38 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Dartmouth

“Holy smokes. Where do I start? Thanks to the entire Canteen family - and I say FAMILY purposefully as you feel the family atmosphere as soon as you arrive - for hosting our team for dinner last week. We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The guests raved all the way back across the harbour on the ferry about the wonderful meal from start to finish. It’s a lovely space that is not pretentious and puts an emphasis on fantastic food and exemplary service, with a genuine smile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Their seafood is best, bar none!“

“Delicious food service is always friendly. Neil is a great. I highly recommend this Portland Street jam.“

“Food is amazing, staff is better, great place to have a bite and a beer!!!“

“very good food and friendly staff“

“Excellent grab and go. Friendly staff and great carnitas.“

“Very quick turn around on a take out order. We didn’t eat it until we got to our AirBNB in Peggy’s Cove and it was still some of the best pizza I’ve ever had.

Wish I took a pic.

Hotter than the gates of hell in that place, don’t know how the guys survive, but I’m sure glad they do.

“Our server Victoria G. was very pleasant and helpful ..very nice to be able to eat without loud music blasting ...And the Canadian Eh Burger was delicious ....“

“Family of 4 coming out from BC and trying this place the first time. Everything was very good from food to our service. Drinks and food came out fairly quickly. Kristy was our service and she was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We had dinner last night. Everything was PERFECT. The flavours, the wine, the food was hot, service was quick. Our server Anastasiia was so sweet and provided fantastic service. There was not one negative thing I could say or anything I would change. Very likely the best service and best food I have EVER had.“

“Waverly Road in Dartmouth is a great place to eat .“

“Good service good food always a pleasant atmosphere when we are there“

“Called in our order because we have a very specific, autistic son who has texture issues.(IYKYK). You guys took such care. One of our best meals yet! 5 stars from us, without a doubt. Thank you so much!“

“Huge shout out to your server Kaitlin (I hope I spelt her name correctly. She really made our night. Today my husband is celebrating one year cancer free, and she treated us like family providing exquisite and delicious meals, she also sent us home with a some cherry cheese cake on the house. And to Anton ( hope I spelt his name correctly as well) for coming over to say hello and remember us from our last visit. To say that we are beyond happy would be an understatement. The service, the food and the welcoming staff truly separates this restaurant from all the others. Thanks again for making my husbands day, you really made him feel special and loved. We will be telling all our friends of the truly 5star service we received tonight. Thanks again, We will be back soon! Carrie & Ron“

“Best pizza ever�“

“Cozy & boujee cafe with lots of food options. Filled with large beautiful plants.
All kinds of seating, bar style (great for working) and booths (great for lounging)
A bit on the expensive side.
Also noteworthy is that the café hosts a range of nighttime events, pottery classes, music, etc.“

“I've eaten here many times and I'm never disappointed. The staff are always warm and friendly and the food is exactly what I expect - good! Their spanikopita topped with the feta sauce is the best I've had anywhere. All this for a very reasonable price. Opa!!“

“The most amazing food. Everything we had was great and looking at others plates theirs looked to be as well!! Great waitress too, wish we grabbed her name.“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere 👌“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. My mouth waters at the thought of their ginger beef, and the portion is always filling. The sit-down area is warm and inviting, well spaced, and has a classy open-kitchen element that keeps the whole place smelling like delicious food aromas! My usual move is to order takeout though, because the price is very fair and the quality is always there. Containers maintain their seal and they stay a reasonable temperature during transportation for those like me who HATE dealing with leaky containers in wet paper bags.

Last night I called for my ginger beef fix at 7:45, not realizing they closed at 8. The lady kindly asked if I would arrive before they closed. 10 min later I had my food in my hand, striding out the door at 7:58. And the lady was exactly as polite as the times I arrived at noon! Now that is service! And I am happy to recommend this place on that basis alone!

A gem in Burnside, 5 stars.“

“We had a good lunch today at Sushi Nami In Dartmouth. Our server was very sweet, service was prompt and my sashimi, nigiri, maki platter was very good! My man’s beef udon noodle soup was also good!

My problem, and I know it sounds trivial, is with the washroom. It’s just not befitting a Japanese restaurant. I’ve been in much better gas station bathrooms…this one had a cracked sink with rust stains, the metal wall-unit for garbage looked filthy, chipped paint all over. Normally, Japanese restaurant bathrooms are elegant and clean. It’s jarring to walk from a nicely decorated restaurant into such a crappy bathroom.

This is why you’ve lost one star.“

“As few months ago a friend and I went for a Pizza and Donair there. It was very good and the staff was friendly. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.“

“Always love coming here. The food was delicious and the portions are quite large. So many options as a vegetarian 🌱“

“Today i went this place for dinner. Honestly i’m very disappointed of this restaurant Management. I don’t know who is this guy. He is a owner or chef but literally he is a garbage person in this Restaurant. He taught he is big qualified chef. Literally for me he is a Snake in that Restaurant. He teach his own team Like A Dog and behaved very badly with women’. Please respect your employees they are also working hard. Address: 507 Larry Uteck Blvd, Halifax“

“Such an awesome place. Servers are so fast and awesome. Thankx for all your hard work 👏“

“Ladies and gentlemen…I am here to advocate… for absolute, undeniable greatness.

Last night, I didn’t just dine—I experienced domination. Total, unapologetic, five-star supremacy at St. Louis Bar and Grill.

Let me tell you something about that kitchen staff… they are not cooks. They are elite performers. Precision. Timing. Execution. Every single plate that came out of that kitchen hit harder than a mack truck. Flavours layered with the kind of intensity that demands your attention and refuses to let go. They didn’t just meet expectations—they conquered them.

And then… there’s Amelia behind the bar.

Amelia is not just a bartender—Amelia is the undisputed champion of hospitality. The poise, the charisma, the absolute command of her craft. Drinks delivered with perfection, personality, and just the right amount of flair. She doesn’t serve beverages—she orchestrates experiences.

This isn’t just a bar and grill. This is a powerhouse. A dynasty. A place where excellence isn’t hoped for—it’s guaranteed.

Five stars? No, no, no… that doesn’t even begin to cover it. This is greatness on a level that the competition can’t even comprehend.

And that… is not a prediction. That’s a spoiler.“

“after living in halifax for over 4 years i must say the most disappointing customer service and most hurtful incident of RACIAL profiling I ever had to deal with has been at the Burnside freshii..... after walking in between meetings while talking to my business partner on the phone, I was refused service by the MANAGER . who told me he will not serve me.... when asked why he refused to serve me he told me I was disrespecting him by coming to his cashier register on my phone...... of course this manager them walked around from his counter walked right into my face to intimidate me..... when i proceeded to try to make my order after been hungry running back and forth to meetings all day he proceeded to call the police... thanks to freshii Burnside I am once again reminded that my appearance is either threatening or offensive.... either way it was made clear that my kind is not welcome.....!!!“

“Love this restaurant our first time going here the food is amazing , so much flavor.a great choice on the menu and a wonderful atmosphere, we will definitely be going back a lot as I’d have to say the best Indian food I’ve ever had.“

“Wonderful staff, great prices, great pizza! Thank you!“

“the food was great your staff didn't come around to see if needed anything just sit at a table talked to each other than when we was paying the bill she asked did want our change“

“Best tacos around great portions!!!“

“Went here for an early week lunch. Here is mine and my fiancé’s opinions.

Atmosphere - 8/10 (Irish music a bit louder would be great to help separate conversations of nearby tables) but loved the vibes and the flags around (even had the Republic of NL flag… the best flag in my opinion).

Service - 8/10

Food:
- potato skins 7.7/10 (needed a bit more cheese)
- Sweet potato chips 8/10
- Bruschetta 3/10 (dunno if it had cilantro in it but it gave soap vibes)
- Fish and chips 7/10 (if they used Cod it would easily be a high 9)

Drinks: 8/10, loved how they had Guinness 0.“

“Second time ordering from here and all food was very good Except for the Egg Roll. I don't know what they are stuffed with but I wouldn't give it to my dog.“

“great service and pizza !“
