50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New York

“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.“

“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.“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“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“

“Lively, old NY vibe with great food and attentive service. I was able to get a table for one in the middle of the day on a Friday. Ordered the Minetta Burger, cooked to a medium temperature. Slightly more red than I’m used to, but likely correct. More fries than I needed. Really yummy! Would go again.“

“Loved our dinner. Sat at the counter and completely enjoyed the experience.“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“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.“

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

“We were fortunate enough to get in while visiting NYC. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We had a Margarita with Calabrian chilies. The pizza was even better than we hoped it would be, it was better than many of the pizzas we've had in Naples. This really is world class pizza. It's worth the effort to visit.“

“Easily one of the best meals of my life! Crazy creative! Only 16 seats, very special in all ways.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“authentic! great presentations and great flavors“

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

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

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

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

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“Amazing South Indian food, relaxed vibes and friendly staff“

“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“

“Surprising, young, exciting. This is highest quality fine dining beyond the old-fashioned standards of usual haute cuisine restaurants. The atmosphere here is a much welcomed change to the landscape of Michelin restaurants.

We dined here as a couple. We had the chefs tasting menue and shared one wine pairing with an extra by the glass champagne. It was an extraordinary culinary experience. The quality of food and drinks is of highest standard. The devotion and passion of the team in the kitchen and service are outstanding.
Sitting on high chairs at the counter observing the chefs prepare your meals creates an intimate almost casual atmosphere and makes you appreciate the food and wine even more.

The amount of food and drinks served was perfect for us. The wine pairing is fun and well worth the money with great stuff such as Dom Perignon and an older wine vintage 1994.

The only thing not ideal for us was the relatively low room temperature. So make sure you bring a jacket or pashmina to fully enjoy if you get cold easily.

What this young team has already achieved is incredible.
We hope to come back many times.“

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

“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.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you are a fan of omukase and barbecue, I highly recommend this Michelin star yakitori omukase. The unique course consists of different parts of the chicken on skewers as part of a 13 course menu with a delightfully unique charcoal flavor from Kishu, Japan and combined with traditional Japanese hospitality, respect and craft, this place was certainly worth the price. The meatball  and chicken oyster skewers were absolutely delicious, meanwhile the broccoli and sweet potatoe were pleasant surprises,  and the herbaceous, flowery yet refreshing shiso sorbet was simple and amazing. Absolutely exquisite on all the senses and an exceptional dining experience. I will certainly return. Reminded me so much of Japan. Well done!“

“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!“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Muy buena cena, ambiente cool y buenas combinaciones. Por ser de un uruguayo mezclaría algo simbólico de allá en el menú, un guiño. Me gusto ir.“

“Great French place. Tough to get in. Go early.“

“Ricoooooo los tacos y quesadillas! Se hizo poca fila. Atienden rápido. Nos encantó!!!“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience. Food was amazing. Service was enough to keep you happy, but not intrusive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“New York is one of the world's great cities, a global center for media, entertainment, arts, fashion, research, finance and trade. This busy, modern city is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the world and the most populous city in the United States.“

“Every dish is creative, and it will make your taste buds feel different.“

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

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

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“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.“
