50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Manhattan

“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“Awesome food. I had with my friends“

“This açaí bowl is so delicious, and always seems to be made with very fresh ingredients. The açaí comes from a machine (like soft serve), which I feel gives a better consistency than some places that might blend it too thick or thin. Look, açaí bowls are expensive practically everywhere. Why not go somewhere like Oak Berry where you get UNLIMITED options?? So many great things to choose from here!

Vegetarian options: There isn’t any meat here. And although there are a few non-vegan options, almost everything is vegan as well.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free granola at no additional charge at this location.“

“Very delicious food for a great price. The location feels intimate without being claustrophobic, & the server was very sweet. So many yummy options we took forever choosing (a good thing) but settled on the BangBang Fish & the Seafood Drunk Man. Will be coming back ⭐️“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“Fantastic food, reasonable prices, excellent service. PS Kitchen sets the standard for manhattan eateries with a conscience and a heart … and the creativity of an experiential culinary artist. The vibe is great. The food is better. Highly recommend“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Went in not knowing what I wanted and I was not disappointed with the meal nor the suggestions.

I got the mushroom sandwich with a salad and my kind server recommended the Sorrel Iced Chai. Everything was amazing!

Also, I love the art & ambiance of the space! Will definitely return on my next visit to NY.“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“Best vegan pizza in NYC. I could have sworn I reviewed Double Zero before and now I’m wondering if the review disappeared because it was for their old location. They moved (on the same block I think?) into a place that looks a little tighter inside but had an outdoor seating.

Came with a party of 3 and sat inside for a quiet Saturday night dinner—interior seating was maybe half full and exterior seating was packed.

Warning interior didn’t have AC running.

Got two pizzas and jackfruit tacos

Jackfruit tacos: Good but lacked a sauce or spice that left it getting drowned out by the much more flavorful pizzas

Truffle cashew cream pizza: Excellent. Third time getting it and every time it’s been a hit. Flavorful spread of mushrooms on cashew cheese

Spicy Pepperoni Pizza: Pepperonis themselves quite good on a tomato, basil, cheese base. Note the pepperonis have coconut in them in case you’re allergic.

Also got two cocktails and a mocktail, but nothing to report there. My Moscow mule was largely ice.

Unfortunately, the owner is apparently a terrible person according to the April 22, 2024 NYTimes article, but the food is good especially for vegans.“

“Had the recommendation from the Off Menu Podcast. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing ramen.“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“This is a top-notch all-vegan place in Williamsburg. The food is creatively made with a subtle mix of flavors. The service, presentation, and atmosphere are also top-notch. The restaurant is classy and yet relaxed, a real treat in every way. 😀“

“We were celebrating a birthday with a group of six and the food was absolutely delicious! My personal favorites were the Soy Butter Bigoli, Mochi Bombolocini, Scallop, Rigatoni, and the Apple Pie. Most of the food was amazing. The service was fantastic – everyone was so attentive, helpful, and friendly. The atmosphere is super relaxed. I really loved the Umami in the Kenmare cocktail.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Got a burger and sweet potato fries and they were fantastic. All of the other menu items looked great too and I can't wait to try more of the menu next visit. Plus the service was quick and very friendly. Definitely recommend and will go again

Vegetarian options: Fully vegan menu“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“amazing place, we have a great dinner. thank you.“

“Exquisite food, atmosphere, and experience. 10/10 must try!!“

“This place was in my bucket list for a long time and it did not disappoint. I had a great time here! Service goes a long way too, our server was super knowledgeable and was able to talk about the ingredients with our omnivore friend at the table. Taste was incredible, if you like the science part of veganism and making things taste like other things you will be so impressed. It was a very flavorful meal. We ordered a bunch of things and they were all great, maybe my favorite thing was the sunny side up eggs on flat bread. I thought that was just so cool! The portions were very generous, we shared for 3 and we all ate more than plenty. I had a lovely time. It was the kind of food experience that I cannot wait to go again and order the rest of the menu because I am still so curious about all the other things that sounded good from it.“

“Highly recommended for vegans ❤️“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.“

“very good food excellent service great bbq fj“

“service was awesome, very attentive and very fast. The food was delicious 😋“

“This place is absolutely amazing. No one needs to tell you that but what’s really cool is that my wife and I went and I’ve been drying out this September but still wanted an experience of trying a bunch of craft cocktails. They killed it. Every drink was so cool and I even bought one of the bottles (photo). It’s just super cool for a place this famous and established to still have a commitment to service so high they’ll cater to some clown who wants to explore off-menu, zero proof cocktails. Well done Blue Hill team, well done.“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“A fully vegan Korean restaurant situated right in the heart of Manhattan?! My west coast heart is pounding in jealousy and longing to return once again. It's often very hard to find restaurants that serve fully vegan Korean food so the fact that this exists is truly special. A lot of items will be vegetarian at best so to be able to have an extensive menu to order from is a treat. My friends and I came here for lunch and were seated fairly quickly in their hip restaurant. I ordered a couple of things: - Combination Pancakes consisting of sweet corn cilantro, scallion & spicy kimchi offerings. This was their take on traditional Korean jeon and I didn't realize they'd bring out so many small pieces for the table. My favorite was definitely the sweet corn cilantro. - Crispy Korean Chili Tofu Lunch Special, which included a soup and salad of the day as well as two additional banchan (including a pancake!) The tofu was fried to sweet perfection and the chili sauce was top notch. There ended up being more than enough food just from this alone. I hope this spot sticks around because I'll certainly be coming back to fill my Korean cravings without needing to play around with the menu at other restaurants.

“Es el mejor, la atención, la amabilidad 💯“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“The food was good. I had a E-Classic“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“First time in Haidilao and I must say that it was a great experience! Our waitress, Iris was amazing! She really took care of us and was super attentive. Will definitely keep it in mind to come back once we are back in New York. Thank you so much Iris, you rock!!“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Fine dining with a flair was on offer and thoroughly enjoyed by all. There isn't much more to say. Experience it for yourself!“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Great ambience, excellent service and delicious soulful food. I had an amazing experience 👍🏼“

“I love a flavorful vegan burger that isn’t too heavily loaded with salt. The vegan hajji was packed with flavor and offered a healthier version to a chopped cheese. I enjoyed mine with the cassava fries that was a mix of slightly sweet and spicy served with the deuce sauce and garlic aioli. The cassava was very soft and not too chewy which made it easy to enjoy. Will definitely be back to try some secret menu options, but I can’t stop thinking about how much flavor the vegan hajji added to my palette.“

“Without question, my favorite vegan restaurant in NYC! The drinks, food, and desserts are all equally delightful. The portions are huge and an excellent value. Very thankful to have access to such masterfully created nutritious and delicious food.“

“This is an AHHHHMAZING place to eat! Huge, delicious menu and it's so great when I can get my faves and know the food is being made by people who care about the animal we share our planet with. Thank you for being vegan, Spicy Moon!!❤️❤️💯“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“Amazing experience! One of the best vegan entrees I’ve had in a long time“

“We went for my friend's birthday and had a wonderful experience. We both ordered pre-theater specials. I had calamari, chicken parmesan, and cheesecake. My friend had meatball appetizer, steak, and cheesecake. Both were terrific! And we ended the day with bonus cheesecake to take home for his birthday (and we got a song fest too!).“

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“I am so happy that they have an SOS menu. It was great to be able to relax and know that the kitchen welcomes my dietary preference. Thank you!

It seems that nearly everything is prepared to order, and as a result if coming here you should be prepared to possibly wait longer than most restaurants for your food to be ready.
I do wish there was a way for the restaurant to communicate this to avoid problems with new customers who may be expecting quicker service.“

“Whewwwwweee did I enjoy myself!

First of all, it's gorgeous, so sunshine-y and green. We sat at the bar and the service was great. We ordered the cantaloupe slushies and they were so, so good! They weren't overly strong + they mix them themselves, just a few ingredients. The guac was a little small but delicious. The pork tacos were pretty expensive for 2, I thought, until I tasted them. WOW, so good. We were so busy catching up, we didn't realize they'd closed to get ready for dinner. They emphasized we hadn't overstayed our welcome, we could stay as long as we needed.
And the disco-themed restroom + playlist? Excellente“

“Went here with my non-vegan brother for breakfast and we loved it! My brother lives nearby and he said he would definitely come back on his own for lunch, too which consider a huge compliment. We both got breakfast burritos and they were delicious. I do wish there was some kind of salsa option but the chipotle mayo was really tasty with it. It was very difficult to choose what to get because the whole menu sounds incredible. I was worried the food would be too heavy but there's a large selection of healthier looking options as well. And even the burritos were stuffed with fresh veggies which was a nice surprise. I also got a green smoothie (forget the name) with soy milk that was pretty nice“
