50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Salem

“Incredible food! I was absolutely blown away by how delicious and nourishing my soup was. I had Duk Mandu Guk, a delicious soup with rice cakes and dumplings in a savory broth. My mother-in-law had a yummy bulgogi bento box! I asked if they had dessert but they didn't unfortunately. And then one of the servers came over and brought me two little watermelon slices and made my day. 💖 Also the bathroom was incredibly clean and honestly really well decorated. The restaurant has lovely plants and decorations throughout, even the bathroom! Such a lovely place. I can now see why my Korean grandma-in-law loves this place!! And I had plenty of leftovers to take home too!!“

“Delicious DF/GF donut holes“

“I came to Offbeat Coffee for the first time today. The drinks were beautifully crafted, the baked goods were delicious, the atmosphere was somehow a cross between vibrant and cozy, and the servers were top notch with their customer service!“

“8/31/2025 was my 1st time being there! I was meeting friends here! I come in everything was cleaned and I ordered my food and got sushi it was super yummy and worth the money!“

“This is more than a pleasant surprise, this is my go to now for Indian food. My hubby and I went for a date night and it was perfect, so I had to take our kids about a month later and everything was just as perfect. The portions are phenomenal and they do not skimp on the amount of meat, veggies, or potatoes in each dish. Every dish I've tried so far(scroll down for more details on each dish) the meats have been perfectly cooked, along with the veggies and potatoes. Also most dishes come with a side of white basmati rice, which is very well cooked.

The staff are so very nice, friendly and will help you with recommendations as well as any questions on individual dishes. They really do know their menu, and I so appreciate that.

Spicy heat levels: The spiciness we've tried is medium, which my hubby says is the perfect amount of heat. While I find the medium to be extremely tasty, I don't find it spicy at all. I think the hotter levels(hot and extra hot) are the perfect level. So just be cognizant of your spice tolerance because the levels are noticeable.

Drinks: they sit you with a fresh bottle of ice cold water. I'm fine with just that. But they do have plenty of other choices.

Appetizers: We get the samosas with the ground lamb and oh my gosh so good. They are perfectly crispy, and huge. The filling is substantial, with a wonderful amount of ground lamb not just veggies. The spices and sauce is deep in flavor and should not be passed up. They also come with their cilantro sauce which is very bright and I do believe it is a tamarind sauce which is a bit sweet, on the side, they are both wonderful. It's nice to go back and forth, it's like having three different appetizers in one.

Sides: so far we've gotten the garlic naan. Each order comes with quite a few pieces to get you through your meal. It's freshly cooked not frozen. It has a nice crisp to it and a little bit of fluff. The butter garlic and cilantro on top isn't skimped on but doesn't make it soggy.
We've also tried the saffron rice. This was very tasty, it had a very satisfying saffron flavor and the rice wasn't dry at all.

Mains: Lamb curry is my favorite Indian dish and this one is so very good. They do a wonderful job of balancing all the spices so all the flavors really stand out.
Butter chicken. It's really buttery and rich. It isn't tomato forward but in a wonderful way, but that's personally the way I like it. You can certainly feel and taste all the wonderful spices they use, it is very well balanced, with perfectly cooked chicken.
Lamb vindaloo, the spices are so deep and everything has been cooked to really infuse those flavors into all the pieces.
Lamb mushroom, is mushroomy and they take on the spices so well. If you love mushrooms you're gonna love this combo of flavors.
Lamb biryani, this one has a beautiful blend of spices, rice, and huge lamb chunks all blended together. It's a dish that you'll take bite after bite just to taste that blend again.

So if you like/ love Indian food this is a place that i think will make you appreciate it even more. If you've never tried it and are curious this is a perfect place I think to start you off on an amazing journey. If you think you'd not like Indian food, I'll tell you I was the same until I took a chance and tried something new and found a journey through some beautiful flavors that I've craved ever since.“

“I love the laid back atmosphere where delicious food is served. Fresh salads with a variety of ingredients are very satisfying. The hearty wraps are made with wonderful combinations. My favorite are the sweet potato fries. They have a variety of sauces for dips too. I deeply appreciate the fact that they deliver Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. I have limited mobility and have difficulty preparing large meals. I can have the family over and be a happy hostess as a result of this service.“

“Great food. Friendly staff.“

“Best breakfast/lunch place in Salem! Large portions, fair pricing, and good service ☺️“

“Very cool people had no problem taking care of me very good place you guys should try it out“

“We had the greatest meal here. If you are looking for a vegan/vegetarian friendly place that also has local beer on tap, Venti's is a must. Their vegan grilled cheese sandwich was delicious.“

“One of my favorite places to eat or get takeout. Wonderful food, prices, and staff. We have been coming since they opened awhile ago and we are happy everytime with the food and service. The Owner especially is so nice.“

“We tried the Fried Ice Cream for dessert. We're taking a many years long survey of who has the best. La Vida Catrina does, IMO. Former best, now second best, was in San Pedro, CA.“

“The best place to eat vietnameses food and very friendly service“

“you cant throw a baseball in this town without hitting an excellent thai restaurant. we finally made our first visit here because the new menu they released recently had so many items we had not seen anywhere else. everything we tried was fantastic and we definitely will be back to try many more dishes.“

“Today they catered our lunch (for 15) at DSL Builders LLC in Salem. Excellent Food, Excellent Service, Excellent Variety. I would use them again and highly recommend.“

“We've only taken food to go, never ate at CG. But even on a Saturday night when places are packed, I call in an order and I'm told will be ready in 15 minutes! I arrive and the food is bagged and ready to go.
Get home and the food is consistently good quality. Not over-salted or drenched in sauces. Everything is fresh and tasty.
In the absence of Kwans - CG is our go-to for take-out Chinese food!“

“I have stopped in here twice in the last few months. Each time, everything we have ordered is excellent. Fantastic burgers and well thought out and prepared sandwiches. One of the best spots I have found in Salem. Highly Recommended.“

“Great selection of beverages and ice cream.“

“Good foods Delicious recommend you to try it and you will like it.“

“I'm a regular at The Sassy Onion and I highly recommend. the food is awesome and a shout out to ALL staff...you guys are the best.“

“We were in Salem for a concert at the Elsinore Theatre on Friday, November 1st, and were lucky enough to find the Wild Pear, to get something to eat before concert. I wanted to try everything on the menu, it sounded so good! I ordered the Butternut soup & Pear salad. Both were fabulous, & I can't wait to drive back to Salem to check out other items on the menu. We had awesome service and were greeted & shown to a table right away. You will not be disappointed! I will definitely be back, & wish you were closer to Vancouver, WA!!“

“Vegan Donuts: omg Dough Hook as the most delicious variety of vegan donuts I've found anywhere. I live in Portland, but Dough Hook is becoming a regular thing when I'm in Salem almost every week lol. Just the best I've had by far, and the varieties are excellent. Right this moment as I type, my favorite is the marionberry-lemon donut - yum. Definitely check it out if you're in Salem - order early!“

“It is hard to find good breakfast in this area and Cafe 22 hits the spot. I love their peaches, the pancake thickness isnt overly cakey and hard to swallow. The bacon is thick and cooked just right. The raspberry jam is real raspberry jam. The water mentioned in the another review is because they are on a well so it does taste little bit more tinnish, a lemon wedge in my water cured that. Stopped by the fruit stand for fresh strawberries, on the spendy side, but oh the flavor, absolutely nothing beats an Oregon strawberry. Had I known they did strawberry short cake, I woulda skipped the breakfast and went straight to the fruit stand.“

“The wait can be long during dinner but we love the food so it’s worth it. We went recently and our server Mo was great. We had the unlimited pasta bowl, we got salad and soup as well and both were amazing. The breadsticks were fresh and very warm as they came out. And the pasta was also amazing, I asked for a smaller bowl for the first one and they were super accommodating. We love going to this place so this review is for sure biased.“

“Our waitress was amazing!! So attentive and always asking if we needed anything! Our drinks and food was amazing and soooo good!!“

“great service and so friendly! their charcuterie board is delicious!!“

“A good take n' bake pizza, so if you have a little extra time you can pick these up and in 10-12 minutes have a hot pizza. During October they have a Jack o lantern pizza.

Vegetarian options: They have dozens of different veggie toppings.

Dietary restrictions: My daughter has a friend with allergies to gluten and this was one place that can accommodate her.

Kid-friendliness: They have mini pizza kits so that your kiddos can put their pizzas together. That's what I would always get my girls.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible parking“

“This fusion place is the absolute best! It's all very healthy food. I got a bowl with rice olives avocado chicken fish lots of veggies and the sauce was phenomenal....I bought some to take back to Chico and may stop and get a second bottle!!!!
Just another reason to come back to Oregon! 😀“

“Their menu is amazing.The best pork ramen in town .“

“The Nan bread tacos are amazing! Perfect mash up of Indian and Mexican flavors. Been back twice in the last month for them. Lamb is outstanding as well.“

“I am blown away by the Gluten Free pizza here, pretty much the best here in Canby!!!!!“

“Date night with my Lady and we decided to checkout the Momiji Sushi restaurant for the second time in the state of Oregon before our movie. Newport and SE Salem. Excellent quality and service. I do wish they had calamari like the Newport location. Other than that they good money!“

“I am blown away by the Gluten Free pizza here, pretty much the best here in Canby!!!!!“

“Waitress was very friendly, took order well and correct. One thing I may say noy so much as a bad thing but fries were brought out way before our food. Now maybe it was an appetizer we over looked. It was happy hour. Food tasted well, I order the triple cheeseburger sliders. I went to another McM. On Liberty and the burgers had a distinct flavor that I liked and these didn't have it. After all food was brought, the waitress dissappear for a bit. I guess a large party came in. We had a waiter come later and let us know and checked on us. Those were the only negative, otherwise everything else was great and I will be going back.“

“Apple Pancake is to die for - I actually walked 2-1/2 miles for one! While it has become pricey, it is well worth it.“

“Excellent food with great menu options. Perfect for people who need gluten free.“

“Walking into Bentley’s felt like stepping into a Christmas postcard—the entryway decked out in festive décor set the perfect cozy vibe.

- Apricot-cured pork belly tacos with pickled shallots + cilantro for the perfect balance of flavor.
- Blackened salmon over pea lentils and leeks—perfectly balanced.
- Mac n’ cheese leveled up with smoked gouda, bacon, and a juicy chicken breast.
- Daily special: pea risotto with chanterelle mushrooms (don’t judge the pic, it was divine!).

IIf you’re craving that warm holiday ambiance and unforgettable bites, Bentley’s is the Salem icon you need to visit this season.“

“Great food and awesome service. I'm here either dining in or picking up my dinner at least 3 times a month“

“Hands down the best Mexican restaurant the food they serve you is so delicious and super fresh super recommended this place the only thing I wished they had was pico de gallo salsa with the chips“

“This is my favorite place to get Pho. They're quick, the food is delicious and the staff is always friendly. The price is affordable.
This shop is always my first pick when I want comfort food. The broth is always perfect and the noodles are never soggy. I always recommend.“
