50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Minneapolis

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“Love this place. Kitchen is open late. Drinks are tasty. Food is excellent. Staff is so friendly. 😁“

“Fun! I got a shrimp roll, karage and Miraculum. Yum, yum, yum!“

“Terrific dinner at Gia Saturday evening! The carrot and beet starter was colorful and delicious, the salmon and scallop mains impeccable, but the highlight was the dessert of poached pears with a flavored crème anglais sauce for which we insisted on getting spoons to capture every drop. The service and ambience tied it all together.“

“Went here on the 4th of July for dinner,one word...AMAZING!!!“

“Amazing concept for dining!! We ate at in a community style at this restaurant which was different for us. We got seated at a table that was like a picnic table with strangers and it was fun. We met new people and tried some new food as well. It was perfect timing because the ladies we met were actually living in the unit above the restaurant and gave us some pointers on the menu.“

“So many memories, so many good meals“

“The meals are Chef Hand Crafted delights. Unique, Distinctive, Beautiful in Execution. Do Yourself a Favor and Enjoy the Alternative.“

“The food was spectacular, fairly cheap, it came out quickly, and the service was no nonsense. Would definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: Large well labeled vegan selection as well!

Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options that are well labeled“

“Visited the St Louis Park location, having been a fan of the original Excelsior location. Had the happy hour Margarita’s, Tacos (carnitas, steak & potato), and a spicy chicken salad. All were good, along with chips & queso. A good addition to that area.“

“The soup was exceptionally tasty. I would definitely return.“

“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.“

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

“Amazing, welcoming people with top-notch food. We have been going since opening day and have never been disappointed. Try the fish. 😀“

“Everything we had was great! Normally we enjoy steak but this was a great change that he and I both enjoyed! Friendly staff also at the bar!“

“I am sure many reviews begin this way, but it’s true here: I rarely write reviews. We visited the Rochester location on 5/18, and we were immediately pleasantly greeted. The entire menu looks so tasty, so I ended up ordering a Wedge Salad, the Five Cheese Macaroni & Cheese to split, and a 60/40 with Truffle Fries. I LOVE Wedge salads, but this one, this one was special - the most delicious wedge salad I’ve ever eaten. The addition of the dill was unexpected but soooo welcome. The macaroni portion, even as split, was so generous and very tasty. The truffle fries were very flavorful, and the burger - I am ashamed to say I can’t attest to it because my eyes were much larger than my stomach & I had to take it to go. The rest of the crew with me all agreed their food was also delicious. If we ever have the fortune to travel back to the area, we agreed we would all come back to Red Cow. Our service was also top notch, I wish I could remember our server’s name. She was very sweet!“

“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!“

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

“Amazing burgers and fries. Best in the Twin Cities. The Parmesan Truffle fries are my go to. This is the place I always bring my out of town friends and family. The service is always great, but expect a wait. They do not take reservations. Good things come to those who wait.“

“As usual, Lola does not disappoint. We were a party of 4 with a 7 PM reservation. We arrived grossly early (25 minutes) and could not be seated because the restaurant was so busy on a Monday evening! Service, as usual, was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent across the board. We especially liked the seasonal starter, caccio a pepe sweet corn. We had the Calabrian cauliflower, the kale salad and three pizza shared among 4 of us. We left with the inner smile, indicating food made with love and joy, that identifies a five star experience. Since Anna Kim has closed her other restaurants we hope that Lola will keep going. It keeps the standard for pizza in the Twin Cities high and delicious.“

“Food was amazing and staff were friendly and accommodating. Had the mushroom pizza and a salad with a coworker . Loved the casual atmosphere outdoors with some shade to sit—you can’t dine in essentially as all seating is outdoors which myself and coworkers appreciated .A nice lunch break from the typical work environment. Will definitely be going back again.“

“Cultivated skill of fine dining meets dive bar. Bull’s Horn is something in between. Reasonably priced for dishes created by a culinary chef who makes his very own house made bologna and cheeses. His subtle cooking techniques results in extraordinary taste and texture that the unrefined tastebud may miss. Great food coupled with great service drove my family to stop here twice during our weekend trip to Minneapolis. Here are our must tries: Cheese Curd: Lightly battered and geniusly paired with thousand island dressing which breaks up the acidity of the cheese and brings out the rich creamy cheese flavor. Bologna Sandwich: Not from your childhood! This homemade recipe marries a blend of spices that makes your tastebuds dance. Lightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside…assembled with homemade American cheese, a slice of crisp white onion on toasted white bread… the best I’ve had in my life! Chicken Gizzards: Technique, technique, technique. I can only wonder the effort and preparation on the front end that makes these gizzards so, so tender. Lightly battered and minimal frying time leave these gizzard with a “cut with a folk” and “melt in your mouth” texture that I have never experienced before.“

“Amazing atmosphere and the food was incredible. I had manciotti with the homemade meatballs and they were outstanding. Amazing food and service“

“😍In love with this cozy neighborhood spot“

“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!“

“This place is great! The food is delicious and the people are nice!

The only complaint is the parking lot size. There is barely enough room to maneuver. I hope there's some way to make it a bit bigger.

In the mean time, I suggest to anyone who wants to eat here to bring someone with you to help you park!“

“A must visit in the north loop! Great beer! Amazing people! The perfect place to visit before a twins game or any day really… Cory, thank you for the hospitality. I look forward to coming back soon!“

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

“Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. The Owner/Chef Joel has created something special at this gem nestled in a Minneapolis neighborhood. We had a large party for a friends pre-wedding dinner and the staff handled it great. From the apps to the desert, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick off the menu. We were all tasting each others food by the end of the night wanting to try EVERYTHING! Some have stated a smaller menu and prices, but then say the food blew them away…I for one like to pay to keep amazing food and ingredients an option. Can’t wait to bring my wife and other family members in the Twin Cities to do it again.“

“we have a great family dinner here, great service and great food!“

“Great service, friendly staff, fun environment ! Definitely recommend as a place to go to get a bite have a couple drinks and have fun playing pool and darts with friends and family :-)“

“THIS IS NO RUN-OF-THE-MILL, REGULAR-SHMEGULAR BAKERY!!! This bakery has the BEST pies and donuts you’ve ever tasted in your whole entire life. I know what you’re thinking, “How good can pie really be? Is it really THAT much better than a gas station donut?” Well, I promise you that the baked goods at this establishment are truly exceptional. In fact, we moved almost an hour away and still drive back to use this bakery for special occasions. I only wish their hours of operation were better (after work on weekdays and longer on weekends!) Try the strawberry rhubarb pie or crunch donut holes, but you really can’t go wrong here.“

“SO GOOD!!! the first time i ordered, i was HOOKED. the soup and sandwiches are DELICIOUS. and i cant seem to skip the banana pudding EVER. Im officially addicted to Sammy's.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, staff, music & cuisine! Highly recommended for a night out.“

“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!“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Locally owned Columbian cafe. The owner Luis is always around for quality control. Coffee is rich and tasty. Breakfast Americano is fabulous. Arepas y marmelada has delicious fruit compote �“

“After a long day at a work conference, my wife and I were looking for a memorable dinner experience—and Fhima’s delivered in every possible way. From the moment we walked in, we were transported to a different era. The 1920s Art Deco interior is absolutely stunning, with glowing chandeliers, velvet textures, and a bar that could easily be a movie set. It’s classy, cozy, and quietly buzzing with charm. We started with the sampler appetizer—an incredible way to warm up our palates with bold, layered flavors. My wife ordered the Chicken Tagine, which came beautifully presented and full of rich, comforting North African spices. I went with the Wagyu NY Strip, which was grilled to perfection and paired with saffron rice that was as fragrant as it was flavorful. The rosemary chimichurri on the side added a nice kick. For drinks, my wife had a well-balanced Cosmo, while I couldn’t resist their signature Call From Istanbul—a dramatic and smoky twist on the classic Old Fashioned, served with flair (and actual fire). What made the night even better was the attentive, personable service from Eli and Will. Their recommendations were spot on, and they made us feel welcome without ever being overbearing. Whether you’re a local or a visiting foodie, Fhima’s is an absolute must for date night or any occasion that deserves something special. We’ll be talking about this meal for a long time—and already planning our next visit.“

“Everything at this restaurant was delicious the guacamole was the best I’ve ever had there were four of us and each enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent look forward to coming back“

“Excellent food, great service🇺🇸“

“My wife and I have been to La Mesa a handful of times and have never been disappointed( including our second date, its a great date spot). La mesa is a hidden gem tucked away in the neighborhood with a great outdoor space in the summer. In my opinion, they have some of the best pizza in the city The corn pizza is my favorite and the weekly special last week was slow roasted pork and chimichurri sauce which was delicious. Great place, good service, and nice atmosphere and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun date night or something different than a bar and grill. I just recommend to a co worker and she really enjoyed it!“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

“Great tacos!! Delicioso! Will be back!!!“

“I wanted to take a moment to shout out an amazing restuarant located in minneapolis called Nolos Kitchen & Bar! As most of you know by now my girls and I had planned to fly out to california for my bachelorette party and winded up with a cancelled flight first thing in the morning at 4am thanks to microsoft. after we arrived to the airport and stood in line for 4 hours we were told that the next flight wasn’t available for another 24hours at 6 am the next day. We decided to go get breakfast while we figured out our next move and what we were supposed to do for the next 24 hours. We arrived to Nolos in pretty low spirits but that was quickly turned around when we met our waitress. Not only was the food PHENOMENAL, but they went as far as to make us my favorite cocktail (which wasn’t even on the menu!) As we sat and enjoyed our breakfast we talked about where we should go/what we should do/ and about how tired we were because we were only running on a couple of hours of sleep. We were at the point of even contemplating piling back into the car to take a nap when our sweetheart of a waitress approached us and informed us that they had a basement bar that didn’t open until 5 pm that night. She proceeded to tell us that since the basement bar didn’t open till later the owner offered us their full basement as a safe haven for the day for us to get some sleep/ hang out in until we were ready for our next move. The basement had a lounge room for all my girls to pile in and get a few hours of sleep as well as whenever we wanted a drink or snack we could go right up stairs and order as needed. AS WELL as it was fully stocked with arcade games and a photo booth to keep us occupied.Ontop of everything they even covered 50% of our food and drink tabs😭 Nolo’s genuinely saved us that day- and i could never be more thankful that we walked into that restaurant that morning. We were met with nothing but kindess and generosity. If you want to go somewhere with kind people , AMAZING food, fun cocktails , and overall an amazing atmosphere I would HIGHLY reccomend Nolos Kitchen & Bar in minneapolis. I promise you won’t be dissapointed ! Thank you NOLO's Kitchen staff for going above and beyond !!!!“
