50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Altamont

“We had a joyous birthday celebration at my son’s favorite restaurant. Akanomi’s staff and sushi chefs, itamae, excelled at all endeavors. Vivan was spot on with her suggestions and service. She anticipated all of our needs, especially with our children. The chicken soba soup, tuna carpaccio and Hawaii Rolls were our favorites. Then the sashimi / sushi mixed roll party docked. It was stunning in presentation, offerings and taste. Oh my, it was very impressive. A most wonderful time was had by all.“

“Wow! Stumbled on this gem while visiting family in Upstate NY. Sat outside on a beautiful August afternoon enjoying a delicious Riesling and wood fired pizzas. Owners spent some time with us and could not have been nicer. They turned us on to a new wine (Edelweiss), that we had never had. OUTSTANDING, especially on a warm summer day. Beautiful venue for weddings, corporate functions or just an afternoon with friends and family. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“Volunteered at a wonderful event for Petey's Legacy, a local pitbull rescue. Many other rescues were in attendence, there was live music, and a performance from Hedlawitches! De Fazios was serving up their amazing pizza, and the outdoor taproom was open as well, serving hard ciders, beers, and a specialty drink as well as a specialty pup cup! A perfect first day of November!“

“Best collard greens I've ever had, pulled pork was awesome. Baked beans were tasty and I don't recommend trying the peach cobbler because you will be hooked for life“

“This is hands down our family's go-to comfort food spot. The pho is authentic, fresh, and bursting with perfectly balanced flavor—especially the vegetable noodle soup with steamed tofu. The broth feels healing, and the tofu is always cooked to perfection. Their grilled meats and rice dishes are just as incredible—whether it's beef, shrimp, salmon, pork, or chicken, you can't go wrong. Even the wings and spring rolls are packed with flavor and generously portioned.
What truly sets this place apart is the service. The owners treat us like family every time we walk in. It's more than just a meal, it’s an experience of warmth, care, and delicious food that lasts me 2–3 meals. We always leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit.“

“We enjoyed a delicious family meal tonight! The chicken was so tender and the flavor was delicious. Very generous portion - plenty for the four of us. And the best pita bread to accompany the dish. We added on some baklava for a sweet treat at the end and it was amazing! Thank you - we’ll be back soon.“

“Not only does Grano have amazing food, but their customer service is also fantastic! I went there recently before a show at Proctors, and unfortunately the kitchen was a little behind, and we did not have enough time to eat. When leaving Proctors, our server was waiting outside the theater to give us our food to take home. They really went above and beyond. I will definitely be going back soon!“

“Dairy Circus is always wonderful!! Large portions, reasonable prices (so uncommon these days), and the girls behind the windows are always so sweet! They also have the best toasted coconut dip! Thank you so much for being a place where our family can gather for a delicious treat!!“

My dinner came with candied yams, collard greens, potato salad, and a corn bread muffin. Everything was outstanding. I can’t believe I have never ordered from there prior to this. I will be ordering again and making this a staple from now on. Drop everything and order dinner tonight you won’t regret it!“

“Scottis Restaurant is outstanding. The Mussels Marinara Fra Diavolo is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked with a bold, spicy sauce. My wife loves the veal parm. Owner Guy is an excellent chef and a genuinely great person. Service is fast, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend and will be back.“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“While I expected to have Coal Fired Pizza, it wasn't available. That being said the lasagna was excellent, the meatballs had great flavor and you got 4 of them. The spaghetti carbonara was delicious and the penne ala vodka had a red pepper kick to it.

Over all the food was good. I just had a hankering for the pizza and when I saw it advertised on the window I was super excited... but quickly disappointed.“

“We are so happy we chose Stella for our daughter's Bridal Shower brunch. The private room was perfect for a small group; the service was wonderful; and every brunch option was absolutely delicious. The desserts were delectable too. A special thank you to Ali for coordinating every aspect of the event. We couldn't recommend you higher!“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“Great Brewery and friendly staff“

“In town for a little bit just was driving by and saw New York rangers flying out front. I'm a rangers fan and the game was on at 7:00. I went in there at 6:30 sat at the bar bartender put on the anger game and was very attentive. Great service. I didn't ask his name but he handled the whole bar. Good people. No craziness. Ordered a Heineken onion rings which both were fantastic. Look I'm mostly interested in good servers and someone that's smiling and that's what I got. The bar stools were far enough apart where you weren't hitting shoulders or elbows with other people who's good nice hometown bar. I miss it. I live in Scottsdale most of the year and everything's a free-for-all. I don't care what bar you're in
Anyways, I can't say“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“Went for the first time and I can say the food was very good! The shrimp and grits had really nice flavor and was a perfect portion size. The place is cute but a bit on the smaller side. The service was good but not great..about average. All in all a good experience here and I live close by so will be going back!“

“Their customer service for catering was outstanding! Nikki and Kimmy went above and beyond and staff at pickup were equally as helpful. An "art" that seems rare these days. Every dish we ordered was delicious and disappeared quickly. Thanks again for a job well done! We'll be back.“

“So the sushi was really excellent. We got two different specialty rolls. You could tell the sushi was really fresh. We got delivery through Uber eats and everything was fresh just not hot because the Uber eats driver didn’t use a hot bag. The rock shrimp is not what you’d expect.. it was really tempura shrimp that was soggy.. I’d never get that again. The fried rice was great because healthy not greasy . Our son got the salmon sashimi and loved it. The soup was good but also done differently. I’d like to eat in because I feel like the sushi itself is worth it and would like to try the hibachi“

“My son and I stopped in on Sunday October 4 for the first time. We weren’t disappointed!! Nice clean tavern. Friendly bartender. Food was fantastic! Love my fries served hot. Even with the football games on the TVs my son and I could have a conversation and not be yelling over the volume. We will definitely come back. We appreciate the social distancing and the way the menus were tossed away.“

“Love Love Love Lorenzo's! (518 Foodies card holders get 10% off). They have the BEST breakfast! The home fries are to die for! The chorizo egg and cheese is also delicious! Really, you can't go wrong.“

“Fav ramen ! Server good and delicious taste!“

“My first time in Schenectady, such a great quaint town with tons of history. I was in town to meet with my daughter for dinner and they had the night market. I was with my pup chose this place for their and outdoor seating, they were very super friendly, the service is excellent and the food was delicious, definitely will be back.“

“Good food, not greasy. Best Chinese food in the area.“

“Their wanton soup has actual healing powers, I'm not even exaggerating. I don't care what illness you are suffering from, get the soup. It will cure you. Also they hands down have the best chinese food on the planet. Ive had friends stay with me from L.A. and they could not believe how good this food was. Just go here and be nice to the staff, this family has been serving Rotterdam for 30+ years. They deserve all the best.“

“Hubby brought home food from Karam yesterday for the first time ever...we were blown away! Fresh and absolutely delicious!! So glad hubby works in Schenectady we’ll be regulars! YUM!“

“excellent food and prices“

“We absolutely loved our food. It was amazing. Eggplant fries were really good. One of the best spanakopita & Rueben. We all got stuff and split it. Was really good. I really liked our waitress, she was sweet with my son. I enjoy waitresses that make you feel really comfortable and she did. This will be our new breakfast spot.“

“Loved the crust but wasn't overwhelmed with the complete flavor of a slice with tomato. Didn't realize that it didn't have tomato sauce too though or I would've made another choice. Actually, there's so many options but it's a guess what many are and I don't eat meat. I'd try this spot again!“
