50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Weaverville

“We live just north of the village and come here often. Love Yellow Mug! Order at the counter, find a table indoors or out, they will find you when your food is ready. Terrific fresh-ground coffee, creative breakfasts, sandwiches, salads (I love The One with Quinoa and Butternut Squash—yes, that is its name). Very fresh food, veg/vegan and GF options, beer and wine, excellent wifi….one of our favorite places!!!“

“Today for lunch they had a salmon over pasta noodles special which was one of the best Salmon dishes I have ever had…If anyone from management reads this, please put this dish on the regular menu. Fantastic!!“

“awesome place! great food ! good service! go and be happy! :)“

“Great food, service, & beer selection! The fried pepperoni & cheese curds were delicious. My wife liked the firecracker shrimp Alfredo, but said it had some spice. The Greek platter was amazing as well. I got the combination to try both the lamb & chicken. The chicken tasted like souvlaki & was good, but I favored the lamb. I typically would order an old fashioned, but they did not have large blocks of ice. Given what Helene’s impact on western NC, I was happy to see this restaurant thriving & folks in good spirit. This place is a gem for the community, and I highly recommend.“

“Excellent! Off the beaten path in a small (the best kind) beautiful WNC mountain town. It is out of the way for us so we can't get there as often as we would like.
The most enjoyable way to get there for us is via the Blue Ridge Parkway.
We enjoyed the one in Biltmore for years. Sadly, it is no longer there.
Thank you, Well-Bred Bakery & Cafe.

“Food was absolutely delicious. Cheese plate a vegan cheese lovers dream. Amazing service by Vic! She paid close mind to the nut allergy at our table and was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend for vegans and non vegans alike! Save room for dessert!!!“

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

“Amazing food! Good folks too, the heart of Asheville.“

“I recently tried Suwana for the first time and I want to say that I was really impressed! I’m not a huge sushi guy but I’m turning into one because of this place! The Maggie Valley Roll is 🔥!!! The crab rangoons are amazing too! I look forward to eating here in the future. Waynesville is lucky to have this 💎!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place 10/10 for sure“

“Been a customer in 2007 and still in Love with the place.“

“10/10 My 1st time but won’t be my last!“

“On Saturday, February 14th, I went downtown for a solo dinner at Huli Sue’s and quickly realized I had completely forgotten Billy Strings was in town for the weekend. Between Valentine’s Day and a sold-out show within walking distance, downtown was absolute chaos. Walking into Huli Sue’s, though, felt like stepping into a well-oiled machine. The hostess (I truly wish I had gotten her name) greeted everyone calmly and kept the flow of guests organized and welcoming. They were operating on a reservation system for the evening honestly genius given the circumstances. Even as a party of one, the wait was about an hour and a half, which I completely understood. Knowing I was craving their food, she suggested takeout. She even let me sit at the table where they roll silverware so I could look over the menu and wait for my roommate to text their order and never once made me feel rushed. While I waited, I watched her run the entrance like an absolute goddess. She was pleasant, efficient, and incredibly organized. Every table being notified was already set, down to water poured and ready. When guests arrived, she greeted them with genuine enthusiasm and walked them to their tables like they were honored guests. Downtown was a madhouse. People kept walking in without reservations, and she calmly explained the wait. When guests were understandably discouraged, she let them know they were accepting reservations for the 15th and I honestly didn’t hear a single person turn her down. She made everyone feel welcome. Despite the cold and the madness outside, the restaurant remained calm and peaceful inside. Even at full capacity, the volume stayed comfortable. The kitchen ran like an orchestra no yelling, no chaos, no stressed staff just teamwork and smiles. I wanted to take a moment to praise Huli Sue’s, their staff, and their phenomenal hostess. They handled what could have been an overwhelming night with grace and efficiency. They already had my business —but after that experience, I’ll make it a point to go even more often.“

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. I had the best shrimp and grits ever and I'm 73. Every meal the fried oysters, salads, Reuben Sandwich there is no negative experience. I hesitated to order the banana pudding but was intrigued by the description. So glad I did, it was so different than what I've ever had but the BEST I've ever had. Thank you to everyone working that day on 1/22 that wished us Happy Birthdays and made this such a wonderful memory for all 4 of us. Very welcoming, great personalities but above all GREAT FOOD.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.“

“WOW! Very good food and service. We will be back to try other dishes from their menu.“

“A large group of us went and shared a bunch of plates, every single item on the menu was incredibly flavorful. It was hard for us to make up our minds on what was our favorite. Also, lots of good options for vegetarians. The atmosphere is beautiful and fun as well. I wish we had one in Greenville, but we will be back when we’re in Asheville!“

“My friends and I ate here during our visit to Asheville in August 2024 and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to go back“

“Yum! Great pizza! Wonderful, friendly staff.“

“Cool little place! Split one of the vanilla sandwiches because it was so big! The ice cream was great and the cookies were soft and delicious! Friendly staff as well. Will be back from TN!“

“Absolutely one of the best brisket we ever have! I’m so glad we had the opportunity to visit this place. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, smoky, and full of flavor. You can tell they put real care and passion into their barbecue. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything tasted homemade and authentic. If you’re anywhere near Asheville, you have to try their brisket ! #AshevilleEats #BBQLovers #BrisketPerfection“

“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“

“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!“

“Amazing place❤️ smells like use to be cafes in Poland. Tried Eclair very good and macarons with cappucino melting in mouth. Yumm yumm yumm...❤️❤️“

“We highly recommend Posana for celebrating special occasions. We were there for our 27th wedding anniversary and they gave us many nice touches -- glasses of champagne, a signed card from the staff, a small starter and small dessert -- that made the dining feel even more special. Our server was wonderful and all the staff were kind and attentive. Scrumptious food and gorgeous presentation.“

“My wife and I happened upon this magical gem tonight. We had spent the day in Asheville and were actually looking for a Mexican restaurant. My wife saw this and said that we hadn't had BBQ in a good while. So, we changed our plans. We walked in and noticed the awards on the walls and the Pride shirt. Every minute inside was amazing! The front of the house staff were all so friendly. The food was absolutely wonderful! When one of the ladies that works the dining room came to the table, she was warm, sweet, and spunky! We cannot thank you enough for such an amazing experience! We will definitely be returning and bringing our kids next time! 🤟🏻❤️ Thank you Punky Brewster! 😉“

“Was so happy we stopped in this time cause we couldn't get in 2020. Service top in class and Jordan was amazing behind the bar. We decided to do the trick tower seafood tower and well worth the money despite other reviews on it. Never thought I would go the the mans and order seafood but it was like we were on the coast. We can not wait to go back and enjoy more of the menu. Great atmosphere and like I said staff was amazing. 🥰“
