal Mpls. The ambience is very comforting and peaceful. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Good Vibes!!!“

“4/17/24: The three of us enjoyed a lovely dinner but more than the food was our wonderful server. I WISH I would have asked for her name!! She was simply outstanding. She helped my wife decide on some “gluten free” options, and she was spot on with her suggestions! We shared a bottle of the Raymond Chardonnay, the Ahi Crisps on cucumbers, the Crispy Shrimp w/Dragon Sauce & Togarashi, the Boneless GF Dry Rub Wings and finally the Buffalo Cauliflower. Because of our server we will return!“

“Whoa, all those suggestions are weird. IE has been our favorite place since they opened. The service is always good, the food is always good. It’s a little bit upscale but we regularly bike there so I never particularly care what I wear. Cocktails are good. Amari is really good.“

“The one that only locally grown locally raised locally licked clean bowls . Every time a new flavor up on the board I have not had a bad one I've had over half of these choices I just had the cherry and vanilla phenomenal. I got a pint of grapefruit sorbet holy moly.“

“No place like it. Have been going since I was 12. Best blueberry pancakes in the world“

“It was not our first time at Heather's. But it was for my sister and her family. We were able to book a last minute reservation outdoors. We each had a different meal. Our server was Ena, who was delightful, helpful, knowledgeable, efficient, friendly! We always love the menu at Heather's. My sister & family were over the moon with the quality of the food and the great atmosphere. Thanks to everyone!“

“Extremely friendly atmosphere and staff. Our server, Jackson, has the best personality. Being our first visit, he explained the ingredients and recommended to try different sauces which were great. We asked to speak with his manager and Danny was just as kind. It’s nice to see a manager supporting his team with pride.“

“Absolutely Fried Chicken absolutely loved the four-piece bucket good size for two. Would do this again.“

“Exceptional food! Super nice servers!“

“Good variety of dishes, options for special dietary needs. Atmosphere is pleasant and clean.“

“Everytime We come to bole, the service is always excellent and the food is delicious.“

“Dining here was an absolute joy for my husband and me. Every bite of the authentic and delicious food transported us to the heart of Nepal. Savoring the flavors under the outdoors, covered patio alongside a refreshing Nepali beer was perfection. Above all, the hospitality surpassed all expectation. The owner made us feel like we were being welcomed home! He shared his homemade pickled aachar and homemade tomato spicy aachar which was so kind of him. Trust me, a visit here is not just a meal, it's an unforgettable and genuine memory. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!!“

“This might be my new favorite vegan restaurant in the Twin Cities. The food was excellent and the servers were friendly and efficient.I got the fried chicken sandwich with cheese fries and both exceeded my expectations. I was a little worried about the cheese having that “cashew vegan cheese” taste (lol, IYKYK) but this was not the case at all. Wouldn’t have even guessed it was vegan cheese if I didn’t know. Definitely recommend checking out even if you’re not vegan/veg!“

“Everything! Loved the drinks and creative, yummy menu!! So fun!❤️“

“I’ve only had Lebanese food through my former boss and it was always so good! Today I stopped in to try their tabouli & I was so impressed I went back and got some more! You know how it is when you’re introduced to a different ethnic food from someone’s family vs a restaurant and the restaurant usually disappoints? Well this was better than the home made version I had. Will be back for sure“

“I was in Minneapolis for a show and wanted sushi. So glad I found this place!! The restaurant is beautiful inside and has a very nice outdoor patio with lots of umbrellas for shade. The food was fantastic!! I had sushi and got a tuna poke bowl to go. I’ll definitely be back for the Tibetan Momo!! If you haven’t been to Momo Sushi you need to check it out!!“

“Friendly service in a fun atmosphere. The food arrives incredibly fast. The flavors are fresh and vibrant. Highly recommend the Brussels Sprouts and the Cubano Arepa“

“Super cute, great decor, lovely staff, 10/10 would go again“

“Had a wonderful family dinner at Zelo last night Service great Food and wine wonderful Round table great to catch up with family members in from out of town with on a cold MN January evening“

“Truly amazing, unique, one of a kind homemade ice cream flavors“

“This will become a "MUST GO TO" anytime I'm in Minneapolis. I just loved Lutunji instantly, her service, coffee and food was superior and you felt instantly like family.“

“Great food, friendly staff, warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“We love the Sample Room - always have, always will! We had an excellent experience at the bar for Dine Out For Life - Richard took awesome care of us & the food was delicious! Highly recommend the lion's mane mushroom cakes, trout croquettes, & the mussels (personally we'd skip the sausage, takes away from the mussels). Overall, fantastic dining, thank you!“

“Delish Healthy Options! The Green Acres Avocado Toast…“

“Great little place! Yummy food, reasonable prices, excellent service. We will be back!“

“Food was awesome and the service was excellent I commend them for their sandwiches“

“had the peachy butter and the dulce de Leche so good. highly recommend“

“Really good pizza with some unique and familiar options to suit your level of adventure. REALLY appreciated our server who suggested 1 dish per person when sharing. It wasn't a push to sell more and was just about the perfect amount for our table. “

“Absolutely phenomenal food and experience. Our server Louis was beyond amazing as he took the time to explain the dishes, cocktails, and so much more. Hat's off!Speaking of dishes, the bison tartare was increibly good, but we were blown away by the flavor of the duck ragu in the Torchietti. We had it made gluten-free to accommodate my wife's dietary needs, and the pasta was still delicious! We didn't stop there, adding an order of the pork chop for me and Alaskan halibut for my wife. The flavor profile on the pork chop dish was insanely big, bold, and wonderful. It was such a contrast to the halibut, which was also wonderful but much more delicate. Both were great. We were stuffed. There was no room for dessert, but since we had let it be known we were out celebrating a special event, we were not to leave without a wonderful little celebration treat. It was much appreciated!Our seating was at the Chef's Counter, and it couldn't have been more perfect. It gave us witness to all the incredible work going on in the kitchen as well as all the dishes that were getting prepped. TheDietary restrictions: My wife is gluten-free, and not only do they accommodate this with some of their dishes they go above and beyond to communicate between the waiter and kitchen about the dietary needs. This shows up starting with bread basket modifications, moves into extra tasting bites supplied to us from the head chef, and follows through to all our entrees and special desserts. Phenomenal staff coordination and cooperation.“

“So close to work I can’t believe I don’t eat here all the time. Great food and fun to sit at the window and watch people being people.“

“I’m not vegan (but my sister is) and I absolutely loved the food here!! I tried the regular mac and cheese, onion rings, ranch, bbq pork, cookie, and strawberry mango lemonade. I only got a picture of the lemonade because I dug in right away because it was so tasty. The flavors were delicious across the board we all loved what we ate, the people running the restaurant were so kind and explained things we had questions on, we had a large group and they were very accommodating, and I can’t speak highly enough about this experience. I don’t live in Minneapolis, but I will be back for this restaurant because wow absolutely phenomenal!!Vegetarian options: All options are vegetarian and vegan!Dietary restrictions: Perfect for people with egg, dairy, and meat allergies as everything is vegan.“

“One of my favorite fine dining places in the Twin Cities. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so aesthetically pleasing, light, open, airy, and in the summer fresh breezy air. On my most recent visit our server was probably one of the best servers I've had at any restaurant. So attentive (and patient of our big indecisive group). And even had a whole lighting production set up to take a group photo for us. It's truly just such a lovely experience. Then of course the food is absolutely phenomenal. The flavors are so rich and complex, but it all just feels so simple and warming. I forgot to take pictures of a couple things, the basil wings and our dessert were both great as well. There is also an incredible non-alcoholic cocktail list! It can get pricy, but it is 100% worth the value.“

“Very nice place. The pizza was excellent and our server was friendly and attentive!!“

“I had not been to Little T’s since the change in ownership and man was I blown way! We arrived around 7 pm with a large group and got a table right away. Our server, Sara, was super attentive, charming and very helpful. The drinks were delivered fast as was water for everyone. Our drinks were strong and delicious but the food is what really makes this place killer! We tried everything on the starters menu and each plate was flavorful with distinct and unique combinations. The cauliflower was incredible! The smash burger was so good that everyone at the table had to taste it. The atmosphere is delightful as well. I can’t rave enough about our experience at Little Tijuana’s!!!Vegetarian options: There is something for everyone!“

“Great venue for local hip hop events !!!“

“This place has been in my list of places to try for some time now. Happened to find myself in the area, and decided to go and try it. Servers are amazing! They know their menu, and are glad to give any recommendations. They recommended their Tex-Mex Breakfast Burrito, and it was fantastic! I will definitely eat here again!“

“I'm often skeptical about veg./vegan spots fearing the food will be bland hippy food. But Reverie shattered that presumption. Very flavorful food. I had the BBQ mock duck tacos. Very tasty with a lot of yummy spicy flavor. And the mock duck was nice and crispy on the outside (rather than spongy and weird). My lunch companion ate the cauliflower tacos and spoke highly of them. We shared the smoked potato salad, which was excellent. Flavorful, with properly cooked potatoes (NOT over cooked) . The service was nice and friendly, and we sat outside on their pleasant patio.“

“The food was incredible and our server Emily was amazing! Do not skip the guac!“

“We had a delightful time celebrating with family Friday evening. We have visited your restaurant from our homes in northeast Minneapolis and Bloomington several times over the last several years, and have enjoyed your classic and innovative menu which never disappoints. You are well worth the drive!“

“GIVE ME THIS BREAKFAST SANDWICH OVER & OVER AGAIN.Black Walnut is in a seemingly residential area of the southside of Hennepin [Uptown], but gets packed inside. it's a lovely place to sit down, meet friends, and just hang out. i don' think i would recommend it as a place work out of, but it's got a charm to it.would def go back again & again.“
