50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Candler

“What in the world???! I had driven by Whisk AVL for years and man am I kicking myself now. You can’t see the baked goods (I couldn’t from the car) but the prices were reasonable/on par with other bakeries.. Yall!! She’s tricking us! Charging us normal cinnamon roll prices and somehow the rolls themselves are bigger than your head! Worth it, stop by, you’ll be happy you did!“

“This food is soooo good, hits the spot every time. They have indulgent soul foods to delicious healthy options, pick your adventure! And definitely pick a homemade sauce, the ranch changed my life.“

“Wow! This place has outstandingly delicious food. I tried it for the first today. The mac&cheese pie was very chessey with just a bit of golden brown crust, sinfully good. The collard greens were great,with just hint of tangy warmth. The pulled pork is by far some of the best I have ever tasted anywhere not just Asheville area. Good service. Friendly people.“

“Absolutely incredible vegan food! Plant is a more upscale vegan restaurant, and it delivers on every level. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the food is amazing. The cheese platter is a must-try, so flavorful and beautifully presented. I also loved the ravioli; it was rich, creative, and perfectly done. Whether you’re vegan or not, this place is absolutely worth a visit!“

“Delicious veg food (including sweets), great helpful staff and cool stickers. Highly recommended!!!“

“This is one of our favorite spots in Asheville! We highly recommend and they also have an awesome market where you can purchase a yummy Curate Salsa de Aperitivo, spices that you can use to cook with at home, ham sandwiches to go, and so much other delicious flavors from Spain. You guys are awesome! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I got the Mac burger with bacon, tots on the side, & a vanilla milkshake! Everything was absolutely delicious! The proportions were perfect. The milkshake was thick, sweet but not too sweet, & had rainbow sprinkles!! The only thing I'd ask is to maybe put more bacon on the burger!! I will be back for sure!“

“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!“

“An asset to our community for two decades and still going.“

“Had a wonderful experience at Chai Pani. I had the Buffett and the food was all so flavorful. Would recommend!“

“Every single interaction we had at Limones was sincere, intentional, and well executed. We were greeted and given a place to wait in the lobby with an herbal seltzer. Our server Jamie was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and gave eloquent, robust descriptions of the food as well as his recommendations we requested. We shared the lardo pizza - you should too. This is cellophane thin pork fat rendered just so to melt into incredible cheese and oven fired crust. I would go back for more this second. Every part of our meal exuded that impeccable attention to detail. A ravioli type pasta with ham cornbread and peas was the perfect Appalachian/Italian pairing. The tiramisu was thick, custardy, eggy in the lightest but creamiest way. The pistachio gelato with pistachio syrup was incredible. My only wish would’ve been to try one more dessert but we did make a 9:30 reservation so you roll the dice. That panna cotta sounded wonderful. I could not imagine anyone being less than thoroughly impressed with Limones. My husband was a chef for 20+ years and felt every aspect of a great meal was part of our meal there. 10/10 Limones.“

“Fantastic meal last night at Jargon! The ginger carrot 🥕 soup was incredible. We paired it with Asparagus and risotto. The strawberry dessert was amazing and the after dinner drinks with espresso beans were perfection.“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“

“my friends and I visited Monday after the herb festival and had the best food of our whole trip at Chestnut! they had the Eggs Benedict and I chose the burger gluten free. all our meals were amazing and the care our waitress put into asking about my gluten issues was so appreciated! I do believe it was the best gluten free burger fries and cheese tots I have eaten ever! Thank you so much for taking the time and going the extra mile for those of us with Celiac. Crystal ( I hope that's right, my mind is old lol)was truly awesome and everyone needs to experience this place and her! 500 stars!!“

“There were four of us - two locals, two from NYC - and we all enjoyed the experience. Great service from Tenille, who took excellent care of us by being personable, knowledgeable, helping with various selections, and was gracious and funny to boot. The food - chopped salads for all, then chicken, pork chop, short ribs and trout - all excellently prepared. For dessert we shared a decadent lavender-chocolate artful creation that was delicious. Cocktails, wines, coffee all fantastic. A terrific outing.“

“The Beer Geek tour was very informative and a great value. If you have 3 hours and want to get a behind the scene experience of the beer making process every step of the way from water and grains and ending with finished product in packaging, this is the tour for you. The tour guide Mary did a great job explaining the process and answering questions. Additionally, all the employees we encoutered along the way were very friendly and showed great pride in their company and the immaculate Mills River facility!“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“We have lived in Asheville for about 15 years and have been eating Suzy’s food since there was only a food truck. It’s nourishing, delicious, and always filling, not to mention very fairly priced! The ownership and staff are amazing and have always been welcoming to myself and all of my diverse groups of friends and family. We love Gypsy Queen!“

“Five Points is on point! Bathrooms were nice and clean, staff was polite and attentive, & the food was really tasty, with generous portions! I highly recommend if you’re in the Montfort area of Asheville that you bring your appetite and enjoy a meal here. Will definitely be back for more! 🍽️ 😋“

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.“

“Luella’s pulled pork is absolutely delicious! It’s hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. Super tender and full of flavor. A definite go-to if you’re craving top-notch barbecue. Highly recommend!“

“We’ve passed by so many times and always see a bunch of cars. We finally stopped in last night and we are so glad we did. Drinks were great, our server was fantastic. I think her name was Gretta. She gave us food suggestions and was very attentive. Food was great. Hubby had the Sea Bass special and I had the pork belly and scallops. Both delicious. The baklava pie was out of this world. I think we will be stopping by again while we are visiting. Highly recommended. Lots of people waiting for a table and take out. We loved the vibe and decor.“

“Icecream truck came through my neighborhood. First time trying and will definitely buy again. The Mint Choc Chip Icecream Cookie was the best I have tried.“

“The food is incredible and the service is absolutely amazing! One of our favorite places in Asheville!“

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“The flavor is absolutely perfect—well balanced, with just the right mix of savory, sweet, and a little kick. The noodles are cooked just right, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. This is hands-down the best pad Thai in Asheville. I keep coming back for it!“

“Our choices for Asian cuisine in WNC are very limited. Fortunately, P.F. Changs is only 25 minutes away, with an interesting menu that (tonight) was fresh and delicious. Crab Wonton is our go-to appetizer, but we also enjoyed the BBQ spare ribs. Kung Pao chicken and pepper steak were our entrees. They also had a delicious and smoky Asian Old Fashioned cocktail, which we recommend.“

“Thank you for opening in our area. Best made subs in a 50 mile radius. Great staff. I tell all my friends about this place. Thank you“

“Amazing! Yummy and delicious food ❤️“

“Great breakfast, friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Biscuits were amazing and the sausage gravy to die for!“

“Underrated for sure. Great food, great atmosphere. Prices were average. My only complaint was driving around quite a long time to find parking!! Most of the lots surrounding where four those who work in the area. Finally found a parking garage and walked about eight minutes.“

“Some of the most high quality, authentic and creative Thai food I have had in the states. The menu changes every two weeks and the number of different dishes I have been able to have in the last year (most that I rarely find at other Thai restaurants) is incredible. They serve a wide variety of types of meat and veggies for keeping a small rotating menu. And I'm serious about the veggies. Locally grown stir fried bamboo! The freshest papaya and pomelo salads! Nam prik egglant dip!! Kabocha squash! They make their own curry paste and the quality of their curries is really impressive. They always have plant based and gluten free options on each menu, and even make their own vegan version of pork belly that is crazy close to the real thing.

Chefs Maddy and Trevor are kind, knowledgeable and truly want to do right by Thai food and culture, as well as by their customers. They get the freshest ingredients from local farms and Asian grocers. They try as often as they can to accommodate additional dietary restrictions. They do a great job bringing authentic Thai dishes to our WNC community in a way that expands horizons and elevates our Asheville food scene.“

“The fam visited Bargello on Father’s Day. This was our first time and they ultimately exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Our hostess, Elsa was gracious in welcoming us in. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. Our server, IMade was very professional and attentive. Kyle, the manager made great wine pairing suggestions which made our dining experience even more enhanced. Fantastic team! The pasta dishes were so delicious and the tenderloin was cooked to perfection! Thumbs up to Chef Damian. We look forward to dining at Bargello again. Thank you!“

“We spent the week in Asheville...Izzy’s was the best coffee we had by far. Thanks“

“Restarted, it with crab stuffed mushrooms and spinach, crab meat oysters. They were delicious then we ended it with two lobsters, potatoes and corn and also a salad. Everything was delicious and our waitress was so kind. She even cracked our lobster and took all the meat out of it for us..“

“Excellent service. I strongly recommend Mr Ralph Carico to those who wants to trade and invest in forex/crypto. He made over $3,400 with my little capital $500 While managing my account in less than 7 days. I couldn’t have asked for more! Contact him Ralph Carico“

“We are from out of town and love to try the local favorites. The food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was unique and the service was friendly.“

“This place is the real deal. I came back a second time and we tried the spring rolls — honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had. We also shared the General Tso’s chicken, spicy beef ramen, and fried rice — everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. On my first visit, I ordered the GSW Rice Bowl and loaded it up with Korean BBQ pork, sweet soy, mayo, chili oil, peanuts, roasted eggplant, kimchi, pickled broccoli stems, carrot daikon serrano pickles, and bread and butter pickles. It was so good I knew I’d be returning soon.“

“Visited this weekend, post Helene. Service and food were awesome, as always. The quartet was great to hear again and owner Annibell made it so very special. Visiting? Check these peeps out; you will be glad you did!“
