50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Grandview Heights

“The weekend brunch is highly underrated, but not to be missed! We were greeted with a warm fire and lovely ambiance of live music on a crisp fall morning. Third and Hollywood has a very cozy, dimly lit vibe that is great for celebrating a special occasion, date nights, happy hour and as we recently found out the best brunch in the 614!

Having long been on a quest to find the best cinnamon roll in Columbus, we have finally found it! As a vegetarian my go-to dish is the vegetarian mixed grill. A common mistake restaurants make with vegetarian/vegan dishes is not making it filling/hearty enough but I always come home with leftovers here! The artichoke hearts are another staple dish here that can not be missed.“

“While shooting a segment for the show Out n About Columbus, the owner Colin and the chef Marja took us through a gastronomic journey that left every one of the crew dumbstruck from the flavor and creativity in the dishes that were offered to us today! If you have the opportunity to dine at this incredible establishment, don't walk... RUN in the door! Don't ask for a menu! Let the staff take you on a culinary adventure! You definitely will not regret the decision, not one bit!“

“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.“

“You all were amazing today helping me find something I could eat. I really appreciate it! My kids were even eating my tofu, so I had to buy more! I'm looking forward to being able to check out the Columbus location!“

“The chef is the Bomb!!! AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! My First time here and I was NOT disappointed. My friend wanted to try this restaurant out. I am not vegan. I must say, this place is legit. ‘The BLT Delicious slices of vegan bacon, coated with their signature Sriracha Mayo, stacked high with mixed greens, Roma tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro, in between toasted whole wheat bread. House fries included and really doesn’t ‘taste vegan.’ I feel like non-vegans would LOVE this! I am at Aww! I am lost for words! Not only that, the chef/owner and the guy at the counter were nice. Me and my friend where their when they opened at 11am. This place is 100% on point! Love this place and would recommend to anyone - vegan or not! I can not say this enough, incredible vegan restaurant. Another thing I really appreciated about this place was how cute and clean the bathroom was. They even had complimentary women's hygiene products available for free. Such a thoughtful touch! Good amount of options on the menu. Get a lot for your money. The food is delicious! It's a true statement can't believe it's vegan! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. First of all, it’s entirely Vegan. I’ve been to Vegan restaurants all around the U.S. and Europe, and this is one of the absolute best right in Columbus! Chef Chad is just a cool dude. My wife and I got to meet him at VegFest and he couldn’t have been any nicer. We watched his show Top Vegan and because of all of this, we decided to make a trip from Cleveland to Columbus. We are so happy we did and this place lives up to the hype. The Vrunchwrap was delicious and it’s so good we are going to figure out how to recreate it at home. If you live in Columbus or are in Columbus, this place is a must! 6 stars if I could. Also, watch Top Vegan on YouTube!“

“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!“

“I love this place! The food is awesome.“

“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.“

“one of my favorite lunch and snack spots downtown! fresh delicious food and wonderful staff!! Acia bowl 10 out of 10!!“

“Vegan options are clearly marked. The hummus was rated best in Columbus for a reason. It's amazing!!! Everything here is great. The falafel, pita, rice, all very fresh and spiced perfectly! The staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner is a great guy too. Never had a bad experience. True local gem in Columbus!!“

“My family and I had a great dinner at Layla’s Kitchen!! Highly recommend this restaurant- food was delicious and wonderful wait staff!!“

“Great Chef, Great service, great atmosphere. I eat for a living and this definitely a hidden gem. Amazing ambiance in the Cellar where we sat ...... Everything was on point.“

“Great place! Best handmade noodle!“

“best Lebanese lentil soup! I'll go out of my way to get carryout.“

“I️ LOVE going to this location! The staff has changed a bit and I️ enjoy when I️ see the manager Krystal- she is quick and efficient but also so funny and friendly!“

“No need to go to Philly for cheese steak when you can get it here at Warios. I have ate at the famous brands and each time I come here. Show them some love Columbus.“

“Great gyros and fries ! Always very kind and quick service !“

“Best fast casual type of restaurant you'll find anywhere but at some point there needs to be a conversation about some of the staff at the short north location... almost every time I go I have an experience so odd it feels like I am getting pranked by a hidden camera. If someone were to tell me they're testing AI robots that work off a limited script I would understand, and also feel better about robots taking human facing jobs. Foods still fantastic and won't impact me from going at least once a week but the robo staff experience has happened too many times to not start the conversation about getting some humans back behind the counter slinging the best food in town.“

“Best meal I have ever truly experienced in my 27 years of life. I have no other words I’m speechless at this meal and experience. Wowzie wow wow wow“

“Weekends, get there early. You will wait, the wait will be worth it. The atmosphere alone is worth it. You can tell who is part of the family business, they are the best. None of the food disappoints.“

“The food was delicious and creative.“

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

“Cafeteria style dining and food was very good. Lots of options on the salad bowls. Veggie offerings were all very good. Fries were tasty. Soup was good. Dessert cookie also very good. Draft beer selection was a bonus - better than expected.“

“Joey went above and beyond for us on my first visit to Derive Brewing.. I’ll be back from Indiana as soon as the Turtleneck & Gold Chains is available again. Best Hazy I’ve ever tasted!!“

“Since adopting a plant based lifestyle, I quickly learned that authentic dining options were limited to impossible burgers and cauliflower wings...until I discovered Nile Vegan!! On most days, this is a One-Man operation! He offers impeccable customer service and takes time to educate his guests so they get the most out of the entire dining experience! All of the stews are perfectly prepared and tantalizing to the taste buds! This is truly a hidden gem right in our backyard!“

“I have been to Marcella’s many times and ordered food on door dash. I love their food and atmosphere. Today I did door dash because I got devastating news about my cat and I wanted comfort food and to not leave the house. Jenna was beyond sweet and let me make a few changes to my favorite dish’s- Penne Alla Vodka- and to make it a custom way. She went above and beyond and that is just unheard of these days! Not only is their food amazing— their customer care is also top notch. Thank you Jenna for making a really hard day better, I will not forget your kindness. ?“

“Delicious crab rangoons. Literally so good. Enjoyed every second. I had some ramen too, I wouldn't get it again here. Id like to come again for poke. The ramen was okay, but nothing to write home about. The pork belly was very good and done right though. It was the broth and noodles that were a little blander. But they were super super friendly and had a lot of cool options on the menu!“

“This is an established and an amazing place. It’s always good. The food and service is perfect.“

“We loved all the pastries we tried as well as the coffee! The staff were super accommodating so I could get the extra space for the milk. The chocolate pastry was exceptional and the barista recommended it, so good call!“

“Perfect first visit for our anniversary. Loved the drinks, the food, the jazz, and the service. Certain to be one of our favorite places; gotta make up for all the years we haven't gone there.“

“Went to the Cincinnati location and it was AMAZING! We ordered the cheddar scallion biscuits, Korean BBQ cauliflower, shrimp and grits, and the Szechwan Noodles. So much flavor in everything we tried. The wait staff was top notch. Our server Kevin was very attentive, checking on us to make sure all was ok and if we needed anything. There were also a few others that stopped by to see how we were doing and chat with us since we drove 250+ miles to eat there. They made us feel very welcome. I can’t wait to go back, it’s so worth the drive and I’m hoping they build one closer.“

“Always great service.
Parking can be difficult but usually not bad.
Neat concept with three floors, bars on each floor.
Rooftop bar is fun, library is neat, food hall has so many options.
Try a drink of the month.
Ask for Frank .“

“Upon entering we were greeted by Jahlyia and she was so pleasant and helpful as we looked over the cakes.
She seated us and her personality made it obvious we had made a good choice to dine here.
In the past many of the servers were cold and dismissive but jahlyia made us feel welcomed and important.
Helpful with our menu selection and attentive to our needs. This girl is a keeper and makes the environment just that much better!
The food was incredible as always and the value makes it easy to comeback again and again!“

“Just went for the first time, and it was phenomenal! The service, food, portions, and value…..it was all great!“

“It is a great choice to meet up with friends . Food is excellent and service is great.“

“Love this place and the mission behind it. We use them almost exclusively for our women's work group functions and people RAVE about the food. I also got Cookies for a Cause to gift for Christmas!

Parking: Not sure about how much free street parking, but downtown parking can be tricky to some folks!“

“Wow,coming from Chicago the bar was high for good food. Was told to try Barcelona and was not disappointed.
The chief came out and greeted everyone, I told him you can always tell a good restaurant by the Scallops.
Hands down one of the best Scallops I've ever had across multiple cities, states and countries. I mean I was floored at the sauce and the different flavors that came through , hands down either the best or second best scallops I've ever had in my life.
Drinks are prepared by multiple bartenders who compete the competitions for making drinks, needless to say, drinks are good too.

5 out of 5
Highly recommend“

“Really enjoyed the food and the experience.“

“They've been open this food truck for an estimated 3 years now, and their food and service are still delicious. My favorite are the empanadas. They're the only ones who sell them in Columbus, and I dare say they're even in all of Ohio. What I do know is that they're the only ones with that exquisite flavor that characterizes them!“
