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!“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Salena’s is a NOTA staple and I’m so glad so many of our theatre events end up at Salena’s. I always have the pleasure of having Nando as our bartender and he always knows exactly what the vibe is. I’m terrible at knowing what I want to drink and Nando always knows exactly what to whip up. Honestly, Rochester wouldn’t be the same without Salena’s!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wonderful day trip with a great lunch to end it.“

“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 🤤“

“Food was outstanding, love the flavor!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped in for dinner and had a party of 4. It was a Tuesday night and told there was a 30 min wait. They offered us a high top at bar, and unfortanately it was really loud and hard to have a conversation.

The food was good. We previously had a catered event with the barbecue package and it was delicious. Was hoping those items on menu but they weren't.

We started with the artichoke cristini app. It was so good...we fought over the last one. I had an Asian pork sandwhich with sweet potato fries; my husband had a pizza and 2 other family members had burgers. No complaints about the food. Good portion sizes. Hot. Reasonable prices.“

“seated immediately by friendly host. The waitresses are awesome! The food omg the food is fabulous! I stop in at least 2x a month if not more. Always leave feeling satisfied. Experience the Mel's experience you won't be sorry!“

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

“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.“

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

“We were there in March for the Billy Joel tribute band and dinner. The food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Loved the cool decor and plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“The food is fantastic. I make the 30 minute drive because I really enjoy the food, the presentation is beautiful and the service is impeccable.“

“Best thin crust pizza and buffalo wings. Jerry knows exactly how we like our pizza and wings and he always gets it right. Never disappoints. Always perfection! Eggplant sub or parm dinner is also excellent. Anything you order on menu is delicious. One of our favorite places to go.“

“First time there - the food is AMAZING! Some of the best food I’ve ever had. So reminiscent of El Ricon, but yet different. Huge and intriguing menu. The quesadillas are so delicious as are the sopes, & chile rellenos..the flan is creamy & caramel and the chocolate dulce de leche is sinful. If you haven’t been - GO… does not disappoint! I’ll be back for sure.“

“Consistently good“

“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...“
