50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Minneapolis

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

“Myself and four friends were in Minneapolis for a few days on a visit from Ireland and had breakfast here a few times. Food was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Service was brilliant. Staff friendly and efficient.“

“It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place you think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... 🍹: Xochitl In Love 🍸: La Clandestina 🐟: Tuna Tostada 🌮: Chicken Tinga Tostada 🦪: Seared Scallops 🫓: Tlayuda 🥃: Colita Old Fashioned 🥩: Lamb Barbacoa Tacos 🫔: Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!“

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“The staff are incredible and the food is outstanding I've never had anything like it, not to mention the bar is so gorgeous I could look at it forever. My husband and I have been here three times and we will be back again, soon I hope! This is the perfect spot wether you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or just want to try incredible food some place new! I will be back soon with my mom just because I think it's so magical everyone must experience it. Bûcheron is a must!“

“Very good food, great atmosphere. It may be Hard Times, but it feels like home.“

“The Jucy Lucy is the best hamburger I’ve ever had, with zero exaggeration. Fast, fresh, delicious. So good, had to get a second one. 1/2 order of fries is huge, can’t imagine the amount in a full order! Claire is the most lovely server.“

“Zakia has wonderful, healthy, tasty food a well sized menu. I go here for work with my co workers. The service is fast and friendly and the food is amazing.“

“I've scoured the twin cities for good, flavorful, and spicy indian food and this is the BEST place I've been to. The food is incredible, service is great and their patio is the coziest, especially at night when the lights are up. 100/10 recommend.“

“Great people, great food, great morals. Thank you!“

“Great service staff, incredible food, great mission. Highly recommend!!“

“My kids just treated me to a birthday dinner at Italian Eatery! It was a fantastic experience all the way around - food, service, and atmosphere. The entrees were delicious (we ordered a variety and shared!), and my dessert - the crostata al limone (a lemon tart) was out of this world! This was my first time at Italian Eatery. I’ll be back!“

“Great atmosphere! So many people having a great time. Ordered the Dragon's Milk Braised Beef Ribs with snap peas and mash. So good! So tender and flavorful! Gravy was chef's kiss!“

“They have great food with tons of vegan options and a wonderful patio! Today I ordered my favorite dish a roti wrap and it accidentally came with chicken instead of the vegan chickpea version. That’s never happened to me there before. They felt really bad about it and made me a new one and comped my meal and that of my friend. That is above and beyond an excellent customer service. I highly recommend.“

Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“A taste of Cuba here in Minneapolis. I’m so glad I found this place.“

“Fabulous vegan soul food. Cannot recommend more. The employees were kind. Ran out of peach cobbler so I cannot comment on it. The ribs were interesting, the slaw delicious, the yams were perfect, the collard greens were flavorful, Mac & cheese was good, the cornbread was the best, and the lemonade wasn't too sweet. Loved how they had signs posted regarding plant-based foods at tables only; Made me feel safe and welcome.“

“This was one of the 1st restaurants my husband and I discovered when we moved to the Twin Cities. The food is absolutely fabulous & the service is superb! One of the owners is always there to greet you with a warm and welcoming smile. This place is a true “GEM”!!!!“

“AMAZING SERVICE, WONDERFUL atmosphere, well priced, FANTASTIC FLAVORS, serving portions as expected for tapas. Two of us ordered about 8 dishes and shared gor dinner, we were stuffed - could have had only 6 but wanted to try so many bcuz they were so tempting by descriptions, and they met all expectations!! They accommodated our dietary restrictions without hassle. If we lived here, we'd be regulars!!“

“Excellent sushi & customer service! So delicious!“

“Super fried chicken sandwich. Great front of house service and great bartender. My wine also delicious. Easy to eat on your own here. Thanks!“

“I really enjoyed my meal here! They have many options but I was very happy with the Hispanic dish I tried. As a pescatarian who doesn’t have a lot of options, especially ones with protein, I was happy to have eggs and black beans in the same dish :) The decorations in the establishment were so unique and fun to look at. I’m leaving off a star because of the wait time. My group of 3 was given a pager to alert us when our table was ready. They had outdoor seating out front which was nice to sit and wait. Although, the pager buzzed after much more time than we were originally estimated. Also, receiving our food and the check took a long time. I understand that this is a popular, local brunch spot but I would’ve liked to have a longer estimated wait time than be disappointed when the estimated time came and went without the buzzer going off. If you have time to spare it is definitely worth a try. I hope this place continues to thrive as it already seems to be doing :)“

“Stopped in to get to go meal while at a conference at the hotel next door. Staff were welcoming and accommodating of my request, even let me have a water and tea while waiting. Food was excellent. I live in Saint Paul but will be making town hall a new place to stop with friends!“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“Such a great Korean food find in Minneapolis! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and comforting flavors. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for delicious Korean food in Minneapolis.“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“Delicious wood fire pizza. Perfect ratio of cheese, sauce (homemade!) and flavorful toppings. A thin but soft crust. Service was quick and everything was fresh andready as the text alerted indicated. It's a take out only somewhat rustic-hipster joint though there are some picnic benches outside. Would recommend!“

“Truly impeccable service and such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel so comfortable. The menu provides such vibrant dishes that carry you through a story that gives each bite with such flavor. I’ll definitely be back, I was happy to be introduced to this establishment by Jaelin, it is places like this that you absolutely need to try.“

“My favorite summer restaurant! Some favorites: fried oyster basket, fried fish, tacos, catfish po’boy“

“The bread is on fire, wakes up your bite excitement each time you get in to your food!! Meat is portioned real good, mad props for your turkey pastrami sandwich!!🤩“
