50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lake Katrine

“Love it. But! The Kingston/Lake Katrine location is closing to the public next week. ☹️ It will be for production and staff only. Wouldn’t mind working there! ? I just love the cafe here, big, open space, delicious baked goods. I really think this big cafe idea is a good one, but I understand it might not be the priority as production and staff is important, of course.“

“Probably the best “upscale” restaurant in and around Woodstock. Great atmosphere, very Manhattan like, and you will also have to pay city prices. However, the food is totally worth it from the quality you get, preparation, presentation, and of course taste. The only thing that wasn’t my cup of tea was the rose water infused dessert. I’m not a big fan of “infused desserts” in general and also this one couldn’t convince me otherwise. Will definitely come back when in Woodstock! Also: make reservations. The place fills up even on a regular weekday.“

“We have been here many times and had excellent meals; tonight's was somewhat of a disappointment. Our waitress was excellent and listened at the end of our dinner to our disappointments and provided desserts, which we hadn't asked for, but was very sweet. But the young staff hovered and kept trying to rush us and take away our plates, which we were still working on. We asked them to "slow down" the service. We understand wanting turns but we felt too hurried to finish. The salmon was overcooked and an unappealing small tail piece. The other dish--shrimp with beans--was too many beans but tasty. We will return and hope for the five-star quality we have become accustomed to. Prices are fair for the portion size and overall quality. We also probably won't come again on a Saturday eve when it is so busy, which is great for the restaurant.“

“The Garden Café in Woodstock is an absolute delight! From the moment you step into their charming space, you're enveloped in the aroma of freshly prepared delights.Every bite is a burst of fresh vegetables, showcasing the care and attention to quality ingredients. Plus, the fact that it's dog-friendly makes it even more inviting for all members of the family to enjoy.The Garden Café never disappoints. With its vibrant atmosphere, summer garden seating and mouthwatering offerings, it's sure to become your go-to spot in Woodstock.“

“We recently had lunch in Rhinebeck, but my husband was determined to try Aba’s. After eating a modestly sized lunch elsewhere, we walked around and managed to get here right as they were closing, although they were polite enough to serve us. My husband got a falafel pita and I stupidly just got a few falafel. The falafel itself was probably the best I’ve ever had; they were incredibly flavorful, not dry at all, and with a bit of crunch. My husband’s falafel pita was divine. The falafel combined with everything inside and the sauces made me fairly jealous that I did not get one myself. The food was delicious and we appreciated the service and this will be our go to spot for this kind of food.“

“Cute little spot. We came in on a slow day and the service was awesome. They have an extensive craft beer selection. The meatballs are damn good! All the ingredients seemed very fresh. Including the pickled jalapenos on the sliders I tried.I'd probably go with takeout on a busy night. Worth a stop.“

“Came here for the first time. Will definitely be coming back. Really cute place, excellent service, nice people, lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed sitting outside in the garden. Recommend the chipotle bowl with the crispy chicken. The flourless chocolate cake and latte were excellent, too.“

“The last several flavors on the menu are always vegan. My daughter loves the Darkest Chocolate, which seems to be perennially available. Would be great to see a larger selection of vegan/plant-based flavors.Their ice cream is on the sweeter side. Personally, I’d be happy with less sugar.Expect a line, especially on warm evenings.“

“This was our second visit to Miss Lucy's. We were here in 2021 , too. We had the PLT which was like a BLT but with pork belly. It had a nice sauce on it. We had it with fries. We share the same with a bowl of tomato bisque. It was creamy and tasty. Don't miss it if you like tomato bisque. The homemade lemonade complements it will. We ended with sharing mocha crème d'pot. The creamy top was awesome for both of us. I am not a fan of coffee so I didn't eat the bottom portion of the dessert. The service was good and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting.“

“This is a definitely state-of-the-art restaurant. Everything we had was top-notch. The wine was perfect. The service was perfect. The atmosphere was perfect. The oysters were absolutely perfect. The lamb was perfect. And the facility was perfect.“

“The whole wheat Gramma crust alone makes this pizza a cut above but the variety of toppings is such a long list that it’s hard to choose! I enjoy the unusual ones they offer like eggplant and artichokes.The fried dough is a huge pile of fried to perfection bite sized pieces!“

“This place is great and I can't recommend it enough. Not only is the quality of food amazing but the staff and service have always been extremely friendly, welcoming with a non-pretentious attitude. This place is accesible for local Kingston residents, unlike some of the gentrification cafes that have popped up in recent years that cater strictly to tourists or recent, wealthy transplants. The prices here are actually fair- like it doesn't cost $12 for a breakfast sandwich with no meat on it- fair. Very clean and like I said, high quality taste in food. I always get a breakfast sandwich but their lunch options are great too. There is no better place to get a breakfast sandwich in Kingston. I love Fat Cat !“

“I stop here every now and then when I'm driving upstate to my brother's place by Rhinebeck. Him and his wife and kids (lots of kids) are all vegan, so I can generally get a good variety of treats for the house. The bakery products always look lovely and the store's overall aesthetic is very nice, but I find the actual taste and flavors to be very hit or miss- some things are excellent, some very mediocre- but there's so few vegan options upstate, so this spot is certainly filling a void. However, the staff very frequently are unwelcoming, sometimes to the point of outright rudeness. They seem to treat their paying customers in a very snobbish manner for some reason, which is unfortunate. I often walk out wondering why the overall experience was so strange, but I guess it's just something that you have to live with if you want to have a vegan dessert in the Hudson Valley.“

“I love soy, and I love this c o n g e e pop up. Yeah atmosphere is great it's a beautiful space. The hand plastered walls, the gracious bar.I love all the tiny little animals that the owner and her child have made that are nestled around the place.The wall art is great.The food is so nourishing, to both Body and Soul. I love all the cool events, rhetoric food, the Art, and the back patio is amazing.The back Garden is beautiful and peaceful. This is just one of my favorite places. “

“Stopped in here on a Wednesday around 12:30PM when I was just passing by the city. There was only one other couple in the restaurant eating when I got inside. It seems like they have a lot of interesting options but I just went for a double scoop protein bowl of tuna. It was kind of expensive for what you got out of it but it tasted fresh and the pineapple miso sauce was really good! The workers were extremely nice and it was overall a good experience!“

“We've moved to South Carolina from Saugerties. Excellent Bakery. The baker here, was at Lachmanns Bakery(that we miss)and then at Adams. We absolutely LOVE the Edelweiss coffee cake. We used to get it from Lachmanns, Adams andNow Meltaway.When we come up from SC, we always order to get some to take with us. home.“

“Huevos y frijoles are a staple for me; the homemade tortillas nourish my heart! I also love to shop for my groceries here, where I get 10% off by using the local currency, the Hudson Valley CurrentKid-friendliness: It’s a family vibe here. Often kids drawing on the chalkboard, folks playing piano and friends running into each other. Great community energy.“

“Good great experience at the original Mickey igloo. I always take my dog there after I bathe him in Port Ewen. I get a medium vanilla cone and I give him about a half a cup. That's his treat for being such a good dog while he was getting his It's so delicious I love soft, serve ice cream it's one of my favorite things in the whole world.“

“Delicious, different Mexican options. So many more I want to try! Lots for vegetarians. Great guac! Music could be a little less loud, but love the high ceilings. Generous portions and amazing tortillas!Vegetarian options: Eggplant with black beans and pickled onions torta is phenomenal and surprising!“

“Ummm, wow... I LOVE hidden gem restaurants, and this place is a hidden gem. Unassuming from the outside, the dining room opens into a large room with quaintly matched tables and chairs, brightly-colored vases, and rustic art on the walls. It feels like home... and the way Donna and Joe treated us was just like family.The lunch was incredible. The aptly-named 'crack sauce' delivered, a warm and spicy compliment to perfectly fried chicken. The apple slaw cooled things down just right.This will be our spot every time works brings us back to Kingston. Cheers!Kid-friendliness: The space and the staff are both conducive to children and animals.“

“Had the vegetarian Ruben sandwich and it was fantastic. The sauerkraut could maybe use a little more vinegar or mustard flavor, but that is literally my only issue and it's not even a real issue. Delicious food, friendly staff, and a great environment.“

“We had the family here for the first time last night. We started with the Calamari and the Housemade Ricotta. Both were wonderful. Then our party ordered The NY strip, the steak frites, a pecan encrusted rack of lamb (a special that night), the pappardelle bolognese, and the Burger. Everything was tasty and perfectly prepared EXACTLY as we ordered. The strip was between medium and medium rare and a high quality steak. The frites were perfect. The pappardelle was fresh made and the sauce outstanding. The lamb was served with a chimmichurri and had 6 chops that were excellent. The Burger was a sight to see. It was large and pink and great. Then we had practically one of everything for dessert which was the end to a perfect night. The service COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. We had one main server, Lily, who was professional and got everything right (Definitely ask for her) and a handful of other servers during the night that were attentive and professional. The kitchen is in full view of every table and was great to watch. The room was comfortable and the ambiance helped make the night special. Highly recommend this for a dinner you can count on as being one of the best.“

“We had a fantastic dinner there on a Friday night. We will definitely be going back and will be taking our friends when they come to visit! There are many options for dinner in the village of Woodstock and now The Millstream is one of the best!“

“Fresh Fruits He cuts up practically in front of you. Enthusiastic with customers and quite fast with ordering- payment to leaving. I only wish the Açai base was slightly less frozen and a little more smoothie like consistency, other than that great little place.“

“My boyfriend and I went today for lunch and some drinks. We both enjoyed the Asian wings, the flavor was different and quite good. He ordered a burger (topped with pepper jack and avocado, and cooked medium rare) with fries and enjoyed both. I ordered a short rib sandwich with fries. The fries were freshly cut, my favorite! And the short rib sandwich was so good that I only offered him ONE bite of it. The rest was for me ?. We both loved "the heartbreaker" cocktail, enough so that he ordered one for himself!The owner, I believe, was very attentive, chatted with us and gave our compliments to the chef!!Very cute little restaurant. Very cozy feeling as well. Can't wait to go back. ?“

“was there for an early dinner last Monday with some friends. I started out with a bowl of pasta fazool, which I have always loved and it hasn't changed in the many years since I have last been here. Delicious. I love calamari and have it every chance I get wherever I go, and this was great. cook perfectly and nicely seasoned. I had their special, sliced steak with a blue cheese sauce that was again cooked perfectly and truly delicious. great! mashed potatoes and the broccoli was done right. I actually wanted to try to get back before the specials changed. it was that good.“

“Just found this place. Was looking for German place that served pork hock. Did not disappoint. Chef seems to have a heavier hand with salt than I do. But the beer took care of that. Overall, everything was well done. Will keep in mind if looking for German food.“

“Lovely little gem in Kingston, some of the best food around; and undoubtedly the best ramen in the area. The ramen is some of the best I've had In my life, which is not surprising given the clear passion of the owner. This is one of the few places in Kingston me and my girlfriend frequent, the great food, service, and ambience always ensures we return.“

“Been getting sushi from Yasuda for years. Excellent in all regards. Quality, taste and service 10/10. We are fortunate enough to have great sushi in Kingston and this is one of the best spots to get it. I recommend getting the seaweed salad with every order. Staff are very sweet and always seem to be having fun.Dietary restrictions: Gf, V friendly“

“I've eaten here soooo many times I can't believe I've never written a review... even though, I've always recommended this place to people looking to Japanese Dining.Place is small but cozy... can get pretty packed and experience can get dampened by other loud and possibly obnoxious diners but that's often beyond the control of the restaurant.Street parking can be difficult as it's on a busy corner...Food excellent, service excellent... there's really nothing more I can say. The prices have been competitive even when seemingly everything else in the world has gotten more expensive.When the tea is good you know the place will be great....“

“Top shelf!!! We had a group of 17 for lunch. Everyone raved about the excellent food and the wonderful and friendly service. Our menu included London Broil, Salmon, Ceasars Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quiche with side salad. We had a variety of servings. Everything was sooooo good! Best restaurant in Kingston. We couldn't have chosen a better place.“

“One of my favorite places. The food is so unique and so tasty. The teriyaki tofu is to die for. The lotus buns and asian rice bowl (both with the tofu) are my go-tos. Great for take out/drive thru or dine in.Vegetarian options: Lots of options that can easily be made vegetarian/vegan“

“Good place for breakfast, especially when other options are closed during the week. Had the avocado toast and brioche French toast, both of which were super delicious. The only thing that wasn’t up to par were the pastries from Balthazar. The Danish that was sold to me was old, dried out, and also tasted as such. The note “you should heat it up” also didn’t help. I get that deliveries from the city are not coming in every day and things are not being baked fresh, but just put the old stuff away and mark it as unavailable.“

“Like many, I made the mistake of driving past this place about 100x before finally going in. Wow. Amazing goodies! Including an entire section of delicious grain and gluten free items! Hidden gems: the black and white cookies are some of the best i've ever had and the black and white "explosions" are some of the most interesting little treats i've found.“

“One of my favorite places to have breakfast on a Saturday morning is The Hudson Valley Dessert Co. Connie and everyone at the bakery always put love into everything they make! This morning I got an egg and Asiago sandwich with avocado and homemade sausage that they make there! It was (and always is,) delicious! I got a cup of hazelnut hot chocolate to have with it!(Please forgive the half-a-sandwich photo. I was so ready to eat it, I forgot to take a photo of the whole sandwich. ?)Kid-friendliness: The staff are so sweet and very interactive with not just my son, but all the other kids who come in as well! It really is a great place to bring the family for an amazing experience and a great treat!“

“Food was so awesome! We visited Tivoli for 2 nights and loved our meal at Santa Fe. Service was quick and Jordan was super friendly! Generous portions and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We loved our experience at Santa Fe Tivoli. Thanks!“

“My friend Alex is a regular and he got me out of the house for some lunch and he had me try his own menu item! Pesto Wings! Damn were they delicious!!!! I'm sure I'll be back with Alex again. I love this place. The food is great, the service is great, and the owner is awesome and very down to earth guy who is always approachable!“

“Was visiting saugerties for the weekend and was craving a burger. I'm so glad I found this place! Jerry the bartender was beyond attentive and friendly. The burger and fried cauliflower were so good! This is definitely a local type place but that is probably why I liked it to so much“

“i had a crispy delicious grilled cheese w/ avocado and onion and an excellent take on an all-time fav, chickpea tuna salad...plus sampled a bite of the day's dessert courtesy of the lovely owner! i was going for a little hike and it was the perfect lunch for a sunny day“

“A wonderful bistro that can provide a variety of needs: from a sandwich and coffee on the go to a catering order for a party. The food is such high quality and service is excellent. Try the Moroccan chicken salad wrap or the vegan thai-peanut wrap. You won't regret!“

“I got the small cheeseburger meal with hot fries. The burger is great! I really liked the texture and flavor and could've fooled me that it's not beef. The fries were ok. They were actually better cold. Service was fast and friendly. I hope they build more locations and maybe expand the menu!“

“This is one of out favorite restaurants bar none! Atmosphere service and food top notch. Elegant,friendly, delicious! Need I say more ?“

“When the music is not only fabulous, and there's no cover and the food is scrumptious- what a treat. This is a classy, fun place through and through. The Jazz brunch is a must. Staff and owner couldn't be nicer. They've also got thr coolest restrooms ever.“

“What a cute place. We got a beautiful loaf for farm sourdough, and some coffees. We didn’t plan on sitting down but service was so nice and we saw there was wifi. Decided to stay and do some work. The vibe was great, from staff and customers, so friendly. Ended up staying for an hour and bought a bunch of cookies which were so good! Place is very clean too:)“

“The hamburgers and fries are fantastic, but the cleanliness inside and outside the place leaves much to be desired. Also, the service from the blond girl at the counter could be improved. Next time, I'll probably just opt for takeout, as it seems to be what most customers prefer here.“

“A colleague and I had lunch at the Woodstock Pub recently on a social outing and it was terrific! The food was amazing and the service was spectacular! The Rumosa was incredible too - I would highly recommend! I had the Spanakopita and the Eggplant Rollatini - my colleague had the steamers and the lamb burger. All amazing, and huge portions!“

“The culinary delights at Hickory BBQ are simply exquisite. The staff consistently goes above and beyond, radiating warmth and attentiveness. With portions more than ample and prices unbeatable, you'll inevitably depart with a satisfying surplus. It's become our cherished tradition to gather here as a circle of friends, relishing every moment without fail.“

“Had to make a pit stop on my way home from Hudson to try this pizza I keep reading about online. The place is so cool. I had a vodka slice and pepperoni and jalapeño, both incredible. Definitely in my personal top 3 slices I’ve ever had. You gotta go here!“

“amazing ice cream!! i tried the banana cream pie, which was delicious, but ultimately purchased chocolate and salted caramel. maple flavor was out of stock and i’m so sad i wasn’t able to try it. not sure if i’ll ever end up in woodstock again but if i do this would be my first stop.“

“Diane specially made gingerbread cookies for our anniversary party, they were a hit with all attendees! And you must try the happy husband or one of the s’mores brownie bombe things! Always smells delightful in there-the cinnamon toasted pecans are “
