39 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waterloo

“The first restaurant I ever tried kalamata olives!!! And the best Greek salad ever 😍This was probably 20 years ago. So glad the Jane Bond cafe is still going strong. Live in northern Alberta now. But may have to visit when I’m in Ontario this summer 🤔“

“Great food, friendly staff, no reservations required“

“Great food!! Nice Patio!! Excellent service!!!“

“decided to make the trip down from Wingham and it was well worth it. I think it has to be the closest to Real Italian pizza around here. I will def be coming back. And yes I'm one of those Italians who eats pineapple on pizza🤣LOL“

“Great meal today from Exclamation. The Lemon Chicken was fantastic :-)“

“amazing food and even better staff!“

“Our whole family gathered on Saturday, 25 strong to celebrate our parents lives. Thank you Millie for great service and a big thank you to the kitchen, Andy and staff , for a fantastic meal. Kids loved the saganaki and the adults all raved about the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and of course the souvlaki. Been a regular here for a number of years and have enjoyed every meal. Thank you“

“没有酒 有酒的话会更喜欢“

“We always eat here when visiting Waterloo. Food is great, but the staff draws us there even more so. Friendly, attentive, but do not over-serve.“

“Great meal, great service! Thanks Avery for taking care of us!“

“I rarely give really positive reviews but this is an exception. This is an excellent restaurant without qualification. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was polite, friendly and fast. The decor is attractive, intelligent and works. This is a place I intend to return to.“

“I visited The Chopped Leaf on Oct 26! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything felt wholesome and satisfying. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The place was super clean and tidy . Thank you Mansi for a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The service is what makes Sole excel. Our waitress was attentive, helped us with halving portions and was not intrusive. It was a happy surprise that when you order a medium rare steak it was actually M-R. It may seem odd to complain but we found the huge portions a bit too much. Our small but delicious Sole salads were more than I'd eat in three days. The quantity of frites was enormous. Our chocolate cake dessert - same. Everything was good but maybe with some imagination more quality and less quantity would be nice.“

“It was our first time at Bauer Kitchen and it was fantastic. We were seated right away. Our waitress Jessica was kind and attentive, she made sure we were taken care of. The food was delicious and we never waited long for our order to arrive.“

“Customer service here is excellent. the food is phenomenal. Well done boys.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“We had such a wonderful experience dining here! The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to interact with our one-year-old, which made us feel very welcome as a family. Even when our little one got a bit fussy, he remained patient, kind, and understanding. The staff were also very accommodating with our child's food while still making sure the adults enjoyed their meal just as much. Overall, a fantastic experience — we'll definitely be back!“

“community atmosphere, healthy food“

“The food was very delicious and fresh. They have an amazing hummus and garlic sauce. We also love their wood fire manaeesh.“

“I decided to stop in today and grab lunch . I ordered the Kibbeh . Now I have eaten this dish all over the world and had Armenian and Egyptian friends make it for me , And today’s was by far the best I have ever had . I am fighting the urge to go back and order more .“

“Great service, pleasant staff, fun atmosphere and delicious food. What more do you want in a classic diner? Had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely return. Paige was our server she was so amazing, food was awesome!! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😋“

“Amazing staff and delicious lunch. Will definitely be back“

“I will start with the positives. I definitely recommend Ken Sushi, every experience has been great except this one! Today we were not happy with the service. Our waitress was very pushy and made us feel like we were eating at a fast food restaurant! We felt like we were being hurried to place our order and not given time to decide what we wanted to eat. We had to remind Sunny that we ordered tea, the first item delivered was the gioza and they had to be returned because they were over done. We had to remind her that we ordered Miso soup. The food was ok but the service made the food not enjoyable. We tried new dishes suggested by Sunny but if we took the time to order we would not have ordered the grilled octopus. Dining out is not just about the food but the entire experience and this one was bad!“

“Morty's has the best wings!“

“Possibly the best chinese in town for my money. Excellent food, great prices, huge servings (even the lunch specials are easily two meals depending on how hungry you are) but above all excellent service and friendly staff. They go above and beyond, every time.“

“Always a pleasure to dine here. Staff is friendly and efficient and the food is awesome. Recommend to all my friends“

“had lunch there today, 2 chicken shwarmas for 17.99. it was AWESOMELY DELICIOUS!!!!. fast, friendly and super nice employees. we highly recommend this place. great value 👍“

“Best shawarma in town, great freshly baked pita/bread. A regular spot for us.“

“Not your traditional Chinese bao's.

Had duck which was fantastic. 10/10

Beef bulogi was great. 9/10

Pull pork was ok. 7/10

Marinated pork belly was the most traditional of all. 9/10

Place is hard to find. It is at the back of the building. There are no parking but there is some visitor and street parking if you can snatch one.

Just wish it was easier to find for new customers. I had to circle around few times eventually resort to calling the restaurant. Staff was helpful on the phone in helping me identify the whereabouts of the restaurant.“

“great service . fast and good presentation of the food they make .“

“This spot was an absolute gem! A friend had recommended them, and I was a little concerned seeing the 3.9 star review, but I'm 100% glad we gave it a chance. I got the veggie bibimbap with an extra egg, and the dynamite roll, and both were delicious and fresh. Huge portions (both lasted me for 4 small meals). My friend got the black bean noodles and also enjoyed. I also got the Pork Bone Noodle Soup to take home to my boyfriend, and he also enjoyed it across 2 meals. Loved that they gave banchan with the takeout meal too. Service was fast and efficient. Definitely will be back!!“

“A great chinese restaurant. Amazing staff gave us some good suggestions.
I was suprised to see some dishes with indian twist like the bombay chicken and masala shrimp.
They had a wide variety of dishes.
One must try the crispy beef and kung pao shrimp.
The quantity of each dish was great couldn't finish the meal.
Overall the experience was great, the dishes tasted good.“

“Great burgers! Amazing flavors!“

“Had a drink and a poutine, for the price the poutine was substantially. This place is rather small but thats its strength. All though it doesn't have bathrooms directly attached, if you just go intot he antiques market the bathrooms are only 2 doors away through and inside access.“

“Good service and a delighted dining environment. All Japanese foods were freshy made and with Japanese styled; should enjoy a happy dining experience in here. 👌“

“My “go-to” lunch! The store is always clean and well-maintained, offering a wide variety of food options to choose from. The service is excellent, all personnel are consistently polite, warm, and attentive. They’re always ready to answer any questions about the food. Kudos to the whole team! 👍🏻“

“The service was excellent, they really took the time to educate us about their menu and ensured we enjoyed our order. After eating a burrito, my sister had the bowl version, we felt good about what we ate...no fast food consumption regret here :-)“

“stopped by Sunset Grill in Waterloo last weekend, and wow—what a great find! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better.

The food? Absolutely delicious. They have a great variety of options, so whether you're in the mood for something hearty or a lighter, healthier bite, there’s something for everyone. I went with the pancakes and home fries, and they were cooked perfectly—golden, fluffy, and exactly what I needed to start my day.

What really stood out was the consistency—everything tasted fresh, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where families, friends, and even solo diners can feel right at home.“

“Good coffee , good location“
