50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Raleigh

“Great food and overall dining experience. The Mac & cheese to share is out of this world.“

“Best Moussaka in the area! But I noticed one of the waitresses has her very long hair down all the way to her waist. When she served food her hair was dangling in the way of serving. I was surprised that restaurant with very cleaned bathrooms would allow waitress to let loose her hair. Seems unsanitary.“

“Awesome!“

“Great meal, great service, great atmosphere!Highly recommend“

“The best chicken and waffles I've ever had.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“Despite coming in on a whim on a Saturday at 430, I was able to get seated quickly and the waiter appeared soon after.

The food was served quickly and while I had the chefs board, so nothing was cooked, the crostini was crisp and the baguette nicely warmed. I was getting a bourbon flight so I appreciated that there were 2 types of cheese, breads and meats along with spicy pickled vegetables, a kicking Dijon mustard and a sweet preserve. So all in all nice variety.

My waiter was attentive without being annoying, and despite sitting indoors it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. The patio looked nice too I just wanted a chair not a bench.

The whiskey/bourbon menu was extensive featuring American, Scottish, Irish and Japanese options. They also have a section, flight and Wednesday discount for NC distillers.

I definitely go back to try something else, both alcohol and food.“

“Amazing ambience and food great location loved it“

“Had my second visit today and its quickly become one of my favorite Raleigh spots. Do yourself a favor and check them out. I cannot wait to go through the menu and try all the combinations. So far I’ve had the Braised beef and steak. Excellent meals!“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“Only had two bread choices but that was my fault, I went at 1 pm. However everyone loved it so it made me look good.
ETA: Went again on a rainy Sunday. They had a lot of pastries & cookies, more than I remembered. I got a ham & cheese croissant for there & a piece of coffee cake to take home. Tasty food, great staff, & enjoyed sitting at the window as the storm passed by.“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“First time ordering here — wow!!! Had the purple 2oz shot, brussel sprouts and meatless chicken sandwich. Served hot, seasoned very well, and great customer service. They just got added to our favorites.“

“We went before a Hurricane’s game. Great to see all the ‘Canes fans. I also appreciated the discount parking for the game.“

“The atmosphere is great, and the food is both delicious and reasonably priced. One thing that really stood out was the attentive service. it's rare to find a restaurant in Raleigh with so many waitstaff. I also appreciated their sleek black uniforms, which added a nice touch to the overall vibe. The manager was incredibly friendly and made a point to walk to each table to check in with customers, ensuring everyone was satisfied.“

“This is my favorite stop when I’m in town. The owners and staff are amazing, the service is great, and the food even better! Having a one of a kind vegetarian menu this big is amazing. I just wish I was in town more often to try all the things! I was in for lunch a few days ago during a rush when they were short-staffed, and the owners stepped in to handle the surge. We had amazing service. Seriously the best all around.“

“I was running 30 mins late for my reservation, called in, no problem to postpone. The staff were amazing, so friendly and were very helpful with menu choices. The food was unbelievable! My only regret was that I couldn’t eat anymore! Just make a reservation well ahead of time to be seated at a table, otherwise sitting at the bar is the next option. We ordered the Risotto and the crab cakes! Both delicious and ended sharing a slice of cheesecake! 5 stars plus to this incredible vegan restaurant.“

“Food is outstanding! Service is wonderful. The owner was very friendly. Beautiful decor & great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning here.“

“I just devoured lunch from Eden's food truck located in theWalmart shopping center on Highway 42! The rice and beans were cooked perfectly and the potato salad was definitely homemade. It was absolutely delicious and I will be a repeat customer!“

“I recently had the pleasure to dine at Second Empire. The food was so delicious. I had the swordfish which was cooked to perfection and was enhanced by the sauces and sides. At the waiter’s suggestion, I ordered wine that was complimentary and wonderful. The waitstaff was professional, knowledgeable and fun. The setting was beautiful. I look forward to dining there again and highly recommend it!“

“Food here was amazing!! Service was really fast, and my avocado dosa was super good. My server Edwin was really nice and encouraged us to try new things, would definitely go back again!“

“Love coming back to this place for our corporate parties. Delicious food, great service, beautiful design and warm atmosphere.“

“We hadn't been to irregardless in years and now I wonder what took us so long. The food was wonderful, although the menu is small. the wait staff  was so solicitous and polite. We were very impressed. The food came out hot and on time ..well prepared. They had a jazz duo with a saxophone player. Just nice background music rather than being too loud. We will be back soon.“

“HIGH PRAISE for the entire staff at Seasons 52! From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted by an exceptionally friendly gentlemen behind the HOST desk. Andy. This set the tone for a stellar dining experience from our servers Nikki and a new server trainee...Ian. Our table of 4 was celebrating a 90th birthday and 2 of the 4 guests had never been to Seasons 52 and are sure to return. The kitchen delivered promptly and to our highest food satisfaction. Everything was DELIcious, beautifully presented and the temps of all of our meals as spot on. Our entire DINING experience was something so rarerly seen in even very high restaurants. THANK YOY SEASONS 52 for always remaining true to who you started out to be many years ago.“

“Great service! The filet mignon tacos were amazing!“

“Love coming to this small coffee shop! The drinks are always amazing and the staff is great!“

“My husband and I have been coming here for nearly a year for morning coffees & I’ve even remotely worked when my internet was out. When we found out we were expecting, we immediately knew we wanted to use our favorite spot for cupcakes & cookies for our baby shower.

The ordering process was SO easy, Arlen was communicative and thorough and made sure everything was perfect for our day.

Everyone raved about how incredible the cupcakes were and asked to take some home & the cookies were perfectly decorated.

We can’t wait for our little guy to be born and introduce him to our little coffee tradition. Highly highly recommend!“

“Phenomenal lunch and dinner—we went twice in one weekend, and will absolutely come back. So impressed with the simple, yet thoughtful dishes. Happy af. 10/10“

“Excellent service and food quality! We had cocktails and a light appetizer while waiting for a table. Then once seated, the two of us ordered: three small plates, one large plate, and a dessert all to share. The timing was perfect. Each item came out separately, with an appropriate pause in between. We were not rushed or overwhelmed. Staff was very attentive without ever being anywhere close to overbearing.“

“dropped in at the Cary, fenton nc location.Such great staff! Great drinks, atmosphere, and creative menu. we loved stopping by.“

“Arrived 15 minutes early and was told they wouldn't be able to seat us until our reservation time. Ok, no problem. They verified my phone number. We found 2 seats at the bar. Bartender, Brian, was great. Were at the bar past our time and never got paged. Decided to eat at bar. Brian made our experience exceptional! Food was great, service was excellent! They never paged us.“

“I made my own poke bowl with tuna, crab salad, assorted vegetables, and eel sauce—it turned out great! It was flavorful, high in protein, and surprisingly affordable for what I got. The only slight disappointment was the crab rangoons; they tasted and were textured mostly like cream cheese. Calamari also seemed a bit dry. Otherwise, I throughly enjoyed the poke bowl.“

“Grows excellent with all 4 of us . He was so pleasant and helpful.“

“Finally got around to trying PitaBowl.. And it awesome,I highly recommend it!“

“delish!!!!! so good! if i could i wound give it a ?“

“I am at Glenwood often and love the main dining area and the atmosphere. The food is great especially the salmon.“

“Food was delicious, drinks excelent. Service esa awesome. We'll definitely go back soon!“

“Amorino never disappoints! This time, I enjoyed the Espresso Macchiato while my fiancé indulged in a Classic Cup with Pistachio Mawardi Sublime, Organic Chocolate Sorbet, Coconut from Sri Lanka, and topped with Pistachio Sauce absolutely heavenly!

We’re regulars here, and the quality and flavors always bring us back. The new computers at the front have made the experience so much smoother and faster—great addition! That said, we missed being able to sample flavors as we usually do, which is always a highlight of the visit.

Amorino remains one of our favorite spots, and we can’t wait to return for another treat!“
