50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Columbus

“Just had Seitan's Realm for the first time after wanting to try for years. Absolutely incredible. I had the potato salad, mozahella sticks and the Rick Reuben. I will definitely be back. Edit: Also wanted to say I'm not vegan and I loved the taste of everything.“

“Every single time we have visited has been nothing less than wonderful. The environment is always welcoming, the servers are so friendly, the food is always perfection. We don’t get to visit often as it’s a bit of a drive, but are so grateful to have Portia’s when we have some extra time. Portia herself is quite an amazing person. I think she’s just a doll 🤗“

“Amazing food, solid values. I enthusiastically recommend.“

“My Husband & I are so grateful to Woodhouse Vegan for hosting & catering our intimate 40 person wedding in September 2022. My husband and I are both vegan, and found the prospect of finding vegan catering for our small wedding daunting. We were thrilled that Woodhouse, one of the best vegan restaurants in Columbus, was open to not only catering our wedding, but also hosting it! Carla & the entire Woodhouse team made our big day incredible!! They did a fantastic job communicating prior to the wedding- we spoke via email, text, phone, and in person at the Woodhouse space. They answered all of our questions & provided helpful suggestions for how the night should run. On the day of our wedding they were flexible and provided us the stress-free easy going atmosphere we were hoping for. Carla kindly whispered a few things in our ears as the night went on letting us know how the bar tab was doing and to check in prior to serving each course. We had so much fun! The entire Woodhouse team helped us craft a delicious multi-course meal that our vegan and non-vegan guests loved. Their drinks were also fantastic! They happily catered to a few picky eaters on the guest list, as well as provided some non-alcoholic options for our non-drinking guests. The atmosphere was gorgeous, as always, and we were thrilled to use both the patio and indoor space. With 40 guests the space felt lively but not crowded. We even had space to install a small archway in the patio for the ceremony. We’re so grateful to the whole Woodhouse team for all they did to make our dream wedding day come to life!“

“Literally….one of the best, and I’ve gone to many across a lot of states. Reminds me of what we ate in the early 90s in Boston. WILL be coming back when we visit next.“

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“Anna was amazing !!! Food was yum & service was so good“

“The food was absolutely amazing! my 1st time having India food and it did not disappoint! Service was great!“

“Jordane is a treasure to be had. First time there and she was our server. She was so polite and so funny as well. I will gladly be requesting her if she’s there! The food was amazing too. I just want unlimited potstickers instead of a bowl though 😂“

“The food here is excellent and we've been going here for many years. We get carry out quite often for parties and family get-togethers.
Unfortunately the last several times we have gone here for carryout we left missing an item. They have always taken care of it right away but it is still inconvenient to have to go back and call them because something is missing.“

“We are from Kentucky and were in Columbus for a concert. I’ve always wanted to try a place that has been featured on Triple D, and this was the best decision ever! High Bank exceeded all expectations! We left with a full belly and A bottle of whiskey to remember them by. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. From now on, every trip to Columbus will include a stop at High Bank Distillery!“

The service was worth coming back for , their staff really awesome, respectful and engaging! Bonifacio … it makes Filipino food reach top notch levels ! Lovelovelove“

“This place is unreal! Tried it today for the first time and was blown away. We got the cheesesteak warios way and the chicken cutlet. Huge portions everything was fresh hot and delicious. Would consider making a day trip from WV to eat here!!“

“We had a delightful lunch today at Gallo's, from the moment entering, we were greeted by a Fine Gentleman that discussed our seating options ( Yeah, I'm a bit picky) to the time we departed with full bellies that was topped off with the Belgium Chocolate Mussee cake that was Outstanding!! Ice cold beverages and our service (Bartender) was Awesome catering to our every whim. This is definitely a MUST stop when looking for a Great place to dine!!“

“pros and cons. CONS.. If you were to base your visit on first checking out the cleanliness of the bathrooms before you eat, you'd turn around and leave. The men's room in the basement needs so much work and the multiple colonies of gnats was like visiting the basement of college kids from a party and cans and spilled beer have never been cleaned up. Horrible condition. The ladies refused to even look at theirs. Booths are small and tight. Definitely an old building, but it's kind of cool with its history. PROS... Those were some really really good burgers. Wife got the Ali and I got the Old School. Burgers are huge and easily splitable. We tried this after friends suggested the burgers and we were not disappointed. Onion rings were too greasy for us, but the fries and homemade chips were great. Alll and all, it's definitely an option to eat again when in town.“

“I have eaten here a couple of times and tried something different each time. Everything is GOOD! Best ramen in town!“

“I love this place!! Best falafel in town, heard it from a friend and it’s true. I’m vegetarian and they still have lots of yummy dishes that I love. The owner is very nice and they have great service. Give this place a try!“

“simply the best plant based restaurant in the country and probably the world. This is the spot my wife and I go for all of our special occasions even though we live in Indianapolis.“

“Great beer, great food, great people.“

“Wonderful food, great fast service, good quality ingredients, cute atmosphere!

This place is fun, you go in, check your options off on a paper menu, and they prepare it in front of you.

The avocado up-charge is a half of an avocado, and feels like a great deal, and the crab rangoons are magical (according to my fiancée, who is a crab rangoon aficionado).

We’re waiting till cold season to try the hot soup/noodles, and haven’t tried the bento boxes yet, but definitely will.

The Poke bowl with 2 proteins is enough for me for two meals.

I’d give this place an A++ and rate it one of my favorite in downtown Columbus!“

“Always a great experience, so pumped that there is one right by my house now.“

“Coco’s food and staff are all fantastic . We have been enjoying the experience s”almost weekly since they opened. Highly recommend“

“I recommend Condado tacos here at Easton. I also recommend our waitress Erin B. She is amazing, friendly and quick!!“

“Such a great place. Love the natural light and nice people.“

“Went for lunch. It was great. Had chicken with noodles and pork with rice noodles. Both were delicious. excellent from the food to the great service and friendly personnel. Will be back for sure.“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“We ordered DoorDash for lunch on Wednesday and the butter chicken, naan, samosas, and rice were DELISH!! My co-worker and I each had enough for 2 lunches! The buy 1 get 1 deal was also awesome!!“

“Believe the hype, their bagels are great. The vegan cream cheese is also wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.“

“The food is standard first watch food. Nothing there was over the top except the service!! Exactly what I want from service from every restaurant. A few stop bys to check in and friendly with no attitude. Going the extra mile to give children the option to feel normal and not just asking the adults what the kids want or need. 94% on the over-all mostly from employees.“

“Service was kind, quick, accurate. the atmosphere was very chill. The food was immaculate. Great prices too! Will definitely come again!!“

“After working with the front and back staff for over a year I get to see how everything is running as far as receiving all the foods and produce in the back I know everything is kept very clean and organized in a busy kitchen with all the preps and cooks working together. Out front we have a bunch of young awsome experienced ladies always working together and keeping all the customers Happy and Full. The Food and staffs are second to none😎“

“Absolute top shelf. Great Tapas. The happy hour menu was right priced as well.“

“This was my first time going to Townhall. I’ve been wanting to go there for quite some time because I have a lot of food allergies it was beyond my expectations! The food was outstanding the service impeccable and I’m so excited to bring my Special Needs son who also has allergies back down. Lilly was our server and she answered my many questions and was extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. we’re very much looking forward to coming back.“

“Mmm, hotdog good. Eat many, I did. Eat many more, I will.“

“I can only recommend this restaurant the food is amazing and the staff is so friendly.“
