50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Cincinnati

“I absolutely love everything on the menu! My favorite is the Meat Lasagna. I also enjoy the 'Old World Italy' feel and the friendliness of the staff.“

“I’ve been here quite a few times now and I just love it!! It’s a tried and true for me! I came here for the first time in Winter of this year and can’t count how many times I’ve been here since.

The ramen is AMAZING. I won’t lie… the ramen, sake, and cocktails are the only things on the menu I’ve tried so far. Everything looks and sounds amazing, but I tried the ramen the first time I went and loved it so much, so usually when I am going there, I’m craving that specifically. I LOVE THEIR TONKOTSU WITH BOK CHOY AND THE CHILI OIL ON THE SIDE SO I CAN ADD IT TO TASTE!! They also have some good sake and drink options! They definitely need to reprint the menu soon because there’s a good amount that I order and they are out of or don’t carry, but it’s not a huge deal. They just need to update it since it’s a reoccurring issue!

The servers are all so lovely and kind. They are attentive, helpful, personable, and care to remember you. I really appreciate all of the interactions I’ve had with them, their kind suggestions, and their conversation!

The place is very lovely inside, though still casual and relaxed! I love Zundo!!“

“Food and presentation was top notch! Everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Walked away full but not feeling weighed down. Service was fantastic as was the atmosphere. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for me!!“

“We had dinner at the downtown location this evening to celebrate my son’s graduation from the military, and leaving to report to his first assignment. From the time we were seated, to the time we left, several staff members came over to shake his hand and thank him for his service, even the General Manager. We always receive exceptional care from any Jeff Ruby’s establishment, but are so grateful to our amazing server Peter along with all of the other staff who took the time to make our family feel so special. We will support this business until the end of time! Thank you for being such a wonderful place to visit!“

“We love supporting our local businesses and love that nearly everything on the menu here is locally sourced. There are many positives for this restaurant, including warm & inviting service. The complimentary bubbly is also such a sweet touch! The ambience is unique and cozy so, overall, service is 10/10. I wish I felt differently about this next part, but I can’t say that the food is worth the price. It’s quite expensive for what it is. Nothing we received was bad by any means—it was good! But we had one entree (one of the cheaper options), two sides, two drinks, and spent nearly $200 after tip. In my opinion, charging $15 for a side of lightly seasoned roasted potatoes is too much, especially when the entrees easily run $60-80 by themselves. Plus, the average cocktail was $16. I would feel differently if everything tasted exquisite, but it all tasted good. Nothing particularly special, I hate to say. The spices in everything were conservative, and it seems that the majority of the flavor relies on the raw ingredients themselves. I applaud their choice of truly quality ingredients, but for the price we paid, I would expect a lot more flavor to be woven in via additional culinary choices.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Mediterranean Hyde Park with Heather Raake Bates , and it was truly an exceptional culinary experience. The meal was outstanding, and the service was superb. I highly recommend visiting this establishment, as it is a hidden gem that warrants a return visit.“

“Their food is absolutely amazing! The hummus is so good and fresh--doesn't even taste like what you buy at the store. I highly recommend this restaurant for their amazing food and exceptional service! Love supporting a locally-owned restaurant!“

“My group of friends had dinner here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience!! Navarre was our server and he did an exceptional job catering to us as first time guests. All of our dishes were delicious! Ricotta donuts are the perfect dessert!“

“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!“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“Delicioso postre todo riquísimo y la atención de primera calidad“

“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..“

“Great Chicken Wings.“

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

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

“We went for my birthday to check out the place. Good food and top notch service.“

“Food was great. Service was quick and friendly. I wish Cincinnati had more Greek restaurants. I live in Fairfield and we just don’t have any authentic Greek food. I’m very excited my new office is only 4 minutes down the road. I plan on not packing my lunch as much and taking some time away from work. The staff all seemed very friendly and the servers were very kind to children while I was there. I want to bring my family here but the hours won’t allow it because of work and school.“

“yummy vegan food, quick service, whole foods, Lucus remembers that I am vegan, great customer service.“

“Wow, another GREAT dinner here with William Howard being my new all time host extrodonaire. I my new mantra at work is be like William. Couldn't possibly have been better. THANK YOU!

Maggie took OUTSTANDING care of me with friendliness and great insights on food and wine options. Fantastic experience after a couple of long work days. Thank you!

Filet and mushrooms were beyond good. So tender and tasty.

And then these desserts, oh wow! PERFECT

This will definitely be on my short list of places to eat when in town.“

“We have been ordering from the Indian Bistro for many years! Food and service just keeps getting better and better! Favorite restaurant in the city! ❤️Fox Family!“

“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 !!“

“absolutely delicious experience. The conveyor belt featured a wide variety of appetizers, salads, fresh fruit, sushi, nigiri, and dessert. our waitress was super attentive and extremely polite. The atmosphere is very fun and entertaining as you watch the conveyor belt, the trams on top of the belt, and the robots delivering hot and fresh food. our waitress was on top of our drinks and explained the iPad and the conveyor belt system very well. Will definitely be back. for the two of us with a generous tip, it was under $50.“

“Dan the man with the pizza pan, was awesome in every aspect of professionalism. Fucking great attitude and very friendly. Thanks Dan front the guy who painted the building on the corner.“

“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.“

“Favorite Thai take out since forever.“

“This place is a 10/10 y'all. When we lived in Cincy we found this gem, and I would dream about their food until I could go back (weekly!). Now that we live back in Buffalo, it's the number 1 place I recommend to all people visiting from out of town. (True story, the amount of Bills fans I have sent here is unmatched- do you need a Buffalo sponsor?) Their specials are always a hit, their burger... well I hope its my last meal because I would die happy. The atmosphere is just so good too (Don't forget to hit the button in the bathroom!). Our last trip in we talked to Stuart for a long time, and enjoyed every minute... even got to do a PB shot (unreal!). Come visit Buffalo Stuart! We love you! Let's just say I miss you guys. So much. Until our next trip when I down my weight in food and drinks again. <3“

“Wonderful food and service!! We sat at the bar and Bryan waited on us and was more than accomodating!!!“

“Awesome place, food, and people!“

“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“

“Classic Americana and textbook friendly neighborhood bar-restaurant! Newtown Village Tavern pizza is everything LaRosa’s wishes it was and it is the superior “Cincinnati Pie” in every way. Cold beer on tap, sports on the tube. What more could you want?“

“Best Chinese food in Cinn.“

“My friend and I came for lunch today. We had the mixed grill for two and it was FANTASTIC! We had the hummus for an appetizer and tea. Everything was delicious, the service was prompt, and our server was so nice and friendly. I highly recommend!“

“This is one of the few places outside Guadalajara that you can enjoy a variety of Tortas. These are a must.

No matter what you order, portions are rather generous and are rather fresh.

Aside: seating is somewhat tight knit, as the restaurant is in a nook in the plaza.“

“The food and service are absolutely incredible! Coming here is definitely a great way to celebrate any occasion! The wait staff are incredibly knowledgeable and the kitchen is extremely accommodating to any dietary restrictions!“

“Amazing food. Wonderful views. The ambiance and service was 10/10. 💜💜💜“
