39 Best Vegan Restaurants in Portsmouth

“I love Portsmouth for its shops and vibe, but honestly haven’t really loved a lot of the restaurants. Came here and I think it will be by new favorite spot. Food was really good and they have something for everyone. Some of the seating was a little awkward.“

“Been going here for years, never had a bad meal.“

“I called first to ask about their allergen menu, and the girl who answered was very knowledgeable about it and answered all of my questions without having to check on anything. I was very impressed. We later put in an online order and everything was ready on time and delicious. We'll definitely be putting in more orders here. Thank you!“

“The food is out of this world good!!!!“

“Last night was truly a one of a kind experience for my husband and I. From the moment we walked into the door, being greeted so warmly by the owner. Throughout our meal the staff was genuine and kind with helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary. Making us both feel truly special. I have never experienced this level of top notch service in a restaurant in my life. Thank you for a wonderful night and experience, Tonya C“

“The pizza was great. I loved every bite of it. It was made more healthily. Our server Kelly was catering to our needs quickly.“

“Amazing first time visit to the Portsmouth NH location…from the the decor…to the scrumptious meals we had, Chicken Cordon Blue Benny and an Omelet with a heaping side plate of various meats( sausage,bacon and ham) and not to mention bottomless coffee refills……however what stood out the most was our server Emma ! Emma - has a unique talent for making you feel like you are the most important person in the room, even as she was juggling all her tables. Emma is the kind of server who can tell you a great story and refill your coffee at the same time. Emma -thank you for making our visit so enjoyable..we will be back! But wait….first we have to try the corn beef(outstanding!) hash before we hit the road!! 😊“

“delicious.. great food. next time we are in the area we will be back“

“From the moment we were greeted by Ava with her phenomenal personality, to spending time at the bar with Nick, all the way through our meal served by Ethan, this evening was a delight. The food was delicious, the service exemplary, and the staff were personable and professional.“

“oh wow... what a find! We were looking for a seafood restaurant when passing thru the area and the name caught our attention. We had an amazing dinner! We both chose the seafood fettuccine, which was heavenly - incredible pasta and sauce topped with succulent seafood. Desserts were lavender creme brulee and white chocolate cake...Holy cow! Dinner and service were both top-notch.. and we can't wait to return!“

“I’m from the Boston area and was meeting a friend in Portsmouth for dinner. We picked Durbar Square and we’re definitely not disappointed. We had an absolutely fabulous meal there. The chicken chili was a delicious, and a different approach than any chili I’ve had before. The chicken was perfect cooked. The sauce was full of flavor. They also ask you to pick yours spice range from 1-10 so you can choose what suits you best. The owner, John, is totally engaged with his customers and if you want, can even demonstrate a yoga pose or 2 (which he is very good at). Just overall a great place to eat.“

“I love this place. Everyone is just so friendly and warm. It's so nice to be in a place that remembers that I am your consumer. I'm consuming your thaichovski with a little chocolate and a shot (no rum though, weak!)....But I'm also consuming your smiles, your good energy and your kindness. Thanks for keeping me going all day! See you tomm! Love, Wonderwoman“

Thank you Pink Bamboo for all your hospitality and can’t wait to come back soon!“

“We ordered takeout from Dough in Portsmouth, NH… but the atmosphere was so warm, cozy, and welcoming that we decided to stay and enjoy ourselves instead. 💛 As vegans, we were honestly blown away by how accommodating everyone was — especially the vegan chef Jenny, who went above and beyond for us. She made vegan fettuccine Alfredo, vegan chocolate milk, incredible vegan sundaes, and every single thing we tried was delicious. We ordered pretty much EVERYTHING on the vegan menu and were not disappointed: 🍕 4 different topped pizzas 🧄 Garlic knots 🍩 Fried dough bites 🍟 French fries 🍝 Fettuccine Alfredo 🥦 Broccoli pesto pasta 🍨 Sundaes 🍫 Cosmic brownies Not only was the food amazing, but the experience itself was so thoughtful and family friendly. They have a comfortable sitting area where adults and kids can relax and enjoy themselves. My son spent time coloring and decorating Mother’s Day cards, playing games, and they even gave all the moms flowers to celebrate, which was such a sweet touch. 🌸 This place is truly top notch. Everything was delicious, the staff was kind and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for everyone — including vegan families. We cannot recommend Dough enough and we already can’t wait to go back! ❤️“

“Love the atmosphere...the food was delicioso...margaritas to die for...friendly staff...love love love 💗“

“My girlfriend & I had such a wonderful experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our waiter (I wish I remembered his name) was so attentive. When it came time to pay & get everything boxed up & cleared away, it felt like any staff walking by did something to help out. The teamwork was excellent & something I don’t see very often anymore. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you!“

“Great atmosphere, welcoming staff and amazing food! Will be back for sure !“

“Brendan was extremely helpful. We went in on a Sunday and it was pretty busy, we ordered, got our food to go, went out to the car and when we opened the bag we were disappointed to see that the soup we got was half full, missing the baguette, and the 2 bagels were cold. I walked back inside and Brendan greeted me again and I explained to him our issue. With 0 issues he walked back into the kitchen, got my girlfriend a new FULL soup as well with a baguette, and also tossed a cookie in the bag for us. Customer service 10/10 more people need to be like Brendan! Thank you again.“
