50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lake Elmo

“We had one of the most surprising, memorable evenings in years! Excellent food, pure joy!“

“This was our first time ever trying the Machine Shed. Kristi was absolutely amazing and so is the food! Even just starting out you get amazing bread and cinnamon apples, as well as their coleslaw! Kristi was an absolute sweetheart. We will be regulars from here on out.“

“The duck wontons are all that… not so bacony, but almost like creamed corn on the inside. Waiter was nice as well. Kept putting water on the table, though, so I kept drinking it because he expected me to. The people next to us looked at me weird after the fifth, but they kept coming so ??. Mac and cheese was bomb, fries were good, a little oniony which I loved. The drinks are big. Old fashioned comes with a waffle and candied bacon and in a smoky jar! $70 for 2 people is eek though. Especially when we split our main dish…“

“The food was absolutely amazing I really let gluttony take over and I ordered more than I could finish so epic leftovers! The establishment was pleasantly Decorous the beauty and the food definitely make up for the lack of space in the restaurant but that is my only complaint“

“Diana and the team at Ronnally's were incredible! They fueled the Woodbury Boys Soccer Team for their 2023 playoff run with unbelievable family style food (garlic toast, caesar salad and pastas) and service! Thank you Ronnally's Team! ⚽️⚽️⚽️“

“Delicious, fresh, hand made pizza. We love patronizing this local establishment. We'll definitely be back!“

“Tried Melt Pizza in Stillwater today for lunch. Spectacular! I missed out when Melt was getting hyped a year or 2 ago when they were doing a pop up at Pedro's del Este in Hudson. Glad I got to try it. The OG was my favorite of the 2, but the Longanisa was solid too and a fun unique bunch of flavors to try. Also pictured is their brussels sprouts app which was excellent as well. We had 2 toddlers with, at the time we walked in, they only had high tops. Once we sat down 2 tables opened up and we asked if we could switch as the 1 yo is not sitting stable on the booster seat (no strap attached to the high top chairs). The servers are very accommodating to let us made the switch. The ladies room has a good changing table (crib and everything) but not in the men's room.“

“Good was amazing! Fast friendly service and super fresh! Highly recommend!“

“Great Mediterranean food. I had the Barbacoa Quesedilla with a friend. He had the Carne Asada. We ordered the clam and corn chowder. We were extremely satisfied.The servers were amazing. We got our water refilled near instantly when out. They gave personal recommendations and helped us decide what to get. All of the waitresses were very hospitable and social.“

“We came in on a Friday morning, hoping to enjoy the Main Eggs Benedict. It is a “weekend only” menu item-but our wonderful server asked the cooks if they could whip up a couple of Eggs Benedict for us-which they did for us! Thank you Main Cafe-you made us both so happy! Excellent Eggs Benedict!“

“The Kinda Big Dill Pizza lives up to the hype and the sodas are so good! Fast and friendly service. Came for the state fair special and definitely going to return!!“

“If anyone would like a good restaurant to eat at I would suggest going to the North Pole restaurant in Newport Minnesota. The staff are nice and when you ask them for something they will get it for you right away.“

“Colleen was a great server. We felt the ease of accommodation at some of our requests. The food choices here keep you wanting to come back and try other things. And they also have some considerably healthy options as well. I left full but not feeling fully "greased" out by an overuse of oils and fats.“

“After years of looking around the twin cities for my favorite slice... I'm happy to say this is the best pizza I've ever had. I come here at least twice a week for lunch now. They take their slice game seriously. 10/10 If you haven't been here you are missing out!“

“Shar’els is just a great local cafe. The food is excellent. The service is great. Highly recommend for a great meal!“

“Our waitress was awesome and the food was great!“

“We have passed by Phil’s Tara for years, and always said “I really want to try that place”. Well, today we did, and it was simply divine. We don’t get out on date night often, but when we do, we want to try new things; oysters were our first endeavor. Out waiter, Jackson, gave us the entire 4-11 on exactly how to throughly enjoy oysters, and we ordered more after. Jackson truly made our experience one-of-a-kind.We fell in love with Phil’s Tara today, and we will be back again, and again.“

“Angelina's is our local Italian style restaurant. The food and service are really good. ? I love the eggplant ? parmesan. The wife had a really tasty shrimp ? pasta dish with asparagus and mushrooms ?.We split a bottle of wine ? (hey we were celebrating). They bring our bread ? with dipping oil. We splurged and got dessert ? too. Gelato and cake with a little dessert wine to wash it down.Vegetarian options: Eggplant ? parmesan is really good.“

“We have been coming to Bricks for years and have never been disappointed. The pizza is by far the best in the area. The service we received tonight way exceeded our expectations. My son got sick just after placing our order and the staff was amazing. They prepared and boxed up our food as quickly as possible and even wrote my son a sweet little “get well soon” note on the pizza box! Loved this place before - - love it even more now!!“

“This is a favorite of ours, ate here again tonight after picking our son up at the airport (home is Eau Claire). I love burgers, but there is a wonderful variety on the menu for everyone. And the sun was setting over the river to top it off!Kid-friendliness: Lots of families dining tonight, welcoming atmosphere“

“Had a great meal at the restaurant. We arrived for lunch and were seated promptly. The place is nicely decorated and linens were provided for the table and napkins, a nice touch.Orders were placed and received in a reasonable amount of time.The food was really delicious. We ordered the Chicken Marsala, spinach with mushrooms, and chicken with vegetables. All three were excellent. The waiter asked how ? we wanted the food on a scale of 1-5. We ordered a 1, 2, & 3. The spiciness was perfect, the 3 delivered a nice kick, but not unpleasant, the 2 just a tad below the 3, and the 1 had no heat.The rice was really good and was not lumpy or sticky. We asked for a second dish, and it was delivered immediately.The naan was also very good. I preferred the naan with cheese over the naan with garlic, a personal preference.Will definitely have to return as there are many more offerings on the menu that looked interesting.If you want good Indian food, I highly recommend India Palace.“

“I just ate here for lunch amazing pizza ? do not pass this spot up thinking it’s another pizza shop it’s not. Real Authentic people and pizza don’t miss the chance to taste how simple pizza can be, top 3 pizza places in this state if you ask me!“

“Update: haven't been in a few months, so I was kind of surprised that some things had changed. Tue hashbrowns are not what they used to be. They might be fresh made instead of from frozen, but they aren't better. They were gummy and not crispy. Also, pancake was served gummy too had to send it back.Long time pet peeve - cheap flatware. I really wish they would upgrade from the cheap diner stuff.Still a good breakfast overall, just a rough morning today.Reliably fantastic breakfasts. Always my first choice.Parking: Parking lot across the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, coloring, accommodating of special requests that only kids come up with.“

“Amazing atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced. The live music is a plus!!!“

“Great food and service! They were really busy on a Friday and we didn’t have reservations but they got us in right away and into a nice curve both. The 8oz sirloin was above average. Hubs said the chicken and ribs was extra good. Our friends seemed to like the ahi and the full rack of ribs.“

“As good as it gets and will fly back just to eat here. I know seems extreme, but this place should have an impact. I grew up in restaurants from chef's to cooks and around the world. I had a delightful experience at this gem. Flavor, execution, balanced and great service.“

“Nathaniel helped us host a fabulous party for my son (6) and his friends. He checked in regularly and took great care of us. Food was great and everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped. Thanks to the whole team for a great Sunday night!“

“One of my go-to restaurants in downtown Stillwater. The steak tacos, ghost pepper burger and rosemary sea salt fries are so yummy! I've never eaten something I didn't like. Just wish the restaurant was a bit bigger or they took reservations.“

“Loved it, owner and staff are amazing“

“We came in for Mother's Day Brunch today, what a treasure! The food was excellent, fresh, and tasty!!! The musician was great and so friendly, and our server Tanya(sp) took great care. The monster chocolate covered strawberry was the crowning touch. You've got some lifelong fans here, thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“The wings at the D-spot will change your life, there is no better place in terms of wing quality (size) and flavor options, whether you're a sweet and savory, or into the wings that'll burn you twice, this is the creme de la creme anywhere period. Blathala's bliss is my favorite (sweet and savory), we also had tarantula which also are very flavorful and not a ton of heat.Speaking of heat, rumor has it there is a secret menu not offered until you've had the full gamut of their main menu hottest wings, and if you want to order them you have to call ahead for an appointment, sign a waiver and the wings cannot leave the facility because you could hurt someone with their potency.“

“Decided to finally try this place. I was not disappointed! The artichoke dip is cheesy and creamy. The burger is full of flavor in every bite. My ma loved the fried walleye and chips. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They didn't rush us and was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We will definitely be back!“

“Matchstick has become my "go-to" place whenever friends or family come to visit (or if I just want an amazing meal). Their menu is truly impressive. It has become hard to choose a favorite dish because I have truly enjoyed everything I have tried so far. The service is really out of this world awesome. Their menu has something for everyone so you really can't go wrong if you are trying to impress someone and make them happy. Matchstick is really special!!!“

“Food was amazing! Service was top notch. I drive to the cities often from central Wisconsin and will be back again. Not sure what these lunatics are talking about "bad pho". I consider myself a connisuer and it was delicious. Make sure to get the spring rolls with the peanut sauce.“

“Wonderful, relaxing space for having a glass of wine and some fabulous bites. The truffle oil Brussel sprouts are absolutely fantastic. Server Amanda is kind, knowledgeable and personable. Manager Sara was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place! Great variety of drinks and food! Love the tap selection, Minnesota Dry Rub wings, Turkey Burger (or that you can create whatever kind of burger you like), friendly staff, and fun atmosphere. This is a great spot to go for a night with your friends, family, or date - it really has something for everyone.“

“Best coffee ever!!“

“Stillwater has somehow kept this place a secret from Wisconsin people. Or maybe it's the wonderful new-ish bridge diverting traffic from historic downtown that made us miss it..... Regardless Wow! If you haven't you have to, if You've heard, then you know, and if you don't wanna know then you just plained missed out, on the second ? most stunning experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Don't treat this place as a bar restaurant it's not even in the same breath. Long winded I apologize, for starters The lovely waitress offers us warm sugar donuts just as a treat. Spectacular idea. Then we indulged into this heavenly plate of Parmesan fries. I could have just had those and been happy. I had the capper burger. Perfectly cooked wonderfully done personally I'd 86 the ciabata bun for a pretzel bun or traditional bun but it didn't downgrade it at all. my wife had the carbonara... that may have edged out The Post American Eatery .. maybe. It was bursting with flavor absolutely a masterpiece. We ended with some delightful key lime pie. Perfect service perfect food perfect atmosphere. All at 4:00 on a Monday. Standards set high bar none. Mic drop Mad capper. Well done Chef well done all. I'll be back and this time I'll charge my phone one more time Chef well down ?“

“Updating to 5 stars as they very quickly added a changing table after I posted my review. Appreciate you guys for being so customer friendly. Thanks!!***Please provide a changing table in the restroom.The beer was okay. The fact that they had other drinks (such as mules) was nice, trivia is good, glad they had a food truck. But, there was plenty of other people with infants there as well. Changing tables are a basic courtesy. We can't take babies outside in winter to change them.“

“We had a great experience at Ziggy’s today! Being from out of town, we stopped in for a quick drink and some cheese curds and we weren’t disappointed. The bartender (and possibly manager/owner?), Steve, took great care of us and showed real midwestern hospitality. Do yourself a favor and try the cheese curds with blackberry ketchup—they are divine!“

“I loved it, the place is very nice and also the service was very good and the food, without a doubt, was delicious ? the only exception was the girl who took us to the table, I think she was not in a good mood, but the truth is that she Everything else was great and I would definitely go again.“

“I mean the atmosphere and ambience of this place is why you come! God I love a bar/restaurant with carpet on the walls and potentially on the ceiling.This is a German bar serving American food but mannnnn their burger with kraut slapped. They also have Hefeweißen on tap which is sort of unheard of at bars in Minnesota. Staff was so friendly too! This is a place to stop in for a beer or 2 or 3 and stay for some yummy apps.Loved it and will be back again!“

“My girlfriend and I recently checked out Post American Eatery for the first time and had an awesome experience! The atmosphere was really cool and relaxed, and the staff was incredibly friendly. My girlfriend ordered the Beef Ragu and loved it! The meat was super tender, and the sauce was just right. I went for the Prime Rib special, and it was delicious – cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Our server was great, too – really helpful and laid-back. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes. If you're looking for a place with great food, a cool vibe, and excellent service, I'd highly recommend giving Post American Eatery a try. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back!“

“Their specials are amazingly low priced (as is their regular menu). Love their Coney Dogs (on special 3 days a week for $8.50 for 2 dogs and fries) and the M-F burger basket for $8. This place is a classic bar, the oldest continuously operating bar in Minnesota I believe. Decor is classic, has a tin ceiling, classic beer signs and the like. It can get really busy at times, super crowded l, as a random Saturday where I went in for Coney Dogs- the place was overflowing with bikers standing all over the place. It can also get really loud- I felt like I probably got hearing damage from the raucous noice levels of the bikers. The place is great overall. Staff is friendly, decent selection of beers mostly focused on people pleasing domestics and some craft beers (they are in the Pub Pass too). Check it out for some tasty bar food, just be aware you may have to change your mind and walk across the street to Mac's if the place is elbow to elbow busy.“

“This restaurant is such a hidden gem in White Bear Lake. Staff is attentive, friendly, and hard working. The food was great, and they accommodated our large group wonderfully, in such short notice. Support your local business, you won't be disappointed!“

“Have the bull bite appetizer it was amazing. I had the Prime rib med rare. It was Perfectly cooked. The green beans were yummy. My husband had the 5 piece fish fry. He said it was very good. It was busy. We made reservations. Celebrated a friend's birthday thier chocolate cake came with sparklers and a cow bell. Fun and delicious. So good!“

“Just got some Pizza for lunch for my office. It was absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly when I went to pick up the pizza. I’ve never seen such a clean pizza place. I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this place!“

“Not only is the pizza excellent, but the staff is, too. And the restaurant seems even quieter and more comfortable than some of the other locations. Plus, the chocolate brownies are almost criminally delicious.“

“Savanna is amazing! My cousin brought me here for my 30th birthday and she had the best service! 10/10, can’t wait to come back!“

“We went tonight for the first time to hear a band my husband wanted to check out. I looked at the menu on their page and found something I could eat ( being gluten free sometimes menus are limited) but I ordered the trash can Nacho's and omg they were huge. Enough for 2-3 people. Beef chicken or carnitas. I did the chicken. There were so many flavors heaped on top, they were delicious.My husband had a hot roast beef dip sandwich and he said it had a bite and was awesome.Live music upstairs at 9pm. Earlier downstairs was a piano player and everyone sang along. Yes they did Billy Joel the piano man lol. It was a fun crowd, fun atmosphere and good food. We'll definitely go again.“
