38 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!!!“

“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!“

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

“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“

The menu is ample enough to provide options, I am a big eater, my wife is watching calorie intake and my daughter is a vegetarian but we all found something. The service was excellent and the ambiance of the building provided and excellent backdrop to a wonderful meal.“

“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!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😋“

“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!“

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

“Our food was great! Ordered Chow Mein（Thin）vegetables, shrimp, spring rolls, beef with mushrooms and shrimp with vegetables (souse on a side) and each and every dish was delicious. Price to size ratio is very reasonable. Will order again :)“

“Morty's has the best wings!“

“Cute hole in the wall eatery. Food was great, made fresh to serve and good wait times. Hard to find as address is balsam but it is in behind at the back parking lot. There is zero parking there so best to walk around
Food will not disappoint 💞“

“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!!“

“Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant near UW Campus. Generous portion sizes at good prices alongside friendly staff. The sweet and sour chicken was super tasty and I couldn't even finish half of my Combo E even though I initially came in on an empty stomach.“

“Great burgers! Amazing flavors!“

“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. 👌“

“I've been to the Crazy Canuck several times over the last few years. Food has been consistently good quality and the prices are surprisingly great especially for what you get. If you are looking for HIGH value and enjoy burgers I'd give it a try.“

“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.“
