50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in St. Louis

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants for lunch or pizza take-out. My top picks: little gem salad, toscano or trout sandwich, blueberry lemon soda, and soft pretzel with butter. For dinner, their pepperoni and spinach pizzas are my faves. Their chocolate chip cookies are also amazing!“

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!“

“Michael was our server and did meet our expectations.“

“I’m 78, travelled the world and these are the very best noodles and noodle dishes I have ever had. I doubt I will ever eat ramin or udon ever again. This is not a fancy sit down restaurant, it’s a Japanese noodle restaurant or social bar. The young lady receptionist/waitress was very welcoming and helpful. The cooks are hard working and friendly. The selection is somewhat limited but just the kind of meals you will want to try again and again. 一番 Ichiban. (# 1)“

“Food was excellent, service was great! Our bartender was awesome!“

“Chicken sausage was special. Cheesy grits were spot on and great with eggs over easy. Buenos ranchers were tasty but much closer to a slinger (eggs and chli), tasty nonetheless. Service was awesome. Sat at the bar as they were fully booked at 8.15 am on a Sunday. Very warm environs. Will be back.“

“Has gluten free options, healthy fresh food and drink options. Love the staff and ambiance. I Always shop for plants or gifts in their gift shop after eating.“

“Great food and fantastic cocktails. The BLT with a fried egg add goat cheese DELICIOUS“

“Best soda ever ! Wish I could get it here in NJ“

“Any adjective to describe their ribs is an understatement!!!“

“just got back from our tour! such great fun! we loved the tour. We look forward to coming back on a Friday night for some fun and drinks! We loved our tasting!“

“Very good food. Great, friendly service. Good amout of options. Felt like homemade vs restaurant food and the ice cream is delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“AMAZING food and incredible service. Jeff, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. He took his time walking us through the menu and answering all of our questions. The sushi here is next level and unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. My wife and I cannot stop talking about our experience here!“

“The food is phenomenal!!!!“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“I finally made it and really it’s worth 100 stars , The chicken salad is probably the best salad in Stl , everything about it is perfect , chicken soo good , lettuce chopped with tons of parsley, all ingredients top notch and the dressing is excellent. I had the spinach pie for dinner and it is heaven . I’ve already planned on nesting 2 sets of ppl there! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great homemade food. Staff are wonderful. Great place to go.“

“We were visiting family in St Louis and stopped in twice during a 24-hour period. We loved it that much. We had the jackfruit tuna wrap, kale salad, garlic fries, cinnamon roll, banana pudding cupcake, focaccia, and lattes. All so yummy. Great service; so friendly. Relaxed atmosphere in a cool building.

“Had a wonderful lunch here. Never had Persian food. I ordered the Aash stew, lamb biryani, and chai.The stew was wonderful and refreshing. The lamb shank w biryani was fall of the bone. Such magical flavors in the lamb. The chai was such a great addition. Its fresh made not instant. Service was exceptional by the owner and he was so thankful to my compliments. For those whom do not know about Persia, it is a culture in Iran. Do yourself a favor and give the small business a try.“

“Wonderful performance!!! Great food and awesome cast!“

“They care about the community just as much as they do about coming up with new creative and tasty food. An all around good place. Unless you don't like scary movies and gothic decor then get your order to go and you'll still love them.“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“Absolutely delicious. Hands down one of the better BBQ joints in the St. Louis area. Apple butter ribs were a major hit at work. 10/10 will go here again“

“I have been wanting to get here for several years, and we finally made it, tonight, to Anthonino's Taverna, a short distance from Rob's place. (Fun fact, this place has been spotlighted twice on Guy Fieri's Food Channel Show. I can now see why. 🥰) Well, I wish I had made it here sooner. But, that's behind us, and tonight was a delicious, and delightful night. Our waitress, Bailee, had the excellent insight to know it takes awhile to decide on a drink, and dinner choices. It doesn't matter if you read the menu online or not. Changes are always added. She gave us the grace to settle in for a few minutes. She gave us enough time to settle in so we could make our choices. Rob had a Kona Wave draft, and I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Bailee brought us bread made, and baked on The Hill with great quality olive oil, and herbs for dipping. Rob ordered the lasagna, and I opted for the Tutti de Mare with seafood, garlic, butter, and olive oil. My dinner was delicious, and made with freshly made pasta, and a perfect mix of perfectly cooked wild caught seafood of mussels,shrimp, clams, and squid. Rob's lasagna also featured freshly made pasta sheets, Anthonino's red sauce, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. I tasted it, and it's your pick here if you love lasagna. Homemade taste that brought me back to my grandmother's and my mother's tables. 🥰❤️ I also felt welcomed, and comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. Italian girl here, and I would highly recommend this place for the food, drinks, the customer service, and the ambiance. I am already planning to come back on my next trip here. Anthonino's Taverna“

“First time at Failoni’s yesterday. Had pasta and marinara (I know, not very daring). The marinara can stand on its own. Wonderful. Loved the ambiance, neighborhood vibe. We were made to feel welcome right away. Was with two friends and we will be back!!“

“Their spicy pork is so tender and flavorful you'll never forget it! All the sides are super fresh and the service is warm and friendly.“

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.“

“Highly recommend for any catered event. Food & service were excellent.“

“We had a very fun time playing Tuesday night trivia with our three kids. Great bites, good beers, excellent service & friendly atmosphere. 10/10 recommended!“

“Great beer and friendly service“

“Phenomenal Food and Amazing Service“

“Literally the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever had!! Cute diner, with super sweet and personable staff. Highly recommend!!“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“Jake the owner has honestly the best beers in town and he'll make it a point to come talk to each and every person who comes in the Civil Life man I love this place and it has a old British atmosphere.Not enough kind words to say about this place.“

“I really loved this place! The service was very kind and helpful. Everything came quickly. We ordered spring rolls which were very fresh and light. I got a fried crepe which was crispy and filled with shrimps and pork. The atmosphere was great, the server was checking on us a lot and made sure we feel good. Would come back!“

“We had a party of 6 on Saturday night. Great service. Outstanding food had by everyone. A few in the party ordered the Lasagna after they were out of Ossobuco. They loved the Lasagna, the Chicken Risotto was one of the best I ever had, although I modified it by adding mushrooms. We did start out with appetizers and the Roasted Wild Mushroom app and Toasted Ravoli were incredible. Highly recommend this place.“

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.“

“Top-notch service! They were able to accommodate us on a busy Saturday night, and the food was prepared perfectly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great Italian spot in South County.“

“Fantastic food and service. I love their margaritas, chips and salsa are also yummy. My favorite spot here in STL after moving here from Californa.“

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.“

“Great burgers! I LOVED my TriPPPy burger which has a pineapple chutney and bacon jam. You will want extra napkins with that one.? My husband built his own burger to get just what he wanted and enjoyed his burger. They also have veggie options, but these carnivores did not explore them.“

“I visited for a quick dinner and was glad I made a reservation because the host initially acted like it was packed. Once I mentioned my reservation, his tone changed, and we were seated. The restaurant wasn’t even that busy. We ordered garlic cream shrimp pasta, a salami sandwich, and catfish nuggets. The food was tasty, especially the pasta with a nice kick. I’m looking forward to returning to try more menu items. Until next time!“

“Food is great and served in reasonable time. The waitress could be more attentive to patrons seeing that the tip is added to the bill and paid before even receiving food. I asked for something and she forgot and brought it to the table 15 minutes later after I was almost done with meal. Had to ask for water, waitress only filled up my husband’s glass not mine and both were pretty much empty and I wasn’t even asked if I wanted more water. Hopefully this is read and improved on my return visit. It least it shows me how to tip next time 😏“

“After visiting the Fox Theater on Saturday we had reservations for 6. Our table was ready and our server Wendy was absolutely delightful. Our drinks, appetizers, dinner(fresh pasta) and desserts did not disappoint. The manager stopped by twice to check on us. Incredible! We wanted to bring Wendy home with us but we had to have her back by Wednesday! We can’t wait to return!!!! 10🌟“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere, & great vibes!!!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to say that The Energy Hub is an great juice bar with phenomenal energy. The service is their greatest aspect; the guy behind the counter was extremely nice, warm, and welcoming.

The smoothie was really good and felt like I was doing something good for my body. You can customize the smoothie however you want with no up charge for however many different fruits you want in it.

Highly recommend stopping by at least once. You’ll be surprised how The Energy Hub lives up to its name by recharging you and leaving you feeling just a little bit lighter and brighter.“

“An amazing, authentic spot to experience Thai cuisine!

Everything was on point here - the food, service, atmosphere, and even the music. Every part of the experience deserves its own shoutout!

My husband and I ordered two Tom Yum soups with tofu, steamed dumplings, drunken noodles with beef, and the mango sticky rice with coconut syrup for dessert.

First of all, even if you LOVE spicy food (and my husband and I eat spicy food all the time), do NOT take a chance and order the spicy level! We got medium, and we were literally crying. 😂 Even for us, it was way too spicy. If you don’t normally eat spicy food, I would honestly be careful even with mild.

That being said, the dishes were incredibly flavorful. This isn’t the kind of spicy food where all you can taste is heat. The flavors were rich, complex, and the portions were filling.

The portion sizes were actually perfect for trying several different dishes without completely stuffing yourself, which happens so often at American restaurants. You come here for the atmosphere and the flavors, not giant portions.

And you absolutely HAVE to try the dessert! The mango sticky rice was so soft and delicious, with sweet coconut syrup and pieces of coconut. One bite and I felt like I was back in Asia. ❤

There was calm, relaxing music playing in the background, and our server checked on us when needed without being overly attentive or constantly interrupting us. Exactly the kind of service I appreciate.

The only tricky part is parking. There isn’t really parking right next to the restaurant, so we parked at a nearby hotel and walked over.

Overall, I absolutely recommend this place if you want authentic Thai food and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Favazza’s is a well-known and respected Italian spot on “The Hill”, St. Louis’ Italian Neighborhood filled with old delis, charming markets and upscale Italian restaurants. Our extended family is a big fan of Favazza’s, so we go from time to time with them. We went last week with my Aunt & Uncle, and it was great. The dining room(s) are charming, but getting a bit dated, in all honesty. Since it’s on “The Hill”, it’s not necessarily an issue, but in any other neighborhood, I think others would agree with me that it needs some sprucing up. Regardless, the ambiance has a fancy and classy feel to it. The service we had was fine. Everyone is dressed up and respectful, but sometimes the service lacks personality at these places because they’re so worried about being “ritzy”. This is the case we had last week. Regardless, also a fine experience in this category. The food was DELICIOUS last week. We started with the Toasted Ravioli. You can tell it’s the real-deal — the filling is excellent. Our entrees were also phenomenal. I got the Chicken Limone and it was tangy and luscious. Genuinely one of the best Italian dishes I’ve had before. The dinner salads, side pasta and phenomenal garlic bread were an added bonus. Favazza’s may be older and their service may lack personality, but their food is nothing to scoff at. A very solid 4 Stars from me.“

“I want to extend my deep gratitude to the great Hostess last Saturday afternoon who kindly went above and beyond her responsibilities not only as a host but as a human being by letting me (offering!) charge my lon foot and had a dead phone. It was about 4 pm and the place was slightly busy (almost outside full and inside) but not much else was around the area so my hunch and restaurant experience tells me they’re doing everything right: good food, good prices and good staff. The atmosphere is inviting, unpretentious and sort of a homey, cozy n stylish flair. I would’ve rather stayed and ate but thankfully the hostess helped me on my way. thank you for helping and not being annoyed when I asked for directions twice! (Also,“
