50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Yorkville

“I was in the area buying a vehicle, so my wife suggested Symeon"s in Yorkville. The salmon with rice was cooked to perfection, and the rice was incredibly tasty. The gyro wasn't was I expected. It did say ground meat in the menu, but it wasn't for me. I'll know next time to pick something else.“

“We had our book club meeting here last night and it was great! We didn’t know Cornhole tournament was happening as a lot of us had never been and they found a place out of the way for us to meet. An awesome atmosphere and so inviting and friendly. It was my first time there but it definitely won’t be my last! ❤️“

“Food was great, however the menu was out of date, and we weren't told what was wrong with it (no ciabattas, other wing sauces). Bar has a decent selection of craft beers, but the draft list placed prominently in the middle of the room, that the waitress pointed is to, was incorrect, and the waitress was obviously neither a craft beer drinker, nor trained on what they did have. She was pleasant, but needed some training.“

“Last time we went, ordered 3 subs.2 were supposed to be mixed, 1 roast beef.We recieved 2 roast beef - in which some people don't eat beef as their culture. The other roast beef sub had huge gobs of mayo on it & hardly any meat. The 3rd sub was made fine.When I called about the sub they wanted me to bring it all the way back there to have one remade. So not only went without lunch from somewhere I wasn't able to leave, but wanted me to go out of my way for 45 mins+ to possibly have another screw up? No thanks...They have been inconsistent since the take over & is definitely not what it used to be.Done.“

“absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“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.“

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

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“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“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“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!“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Falta uno en Puerto Ricoooooo🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

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

“I typically avoid writing restaurant critiques, given my years of experience in the industry. However, my recent visit to Gramercy Tavern compelled me to share my thoughts due to the disappointing experience. I was excited to dine at the bar after waiting half an hour for a seat. I ordered my usual drink, appetizer, and main dish, knowing the restaurant’s reputation for excellence. However, things took a turn when I stepped away to use the restroom. During that brief moment, my belongings—two bags—were removed and given to the coat check staff without my knowledge. When I returned, I was unceremoniously escorted to the exit, which left me confused and uncomfortable. At the reception, I tried to express my concerns, but the staff was dismissive. I requested to speak with a manager, but the coat check attendant firmly stated there was nothing to discuss and closed the door in my face. This treatment was not only unprofessional but also disheartening, especially after spending $145 on my meal. It’s unfortunate that a great dining experience was overshadowed by poor service and a lack of accountability. I hope the management reviews this situation to prevent it from happening to others in the future.“

“After all these years this old flame still has it.
Fun flirty staff crew, on top of their game.
Great French classics.
Foie gras, escargots, soupe L'oignone, Canard, Bone marrow, Steak frites, And of course, the dry aged prime beef Black Label Burger.
Good martini, great wine.
Perfect Soufflé.
Bon appétit !“

“Best food ever“

“Definitely recommend coming here for the experience if you love hotpot. Their food is not much different from other hotpot places, but what sets this place different than the rest is their service. The waiters are all super attentive and try to accommodate your requests as much as possible. If you come at the right times, they might even have performances and shows.“

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

“I have to say this restaurant was absolutely delicious!! So glad we tried the only Mexican Michelin star in New York!!!

We went here for our anniversary and were very pleased! Our reservation was for 9 and our table was ready exactly at that time.  Service was fantastic! Our waiter was really friendly and very knowledgeable about all the food items.  He answered all of our questions about flavors and portion sizes quite thoroughly which made our decisions easy!

Their tequila and mezcal varieties were very extensive and they had great cocktail options as well! For appetizers we decided to choose the smoked mangoes, tuna tostada, and the punta verde caesar.  All were so tasty and had such amazing flavor, we even ordered another tuna tostada!!  I would say we felt the mangoes were more of a snack/dessert and not an app but we were not mad about it at all because the smokiness they were able to get into the mangoes was amazing!

For the main course we went with the lamb and swordfish tacos (it comes with 2 each).  They are average sized, nothing too big or small especially since we ordered so many appetizers between the two of us!!  Both dishes were so flavorful!! I would highly recommend trying everything you have room for since the choices we made were bursting with so much flavor!

We chose the Oaxacan chocolate cake and the tres leches for dessert.  The cake and ice cream had a strong espresso flavor, maybe because I don't drink any coffee/espresso at all but it was still very tasty.

Overall this was a very affordable Michelin Star restaurant and we were extremely pleased with every aspect of our dining experience.  We would absolutely return to try more menu items and highly recommend paying them a visit if you are a fan of big, bold flavors!!

(The photos are not great sorry.)“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“Owner was dope. Don't expect the food to come quick, which a plus for me bc it let's me know it's being cooked from scratch. The food was good, even the next day eating it cold. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the jollof, guess I expected something different from all the jollof rave videos I had been watching.“

“Decoration is awesome, food quality is No.1👍👍“

“Amazing food, service, and ambience! The braised pork belly was delicious, and the staff both friendly and professional!“

“სასიამოვნო ინტრიერი, მეგობრული გარემო, უგემრიელესი კერძები.. რეკომენდაციას ვუწევ 100 % ❤️🇬🇪“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“MY FAVORITE PLACE IN NEW YORK. Vibe was so welcoming and warm. The servers were so helpful and personable. The food was out of this world. When we left, I immediately asked when we are going back and what excuse do we need to return asap. I’ve been around the world eating vegan and this restaurant is a SHOW STOPPER. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“Our server Katie, hands down the best person I have ever met, sis came over with the most energetic attitude, filled my water within 30 Seconds of me sitting down, she answered any questions I had about the menu (there were quite a few) she was so attentive and made this experience one of the best ones. She made sure we were comfortable and having fun the whole time. She made our 1st time here definitely memorable for I’ll be back for my birthday in a month THANKS TO KATIE ????

Another fancy pantsy bathroom.

Customer
Very nice to us, gave us suggestions as to what to eat, and made nice small talk


It’s giving river town cuz there was a walkway way in the middle that was raised a little. Also loved the aquarium.


Don’t know how I feel about the food. Everything was cooked well, well seasoned, and sauces were great. But I think some of the dishes were lacking depth. But that’s a minor critique.

Wow: 0.75/1
River.

“Excellent food! Great staff!“

“Excellent“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“We ordered takeout for the first time from this place, and it was fantastic! We had been wanting to try it for a while. We ordered the paneer timepass, dabeli, butter locho, pav bhaji, and cold coffee. The food was amazing—great portion sizes and a traditional taste in every item. The prices were very reasonable, too. We’ll definitely be back!“

“AMAZING vegan food, great staff, wonderful location. Even the meat-eaters in our party loved it. The pot pie was one of the yummiest and most satisfying dishes I've had in over a decade. 😁“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“I’ve only recently started checking out options in midtown area. This is the best place I’ve been so far. Went with my very not vegan family and they loved it. Their lychee drinks are amazing. All the food I tried here was delicious. I will absolutely be returning - this is my new fave place in midtown!“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“I’ve never felt more at home in a restaurant than Deser B. And his team made me feel tonight. He was the most authenticly kind and hospitable person I’ve met in New York and needs to be promoted to running all of the stores the way he runs this one.
This was the most authentic Mexican taco in north America. Corn tortillas made in House for each order fresh. I tried all of the protein sources and every single one of them slapped. 20 out of 5 stars. I mean if you don’t go here while you are in town you are crazy.

The toppings and salsa were the best I’ve ever had. The tacos were ready in less than 1 min after I ordered. They are obsessed with being the best and it stands out“

“Yummy and fun. Expensive but it's a good date night spot. We loved the cocktails. We tried the Wizard of Oz, Ozmanthus, the Autumn, and the old fashioned. Chili oil wontons are always great. Tofu pockets were so cute! Loved the signature noodles and the black truffle rice. Wish we skipped the tomato tofu hot pot. It was too tomatoey. Overall it was a nice time.“
