50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Cincinnati

“I love the atmosphere, it’s elegant but with the door opening and closing that made it chili and that’s why I gave the 4 stars. The wait staff was excellent. Swift, patient, knowledgeable, all stepped in and helped, truly satisfied with the service! The food was exquisite!!! I had the baked chicken and baked potato and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection!!!! I only gave 4 stars because for me I feel the menu is limited with choices I like. The person I was with raved about the trout, couscous, and Brussels sprouts! This was a special night, special event, and j Alexander felt just as special!!!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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 .

The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor.

“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!“

“Quality in every bite. Servers was very good but felt there was a bit too many tables for wait staff and it looked like a slow night. I like that the majority of guests dress up and that the restaurant encourages a more proper code. You do not need coat and tie but the jean shorts and ripped look were not on view as I have seen at some other high end places. Dress is personal and I like the atmosphere at The Capital Grill.“

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

“The worst financial decision we ever made was introducing our son to sushi. This place is amazing! Lots of choices and the belt was always stocked. The quality was superb and the cuts thick. The manager and staff were super friendly. We're from Columbus but we will definitely be back!

“Went here for a date night and left so full and happy!! Our server, Jenny, took such good care of us. It was nice to have the menu and specials explained to us in details and got a lot of recommendations from her, too. We ordered the crab cakes, mussels, lamb rack, their steak and crab special for the night. Everything was cooked to perfection with right seasonings and temp. We really enjoyed the special-the filet mignon was soooo tender and the crab was sweet! It was cool to have a candle lit butter and Cajun spiced lemon on the side for the crab. We were so stuffed at the end but couldn’t help but get dessert to go. The crème brûlée NY cheesecake is SUCH a treat and I’m so glad we got it. Service was 10/10, would recommend everyone to go here for nicer dinners.“

“Awesome place, food, and people!“

“Very good food I will go back again!!“

“Was there on 6/21/25 and it was the best and awesome food and probably the best waitress we have ever had (Jala?). Highly recommend and will definitely be back to eat there again.“

“Me and the family stopped in as we havent had Mongolian in a while as they've all closed down around us. 10000/10 would recommend this place. I never knew egg drop soup was a thing, and this restaurant turned me into a fan!! The staff was awsome wish I could have that staff in many other restaurants we go to!! Even our picky kids enjoys the experience and food as well. We will return again soon.“

“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!!“

“My wife and I frequent Maplewood on the weekends for brunch. There are many options in downtown/OTR/northern Kentucky for breakfast on the weekends, but Maplewood is our favorite. The menu has a nice variety of American breakfast options, as well as healthier alternatives. We love the Guajillo Bowl and Mediterranean Bowl, but the Maplewood Hash is also delicious if you are in the mood for something a little heavier. The GM, Erik, often recognizes us and welcomes us back. Erik and his staff always do a great job with service, and mitigating the crowded weekend mornings. Bring back the Chicken Tiga!!! Note: It's first come, first serve seating and you are supposed to wait in line and order before being seated. However entitled guests sometimes circumvent the line and save tables for the rest of their party waiting at the back of the line, whom have yet to order. This often throws off the flow of available tables, because the people whom waited in line and just ordered, now do not have a table. It can get busy here on weekends, but if you go, don't be one of these people, please wait in line like everyone else. The line moves quickly and the staff turns over the tables quickly as well. The couple of times this has happened to us, the staff promptly sat us at the bar and gave us a discount on our breakfast.“

“Fantastic food! Best bfast spot in the city 5 stars.“

“It was our first time there and they had amazing food, great staff!!! We will definitely come back Again and would highly recommend them!!!“

“Last night our family unexpectedly stopped in while a large group (20ish people. The staff was quick to make space for us and our waitress was amazing. She got all of our orders correct and even helped me order safely w food allergies. The chefs also did a wonderful job. The food was cooked to perfection and came out pretty quickly considering the size of our group. Great job everyone! Thank you for being awesome. We will definitely be back again“

“Amy was a great server one of the best experiences I had in a restaurant in the longest time will be back“

“We had a lovely Mother’s Day dinner! The restaurant is gorgeous and very welcoming with great music playing. Our server was very friendly and did a great job telling us about Mad Tree and explaining the menu, and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend Alcove!!“

“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!“

“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“

“Sweets and Meats Catered our wedding and we are so glad we chose them! They are great to work with and communicating and covering the details all went really well. They BBQ is delicious! I would definitely recommend them and if you are ever in Cincinnati make sure to stop by thier restaurant!“

“A mixup with our carryout order turned into one the best customer service experiences in recent memory at Newtown Village Tavern. The owners were very attentive to our order mishap and had assured us our order would be hot and prepared as requested. The food was delicious and you now have our forever patronage. I highly suggest that you give NVT a try for what I consider to be the best pizza in the area! Customer service is above and beyond!“

“I’ve been here a couple times and absolutely loved it. It’s a good place to get a hearty breakfast and a good cup of coffee. The food is good, the service is outstanding and despite the place being a bit cramped at time it’s cozy. I particularly recommend this one thing I had that I think was called the Flying Pig. It was ham and swiss on french toast, and while that sounds weird it was absolutely delicious. Definitely check this place out if you can.“

“If you love true authentic Thai food, welp just right from your door step your a taste away. There food is so good so fresh and hot and sizzling. Every time I'm there i love mixing up my dishes. And let me just say none of it goes to left overs its that good. Thank you to the older white hair fella, he's always pleasant and tries to accommodate everyone he's a great owner and a host. I highly recommend trying out this hot spot, be sure to call make reservation. Thank You

“A Warm and Flavorful Experience!

We visited Royal Taj Indian Restaurant for lunch and were delighted by their warm hospitality and incredible buffet. From the moment we entered, we were welcomed with the kind of warmth that truly reflects Indian culture—“Atithi Devo Bhava” (Guest is God). The sister at the front ensured we were comfortably seated, especially with our two young kids, which made a big difference.

The buffet showcased authentic Punjabi flavors—especially the chicken dishes, which were bursting with traditional taste and freshness. You can tell they put love into their food. We had a fun, relaxed time as a family, learning about the dishes and enjoying every bite.

They’ve just started in March, and they’re already doing a fantastic job. We’ll definitely be back soon to try the à la carte dinner menu. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Indian hospitality and delicious North Indian cuisine!“

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

“Sorry but this is not a review on experience. I would like to comment on the other persons review about their experience. There isn’t an option for me to do that so I’m doing this. I work at longhorn in Spring Hill tn for 4 years now. We are well known for our extra and very well seasoned steaks. They said they gave their dogs the leftover over steaks and showed the outcome of that. Well I refuse to give the steaks to my dog because he would have the same outcome. The steaks and seasonings are not for our dogs and they will all get sick and do the same thing. I also had to learn that the hard way cuz my dog loves when I come home with food from work but I can not let him have it anymore. Longhorn steakhouses steaks are for people only, not dogs. I hope to join this location and have a great experience.“

“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..“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“The enchiladas are divine!!!“
