46 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 🤔“

“amazing food and even better staff!“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“This place never ceases to impress! We had a lovely lunch on Saturday; we were a total of 3 adults and 4 children. The staff, service and food were phenomenal as always! The GM, Aaquib Mohammed and crew are always a pleasure to deal with and make sure we always leave happy. If you want to try the best pizza in town, you need to give Famoso a try!“

“community atmosphere, healthy food“

“没有酒 有酒的话会更喜欢“

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

“Great food, friendly staff, no reservations required“

“I want to personally thank the team at Sole for such an amazing birthday dinner !! The few times I have come I have always had a great experience but when I went to book online it looked like it was full booked up. Aniko saw my post looking for different options made it happen and found us a table! I thought that was the great deed end there but the whole experience made me feel so extremely special. Being welcomed in like I was a friend to when I got to my table I had flowers and a birthday card waiting for me🥹 those who have December birthdays know we often get slacked but the team made me truly feel special! Drink options were delicious and made fresh. Had a baked Brie with fresh mixed berry sauce as an appetizer. Dinner was phenomenal I had smoked chicken (tasted like the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had) and for dessert they came out with a special birthday crème brûlée and truffles! As a group we also ordered the triple layer chocolate cake (will be something I will be dreaming of for a while haha). To share what my friends had- a salmon with a salad and beef short rib. Everything was so delicious and cooked perfectly. You can tell they take time to think about proper pairing/flavouring and how to make the food taste good. Thank you again Solé Uptown (especially Aniko) everyone I strongly recommend if you are looking to have a great dining experience to go to Sole ❤️“

“Service are super quick and friendly, always someone to welcome you at the door“

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

“An overall excellent spot! The service and atmosphere were outstanding from the start. The drinks and bartenders were top-notch—truly exceptional quality. The food was on another level as well; even though I didn't get to try a lot of dishes, everything we had was amazing. Highly recommended“

“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!“

“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 .“

“Good halal option available but limited. This tea is very delicious. We tried the wacky tacky fries which were excellent and crispy, salad was a good portion (honestly can get as a main dish) and of course the sandwiches were portioned perfectly. Halibut and Korean one was great“

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

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

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

“My partner and I went to this place with our friend and our reviews are the following:

Sof:
I enjoyed the beet root salad, which was an amazing vegetarian option! We got different sauces on the side to customize our food the way we like it, which was really appreciated. Spinach dip was really delicious and served with fresh chips.

Renzo:
The Bauer Burguer has a decent size for its price and the fries had a good flavour. There is a fast phased atmosphere and the costumer service is really good.“

“Been a long time customer as Lin’s Garden and now as Kiwi Bowl both locations. Try the crab cheese wontons! A fantastic family favourite!“

“My daughter was visiting from out of town and wanted to take me out for my birthday. The meal was great and the waitress was knowledgeable and very helpful as my daughter has a gluten allergy and had questions. The complimentary dessert was a very nice gesture, and we will be back“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😋“

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

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

“Out of words! Best place in KW. Try it out yourself and enjoy the food. Ive tried every possible dish here. They're quite busy and I accept cleaning up can be quite a challenge when its busy, but i personally understand the challenge and Asakusa has my heart ❤ for their food and hospitality.“

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

“Came in around 9 pm as most other restaurants in the plaza were closing up. This place had no issues serving us, we were able to buy the exact dishes we wanted (Manchurian chicken, crispy beef, Shinwa rice and chow mein), and the portions were all great. Have found it hard to get good late night eats here, but this particular spot is one I couldn’t recommend more 👍🏽“

“Edit. Quality seems to have gone down recently. I love the teriyaki chicken pizza and the last couple times I've ordered it the chicken was mostly fat and grizzle. Very disappointing

Love this place. Great food, great people, great service. Only suggestion, cover you booth benches in a different material, the fabric really holds onto stains.“

“Morty's has the best wings!“

“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 👍“

“Great food. Lots of varieties to choose from. Seems very popular with the university students. Well run restaurant - appears to be family run. Very friendly and polite. Enjoyed the smoothie and drinks as well. If you are looking for good wholesome Korean food, I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Loved the Bulgogi Bibimbap, BulGoGi Ddukbaeki and Jjang Myun noodles. Will be returning here to try out other items on the menu.“

“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. 👌“

“Great service
Went in at 7:30 and had no clue what I was gonna order.
The young woman was patient with me. I think it was 750 by the time I got my food. And she had no problem with me sitting there and eating, even though there was only 10 more minutes until they were closing.“

“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 in for breakfast the other day , had the pleasure of having char as our waitress, she was very attentive, and gave us good recommendations on the Cinnabon pancakes , they were sooo good , food came out fast! Coffee was amazing and refilled multiple times Will definitely be back again!“

“Good coffee , good location“

“I’ve been going to Campus Pizza for over 20 YEARS and somehow, it is still hands down the best pizza in town 🍕❤

Even after the owner changed, the quality has stayed consistently amazing. The pizza is always delicious, but honestly, the people are even better - some of the friendliest, kindest people you’ll ever meet and exactly the kind of local business you want to support.

Keep up the amazing work, you guys! At this point, Campus Pizza is basically a Waterloo landmark. 😂❤“

“Great selection of dishes, absolutely love the hot and sour soup.“

“Great owners, good food ❤️ Recommend!“

“Solid spot for Chinese food by Waterloo standards. It has an authentic and very nostalgic feel and the discounts are worth coming back for. Otherwise it's nothing to write home about...

I'd generally recommend any dishes with braised beef or pork because those tend to be better. Glad they are open late.“

“I have picked up pizza here sometimes and the store is always clean and organized. I recommend this place.“

“As someone who loves vegetables—especially bean sprouts and broccoli—and is also a big fan of beef, I genuinely love the food here. Everything is flavorful without being overly oily, so the meals feel fresh and satisfying. Their General Tso’s chicken and fried shrimp balls are absolutely delicious and definitely two of my favorites! They also do their best to accommodate special requests whenever possible. Everyone here is so sweet, soft-spoken, friendly, and welcoming. Great food and wonderful service!“

“Came to grab some take out dinner after a long day renovating my salon very near the restaurant. Ordered over the phone, there may have been some miscommunication because when I got home the order was wrong, I called and she said to come back. She changed my order with very little push back and I really appreciated that because my day was already so long and not going great. I come here all the time because it’s very near to my shop. The grilled lemon grass chicken with rice is just so good! It’s my favourite. So happy she was nice to me. I don’t know her name but thank you💕“
