50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Penfield

“I have worked with Joey’s at weddings a couple times now and they are consistently a pleasure! Fast service, hot food and a friendly staff- what more could you ask for?! This past weekend we worked a wedding where it was pouring rain right during dinner service and the guests experience didn’t suffer at all because the staff knew exactly what to do and kept the food coming. If you’re looking for a food vendor for your wedding or event, please check these guys out - they are a class act!“

“This is the best restaurant in Rochester! Quiet atmosphere but more than family friendly. The food is out of this world and the staff is kind and responsive. We've been going as a family for at least 10 years and they have watched my children grow not only in size but I'm they're willingness to grow their taste buds! We try to go at least once a month but we'd be there every weekend if we could! Reasonable prices for exceptional eats!“

“Service was great and quick, food was delicious…just was unaware they did away with the kid night. Kids dish was still reasonably priced but definitely a bummer in the moment.“

“I recommend Panera in general but definitely not the Penfield Location. I am currently waiting for a smoothie & I hear them talking about how they shouldn’t have to clean out their blender after making a mango smoothie. I am deathly allergic to mango and the way they are talking about it absolutely horrible. Like yes I want that cleaned out so I don’t die“

“Red Fern has been my favorite restaurant for 9 years now. It is literally the best food I have ever eaten, no other restaurant compares in my book. My favorite meal ever is the Mac and Cheese Nachos, best thing I've ever eaten but I also love the compost plate, the Buffalo bleu, steak bomb, baked Mac, flatbreads and omg the jam bars 🤤“

“The best vegan pizza and fried dough! And friendly service. Can't wait to go back!“

“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.“

“Visited Strangebird today. And the atmosphere is great! Full service bar. Or tables available for larger groups. The food amazing. Our bartender Dee was epic!! Had the smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. A phenomenal pairing Tried the bbq spaghetti which nearly blew me outta my seat!!! The bbq sauce was epic! @strangebird you need to shrink the size of the bbq spaghetti to a fries size and server them with the handhelds in place of French fries with that bbq sauce. Cuz heck yes! That bbq sauce on the side as a dipper 🤩🤩🤩. Great job to the staff. Bigger vehicles might wanna park on the street. If it’s busy, the parking lot is very narrow.“

“Great flavors, awesome environment for family and friends and very pet friendly as well!“

“Hands down my favorite korean/restaurant in general in the roc area. I’ve been coming here consistently for over 6 years now. I am korean, and this is closest to my grandmothers cooking. I cannot say good enough things about this place. The servers are great, the food is delicious every single time, and the restaurant is cute/cozy. You get what you pay for and more, portions are huge.“

“Found this randomly when I was traveling. Stopped because of the awesome name, and it certainly was Naan-tastic! Had a Tikka paneer rice bowl, and it was so delicious. My only complaint is you don't have locations in Massachusetts where I live ❤️ 1,000 Stars!“

“Amazing food! Amazing staff! They’re willing to tell you everything about a dish if you’re curious. And sweet tamarin sauce should just be on everything you ever eat!“

“Holly made cupcakes for my bridal shower a couple years ago and I just reordered for my baby shower. The cupcakes are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten, hands down! My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter but we also had lemon raspberry and funfetti, they were all so delicious! They were also adorable and fit the theme of the shower perfectly!“

“Consistently awesome. The food is great, the prices are good and the staff is always kind. Additionally, there are tons of vegan and vegetarian options.“

“My girlfriends and I love going to Original Steve's Diner in Victor. The restaurant has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell the staff really loves their jobs and they give excellent attention and service to patrons. The owner John and his wife Elizabeth have truly mastered the art of upscale diner cuisine. Although many people love the ultra delicious pancakes, I was ecstatic when they added crepes. The cheesecake crepes with berries paired with a side of bacon are the perfect pairing of sweet and savory. I will definitely be a regular customer.“

“Excellent food quality and so flavorful!“

“we sat outside and the place is very clean and well kept. server was excellent and very nice. my BF ordered the burger and i ordered the fried chicken plate. it came with a delicious carrot salad on the side and honey to dip my tenders in. sooo delicious! im not big on chicken tenders but this plate was well worth it. the burger was a big size also“

“I've eaten here 4 times this week lol. There's a reason why the ratings are so high - the food is exceptional, it's affordable and the service is good. I've been ordering the chicken shwarma pitas and occasionally the baklava. Both are out of this world“

“I LOVE this place. Create a pizza is my all time favorite spot. I’ve been coming here for years and I recommend it to every person I come across. Especially those with dietary restrictions. The food is always delicious, there are always friendly smiles behind the counter, and the prices are pretty unbeatable. Hands down, best pizza joint in Rochester.“

“Three of us just finished dinner at Sinbads and it was marvelous! We had a pasta dish, a salad platter and a pizza and they were all equally delicious. The service was excellent as well. We look forward to returning, especially during warmer weather.“

“Had a great experience at The Cub room! My 1sr time there. Highly recommend it. Best hollandaise sauce I’ve ever had!!“

“I’ll preface this by saying that I’ve had garbage plates from Dogtown & Nick’s (the OG). I got a half-plate, which was still a huge portion weighing probably four pounds, with mac’n’homefries and cheeseburger topped with the cinnamon (mild but tasty) meat sauce and “a little bit” of onions, mustard, and ketchup. This was BY FAR the most delicious garbage plate I’ve ever had. I will ABSOLUTELY be coming back here. And it’s less than a 10-minute, quick’n’easy drive from Rochester General Hospital (so skip the Wolfgang Puck despite the convenience). I will add that the young woman who took my order was kind and friendly. The meal “to-go” was ready in less than 4 minutes. And the food was delicious, not at all greasy—literally PERFECT“

“Our go-to for sushi and Asian pear martinis.“

“Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life it is so so soooooooo good it is almost orgasmic, just thinking about it I am drooling 🤤 a mist try if you are a cheesecake fan ! Also tried the banana bread it is really yummy and those ginger turmeric bar are also really yummy. The bread is different a little like a pumpernickel I really liked it ! Love this place it’s one of the hidden gems of ROC glad we tried it ❤️“

“Jess was great adding cinnamon to my wife's apple pie mule when they were out of an ingredient and it was awesome. The food was to die for, it just doesn't get any better. Thank you Jess for making a perfect experience bettrr.“

“Happy Gut Sanctuary is a relaxing space to gather with friends or have a relaxing moment to yourself. The vibes are impeccable. The staff is friendly, caring, and attentive. The beverages are to die for—and you can even do a little shopping on top of all of that! Highly recommend—there is something for everyone !“
