50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Mendota Heights

“Tonight was our first visit. Definitely going back again. Food was delicious, nice ambiance, the staff were attentive and friendly.“

“The husband took our 4 year old and 7 year old to eat dinner there today without me. He ordered 1 kiddie bowl of pho and a 2nd kiddie bowl of broth and meatballs only. They charged him for 2 adult phos (16.00 each= 30 total) ontop of the regular entres he ordered (75.46 total). We've been dining there almost once a week for the past few months spending close to 100 each time. Very disappointed and show no value to loyal customers. Never returning.“

“This place is not inexpensive; but the food is worth every single penny. It’s unique, it’s vegan, it’s delicious, and it’s healthy. The atmosphere is very comfortable. (although the music was a little bit loud for conversation). I shared the cauliflower tacos and hummus plate and we each had a glass of wine and took the yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy cheesecake home (the cheesecake seemed expensive at the time; but I will purchase it again and again. Every taste was Yum Yum Yum Yum.). a lot of times when I go out to eat I think; I could’ve saved money and just ate at home. However, I truly felt my money was well spent! The food was fresh. Very tasty. The arugula salad was phenomenal, even though it was very simple. I need to come back here way more often. Thank you very much for your dedication to healthy, tasty, vegan food. Also, their dedication to quality continues year after year. I think that’s wonderful.“

“My absolute favorite vegan eating establishment in the Twin Cities!! Friendly staff, amazing food!“

“The food and atmosphere was absolutely awesome. Everything we tried had so much flavor. You also get so much food for what you pay for, and it’s worth every penny. Will be showing it off to family and friends!“

“Best pasta in the Twin Cities?????? Cavatelli with Rabbit Sugo was marvelous. We swapped and tried each others and I was equally floored by all of them. Wonderful service. Our server was friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks and cheesecake for dessert (ate immediately, not pictured). Absolutely will come back- hopefully soon!“

“My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.“

“I've been meaning to try for the last year and finally stopped by and had lunch. Ordered the Samosa and the Pumpkin curry and vietnamese coffee. All were really delicious. I will definitely be back.

Vegetarian options: There were several dishes that could be made vegetarian as you can choose your protein.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. It is wheelchair friendly, but I wasn't able to check the bathroom situation.“

“My husband and I had a splendid lunch date at the Himalayan Restaurant. The seating outdoors is so beautiful and is decorated with many flowers. The atmosphere inside for lunch was quite peaceful, which is my ideal type of restaurant.
We ordered dumplings as an appetizer. My husband enjoyed the extra spicy sauce. I liked the sauce with tomatoes and spices.
The main courses are made to the spice level you prefer. The chicken tikka masala and the mixed curry were absolutely delicious. The naan was seasoned well with garlic and herbs. The white and brown rice were fluffy and cooked perfectly as well.
We are hoping to eat here again soon. Highly recommend!
Thank you!“

“This place is amazing! They do not disappoint. We come here all the time before Vikings games! Chao!“

“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“

“Soooo yummy. Especially love the cabbage roll in tomato cream sauce. Melt in your mouth comfort food! 🤤 This is a great local gem we are fortunate to have. ❤️“

“This review won't inform potential future diners because we ate there on Young Joni's final night of service, Sept. 12, 2025. Fantastic meal and ambiance. We arrived for our 4 pm reservation, first of the evening, and Ann Kim walked the 50 or so people-long waiting line thanking us for coming. It was a heartfelt greeting and the beginning of a very special meal. The pizza's were outstanding - with chewy, wood-fired crusts. My wife had the Old Reliable, a simple marinara pizza, and I had the La Parisienne, which was prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula and a tasty pickled mustard seed compote. We also shared an appetizer of chicken wings. Plenty of food for the two of us, but we indulged in two wonderful desserts as well: Dad's Favorite Carrot Cake - a ginger-spiced, rich version of the old classic - and a fruit crisp with a unique combination of peach and blueberry. The wait staff was very attentive, especially given the emotion and fanfare of a closing night. Thank you Ann Kim and your wonderful staff for a great 10 years at Young Joni and we'll see you soon at Pizza Lola...and more!“

“You HAVE to try every FLAVOR!!!!“

“On a bike ride off the Minnehaha Parkway, we happened upon Heathers on a warm end-of-summer day. We walked in and ordered a nice beer on tap and relished in their fresh-cut romantic flowers in vases on their outdoor patio tabletops.

The dilly ranch, savory and tantalizing, made the Blackened Salmon Dilly Ranch Salad, a delicate and sumptuous salad of gem lettuce, crunchy radish, fresh avocado and cucumber, sunflower seeds, and pickled onions.

The saucy sumptuous teriyaki made the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, a piquant mouthfeel, a delight of bright green edamame, brilliant pink pickle onions, avocado, rice and fresh broccoli. Delicious!“

“Love this place!!! everything is delicious! 10/10“

“Friendly staff, fast service, clean atmosphere & there’s always good music being played. I am obsessed with the gai rolls! So delicious! If you haven’t had them please get them! I definitely recommend trying this place at least once, you’ll definitely be back though.“

“the food and bakery items are all so delicious!!“

“Classic diner comfort with a modern update on the menu. Lots of great cocktail and beer options, but not so many that it’s not kid friendly. Have been here twice now, and both times food and service has been excellent.“

“The fact that they Fed the homeless means everything! In a world where everyone is out for themselves, this means so much them helping people God bless them“

“Went there today for the first time. Great food, chef kissed delicious! Great service, friendly atmosphere. Wish my youngests food came out at the same time as the other 4 of us (his came out 10 minutes later and he’s 2) but portions were so big we had enough of our food to share as he didn’t eat his when it finally came. Otherwise delicious and would definitely recommend“

“yummm!!! would eat there again“

“Awesome food was skeptic at first but it's really good I scored a groupon for this huge platter. Will come back for lunch soon!“

“I haven't been able to find a better place for massamun curry in the cities than here. Always delicious and always made super spicy (which I love.)“

“Absolutely fabulous! I moved from Europe 3 months ago and started to miss some of the European food. This place is IT! We went there twice, 1st time I ordered pizza - legit with fluffy crust! 2nd time I got Croque Madame and they nailed it too! Prices are reasonable, service amazing and plenty of room for parking. My new favorite place when I get home sick! ❤️ Thank you!“

“The Miso was delicious, the menu is not specific enough or maybe I don’t eat enough sushi to know. When I read “7 assorted sushi” I think the typical ones like a sushi roll, no all huge slices of raw fish. It wasn’t the servers fault so I just gave it to my friends, paid the bill and left. I think if you’re super into the raw fish texture you’d love this place, it was the largest slices of fish I’ve seen served that way.“

“We had a fabulous dinner with another couple. Food was great, table was great, service was very good. Disappointed that no staff told us that 26% charges were automatically included. My fault for not inspecting the itemized bill closer i would have expected staff to share that a 21% gratuity was already included (not to mention an additional “administrative “ fee was also included) before I added an additional 20% gratuity.“

“Outstanding Service! Pizza and salads are absolutely amazing!!“

“I was watching the show Taste Buds and they were at Laune Bread. Everything looked amazing and I had to check it out! Lots of variety and delicious! Will definitely be going back!“

“Wow! That brunch buffet was fantastic! I'm from Texas and this was pretty close to the Mexican food I'm used to. Definitely going again and I'm bringing friends!“

“Delicious mojitos. Friendly and welcoming staff. Warm atmosphere. I was invited by one of the owners and had no idea what to expect when I arrived. Most of the reviews I’ve read mention the food but not the drinks so I will review the mojito. A little bit of background for the reader. I’ve had mojitos throughout states coast to coast ( including Florida, New York California and Georgia. Furthermore, I’ve even bartended and gone up against popular bartenders and am confident that I make the best mojitos this side of the Mississippi. Either way that being said, the mojito I had at Jasmine 26 was delicious definitely top three in the world. Now as for the atmosphere, the space was very clean, well lit and I felt safe throughout. It may not be a big deal to some people, but it was for me. Last but certainly not least, I’d like to give a huge shoutout to the staff. The service I received was the most important as I’ll remember and return to a place with mediocre product but exceptional service. I’ll also remember and never return to a place with mediocre service, no matter how exceptional the product. Fortunately, the entire staff was very friendly with their service and the mojito was the icing on the cake. All in all, i look forward to going back and enjoying a meal with them again.“
