50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Penfield

“I asked them what could be made vegan from the vegetarian menu and they acted like it was a trick question. Got the massaman curry after checking for fish paste and eggs and our server said "it's vegetables only" - works for me! Curry was great, though I was so distracted that I forgot to up the spice level. Still delicious and warming without. $16 for a filling amount of curry plus green tea put me at ~$20.50 after tax; great prices.“

“Came to Dinner tonight to celebrate our daughter’s birthday , we are not from the area , she attends st.john fisher and we were looking for a good Italian Dinner.

“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“

“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.“

“Awesome family owned ice cream shop, in a beautiful walkable neighborhood. Friendly staff, good prices and large portions. Always busy, but service moves quickly. For events they also have a great ice cream truck that can come out offer ice cream on the go.“

“Not only were the employees very kind, the food itself was wonderful for my first visit. We also got one of the chocolate chip vegan cookies and it is EASILY the best cookie I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect to like it so much (I’m not even vegan! It just looks yummy 🤭). Lovely little place with adorable animal photos throughout also. Employee was kind when I asked for an explanation for them. Loved finding out it’s a community board of loved pets alive and those also lost. They stated the community could bring in a photo of their pet to place on the wall. Great to see that small moment of recognizing the community and being involved to create that memorial & funny moments for the animals! Thanks for a great experience. For sure will be back.“

“Clean and friendly atmosphere“

“Love this place! I just really wish they had a rewards system! The competition around Rochester has them and hydra is my favorite would love if this was added 😊“

“Service was phenomenal! Everything is homemade including drinks and is so delicious!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere.. I had the beet and greens salad topped with beef... was absolutely delicious“

“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.“

“service five stars food five stars my only compliant is 8.00 for a blue“

“fantastic!! Highly recommend!!“

“The food and drinks were delicious. 10/10“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food!! Always good service and only diner this side of ROC open past 2-3“

“I love the burgers here, and my dining companion raves about the pizza! Today I tried their version of Nashville chicken.

Way too much bun for the chicken, which was tasty but not special in its flavor. Nice and crunchy but bland. No kick at all. Way too many pickles - no problem, just picked a few off and ate a few separately. I usually really like their rosemary garlic fries. Today they were hard, cool and very salty. Surprising because they'd just opened.

Overall the customer service vibe was off today. Our server was excellent, however the way we were received could improve. I had planned to meet someone at 11:30 am. That's when they open, and trust me, not a minute earlier. As a matter of fact, 2 minutes late, with staff making sure to not make eye contact as they prepared. There was no seating outside the main entrance, situated within a mall. It was about to start raining, so it didn't seem wise to sit outside. Tough on those who cannot stand for long periods of time. When the staff finally unlocked the door, they just turned the bolt and walked away. I would've expected them to physically open the door and welcome the small crowd that had gathered.

It's never a good idea to assume that business will always be robust. A little friendliness goes a long way.“

“The building looks odd. When you enter there is a small vitamin shop before the restaurant section. That being said, all of the food here was tasty. We tried everything on the menu. My favorites in particular were the stew, risotto and the plantains. You really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Even the hot Chai was super good. This place is totally worth visiting.“

“A++ all around, staff knows what they are doing“

“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“

“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!“

“Consistently good“

“One of my kids has pretty intense food anxiety and basically is only comfortable eating chicken fingers and fries when we go out to eat. Making it hard on the rest of the family as that limits our dining choices often. We were really excited to find the kids menu here. The sushi, ramen, AND chicken fingers and fries were all excellent, the prices and portions are good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.“

“Affogato is very good and very good atmosphere“

“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.“

“Part of my birthday present from my wife. Just a wonderful experience. We booked a full hour and it went by fast. Lovely kitties looking for forever homes (we wish we could take another one in right now). Will be back to get and give more kitty love.“

“Best Indian food I’ve ever had, hands down. I come in pretty regularly to get my fix!! Nicest owners too, highly recommend! The lunch buffet is The Best Ever!“

“Fantastic, natural, fresh food, no matter what dish you have, always delicious! Been a customer for four years. Will not disappoint!“

“10/10 recommend! Had the best time with our kids this afternoon. Food, games, fun drinks. Everything was amazing! Thanks for a great Saturday afternoon 🙌🏻“

“I just adore this place and frequent it when I visit Rochester. You can park free just to the side of the shop or park on the street in front or across.

If you’ve a larger order just give them a call and they’ll prep it for your arrival. The folks that work there are super kind and helpful.

The vibe in the shop is just wonderful. Between the whirring of blenders and conversation you can spot a lot of uplifting thoughts to bring joy.

The smoothies and juices are honestly out of the world! There’s something for everyone and if you’ve don’t know where to start, just ask. By far these have been my favorite smoothies in my global journeys! Good ingredients, no added sugars, and masterfully done.“

“Came in to explore from Pennsylvania and chose this brewery at random. Great vibes and even better food/beer. Had a great selection of more than just IPAs or sours, which most breweries have fallen into this habit, and the wings were some of the best we have ever had in our lives. Such an incredible / original sauce!“
