50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New York

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

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“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.“

“Amazing food, service, and ambience! The braised pork belly was delicious, and the staff both friendly and professional!“

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

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

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

“এই রেস্তোরাঁটি খুবই যুক্তিসঙ্গত মূল্যে অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে সুস্বাদু খাবার সরবরাহ করে। পরিষেবাটি অসাধারণ, এবং সামগ্রিক অভিজ্ঞতা অসাধারণ। দাম সাশ্রয়ী রাখার পাশাপাশি এত উচ্চ মানের খাবার বজায় রাখার জায়গা খুঁজে পাওয়া বিরল। নিঃসন্দেহে, এটি আমার অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে সেরা রেস্তোরাঁগুলির মধ্যে একটি। This restaurant offers incredibly delicious food at very reasonable prices. The service is outstanding, and the overall experience is wonderful. It is rare to find a place that maintains such high quality while keeping prices affordable. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever experienced.“

“Great Restaurant Week Dinner. We have been to about 10 different restaurants for this year's restaurant week and Essex was far and away the best. The wagyu tartare was fantastic as was the grilled shrimp over polenta. Petite filet mignon had a $10 ucharge bupt was well worth it. The space was beautiful and our server, Jenna, was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing, unique and delicious food in a very cozy setting. Be prepared to meet your neighbors as you adventure through one delicious plate after another.“

“My family and I were so impressed with Minetta’s. We came for the food and history and left feeling like we just had one of the best nights in New York. Our waiter was spot-on excellent, quick, concerned, and at the ready for anything our group needed. Every dish was wonderful. I wish we could have stayed longer and had yet another course, but we split due to theater plans. This wasn’t our first trip to Minetta’s and won’t be our last.“

“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“

“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“

“Great late lunch on a nice spring day. Moules Frites were excellent“

“The food is delicious😊“

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

“Fast service, good food..“

“Perfect crew, perfect food! Many thanks to Piero and all his colleagues.“

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

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“Briken was great! I order a chocolate martini and it was very good. He was kind and attentive even when opened my wallet and change fell out. He was quick to help pick it up. I finished the night dipping my complementary potato chips that are house made in my chocolate martini“

“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.“

“Last night We came to eat at Mission Ceviche for the first time and we left very happy for the incredible quality of food and service. 100% recommended with a tremendous desire to return soon. Good service and everyone very friendly I had a very wonderful birthday.“

“Perfect crew, perfect food! Many thanks to Piero and all his colleagues.“

“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.“

“Food was great and service was very quick. Nice ambiance as well.“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Blue Hill is a basement restaurant on Washington Place in the West Village that has been making a quiet, serious argument for farm-driven cooking since 2000. Dan Barber built both this and the more celebrated Blue Hill at Stone Barns around the idea that what a farm produces, including the things farmers can't sell and the parts of animals that restaurants typically skip, is the most interesting starting point for a kitchen. The room is intimate and warm with exposed brick and low ceilings and the kind of hush that comes naturally to a place below street level.

The menu changes constantly based on what's coming in from the farm that week, which means specific dishes are beside the point and the philosophy is the whole experience. The vegetable preparations here are consistently the most memorable thing on the table, roasted and sauced and composed in ways that make you rethink what a vegetable dish is supposed to accomplish. A roasted beet with something fermented and something creamy alongside was the kind of course that arrived looking simple and tasted like a lot of thinking had gone into it. The grain dishes are another area where the kitchen's sourcing shows most clearly, ancient varieties with textures and flavors that supermarket grains don't carry. The roasted chicken when it's on the menu is the comfort dish the room earns, properly golden and served with vegetables from the same farm. Desserts are restrained and seasonal and land cleanly after a meal that has been building toward them.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“The flavors were sublime, I can see why so many chefs recommend it!“

“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!“

“Too bad there aren’t more stars to click on. As a Sicilian/Italian every time I go to an Italian restaurant I have to always settle for the close enough. Not this time at Piccola Cucina Estiatorio, 71 Thompson Street NYC. After seeing their extremely authentic Sicilian menu online I knew that it had to be the real thing. After easily reserving a table online we showed up with yes our hopes being very high. For the first time the food was everything I had hoped for. 1. Arancini: nicely crunchy and flavored. Not oily or old at all. 2. Grilled veggies: although simply presented they were really tasty and fresh. 3. Involtini: out of this world. Exactly made like in my town in Sicily. A Moist, tender, flavored with some really tasty mozzarella cheese, served on a nice bed of caponata. 4. Maccheroni alla Norma: finally my very favorite dish. I almost cried. Besides a fantastic pasta, rigorously cooked al dente, there was a more than generous amount of diced eggplant, obviously, with basil leaves, olive oil and everything the Mediterranean has so generously given to Sicily for thousands of years. It’s worth mentioning the more than welcome grated “ricotta salata” as a testimony to the high attention to detail of Chef Gioele. That was a dinner I will not easily forget. The last thing I want to say is that, according to the highly professional and attentive staff, almost every single ingredient in this restaurant is flown directly from Sicily including the very tasty cannoli filled with ricotta cheese. (The cheese flies frozen during shipping). Sorry for the long review. I only wanted to show my super happiness with this restaurant. ANGELO.“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

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

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

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

“We decided to try someplace new because of restaurant week. My goodness, what a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious but I have to say the service is what made it especially outstanding. We had a wonderful waiter named John who really made the evening very special for us. We will definitely be back!“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Fantastic pizza spot in NYC. Make sure you get there early (at least 30 min before opening) so you have a minimal line to wait in. It was quite chaotic once they opened. Fully recommend the buratta pizza slice and the truffle slice . I would put this pizza spot in my top 5 rankings of all time (behind eg. Sallys, Modern, and John of Bleecker street)“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“The tacos were delicious! I especially recommend trying the Nopal Taco if you’ve never had cactus before,it was one of my favorites. The horchata was also really good; it’s a sweet drink made with rice and cinnamon, and definitely worth trying. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved very quickly. We only waited about 7–8 minutes. Overall, it was a great experience!“

“A chic bar with elegant Gatsby themed vibes throughout.“
