50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing experience late after a play on a Thursday night. The food was fantastic and our waitress (Lydia) was the best ever. We ordered what she recommended and it was scrumptious. The music was uplifting and reminded us of what it is to be alive. Thanks so much Lydia for a wonderful evening.“

“It has to be one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Raleigh.“

“I enjoyed my dinner it was delicious I also liked the train bringing our queso“

“I used to go to Gym Tacos very frequently. Their food is really delicious. The place is ok. Not a big fan of it but ok. I think that the Chorizo and Al Pastor may be the tasty ones you should not miss. Be careful with the Serrano pepper, it might be very very spicy. Sometimes you wouldn’t think it’s a Serrano pepper.“

“An NC State staple.

Founded by a former NC State football player in the 1960s, Amedeo's continues to serve up great Italian meals 60+ years later.

The atmosphere will make any Wolfpack fan feel right at home!“

“Made us something not on the menu and it was on the house! Waitstaff was very friendly :)“

“I love the first thing you see is black lives matter and the rainbow flag their support of equality means the world! 🌎
Limited menu but everything was really good our waiter was awesome very friendly very sweet. Prices were reasonable. We would definitely come back“

“The best restaurant in Raleigh for large group friendly. Food, drinks and service great!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing ambience and food great location loved it“

“Man, I had to revise this review. Love their crab cakes, but man, I just can't get enough of their NY Strip Steak. Perfect medium rare and that incredible char on the outside of the steak, yum. The Mac and cheese side might be the best I ever ate.
These folks make the BEST crab cakes in Raleigh. Prime rib is delicious.“

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

“Delicious Authentic food!“

“Had a delicious brunch today! The BLT burger & berry mimosa were AMAZEBALLS & our server handled some crazy stuff like a champ when we were all having to switch tables & move around. I HIGHLY recommend & still can't believe it's vegan! My son with ARFID would actually eat this food!“

“A year later and the question remains on where the server disappears to. Burger was good. Fries were over cooked. Happy they have zero proof cocktails but why do they cost more than real cocktails.

Burgers were good and the kids enjoyed the shakes. My cocktail was also good. The fried deviled eggs were different and delicious. The only thing bothersome were the flies. I counted at least 6 hovering. Our server also disappeared for a bit. Do they go on break when they have tables?“

“Miso Ramen bar is undeniably delicious, and my son considers it his favorite ramen spot. Situated conveniently near Downtown Raleigh, the restaurant offers ample parking. I recommend arriving a bit early as there may be a short wait (reservations are not accepted), but there is bar seating available. Upon arrival, you can add your name to the waitlist, which is a nice touch. The restaurant is consistently busy, yet always well-maintained with clean facilities. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and go the extra mile to ensure a welcoming experience. Whether dining with friends or adults, everyone can find something appetizing on the menu. Here is what we order on our most recent visit: Karage Wings $12 Pork Belly Buns (2) $9 Kids Miso Ramen with Chicken and Eggs Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl $12 The food was delicious overall, and I particularly enjoyed the wings and the pork belly bun. A tip to keep in mind: it's best to finish the wings while you're at the restaurant. If you have any leftovers and take them home, they don't reheat well.“

“Being lactose intolerant, it is hard to eat out. I was able to eat pancakes and a pumpkin muffin with plant-based butter and whip cream that days as good as milk-based. Service was excellent and live music with upbeat vibe. Consistently great and love their dinner menu too!“

“The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. If you have not tried First Watch please treat yourself soon😊“

“Accueil chaleureux, service exceptionnel de David, les plats étaient tous meilleurs les uns que les autres, nous avons adoré notre souper! Oeufs farcis, huîtres et Sancerre ont été des coups de coeur pour moi.“

“I really love this restaurant and the Italian food is outstanding. Very nice management and staff too with outstanding service.“

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

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner there this past weekend. Delicious food, good sized portions, excellent service! Thank you so much for making it a wonderful occasion.“

“Hibernian Irish Pub & Restaurant at 8021 Falls of Neuse Rd in Raleigh was a great first-time experience for us. While we're no strangers to the local Irish pub scene, this spot quickly became a favorite. From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm and welcoming. The staff was professional, friendly, and clearly loved what they do. Our servers, Rob and Jordan, were outstanding. Attentive, engaging, and full of personality. They made sure our experience was the best. The food is solid. The spicy chicken sandwich packed a nice kick, and the house pub burger with hearty steak fries hit the spot. We finished with the Guinness mousse, which was supreme. Their Super Bowl party on the horizon and what's sure to be an epic St. Patrick's Day celebration, we'll definitely be back to Hibernian. Great food, even better service. They nailed it.“

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

“This restaurant is truly exceptional and unforgettable. Though new, it stands out by using only natural, freshly sourced ingredients and being locally owned. The quality and freshness are evident in every bite, and the rich flavors make each dish memorable. I also enjoyed one of the best lamb mimosas I’ve ever had. The sauce was incredible. Not to mention, the food was evidently hand-crafted from scratch ingredients. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience.“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food good experience“

“First visit with the kids and it was amazing. The staff were all great and the food was beyond amazing 🤩. I will definitely be back and will bring more people with me.“

“Best barbecue we have ever had ! We will definitely be returning to here again. Everything was so tasty and flavorful ! The barbecue chicken was fall off the bone , the okra was fried to perfection, the potato salad was delicious too and the pulled pork was awesome with their house made sauces!Our waitress was soo nice too, was so welcoming and we really appreciated it because our family has been going through a tough time. It warmed all of our hearts and bellies. Thank you for the great barbecue experience!“

“Great family breakfast spot. Can’t eat enough bacon. Thanks Lathaniel for being a wonderful server!“

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

“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.“

“My husband and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at The Capital Grille, and as always, it was a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. We both started off with salads. I had the mixed greens, and he enjoyed one with greens, pears, and walnuts. Both were fresh and flavorful. For our main course, I ordered the filet mignon with lobster mac and cheese (highly recommend!), while my husband had the filet mignon topped with mushrooms and onions, perfectly cooked and tender. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée, which was heavenly. The staff also surprised us with an anniversary dessert that included what tasted like an espresso pudding and a slice of cheesecake it was such a thoughtful touch! Overall, The Capital Grille never disappoints. Excellent service, amazing food, and the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion.“

“The food at First Watch is always delicious and Justin is an excellent server!“

“You know it’s going to be good when the table comes stocked with molasses which pairs so well with the buttermilk biscuits. The little girls’ favorite was the garden fresh corn on the cob. The only thing better than the food is the service! Thank y’all for making us feel at home.“

“We recently held our wedding rehearsal luncheon at Trali and could not have been happier with the entire experience. They gave us a lovely private room, and the servers were very friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding! We had the corned beef and cabbage, shepherds pie, grilled chicken, rice pilaf, mac n cheese. Everyone was very pleased with their meal, topped off with wonderful sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake. Coordinating with Allison long distance was no problem at all and she was very helpful every step of the way. We appreciate Trali for giving our family an absolute perfect luncheon for our family wedding!“

“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.“

“Amazing dining experience all around! On a Friday evening they told us 20 minute wait but seated us in 10. Delicious food, wonderful service, fun atmosphere, clean bathrooms. 10/10. We’ll be back here a lot!“

“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.“

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

“good food. sat outside, nice atmosphere“
