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.“

“Curried goat patties, Snow Crab entree, best hummus dish ever and inventive strawberry short cake riff. Chill music vibe. Knowledgeable and attentive and most importantly genuinely friendly staff. Love this place.“

“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“

“This place is insanely delicious and the service is absolutely phenomenal. I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite dish from the dinner menu but a few that were extra were the carrot cone, the eggplant corndog, and the tomato with smoked cheese donut. I love that there are some proteins in the dishes like tofu and beans to make a fully vegetarian menu very satisfying. Also, the mocktail with beet and yuzu was amazing. I cannot wait to come back.“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“Jambalaya arancini: A+. Get this.
Southern Fried Lasagna: B+. Tbh would've preferred this not fried
Jerk Mac and Cheese: B-. Vegan Mac and cheese is hard. This one was at least pretty creamy.
Biscuits and Gravy: C. The biscuits were dry and doughy. Gravy was nothing special.

Wish I tried the grits and the palm cake.“

“This was our first fine dining and first Michelin-starred restaurant experience. It could not have been more comfortable and easy for a first-timer to this scene. We both got drinks, the pull-apart pistachio bread, and the 3-course prix fixe restaurant week menu. Value was great. Quality of the food was top-notch. Service was excellent. The place was probably too refined for us and our palate, but it delivered even to us from flyover countryside. Really happy with our experience here.“

“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.“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Kimika! The Japanese-Italian fusion dishes were bursting with umami in every bite. We enjoyed the uni toast, Hamachi collar, Uni pasta, scallops, arancini, and the matcha mochi French toast—everything was perfect! The staff were friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to come back!“

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

“Thank you to Nina, the kitchen, and the entire team for an idyllic lunch on the patio. The service was charming and invisible, the outdoor space was as restorative as ever, the Diet Coke perfectly chilled, and the steak au poivre were a wonderfully tender piece of beef, thoroughly dressed with peppercorn. The fries were hot, and the greens were energizing. I'll be back again next week!“

“Started with the arancini which was amazing. Super crispy and flavorful. We got the pasta as well and it was some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The Cacio e Pepe was my favorite. The chicken was incredibly moist with crispy skin. Highly recommend the is restaurant“

“Fantastic meal! All the ingredients were sooo fresh you could tell they grew it instead of sourcing like other restaurants. Especially in peak of summer, the vegetables and berries were so sweet and clearly vine ripened. Going to start coming often for date night!“

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“authentic! great presentations and great flavors“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Amazing atmosphere, professional staff, food full of authentic Georgian taste )“

“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.“

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

“Another fantastic dinner at PS Kitchen. Highly recommend the Thai Chili wings, crabby cakes and Brussel Sprouts. Our table also had the Linguini Alfredo, Cesar wrap and the Thai Sweet Chili Sandwich. We didn’t like the pretzel bun but otherwise everything was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are friendly and we did not feel rushed. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.“

“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.“

“I have their cookbook so wanted to try them. It was a solid ramen place but compared to other options in NYC I wasn't raving about it.

Very nice atmosphere and vibe however. The spicy wasn't very spicy and I'm not the biggest fan of heat.

Kid-friendliness: It was very low key, though there's not a lot of diversity in the menu. It'd be great for kids as long as they like the food so check the menu first. There was no kids menu.“

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

“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!“

“Hopping vibe here at Forgione.
Aged Tuna Crudo starter special very good.
Halibut on cauliflower purée absolutely excellent.
Lamb Roundhouse with lamb neck croquettes soooo unique.

Highly recommend.“

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

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

“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!“

“This was a culinary experience. I can't go into details, it's worth your discovery, and menus are available on line and they are seasonal. If this restaurant is in your price range or for a very special date I would recommend it. All the dishes we had were exceptional and like nothing we've had before. Same for the cocktails. Le Jardinier is, indeed, a garden of delights.“

“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“

“Great to see a vegan italian restaurant! Double zero has great service, the staff gave us some good recommendations! The quantity was also more than enough. Will come back here to try some more items.

We had the -
1. Truffle Mushroom Pizza : The crust was perfect
2. Cacio e pepe : 9/10
3. Cheesecake : 8.5/10

Place is open till late which is a huge plus !“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“If you’re looking for chicken parm or that type of Italian food, then this is not the place for you. That being said, the food is INCREDIBLE and the execution is superb. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate, which was 5 different plates we shared. The portions are smaller but honestly I liked leaving not feeling disgustingly full. Now I know why I see this place on the list of best Italian restaurants in NYC - highly recommend!“

“Loved everything about it! We sat at the bar, Justin was fantastic. Friendly people and great food!! Highly recommend.“

“Well, I guess now that Pete Wells is leaving The Times, I'll have to fill his boots. This restaurant is good.

People who didn't grow up in Texas, probably including much of the staff (who were so very accommodating when I visited), won't fully appreciate the right or wrong notes in the ambiance of this place. They probably won't order a Lone Star, either. But presumably they'll enjoy the food, which is pretty dead on. (I haven't yet tried the kolaches, which are easy to screw up, but the kitchen's care in all other areas suggests that they can get them right.)

I'm a bit of a snob, it's true, especially for someone who has forsaken the place where he was raised. Still, go listen to Jerry Jeff Walker and you'll know how sentimental central Texans can be, and how much we long for a taste of home. He was a carpetbagger, too, from New York. This stuff goes both ways.“

“Thank you for accommodating a large party- I brought some coworkers to this restaurant and we found the atmosphere to be perfect: sleek and relaxed but not too moody or sexy. (whew!)

However, this meant that we had to do the family style tasting menu. Overall the food was interesting and tasty, but I noticed that a lot of the other signature dishes folks really like were missing from this menu. Memorable appetizers. All other courses were nothing to write home about.“

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

“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.“

“Great food. Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Love everything at this place!“

“Excellent service, and the food is fantastic! I'd recommend a reservation on weekends as they get very busy. And note that they close at 3:30 and reopen at 4:30pm. We tried some appetizers, and they were all so good! But the branzino dishes and the braised beef were so delicious. I'm definitely coming back to try something else. The only thing is that the noise level in the restaurant is rather high, in terms of people talking over each other as it is such an open space.“

“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!“

“The food wasn't my cup of tea but it was an interesting adventure. Food is inexpensive and there's thus an opportunity to try a few different dishes and share with your group as well. Food allergy aware but communication is challenging.“

“The best homemade udon in town , strongly recommended“

“I great food and service. High quality land authentic.“

“lots of food for a good price!“
