50 Best Vegan Restaurants in New York

“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.“

“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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“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“

“absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

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

“Iconic. Feels like the movie The Menu but excluding all the bad parts. Staff noticed my partner was obsessed with their bread and surprised us afterwards with bread to take home! I softly mentioned I was interested in the sorbet and our waiter walked by confirming that I wanted the sorbet. How he heard that I have no idea, but this was some of the most attentive service I have ever received! Also their salad-esk appetizers are phenomenal. Treat yourself to this culinary delight.“

“The food here is amazing, and the staff are great. I can’t recommend it enough. Unfortunately, the Facebook rating system for restaurants is focused mostly on the wrong things, likely due to poor algorithm design. Curbside pickups? Daily specials? Takeaway menu? Grow up, Facebook.“

“The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.“

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

“Good food, but nothing worth waiting hours for in the rain, like many people were. Broccoli rabe and tonarelli cacio e pepe were great. We were seated at the window, and a homeless guy came right up and started staring at us, but the server was very nice and got him to leave.“

“Went to Orchard townhouse on a Monday with my bestie she got a glass of cab sauv and I got chamomile fields, which I loved. For appetizer we got the prosciutto & stracciatella, which was fantastic! Lastly, we split the burger and the kale Caesar. They were nothing to write home about but good nonetheless. I loved the vibe in this place it was cozy and intimate. I will say my only complaint is we felt a little rush towards the end and that surprised us since the place was no where near closing nor was it busy.“

“Absolutely loved Forsythia for a date night!

Gorgeously designed menu.

Great service - attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The focaccia is delicious - recommend the honey butter, olive oil & ricotta to accompany. We split the beet salad and arancini - only call out was the prosciutto on the beet salad was “fried / crispy” vs fresh. For pastas we ordered the lasagna which is a MUST order - perfectly crisp, and the agnolotti short rib pasta. I did not love the agnolotti - would try a different pasta next time. For dessert we had the stracciatella gelato - so yummy and perfect palate cleanser. Must order.

The vibe of the restaurant was so cute - brick walls, intimate, warm, inviting. Even the candle in the bathroom smelled like a wood cabin campfire - invoking a comforting, home-like atmosphere.“

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

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

“სასიამოვნო ინტრიერი, მეგობრული გარემო, უგემრიელესი კერძები.. რეკომენდაციას ვუწევ 100 % ❤️🇬🇪“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“Great and delicious pizza, excellent friendly customer service and cool space.“

“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“

“Ordered a pepperoni and the truffle cashew cream. I enjoyed the truffle pizza more. Ordered via UberEATS and unfortunately the delivery guy put my pizza in a backpack vertically. This of course made the pizza look like a mess. Still good though.“

“abcV - (address 38 E 19th St, New York, NYC) phone: 212-475-5829 abcV is a phenomenal restaurant. The food was mouthwatering, brilliantly crafted, and delightfully health-giving. Having dined at some of the finest restaurants around the world, we find that this spot rivals, and in many cases surpasses, all others. Our most recent visit was a mid-morning couple’s dining stop—our answer to a calling to bring pure health and exquisite taste into our bodies and souls. abcV was the perfect answer. We indulged in the unique “Pollen” smoothie (pollen, jungle peanut butter, dates, banana, almond milk, Himalayan salt). I can’t emphasize enough how delicious this chilled and creamy culinary delight was! Served elegantly in a cabernet-style wine glass, I could immediately feel my cells rejuvenate with this healthy creation. The warm vegan croissant was also lovely, with just the right amount of flakiness, perfectly paired with homemade apple butter—yum! Another ‘must-have’ highlight was abcV’s take on Avocado Toast, enhanced with Virgin Coconut & Argan Oils, Crunchy Seeds, Cumin, Sprouts, and shaved carrots. Wow! Thank you, abcV! We can’t wait to return!“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“Great food. Great presentation. Very attentive service!“

“My god this place is amazing I ate here 3 times last week alone.“

“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!“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Le Jardinier. The food from appetizers to entree to dessert was beautifully plated and excellently prepared. My duck entree was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and among the most tender I have had, and the blend of carrots and carrot purée, orange reduction, and wine sauce worked perfectly. The chocolate cremeaux was delicious - chocolaty yet light. Notably, the vegan ice cream was superb - I would not have known it was vegan if they didn’t say so. The service was very attentive and thorough, although the waiter was a bit inexperienced about the food. They were very generous helping us celebrate our anniversary, which I really appreciated.

Dietary restrictions: One member of our party has celiac disease, and they were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Cool place and enjoy the food, drink , enironment.“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Made a special celebration that much more momentous. Do not skip the prosciutto with ricotta or octopus apps-delicious!“

“great place located in Brooklyn. come out and support!“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“I typically avoid writing restaurant critiques, given my years of experience in the industry. However, my recent visit to Gramercy Tavern compelled me to share my thoughts due to the disappointing experience. I was excited to dine at the bar after waiting half an hour for a seat. I ordered my usual drink, appetizer, and main dish, knowing the restaurant’s reputation for excellence. However, things took a turn when I stepped away to use the restroom. During that brief moment, my belongings—two bags—were removed and given to the coat check staff without my knowledge. When I returned, I was unceremoniously escorted to the exit, which left me confused and uncomfortable. At the reception, I tried to express my concerns, but the staff was dismissive. I requested to speak with a manager, but the coat check attendant firmly stated there was nothing to discuss and closed the door in my face. This treatment was not only unprofessional but also disheartening, especially after spending $145 on my meal. It’s unfortunate that a great dining experience was overshadowed by poor service and a lack of accountability. I hope the management reviews this situation to prevent it from happening to others in the future.“

“Came here with friends who are locals because this is one of their favorite spots. The restaurant itself is small and very well decorated to fit the tex-mex theme.

We thought service was okay - we ordered chips and queso, 2-3 tacos per person, and later some corn bread. It felt like we watched tables who ordered after us all get their chips first while ours came out slow with no spacing between the appetizer and tacos.

For the food, the flavor of the beer queso was very good. I tried the bean and cheese taco and chicken verde taco which were equally 4/5. The star of the show was the tortillas which were excellent. We also had the cornbread which was a very good balance of sweet and salty between the caramelized walnuts and salty butter.

My wife had the barbacoa taco and papas tacos which were both only okay taste wise . They do really loaf up all the tacos with a large amount of filling which is nice.

We were a bit confused when asked about allergens - we mentioned that my wife has a peanut allergy to the server and their response was if it is okay for there to be potential cross contamination where peanuts could get into the dish on a shared prep space, which is not our general familiarity with cross contamination risk, this would just be containing peanuts. We were confused how to answer and they did tell the kitchen about the allergy for us but my wife was eating nervously the whole time waiting to see if she would have a reaction or not. More confidence in the answer from the server would have helped.

I’d come back for the quesadillas and corn bread.

The bathroom is clean, make sure to respect the pillsburry dough man tribute 🙃! (see photos)“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“This is my favorite Thai spot in the city!

I went there a couple of times and tried a lot of different dishes, they all exceeded expectations.

My favorite dishes are the green curry and the pad thai, they also have a delicious Thai ice tea slush.“

“My new favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing.“

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“While in Chinatown, we found this small, charming restaurant with excellent ratings, so we decided to give it a try. The place was packed, and although we wanted a booth, we couldn’t sit there since we were only two people. The service wasn’t the friendliest, possibly due to a language barrier, but the food made up for it.

I’m not usually a fan of Chinese food, but my boyfriend is, and I’m glad we stayed—the food was delicious! The menu had photos and numbered items, making it easy to order. I’ve included photos of what we tried. Highly recommended if you’re in Chinatown!“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“
