46 Best Vegan Restaurants near Rye

“Sometimes you get exactly what you need, and thanks to the Common Roots Cafe, I did today! Wonderful place with fresh, creative, healthy food and beverages. And they gave our dog a homemade treat! And we ate our lunch across the street on the beach. Just the break we needed in the midst of a long drive. Treat yourself if you’re in Rye, NH!!“

“Lagos Ice Cream is always a treat. Serving sizes are more than generous. They have added more parking over the years and there are always spaces available. The picnic table sitting area is a nice spot to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Funky Panda is always a favorite!“

“Love it! The food was amazing, especially the ginger scallion shrimp burger. The staff were super friendly and they took care of everything that we needed. We also came with our service dog and we didn’t have any problems. I would recommend making a reservation, if not you just can walk right in.“

“Fantastic! The best shawarma we've ever had in a wrap! The dumplings and Cauli were totally spicy and added shrimp, delicious. The fried Mexican cheese was also delicious! Highly recommend, we're only in town for 2 days so we'll be back tomorrow!“

“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.“

“Hands-down best Fine Dining Italian Restaurant in Portsmouth. Perhaps the best Fine Dining Establishment Overall and our personal favorite. The food here is special. Much of it is Farm to Table using local ingredients and even the fresh flowers on the table are beautiful. The Carbonara has been elevated to almost mythical status and to be tried to believe with the fresh egg yolk nestled into the fresh tagliatelle, crispy guanciale, fresh peas and shaved truffles. The desserts are all spectacular as well, wine list has everything you want and the drinks are as elevated as the fare. They book out quick but worth the wait.“

“After a long trip traveling from Long Island Bahamas, we were cold and hungry. Stopped in and Lola was so welcoming, made me and my daughter Isabella (9 years old) feel right at home. Isabella who is usually quiet, chatted with Lola the entire time she prepared our food. We had a lamb gyro, chicken shawarma and chicken nuggets.. everything was great. Will definitely be back. Thanks Lola?“

“Very good donuts called sweet potato marshmallow“

“I am no "foodie", but I can tell that this place is next level good! Balanced favors! Aspects that I would normally shy away from, but that blended to be remarkable! Spectacular! "Best ramen I ahve ever had!" Per my college daughter.“

“Had the Medley Crue - creative and amazing. A healthy meal you can’t duplicate at home. Nostalgic decor and great service in downtown Portsmouth. We will be coming back for more.Kid-friendliness: Great family atmosphere and a tiny toast menu“

“The very nice employee who put together our order was very cognizant of any allergen statements we made on our order and made sure to keep that in mind when we ordered the gf bun. But appearantly they have no vegan buns even for the bean patty (which is appearantly a vegan patty). The employee gets 5 stars for being so helpful, kind and aware for us. However it's frustrating that the seemingly vegan option has one thing non vegan and it isn't labeled as such for clarity (which is very easy to do) Especially since vegan food often isn't an allergen-centric food decision. The fact that there is no choice of vegan bun to accommodate a vegan patty seems extraordinarily lazy of the owner(s).Employee gets 5 starsLexies menu design gets 1 star“

“This was our first time at Green Elephant and we can't wait to go back! Finding a restaurant with lots of vegan options is difficult, so when we discover one and it's great, we get excited! We went for lunch, getting there right when they opened and by the time we left an hour and change later, they were completely full. We had an app, the king oyster mushroom tempura, a noodle curry, and a stir fry. All were amazing. The atmosphere was very nice as well. We didn't get any drinks, but they had a really creative cocktail menu - we'll be back for dinner and drinks next time!“

“Very delicious and convenient located. The staff were very friendly and the food tasted very fresh!“

“What a fun little diner! Really cool and casual vibe, and the FOOD! Everything was exceptional, my husband had the Irish eggs Benedict and said it might be the best eggs Benedict he's ever had! My breakfast sandwich was busting with fresh flavors and cheesy goodness. The ladies there was really friendly and welcoming. Couldn't be happier that we found this little gem!“

“Bar tender was awesome, great food and drinks and best of all, absolutely amazing service, our favorite restaurant by far, worth the drive from anywhere.“

“Favorite lunch spot. Delicious“

“Cozy spot with a big selection of herbal tea and coffee. Their lunch menu was very extensive as well. Many people were working off their laptops while drinking a coffee or tea or enjoying a sandwich. This place is very kid friendly because many moms brought their kids inside for a bite to eat. The food was delicious and you can also purchase their homemade herbal tea by the can. Highly recommended White Heron if you’re in the Portsmouth area! 10/10Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“Fam, this place is straight up bussin, no cap. Like I’m not speaking Capanese when I say that this place is skraight fire. That korma lamb and chicken naan had me in a chokehold. Will be coming back a lot more for that bangin food, on god fr fr“

“Finally placed a takeout order at Bob's having passed by it many times, and glad we tried it. Our order was ready on time as promised and was accurately put together. I tried a broiled quarter chicken with two sides (mac & cheese, sausage stuffing) and some corn bread. Everything seemed home made, hot and quite tasty. The stuffing really seemed home made, but the mac and cheese was a tad dry for my liking. The chicken was tender, moist and delicious. Like most food these days at any restaurant/supermarket, prices seemed a tad high. Portion sizes were generous however. I'll be back to try the chicken pot pie, which is one of my favorite comfort food dishes. Give Bob's a try! Sorry no photos as I dug in so quickly I forgot to snap first!“

“Great place with nice atmosphere. My experiences with the staff have all been pleasant and the food I found hasn't been bad. Especially enjoy visiting and feeding the goat brothers carrots. Just watch your fingers... Goats may not have upper teeth but they can still nip! ?“

“This lovely restaurant is the kind of place that you celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other momentous occasions. The prices are high, but so are the quality of the food, drinks, service, and surroundings. We celebrated our daughter's master's degree completion at the Library, and it was memorable from start to finish. All of our food was either good or great.Note: you have to go down a flight of stairs to access restrooms. Amanda was an excellent server. If you want a good red wine that doesn't break the bank (by itself, anyway), the Valpolicella from the Veneto region of Italy was stellar.“

“Best Thai food around! Curry is my favorite! We frequent this restaurant so much so that the owner knows my name and welcomes me by name. Both take-out and dining-in experience is great! Stop in and give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Boyfriend and I, who are from out of town stumbled across this place today because their flag blew off in the wind as we were walking by so we brought it inside and were unexpectedly thanked with a treat from the super friendly staff. It was so tasty we had to come back to get more, and will definitely keep this place in mind whenever we’re back in Portsmouth.“

“Visiting from Mississippi, our son brought us here for breakfast. Good food, great servers, and cozy. Recommend this place for breakfast!“

“Went out to dinner here on a Friday, and even though it was very busy (because the food is amazing), we got a table quickly and got some apps/meals.The food was incredible, the service was supreme, and it was just an overall great night. Would highly recommend and we will be back!Dietary restrictions: Made sure there were no nuts with anything I ordered and the wait staff was very attentive.Parking: There is a paid parking lot nearby.“

“Went here for our 56th anniversary Saturday night! This is the second time we’ve been here and not been able to order an entree because of the apps! We got PEI mussels and the calamari. My husband is a big eater but after drinks and these starters, we couldn’t eat another bite! Next time we are going to get one app to share and then hopefully have room enough for an entree! Service was great, drinks super! A cosmo and a dark and stormy. Will definitely be back again and again!“

“Huge portions! Each scoop the size of a softball! Absolutely delicious ice cream and the waffle cones were amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“This place has something for everyone! The variety of food options and drink options are plentiful. I have been here with family and friends, sat inside and out. The staff are friendly and attentive, the place is clean and welcoming. The food is special in a simple, clean way. In the summer you can bring your dog and in the winter you can ice skate. You have to try this place!“

“We selected Moxy for the Portsmouth restaurant week. Our table samples diverse offerings (except for the 4th course).Of the courses, the barramundi was a stand out, both beautiful and delicious, a wonderfully balanced spring plate.The service was attentive and prompt. We were not rushed and had time to complete each course before the next was brought out.I would love to return to sample the regular menu.“

“Red Rover Creamery in Portsmouth, NH, deserves every bit of its 10/10 rating! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the heavenly scent of freshly baked cookies, cakes and treats. The ice cream sandwiches are out-of-this-world delicious, pairing perfectly with their incredible cookies, cakes, and other treats.

“This place is AWESOME! The staff is super friendly and happy and the roast beef sandwich was the best I’ve ever had!! (And I’ve had A LOT of rb sammies) I live in Maine but I have pinned this into my maps so I can stop every time I pass through. Thank you for a job well done guys!!“

“On a cold weekday, I decided to head to the Soupery to satiate a craving for chicken noodle. The location is wonderfully walkable if you work in downtown Portsmouth. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful when they ran out of the full amount of one ordered soup. My officemate and I traded bites and all the kinds we ordered were delicious and had that great homemade quality. Not much to say about ambiance because there's an ordering window and that's it! You won't have to stand in the cold long!“

“Had to kill some time today before an appointment in Portsmouth so I decided to grab an acai bowl because i was getting pretty hungry and i had no idea how long my appointment afterwards was going to go... Best decision ever! Even tho it was busy, the woman at the counter (Ella? Bella?) got my order done quickly, deliciously, and with a real smile.“

“Overall roundabout is a classic staple of Portsmouth. Its vibe is awesome and they always do a great job with food. It's always great to eat here and the prices are fairly reasonable. There are a few breakfast places that I would always send my friends to. This is one of those places.“

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“Bridgette is amazing. She has such great energy and personality. Quality atmosphere and aesthetic. All around amazing place. Been here many times and never fails to impress. Highly recommend if you’re in the Portsmouth area and want a small place to enjoy good food and friendly staff.“

“I already ate at a place a block away but decided I was hungry enough to have a regional favorite - Poutine! It wasn’t busy; the food tastes great; the environment was on the quiet side, you could actually hear the people around you talking. The business was clean, and I’ll be GOING BACK to try one of the burgers.“

“The people were very friendly. The girl who took my order was patient with me while we created a sandwich for me.Vegetarian and vegan options!There is a nice porch where you can eat outside.The bakery/pastry items looked delicious! I’m trying to cut down on my carbs and sugar, so I was good and I didn’t have any.“

“Next to the water park on Lafayette Street. It has a very good Cinemagic movie theater, McKinnon's meat market, and Petco shop. There is also a convenient and very good Starbucks.Food can be had at the 99 Restaurant, Ollie's and Me, Subway's Restaurant, and Dough Craft Pizza. Cross the street for Taco Bell and Burger King. Across the street from Starbucks is Cantina Vida.The parking lot is currently under repair and building of a new structure.“

“We tried the prix fixe here during Portsmouth's Restaurant Week April 2024.The food was well presented and the flavors were pleasant but not particularly distinctive. The Boudin Blanc Meatballs in Pea Puree with Mimolette & pickled vegetables was our favorite.The service was adequate.The highlight of the experience was the cozy rustic ambiance & intimate atmosphere of the first floor dining room, right on the land-side of Ceres Street with a view of the Piscataqua River.“

“This is better than the usual Indian dive. The food is tasty, filling and not expensive. But the menu doesn’t deliver what it promises. The “roti” is identical to the naan. The “south Indian” spices are identical to the other curry spices.If this place served Masala Dosas, and made an effort to serve South Indian dishes, I’d give five stars.“

“So exceptional! I had a giftcard here and went for my birthday, is a cozy little restaurant and bar in Portsmouth. The owner and servers were friendly, helpful, fast, made great suggestions, and repeatedly asked if everything was tasting okay. We did the $60 per person 4 course meal for the Spring Menu. You have 3 options to choose from for each course. I had the beet salad, cauliflower, gnocchi, and churros. Everything was so fresh, flavorful and clearly cooked with love. Was insanely good the drinks were really fun and creative too. Would absolutely go back for their summer menu and recommend to anyone in the area. Definitely make a reservation!“

“Great gluten free bagel. It's plain, but not... plain plain. Lots of GF options to eat and drink.Unfortunately, the menu uses a poor font where all the letters or a word are capitalized and very close together. This makes it hard to read from far away, whose vision isn't great, or for those where English isn't their first language. So, grab a menu from the rack by the door.Dietary restrictions: Gluten FreeWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to upper dining area by the counter, but not sure the tables are wheelchair friendly.“

“I had the metapils and one of their NE IPAs, both excellent. The service here was incrediblely friendly and attentive.I'm not sure why I didn't have high hopes for the fish tacos. Gladly, I was wrong. They're the perfect portion for when I'm having beers and trying not to get too full. They're also big on flavor.Overall very nice.“

“This is a cute little soup and salad place - very bright and clean. Soups are excellent - we actually ended up buying two buckets to go and enjoyed them for the next couple of days (Thai noodle and Pumpkin bisque). Salads were fresh and I think pre-made. The restaurant seems to mostly cater to take-out customers. Salads are given to you in take out boxes and you serve yourself the soup. I liked that they list all of the ingredients in the soups. Like another customer, i was nonplussed by the automatic tip at the checkout (you can opt out, but need to look for it). The food is priced appropriately and there is no real service, so I don't quite understand the need for a tip. Otherwise, friendly staff and a good place to grab a quick, healthy bite.“

“Kilwins never disappoints! The staff was super friendly and was eager to help out and be of good service. I felt welcome and there were many ice cream and chocolate choices. I do recommend stopping by here for a sweet treat and I hope this place gets recognized for how cool it is!“
