50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Wilmington

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

“A small place located on market street that offers a very good breakfast. My wife had the western omelette and I had the traditional 2 eggs, hash browns and sausage. Let me tell you the sausage was a little spicy and delicious. The hash browns were fresh, not frozen,and crispy. The ham on the omelette was pre grilled and lots of it. Highly recommended.“

“THANK YOU Candance for taking such good care of me this week by taking my food allergies seriously. She was AMAZING with ensuring my meal did not contain any of my food allergies, which allowed me to enjoy my dinner stress-free. It was my first time ever visiting the restaurant and I'll definitely go back.“

“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.“

“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… 🤤“

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

“Visited 8/16/25, Greenville, NC. The food was excellent.. hot, fresh, and flavorful. Our waitress, Ramsie K, was excellent. Speed of service was excellent. We will definitely visit again.“

“Awesome pizza! We just moved to Wilmington and we have been searching for a good pizza. Don Luca’s was real homemade pizza with two great dipping oils to add a special delicious touch! Plus Tony the owner is dedicated to his food and to his customers!!!!.“

“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!“

“Good pretzel! Neat place! Clean Barhrooms!“

“I have eaten Sushi all over the US as well as Asia and (not to mention) Japan. This place is very authentic and the sushi is just amazing. I only order sushi but my husband always gets a cooked dinner and he says they are amazing as well! The staff is attentive and the sushi chef (I believe owner) is fantastic. I sometimes get supermarket sushi as Genki is not real close to me. I used to appreciate it was “just supermarket sushi” but after Genki (10-12 times) it’s real hard to get a quick supermarket fix. Actually right now I’m salivating!“

“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!!!“

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

“Had a mix up with a gift card. They fixed it quick fast and in a hurry. Thanks so much Porter’s neck location!!!!“

“Best place in town. If you haven’t tried their fried fish special- you’ve missed out on the best thing in life.“

“Great French food! Friendly speedy staff!“

“Really great brunch today for Mother's Day! It was our first time here. Glad we go there right at opening, food was worth the wait! Also great place to bring kids there is a lot of stuff you can do with them while you wait for your table and food!“

“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.“

“Jerry's has been a favorite of mine for years. The quality and care given by the wait staff is remarkable. And the food is unsurpassed!“

“New to Wilmington and this place I was told I must try... I'm not an egg person, but these omelette's are KILLER!!!!!!!!! I recommend the western or veggie... My boyfriend likes the Spanish... I did try the salsa and it's very tasty... The home fries are fresh and my boyfriend killed a whole plate of grilled biscuits!!!! All the staff is friendly and fast... If your a small diner lover, like we are, this is a GREAT PLACE!!!!!“

“We were visiting from Michigan recently. And we were looking for a cool cafe. Down the street from where we were staying was Folks Cafe. We went in. OMG what a cool place. The owner Tammy is so nice and full of energy. We in fact went twice. If ever in the Wilmington area and looking for a cool, great food, great coffee and especially great friendly service FOLKS is the place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places !! The beer is great .. the service is always friendly … these days I only return & spend my money at places w/ good service and Fly Trap is very consistent!!! We were there last night and the bartender came out to light the fire pit for us - I wish I counselor remember her name .. Cheryl ? Maybe … she was very patient and even made sure that everything was OK!!
One of my new favorite places to visit !!
Oh .. Did I mention that they are dog friendly and on Tuesdays all pours are 4. bucks !!“

“Thank You Mission BBQ for great food products, friendly service, and your exceptional hospitality to military Vets and area First Responders. Your dining area walls are a museum of first hand experiences of those who serve and served this great nation. If anyone dines here for the first time, try if you can to do so at Noon of any day, when they ask patrons to stand for and sing the National Anthem. This is a business that "walks the walk" of appreciating this great nation - and not ashamed of doing it. And finally, did I mentioned their BBQ is exceptional! Thank you.“

“I don’t often feel strongly enough to leave reviews but I loved this place and want to recognize our server, Melissa! Me and my boyfriend visited Wilmington on a trip celebrating our anniversary, and we decided to come here because neither of us have ever had fondue. This was a great experience for both us and also a great date night! Our server was Melissa, and she recommended our broth and also my dipping sauces, which were all great. She really knows the menu well and what pairs with what. The choices can be overwhelming, especially for our first time at a fondue restaurant, but she is very patient and helpful. She is a great bartender too, my boyfriend really loved the Manhattan she made him and I also loved the drink she made me, which is saying a lot because I am very sensitive to alcohol. This place is also very fairly priced for the amount of food you receive. Great environment, food, and experience!“

“I have never been disappointed here!“

“Fun birthday adventure for my wife, the food was delicious and pretty average cost wise.
The apple pie cinnamon roll was flakey and not overly sweet.

The pancake was HUGE. Added a sign of turkey sausage which was fried just right and the edges over easy!
The yolks were golden yellow.
Didn't have to wait long from ordering to getting our food. Server (s) weren't overbearing, or lacking.
Will likely be back before we head home from our of town.“

“Best breakfast [Original] Best breakfast“

“WOW!!! Catering order for 50 people. For a college graduation celebration. Food couldn't be more delicious. Chicken was so tender and moist that even the fussy children stated it was delicious and ate it all. Service was outstanding. Even got a text from the owner few hours after, asking how the food was and if there was enough food for everyone. The price was very reasonable. Thank you for making it an enjoyable and at ease gathering for my family & I.“

“Amazingly delicious beers! Very welcoming environment!“

“Wonderful beer, friendly staff and a great location.“

“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.“

“What an amazing first experience we had tonight! My wife and I live in Myrtle Beach, but our child lives here. We are staying at their place watching their pets while they are away. This place has been on our to try list for a while now and we finally had the opportunity. What an incredible experience! The food was outstanding! The flavor was on point and the servings were huge! My wife and I each had an amazing pasta dish and split the largest piece of coconut cake we have ever seen. Now, you would think after all that I just wrote that would be the best part of our experience, but it wasn’t! The absolute best part was one of the kindest people we have ever met, Bella! Let me tell you the meaning of her name fits in so many ways! She was absolutely incredible! So kind! So caring! I honestly could go on and on! She made my mine and my wife’s evening such a memorable night.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews but they totally deserve one! We left the movies and my parents said “where are we having lunch?”. I said “right here! I looked at their menu during the movie”. Coquina did NOT disappoint. The “co’jito” and “café con leche” cocktails were perfection. The conch fritters were fantastic. In fact, we were shocked how many fritters come with the order and the size of them. Most restaurants we’ve been to that offered conch fritters come with (maybe) five fritters and always far smaller in size. And the actual amount of conch and size of the pieces: amazing. It was so nice to actually taste conch and not just breading/filler! And then the Cuban sandwich….. OMG….. My father and I always order a Cuban sandwich and judge a restaurant based on it if it’s on their menu. We both agreed that this was probably the best Cuban sandwich we’ve ever had! And we’ve tried them from Key West up to New England. The mayo balances out the mustard…. The melted Swiss cheese…. BUT the winner: the mojo-marinated SMOKED pork. Once you get through the creamy, savory, and tang, you get the smoke flavor and it’s just the perfect marriage of flavors. I know it’s supposed to be a fish-focused place, but do yourself a favor and get the Cuban sandwich!!“

“the absolute best burger. hot food and fast.“

“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. ????????“

“Down home local spot with good hearty food choices. Nana is a spicy hostess that will make you feel like family… so make sure you mind your manners and have a positive attitude. Seating is tight and eclectic but the place is charming if you embrace it.“

“If I am having a bad day I immediately go to the Copper Penny and get the 109 Chestnut chicken sandwich. Greatest sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are amazing. in my opinion, if the staff is good, you know the food’s going to be good!!!! The wait can be long, but wait in that line!!! I cannot stress that enough.You will NOT be disappointed. The only time I’ve ever been disappointed by this place is when they discontinued, the sweet potato fries. But overall, it’s worth the wait and it’s worth the stop 12/10 recommend.“

“Wow! Bone fish has a terrific fixed lunch deal. The brussel sprouts salad was huge, the fish cooked to perfection, delicious cole slaw and crispy seasoned fries. With a soda or fresh brewed ice tea!! All for under $15 bucks. \nMy waitress Giselle, was attentive and made me feel welcomed. It was an awesome lunch. Check it out.👍❤️🌹“

“I love the charcuterie!! It’s awesome!!“

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

“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!“

“Great food and too tier service!!! ❤️“

“We stopped in on our way back to the airport from a week of vacationing at Top Sail Island, NC and the food and mimosa’s was awesome!! We’ll be back next year!“

“Let me tell y’all, my sweet husband took me out on a date night and when I tell y’all that Grant was cranky the ENTIRE time, I mean the ENTIRE time! But when we asked for the check early The Melting Pot in Wilmington, our waiter said the check had already been taken care of and that they were a restaurant that truly cares about your dinning experience! They were absolutely amazing and we will definitely be back, when we have a sitter next time for Grant!“

“I attended Bridge Tender restaurant for this past Thanksgiving with my family and it was Horrible....vegetables not season blend, just should have been traditional Turkey and dressing, not how they had serve it, carrots no taste spinach no taste. I will just stop there. I've been living here for about 5 years, my 2nd visit here at this restaurant I will NOT attend another Thanksgiving meal here. Last the size portion is very small for the price. I stand by and approve this message, I am a Retired Chef Military.“

“The absolute best food and service!!!! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!“
