50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Wilmington

“Perfect 😍 this is my go to place and the place I bring carnists when I want to share a meal :)“

“For a special occasion last week, we travelled from Durham to Wilmington try this restaurant. We were NOT disappointed and it was so worth the trip! The dishes were all plant-based absolutely delicious. Even if you are normally a carnivore, you will not miss having meat. The restaurant space itself is beautiful and very tasteful and relaxing. All the staff were super friendly and hospitable. Felt like I was saying good-bye to friends when we left. Looking forward to my next trip to Wilmington!“

“This evening we were excited to bring friends who had never been to Seabird, and it was my wife’s birthday! The food did not disappoint. Our friends loved it. It was good to see a restaurant with a sense of humor when they brought out a “no calorie” birthday cake! (A lit candle stuck to a dessert plate)“

“The food was spectacular last night. The Hoss is one of the best sandwiches I have ever ate.“

“Cute place that feels like more of a restaurant that serves beer/kombucha rather than just being brewing focused. Good news is the food is excellent, my fried green tomato BLT was A+. More kombucha than beer options, I wouldn't stop if your sole interest is beer. Cool decor, good vibes, service was friendly. Would stop again for lunch rather than just a drink.“

“Maybe the best lunch I’ve ever experienced. The flavors of the BLT Arepas Tapas were really unforgettable. I’ll be back with guest!“

“Have had many items from their menu, from pizza mainstays to specials and every item is amazing! Always great service and food. If you’re upset about having to wait, maybe there’s a reason so many people are there… 🤤“

“Circa 1922 is absolutely the best restaurant we have found in the Wilmington area. We have been going there for the past 11 years! You could not ask for better service, better food, or a better atmosphere.“

“Amazing Family business!! Every time I visit I have a great experience! Staff is always friendly and welcoming when you walk through the door. Today I got my breakfast togo. I got to work downtown and my food was still hot & delicious! I highly recommend Our Crepes & More!!!“

“I love WBB! My family and I come every time we visit the area. Kellie is the best 😀“

“we had the pleasure of eating at Junction 421 this evening for a pre-Valentines dinner date I had the steak with mashed potatoes, asparagus, spears, and crab meat and topped with a delicious Bernese sauce . Michael had shrimp and grits and we had a nice, romantic dinner. Evan was our server and he treated us like we were VIPs. Highly recommend this restaurant is so close to our home.“

“Stopped there for brunch today. It was incredible! I had the Mediterranean Scramble.“

“First off, if you are staying in one of the hotels near Chicken Salad Chick, for god’s sake, do not trust Google Maps to get you there. It was a completely miserable failure.

Now, on to the restaurant itself. Delicious. I got the classic chicken salad on croissant with bacon. I felt like the bread overpowered the chicken salad, and the classic chicken salad is amazing. For my side, I had a scoop of the southern chicken salad; I liked the classic better. The sweet pickles tasted too store bought.

My husband had the turkey club on toasted white bread. It was exceptional. And huge! He had a scoop of the apple-pecan chicken salad. He couldn’t tell it had anything other than the classic. I got a mild pecan flavor and would be willing to give it another try.

The white chocolate cake was screaming at me when I walked in, so I tried a piece. It was goodish, but not really worth seven bucks.

Customer service was great.“

“We stopped here twice in one day because it was that good. The banana ball was so good and my daughter LOVED their beignets. Their frappe was the best she has ever had. The dirty hippie was my favorite drink. We had to grab one of their donuts as literally just staring at them is mouth watering. The staff is so friendly and welcoming we love the vibe of the entire place. This place is a must if you are in Wilmington and it's vegan friendly. Hands down best customer service and coffee“

“Casa Blanca is such a cute coffee shop. There is SO much seating, which makes it a great place to get some work done. There are indoor and outdoor seating areas. The coffee is very good also. I've had a latte and a drip. Both are tasty. The staff is friendly.“

“I am going back tomorrow because the adult grilled cheese was just fabulous and I want to try everything. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Such a fabulous business with a fantastic staff.“

“We went for the first time today and will frequently be back! The staff were so friendly and helpful and we got to try samples of everything we wanted to try. The prices were so reasonable and everything we got was delicious. Also tried a sample of the jelati cakes and we will definitely be back to pick up one of those in future!!!“

“The beef on weck was great! Being from Buffalo, I really enjoyed it!!“

“Since being gluten free I have not had soft pizza crust that was good. I bought 2 and will be ordering them more often. They were amazing and made me so happy. The carrot cake was delicious and so soft and flavorful.“

“Was in Wilmington looking for a place to eat this place sounded good. I wasn't disappointed, food was really good and the service was great. Riley did a great job.“

“Did an amazing job catering for a birthday party. Food was delicious! Those fingerling potatoes and steak and shrimp---yum!“

“Has yummy vegan grilled cheese for alternative - other delicious sandwiches made to order - cool little outdoor area with picnic tables - very casual and laidback - not fast food so expect to wait or order ahead - we look forward to returning! Staff was friendly!“

“Great service and the food was excellent!“

“Working across the street at the new museum being built came inside Taco baby. Was met with a warm welcoming feeling. Miss Hope was extremely nice and her beautiful mom miss Kim was very helpful with helping me decide on what tacos I was in the mood for. Definitely five stars would highly recommend this place for anybody in the Wilmington area. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Our first visit to the area and first time trying Boombalattis. We tried the banana pudding, coffee, and the cinnamon caramel oatmeal cookie flavors and they were amazing! 100% recommend a stop here for your sweet tooth needs.“

“Stopped into Famous Toastery for breakfast and it delivered exactly what you want from a go-to spot.
The omelet was perfectly fluffy and loaded, topped with a smooth layer of melted cheddar that pulled everything together. On the other plate, the eggs, sausage, and home fries were all brought to life with a rich sausage gravy that actually had depth — not just filler.
Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and consistent. Nothing overcomplicated — just solid execution across the board.
This is the kind of place you keep in rotation.“

“The Mediterranean-style food was absolutely amazing and something everyone could enjoy. The pita bread was warm, soft, and incredibly fresh. The hummus was creamy and full of flavor, perfect for sharing or eating all by yourself.

The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and well seasoned — and the grilled chicken pita wraps were to die for. The tzatziki sauce tasted so fresh and light, adding the perfect touch to every bite. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared.I was told it’s all homemade and that’s not a surprise. You can taste the effort and love.“

“I think their food is good, however everytime we go when we're on vacation they screw up our order. Doesn't matter what location.“

“Best breakfast [Original] Best breakfast“

“Hi guys !! I ordered pickup here and I was not disappointed the 4.7 star rating is there for a reason. The coconut shrimp was fantastic and the wings were good as well, but the drunken noodles stole the show! The drunken noodles here are never ending (the noodles aren't cut to pieces) leaving you with a mouthful of velvety texture and flavour. No other place in the area makes drunken noodles that aren't overly sweet or soggy and I genuinely enjoyed every mouthful. No other place will top this location and I hope to eat here again to try their other dishes. I LOVE THAI FOOD!“

“We had the breakfast bowls, they were delicious. Highly recommend Blue Surf over any other breakfast spot.“

“SO dank! The food is so clean!“

“I’m absolutely in love with their delicious Italian cuisines. It’s honestly, in my opinion the best in Wilmington. The staff are super nice! Especially, Al and Haily, because I’ve personally have met them both. Wilmington please try this restaurant to keep it going for years to come. My precious granddaughter loves it also. Thanks for all the hard work y’all put into making those mouth watering entrees. ????????“

“Great spot to hit up on the Gallery Walk night. You absolutely can't go wrong with giving this a go. The menu is very cool, great vibes. Reminds me of some bars in Philly. You can always get some rocking food and super tasty beer (great selection by the way). If you like onion rings then it is a no brainier. The kitchen has it all together, service is very friendly. The place can get packed at times. It is worth the wait. Keep Rocking Penny!“

“Dinner tonight at Fish Bites was fantastic! Grouper, risotto, green beans! We had one of their amazing desserts, lemon blueberry cake! Very, very busy, service was great and so friendly!!“

“We were hesitant to try this place due to some of the reviews. I’m so glad we decided to give them a go. We ordered the Brie pastry as an appetizer along with espresso martinis. For our entrees we ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the chicken pot pie. Truly amazing. The waitress was attentive and the atmosphere was great. We will be back.“

“Excellent food, burgers made to order and very fresh, crispy tots. The staff were friendly and helpful. I can't believe we've waited so long to try the Mess Hall. We willbe back!“

“The sandwiches were delicious and the staff was great. Thank you!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“Kylee Matzke isn’t just a Playa Bowls employee—she’s a smoothie-slinging, açaí-stacking legend. Her customer service? Absolutely out of this world. NASA called—they want to study it. Kylee’s the type of person who can turn your “meh” day into a magical fruit-filled adventure, all with a smile that could outshine the blender lights. Whether she’s recommending the perfect topping combo or just making you laugh while you wait, she brings a vibe so good it should be bottled and sold (with extra granola). Simply put, Kylee doesn’t just make bowls—she makes people’s days. Playa Bowls hit the jackpot with her!“

“Our first visit to the area and first time trying Boombalattis. We tried the banana pudding, coffee, and the cinnamon caramel oatmeal cookie flavors and they were amazing! 100% recommend a stop here for your sweet tooth needs.“

“A cute little neighborhood dig. GREAT locally roasted coffee. Their coldbrew is off the charts. A mix of nostalgia and eclectic novelty makes the perfect cozy, spot for your coffee shop adventures. They have catered local food that is good in a hunch (don’t expect a full food menu there is no kitchen). A wide menu and even beer & wine! I love their outdoor bistro tables on a sunny day. Always shaded.“

“Great food and service“

“This lovely, inviting spot is an experience! The servers are friendly and welcoming, tending to the smallest details. And the FOOD?! Puh-LEEZ don’t get my started because I’ll be here for days. Let me access some adjectives: creative, TASTY, innovative, comforting, pleasing, surprising, satiating and FUN. The flavors just keep happening and the price point is generous. Give yourself some love and visit this cozy, clean, marvelous spot. You’ll leave happier than you arrived!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“The food was so good I almost had an orgasm! Yes it is that good!“

“Variety of fresh bagels & reasonably priced. Staff are extremely friendly.“

“Best luncheon Best service Best venue & ambiance Best price Best dining experience“

“Amazing in every way. Atmosphere, food, service, drinks. If you love Indochine you will instantly love Cafe Chinois, their sister restaurant. Check out the lunch menu too and don’t forget to look at the amazing artwork.“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in town. We love El Cerro Monkey Junction. Junior and staff make it a special dining experience. We truly feel like family every time we eat there. It’s our go to place for all our celebrations and date nights.“
