50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Cincinnati

“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I don’t have anything bad to say. We ordered 75% of the menu, both desserts… different cocktails, ALL of it was astounding.

Our highlights were the short rib, tuna tartare, ricotta & honey, the BAKLAVA. But honestly, there probably isn’t one bad item on this menu.

It was absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Our server Alex was so kind and fun, we had THE BEST, time and meal. We live in Columbus and we will certainly be back, It may seem extreme, but it’s worth the drive.“

“good food nice area“

“I stumbled into this place with some work colleagues when we were working in the area. When we walked in the door, I had no idea what kind of food they served. The menu wasn’t particularly large, but it had some really interesting choices. I’m not a big hot dog person, but there was a broad selection of very unique hot dogs. I ended up choosing the Elote grilled cheese, and we also got some duck fries for the table to share. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the grilled cheese sandwich, but it was outstanding! The fries and dipping sauce were also really good!“

“If you're looking for a very good steakhouse with excellent quality food, great service, atmosphere, and affordable that's without the Jeff Ruby price tag, then I would recommend giving this establishment a try. It's a nice step up from your Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse chains. It's very reasonably priced for the food and service you receive. Everything on the menu that I have orderd has been excellent. So if you're looking for something more than your average chain steakhouse without dropping the high end steakhouse pricing, then I would recommend giving it a try.“

“2024 menu is good and so was the service!“

“Thanks HPF for the delicious platter for our Easter guests! Everyone LOVED the club & Italian sandwiches! 😋“

“My family and I recently visited Sugar & Spice at the Summit Park location. Best pancakes ever! Everything we ordered was delicious! Service was excellent! If you go, ask for Chan. She’s amazing!! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“I was traveling and decided to stop here for lunch. Kind of a “hole in the wall” type of place. Had a very lengthy all-vegan menu with plenty of options. I had a 1/2 panini and there’s no way I could have eaten a whole one. Food and service was very good, but I was curious about the tv program they were playing as it was very odd. Turns out this chain of restaurants is connected to some kind of cult. They didn’t try to recruit me or anything, but worth knowing what you might be funding I guess.

“The food is amazing, they have a large wine and spirt offering. The staff are always courteous, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Casual dining with an upscale feel.“

“I had an amazing experience the mushroom wings top tier, and the strawberry cupcake awesome. Everything was very good.“

“I’ve been coming here for a couple years. It is a gem of a place. You cannot find better food for this price downtown or anywhere else in general. Every member of the team there is very friendly and has nailed customer service. Today I was inspired to write this review because I saw the chef making some French toast. He was treating the motions with so much care, attention, and grace, it was like watching an artist at work. It is clear the people here take pride in their work, and you can taste it. Cincinnati is lucky to have this place!“

“We travel all around the world, even compared to Italy, their home made pasta was the best we have ever eaten. We had appetizers that were awesome as well. We Highly recommend this place!“

“Mouthwatering and delicious. Drove 20 minutes just to try this place. We will definitely be back. They only have two small tables outside so plan for take out! Best pizza I’ve had in Cincinnati.“

“Love this place. It never disappoints. Ask for the Turkish tea and knafeh for the perfect dessert.“

“Sotto embodies the feeling of understated luxury. From the wood-fired oven to the homemade pasta, the chef's dedication to every dish is evident. I particularly enjoyed their Italian meatballs and roasted eggplant appetizers, which paired perfectly with a glass of red wine. This place isn't just about dining; it's about enjoying a mini culinary journey. If you're in Cincinnati, be sure to make reservations in advance; otherwise, it's very difficult to get a table.“

“I have been here several times and it has always been a great experience.This place never disappoints.Wonderful food,top notch service and a great relaxing atmosphere.Amazing view of the city.“

“Today I traveled from Florida to Cincinnati. My sister and I wanted to get a bite to eat . We didnt want to get fast food that you could get on every corener . While leaving the airport I Googled restaurants close by . There were several to choose from however, we decided on Pig Candy BBQ this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor. If you are just traveling through or a local or feel up to a drive this is definitely worth your time .The staff knows what customer service means . All around Great food and service. A MUST STOP....... THANK YOU !!“

“The food was amazing and the owner super sweet!“

“From the moment we made our reservation, we were treated to a hospitality and warmth sorely lacking in today's world. While we went at noon, the music and decor were as relaxing as an evening or even late- night event. Our server Simeon was professional and committed to make our meal a memorable one. At our request, he described different dishes, telling us what he recommended and what to expect. He was attentive without hovering. The food was as outstanding as was the service. While the shrimp toast appetizer, Wong's chicken, and Clay pot were delicious, beautifully prepared, we were overwhelmed by the presentation, taste, and experience of the coconut bread pudding with rum sauce. We will go again soon..“

“We had a great brunch on Sunday on our way out of town . My son has a lot of allergies and they were very accommodating and generally just pleasant people working there !! Will come back anytime I’m in the city“

“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.“

“Everything is perfect! Love all of his Cincinnati restaurants! Excellent dining and best steak in the Midwest!“

“The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast - we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!“

“Benson Paige is a pup who has lived in a shelter for a whole year. Today is his last day on earth since he is being humanely euthanized tomorrow. A foster took him out and spent some time at Bloc, so benson got to finally cuddle up on a couch. He finally got to eat a whole plate of eggs, a plate of bacon and experience the good life- something he never got to experience before. Stevie the lead barista was incredibly kind and compassionate over the phone with me while I tried to coordinate getting benson a special treat and helped me make sure the foster & benson were taken care of and that he got to experience love. There are no words to describe my gratitude to them and thank them for providing a place for benson to be safe and loved. ❤️❤️❤️ can not recommend them enough for their customer service“

“Morning Meditation, carrot cake pancake, & Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict! Perfect Sunday brunch!“

“Super impressed with Better Blend Anderson. My friends have raved about BB Florence for years. I finally found BB in anderson. My family has ordered over 10 smoothies so far and we've enjoyed all of them. My favorites are LeanGreen and PBOreo. Impressed with the fresh produce used, the size and value. The store is so clean too!! Well done!! You made me a regular in one week.“

“Best tacos in St Louis !!! Food is amazing ... Very professional! Big shout out to one of the managers Mirah Moss !! Good quality professional service !! try it you won't regret it !!“

“Fire. I got a bowl with chicken and a side of the brisket. Both were amazing. The similarities to chipotle and with the cheese because the rice the chicken, the toppings were different, even though the ideas are similar. The coconut hot sauce was amazing and flavorful, and didn’t scorch your tongue so the rest of the flavors didn’t come through. The brisket absolutely juicy And amazing and good just by itself. I can’t wait to try the pork belly next time.“

“Took my kids to see my mom Crystal at work finally and they were super excited about seeing Mimi at Wild Eggs! Food and service was awesome thanks! We are looking forward to our next visit!!“

“It's lovely, if you get seats near the far window facing the street, there's a small area for children to play. Coffee is delicious and well balanced. The food was fresh and nicely seasoned. I ordered a build your own bagel, with cream cheese avocado and eggs. My daughter ordered from the kids' menu and had pancakes. She said they were delicious.
Note: we got lucky with parking, there's only a few spots by the door. If it's full it can be a bit tight to get out of, especially during heavy traffic.“

“As an Italian, I’m really happy and proud that Italian cuisine is well represented by Nicola’s. I went there with my lady to celebrate Saint Valentines in advance, and we were so happy to spend our time there. The place is wonderful, the service is perfect and the food… the food is astronomical! Personally I do love the Malfatti “A true love for Rome”. As being born and raised in Rome I do really appreciate that love for my city. Definitely a 10/10, and best place to experience Italian cuisine. P.S. Italiani, se siete di passaggio a Cincinnati fate un salto da Nicola, non ve ne pentirete“

“Great people and great food“

“I don’t have any food pics because I only got plantains this time to bring back home. Every time I go to Cincinnati, which is a 2 Hour Dr. I go to Findlay Market. I have never in my life had Verde sauce as great as they have here. So if I don’t eat here, I always pick up plantains and Verde to take home. Their food is authentic and delicious. I’ve thought about everything they have here, but that Verde sauce.Is everything..“

“Great and friendly place to eat, fast service also. Definitely a great date night spot.“

“The pretzels, wow. Came upon the blue oven at a farmers market. Immediately tried the pretzel on the way back to the car and thought I died and went to heaven. Unreal. Perfect amount of salt, perfect texture. Everything. Can’t wait to try the rest of the breads I got but I will be back for those pretzels. Do y’all cater? I need these at my wedding.“

“I've enjoyed this place for years Service is great and I like that you can tweak the dishes a bit, like adding extra meat or noodles (or both).

I usually get the chicken katsu or tonkotsu ramen, but I'm also down with their donburi. They have a nice selection of sake, other wines, cocktails and beer, including from Japan.

The atmosphere is perfect for friendly dining conversations with soft music playing in the background.“

“an impressive menu, large amount of flavors that are all super unique and addictingly tasteful. I recently had the Pineapple Dole Whipp with strawberries added, and couldn't believe what I was eating was actually good for me. Pumped that Dayton finally has a Better Blend.“

“Our meal was delicious. The service was excellent! We highly recommend La Bar a Boeuf! I had the crab cake appetizer and it was very good-2 large crab cakes. My husband had the escargot-very good. I had duck for the entrée. Again, I recommend this dish. My husband had the soft shell crab??. We were too full to have desert!“

“The food was delicious. Had my husband hollering, lol scared the ppl at first then the other customers joined in. Service was amazing“

“Today we picked Fireside cause we wanted to try some Cincinnati pizza! All I can say is what an amazing place. The gentleman working was amazing!! Helped tell us about other places to go, had us try some different draft beers, they made the best pizza’s even my kids loved all the different types and loved drawing plates to put on the wall. If we were to ever come back this way definitely would be coming back! Recommend 100x!!“

“So good! We got the Steph's sampler, added toast and a biscuit. $30 for two with coffee. We love the echo! Stephanie and the staff are great. Everything is so clean and well run especially for how busy it is. The line was long but went fast.“

“Son un verdadero Gelato italiano, frescos y de calidad. Y lo mejor es la atención, te sientes como en casa.“

“Fantastic Veggie Burger! Will definitely come back“

“Amazing coffee, posh atmosphere, great customer service! I wish I lived closer! ❤️“
