50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“Incredible food, drinks and service! The atmosphere is lovely as well, it's a treat to dine in the garden when the weather is warm. They have very creative and delicious cocktails, I enjoyed their take on an old fashioned with chai tea and smoked cedar. I recommend ordering family style so you can try as much as possible. The roti with chicken curry, pork satay, tuna laab, 17 ingredient salad, stir fried morning glory and mushrooms, chicken jungle curry and khao soi beef cheek were all delicious!!! We also enjoyed the coconut ice cream and Thai custard for dessert, it's hard to go wrong here when everything on the menu is so good. Tables are hard to book, but if you can't get a reservation you can walk in if you show up 15-20 minutes before they open“

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!“

“Second time eating at this gem, bringing the family along. I had the tikka masala, and family had red curry, chicken quesadilla and Hawaiian stir fry. The flavors were SO delicious and everyone loved their meals. It's great they offer vegetarian protein choices and substitutes. Owners are super friendly. We can't wait to come back again!“

“If you love good food and a tremendous beer selection, look no further. The Bloody Mary’s are pretty good too.“

“Me and my girlfriend went to Baby Tacos today for the first time we got there a few minutes before they opened. Who I’m assuming the owner was very friendly and still waited on us. The food was done in minutes and when I went to check out he told me to put my money away the first one is on the house. There aren’t to many businesses like this one in this day and age. Food was great will definitely be a return customer“

“We didn’t have food. Stopped for a drink before a Penguins game. Our bartender Lindsay was top notch. She gave us an education on mixology. We concocted an old fashioned with High West Campfire bourbon and molasses bitters that came out as the best old fashioned I ever had. Always great experience here but Lindsay made it perfect.“

“Great neighborhood pub vibes but a little more elevated. Fair prices and great seasonal fare.“

“What a wonderful experience eating here! As a person with a strict gluten free diet, I loved being able to find a restaurant that not only offered gluten free items but items that could be made gluten free! Everything I have tried has been amazingly prepared, the staff is excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed and beautiful. I'll definitely be making this a favorite dinner place!“

“Buena comida 🥘 súper delicioso Recomiendo mucho mucho, que venga a probar nuestro platillo especial 🍝🍚🧋“

“During our March 2023 trip to Pittsburgh, my wife and I had an unforgettable dining experience. The fire-grilled steaks were cooked to perfection, delivering incredible flavor, while the Tres leches dessert was a delicious, memorable treat. It was truly the best meal we’ve ever had—an easy 10/10.“

“The food was AMAZING! The service was AMAZING! The drinks were AMAZING! We are going back tomorrow because we loved it so much! We had cheese curds (the sauce was the best!), the mussels, pulled pork nachos and shrimp tacos! All were hands down the best we have had! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Don’t walk RUN to this place!“

“Food was delicious! We had a pupusa with beans and cheese, a chicken burrito (huge) and a torta (also huge), and everything tasted great!The only thing that would have made it better would have been if they served chips and salsa while you wait for your food.“

“The best breakfast I've had in a long time! Great atmosphere and polite helpful staff.“

“I tried the spicy fried rice and it was certainly spicy lol. It was also super incredibly delicious. I need to come here more often. There are just a few seats to eat there. I will have to report back when I try the pad Thai. Obviously the banh mi is excellent.“

“I was in town for the results of my father’s pet scan, staying with my cousin in Lawrenceville. This neighborhood situated near the strip district adjacent to the city center is awesome, loads of great bars and restaurant's and I found a gem that serves some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. I was also lucky enough to have a bartender by the name of Larkin that not only had a great personality but made both the best margarita and the best Michelada that I had ever had. Very happy to be able to Larkin and round corner cantina a great review!“

“Look for our server, David M. Friendly, great sense of humor, provided advice on food and drinks. I wanted a Porter or a stout, and he joyfully replied “Left Hand Milk Stout!” He nailed it.“

“The best pizza in Pittsburgh!! Fast and fresh!! The store is cute and clean.“

“the best pizza I've ever had! the place was packed, but the wait time for the food wasn't too long.“

“Zenith is a local treasure!! I love the shared seating, I have met many lovely people. The vegan menu is extraordinarily generous and affordable.“

“This restaurant is the best thing that’s happened to Swissvale. It’s fantastic, accommodating, and has the absolute best and nicest owner you could ever meet!!! Everyone who walks in here becomes family!!!“

“Tapas are amazing and atmosphere is fun! Come check it out.“

“4/5 food - portions are delicious, shareable, but a bit small.
5/5 atmosphere
4/5 service - service is grand, but it always takes 40 minutes to pay.
I’ve been here several times and highly recommend it. Just be certain you’re going for an experience, and not a meal.“

“I ate at Arepittas in September 2022 when I visited Pittsburgh. I enjoyed everything I ate. I hope to visit Pittsburgh (and this restaurant) again. The food and service were excellent.“

“Our large party had a wonderful experience celebrating a college graduation at Monterey Bay. Our group was accommodated at a table with a beautiful view of The Point. The service was exceptional, and we felt very welcome and special. We were not rushed, our graduate was made to feel extra special with complimentary dessert, and unique postcards signed by the table. The staff even offered to take our pictures in front of the amazing view. The food was very good, albeit pricier than what we are accustomed to, but we knew that when we made the reservations. Highly recommend for a special event.“

“Such a great atmosphere! We loved coming here for the food and the drinks! Phy was our bartender and she was great! We will definitely be back“

“Great views, great food and best service“

“...simply, absolutely amazing. You know what the buzz is about...“

“We had a perfect evening with friends at Eddie V's last night. Our server, Courtney was great. She paced our food and drink service and was very professional and pleasant. All of our food choices were excellent including oysters, beet & burrata salad, ahi tuna and parmesan crusted sole. Our favorite dessert was the delicious Meyer Lemon Tart. We also really enjoyed the jazz vocalist in the lounge.“

“Consistently delicious, fresh ingredients prepared expertly, incredible service. Couldn’t ask for a better breakfast experience!“

“Had a great time enjoyed the food enjoyed the service. Everyone there was so sweet. Everything was on point and the birthday girl was happy. She even got a complementary cheesecake. You can't go wrong with service so great. I suggest that everyone tries the capital Grille is definitely worth it every dollar spent was good for me“

“My family went for lunch on Saturday, the place was absolutely packed! And for good reason, the food was absolutely delicious! And the service we received from our waiter was perfect. Elijah was very attentive and always happy to meet my toddlers many requests 😅 Also would like to add that even though they were super busy, it took them less than 10 minutes to get us seated and the food didn’t take long to come out at all. All the food was hot and fresh, even the strawberries were freshly cut. We will definitely be spending many more breakfast and lunch dates here!“

“Service was excellent. Food was good although a little sparse. Haven't been here in forever but I remember (as well as everything else out in the world) I got a bit more on the sandwich. Still good and will certainly be back. Not sure about the review that said "no cash in 2025" but when we went today, they are still cash only. $30 for two hoagie combos (sandwich, drink and fries).“

“Great service - Great food“

“Always delicious! Meghan and Barry where awesome servers and the food was top notch!“

“Great food and very friendly staff.“

“Great sandwiches and bakery items“

“Loved the Strawberry Fields chicken salad, the chicken bacon Ranch Piadina, and the Pizookie Trio was so decadent! Dustin B.was our server. polite, professional, helpful and friendly. Ask for him when you stop in!“

“(Photos from dine-in)
My wife and I have been coming to Maiku for 3 years after finding the good reviews online. We have NEVER been disappointed by Maiku in the dozen or two dozen times we've eaten here. Both dining in and take out, the food is always hot, fresh, and flavorful. The owner is the sweetest woman in the world, and the staff always packs up our take-out orders with the care of a family member. I've been recommending Maiku for years, and figured it was time to leave a review as well. Food, pricing, and atmosphere is a 10/10. Hands down the best Pho in the city, and, in our opinion, best in the country. I'm going to miss this place when we move!!!“

“the food is pretty good... but the service is Horrible!! Super slow... no smiles or greetings if you're not Indian. One guy waits on the whole dining room is completely rude and non-verbal... I decided to order to-go last night instead of being ignored in the dining room again and they said 40 minutes... I waited an hour and a half for it! the guy tried to put a Diet Coke for free instead of an apology... I dont even drink Diet Coke. The food is fine but they dont care about the customers at all!“

“I love this place. I can’t say enough about it, the service, the portions, the grade of fish I was served, everything is always spot on. I’d recommend the seaweed salad and the sushi and sashimi platter.“

“One of the most satisfying meals that I've ever eaten.“

“Finally had a chance to stop in and have dinner, I wish I had come sooner. The staff was friendly and courteous. The food and presentation were excellent. Definitely stop in if you in the area.“

“Food was amazing. Location is awful. Came out after dinner and our car was smeared with ketchup packets. Wish it was in a different area, would definitely go back. Feel the area is not safe.“

“My new favorite drink is a French 75. I pair it with baked olives, twice cooked fries and a margarita pizza. A favorite casual meal!“

“The vanilla latte was delicious. I ordered a large to go. The pastries and croissants are delicious as well. Highly recommend this place“

“We had so much fun trying all of the dishes on our list (we chose 5). Don't over order, ask the staff for recommendations on portions for your group size. We did this and thank goodness! We had more than enough with variety and meal sizes. Great beer and wine selections as well!“

“I frequent this restaurant often. I came in last week and requested a few items substituted on my salad due to dietary restrictions. Toi ensured that my food came out correctly and didn’t make it seem like I was asking for too much (unlike serves in the past)! Now that’s GREAT service! She also is hilarious and she is a ball of energy! I will be back soon, and I only want Toi as a server moving forward! Thank you again, Toi!“
