50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Rochester

“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.“

“Delicious food with reasonable prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful interior design!“

“This was our first time trying The Gate House and we were impressed! We came on a Thursday afternoon with no reservation and were seated right away. Our server was prompt and attentive immediately and continued through the duration of our meal. We tried the Xerox pizza as well as the Duffy burger and both were 10/10! Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend!“

“Excellent food quality and so flavorful!“

“It was apparent that the new owner Vickie wants to change the whole vibe and not for the better. She could care less about accomadting you with options & if you have any food allergies. I do not recommend Nosh, not the same restaurant and feel its a turn for the worst. One out of the four meals one was acceptable we had 12/14/2023.The waitress very sweet but felt she was as frustrated as we were. Vickie the owner made no effort to accommodate us and was almost rude.I will pass this along, is a small coummiity in Rochester. Any postive reviews you read are prior to Vickie taking over restuarant.“

“The atmosphere and food is so good. Excellent service and wonderful dining experience all around.“

“Jessica was AMAZING!!! She was our server for my night out with my mom and her service was so attentive, thoughtful, caring, and immediate. She also kept making us laugh and became a friend by the end of the night. Truly, somebody get her a raise bc she made our night!! We’ve come here often over the years and this dinner was so wonderful largely because of her care!“

“We went to this wonderful restaurant today for the first time, and it was unbelievably great! The man who waited on us answered all of our questions, the environment is warm and inviting, the service was the best ever, service was great, and we were not hurried in any way. Prices are reasonable and the quantity of food is spot on for hungry people. And of course, don't forget the desserts. There is a whole case of desserts to choose, and they were DELICIOUS. We will definitely go back and go back again and again.“

“Best pizza the original roni!“

“Fresh and delicious! Looking forward to our next visit 🍣“

“10/10! I was blown away. Absolutely hands down one of Rochester’s best restaurants. Friendly and quick staff and the food… 🤤 oh the food. The food was DELICIOUS! Cooked to perfection, and as 2 chefs on a date who are highly critical of others cooking, we were BOTH impressed. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, and presentation was impeccable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took some pics & vids and have a smaller social media of 22K that i plan on directing to go to this extremely good restaurant if they are in the Rochester area. The cocktails are presented with class and flare as well. If you’re looking for that perfect place for a romantic date night dinner, business meeting or just a foodie… this is a MUST-GO! Thanks to the amazing chef who was so accommodating! We will definitely be back!“

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

“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!“

“Loved, loved, loved this grill! They have booths and tables. The food was exceptional-even the decaf coffee was rich and flavorful!! Everyone there working had a smile on there face which tells you they are happy working there. When I called there to ask questions the man who I talked to was so friendly. And... I must give A shout out to Courtney, our waitress, who was friendly and so helpful. Loved her too! We will be back😊 FOR SURE“

“We are from out of town but visit ROC frequently because our son plays on the Jr. Amerks Juniors/NAHL team. He and some teammates discovered this place and go there for lunch literally every day they have home games. This place is the best-family owned and operated, great food great prices, great service! Tiramisu is my favorite thing in the world and Mamma G’s tiramisu is the best I have ever had. Carlo is the bomb!“

“My family took me off my birthday. And was some place cool and different to go to.
All the food was pretty good. But my burger, which I asked for medium was well done.
there was a piece of bacon on it, which leads me to believe, because I asked for no bacon, that they put it in and then took it off.
It was not busy at all and this particular Sunday evening, and it took an extremely long time to get our food.
The call ahead for a reservation and they will be able to see us all in a round table for a party of 8, which was nice.
I loved the atmosphere of the style and the nostalgia.“

“Great food and a friendly staff! Peter the owner is a good guy.“

“Visited tonight for bingo! I loved it there and everyone was so friendly. Drinks were great and I had the best seltzer I’ve ever had. I will for sure be returning! Such a fun and welcoming environment!“

“Finally stopped in and I was amazed! So friendly. Bakery items are so gorgeous and yummy! I’m definitely going back!“

“Effortlessly Healthy made all my meals perps and didn't miss a beat I love there work and food and great people as well.“

“fantastic!! Highly recommend!!“

“the kindest people and the food is incredible.... the coffee was so good and tasty...we felt relaxed and like we were in another land...“

“This space was amazing! It was stress free to book and to plan my event. Everyone was so helpful and our bartender, Hilery was fantastic. We definitely had more than enough space for all our guests and the venue didn't even need any extra decorations. We had plenty of time to set up and take down. All afternoon my guests were telling me Fairport Brewing was a wonderful place to have a party. I am sure if I need to have a party again, I will definitely come here. The only downside (and it's not really big) is some people had a hard time finding it. In my invite I made sure to tell everyone it is not in Fairport but University Ave. I also wish there was a sign hanging on the front of the venue so people definitely could see it as they drive back. The negative is not even a real negative, just a suggestion. It really was a wonderful time.“

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

“Ann was an exceptional waitress. We will definitely request her on our next visit. On point with great service.“

“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.“

“Came for the best burger in roc, but please bring back the hard roll 🤞“

“Rooney’s hosted my colleagues and I today for an amazing dinner. It was mine, and many others first time at Rooney’s and all said the same thing- WE WILL BE BACK. The food was delicious, service amazing, and ambiance was quiet, chic, and moody.“

“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.“

“All their dishes are fresh and consistently delicious.“

“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.“

“Our first time here and we will be back. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you for the delicious meal, hospitality and the lovely environment. 🤍“

“SERIOUSLY?!?!
This place is close to where we live but just tonight we ordered pizza for a party for the first time! We're seriously kicking ourselves for not trying this place sooner. This pizza seriously blows away all competition. It's seriously delicious!!!
YOU SERIOUSLY MUST TRY IT!!!!“

“I took my elderly mother here for lunch with my 15 year old because she has been craving Italian and it was close to where my mother lives. We couldn't stop talking about how nice of an atmosphere it was!! There was road and parking lot construction and since we weren't use to the area , we didn't know there was a ramp to help my mother, but every staff member was so courteous and friendly helping my mom and my 15 year old get them both in (while I went to park the car). The excellent customer service didn't stop there......... throughout our meal, water was filled up and they especially made sure my mother was comfortable! We were all also impressed how wonderful the food was! We stopped there on a whim, but you definitely have some new customers!“
