50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“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!“

“Great place to eat very friendly !“

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

“I enjoyed my lunch. The food came out hot fresh and delicious and my server was wonderful. I’ll definitely be returning again.“

“Pusadees is a true treasure. The food is creative and exceptionally tasty. I've eaten here countless times and I'm consistently delighted. The drinks are delicious and the service is excellent. The interior, even when the gardens aren't open, is somehow both light and cozy. Yes it's hard to get a reservation, but if you get on the waiting list for a table, they regularly open up.“

“food’s amazing an fresh also was very cheap 100% recommend“

“I love the amount of real spices they use in their curries. I can tell that the restaurant has a great quality of food. I am very sensitive to (hot) spices, but I want to enjoy the flavors of Indian food. If I ask for a 0 the spice level feels too hot for me. Last time I came, I asked for them to adjust the spice level to be milder than 0. They were able to reduce the heat in the dish to levels I could handle without reducing the flavor. I have not dined in at this restaurant, but enjoy the ambience of the place. It is clean and the decor is eye catching.“

“delicious food, nice interior, and they do amazing charity for the community. wonderful people!“

“We are so lucky to have an establishment like Baby Loves Tacos in the East End! This family not only knows how to make amazing tacos, burritos, etc., but they also know how to feed the soul of a community. From their donation based coffee station to their pay it forward meals to their community meals at the end of the day when they have some extra ingredients, everyone is treated with respect and dignity. If you are craving anything on their menu, you won’t be disappointed. This is a must visit establishment when in the neighborhood.“

“Great food and fast service! Staff is kind and attentive!“

“To start the food was great! As soon as we sat down the service was amazing! Our server Emily was outstanding and knew exactly how to help us. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh.“

“Words can’t explain how special our experience has been at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. We were warmly welcomed by Isabella and Bassi, two of the sweetest hostesses I have ever met. They showed us to our table which included one of the finest views of Pittsburgh. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 8th year anniversary and our server Sydney truly made it special for us. The food was exquisite and each dish brought out looked like pure art. The crab cake (suggested by Sydney) was off the charts, some of the best I’ve had. Chef Dee really out did himself as our food was spectacular. Definitely a great place to celebrate a special occasion and would recommend to all of my friends and family!“

“Absolutely delicious! Everything from the cocktails to the food and atmosphere is perfect!“

“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.“

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

“Came tonight for my fiancés birthday and the food was absolutely delicious and Kate was an amazing waitress who made us feel right at home! She was awesome“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great sandwiches and bakery items“

“Had lunch there today with my husband. As usual, Peppi's did not disappoint. We both had the hot turkey hoagie with provolone, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. So good! The tomatoes were bright red and very tasteful. Such a great lunch and in my opinion best hoagie place around!“

“Stopped here while in town over the weekend and had a great experience! The food & service were both excellent!“

“Where can I begin… the food was delicious! Friendly service and real conversation. My family and I are from Indiana visiting for the weekend and we wanted to try Grandma B’s. Went on Saturday morning and it was so impressive we said “We’re coming back tomorrow before we leave!” Only to return Sunday morning and they had standing room only! Sadly my party and I were just going to head back to Indiana, hungry when they called us back in and said”We’re going to make room for you all up top.” They proceeded to prepare another area upstairs to accommodate our party! Hands down best food in service in Pittsburgh!“

“Great find on our trip to Pittsburgh! Great breakfast/lunch! friendly prompt service! we'll be back“

“Stopped in for a mid-afternoon bite. Excellent server Vanessa even got the drink recipe for us!“

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

“Great service - Great food“

“Tonight we ate at the Urban Tap. Our server Jenna was not only delightful. She was on top of every order both drinks and food. Clearing the table quickly. Filling drinks. And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.“

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“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!“

“First time at Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Robinson Pa. Had wonderful time. Great atmosphere! Food was on point and tasty. Pricing was good. Absolutely loved the table side quacamole and ceviche. Me and my wife Sheronne will definitely be back soon!“

“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!“

“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.

“What a wonderful experience while visiting Pittsburgh! Unique menu with the most scrumptious flavors! The desserts are to die for! You can tell the food is farm to table and pure! I will be back each time we visit!“

“Grist house is an emerald of our community. They provide a terrific place for friends, families, and pups to hang. The beer is top drawer, and it's always refreshing to see folks at the top of their craft doing great things. Easily among the topmost tier brewpubs in western PA.“

“Delicious and authentic cuisine cooked by a great chef with a superb staff. We will return!“

“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!“

“Shopped today for the game party tomorrow. As always your staff of ladies make me smile from inside out. They are always so welcoming and always say HI with a smile on their face and in their voice. Your bread products are the best in the area too. Is it any wonder why I return? Yes there is. It is the smell of the bread. It is the quality of your products. And it is the happy feeling I have from each of your wonderful ladies.“

“Been there for sit down and take out. Loved everything we tried. Great food for a really good price. Love to support local restaurants like this one! Ginger salad, green tea salad, sushi, and beef curry are all great. But we keep coming back to chicken noodle soup with coconut milk (Ohn-no Kauk Swe - SP2)!“

“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.“

“The Market in Verona is so awesome. It is so great to go in and get good quality food that you can reheat at home. I recently got the Eggplant Parmesan, pasta and risotto balls. Everything was so delicious and enough for another dinner. My husband got the Chicken Parmesan and really enjoyed it also. The service at the Market is outstanding and it was so nice to also meet Andrew the owner. I am looking forward to coming back again and getting more of this high quality and delicious Italian Food that reminded me so much of what my Mommy used to make. I highly recommend them.“

“we were there last Thursday to celebrate my birthday and also my bfs as they are on the same day. we heard nothing but good things. Pasta was cold, filet not prepared correctly then given back to me burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. We were so very disappointed. $200 wasted and I walked away hungry. Really don't think we would ever try again. On to another top restaurant in the city.“

“The ambiance and downtown location did not disappoint for our anniversary dinner! Succulent scallops, asparagus, brussel sprouts and filet were all cooked to perfection. Lobster bisque was delicious. Caesar salad had a strong lemon flavor and lobster tail also had a creamy rather than butter sauce, for those with specific expectations. Christian is an excellent waiter-server. Overall a very pleasant experience, although on the pricey side.“

“I have been eating at this Diner for 52 years. started at Irene's diner then pips diner and now. Johnny's diner !!! Magnificent breakfast and incredible soups. hidden jem in the city of Pittsburgh.“

“I have been to Cambodia serval times and have never had such great food in the US. The service, portions, and the decor was amazing. Highly recommended.“

“Beans and Greens were the best I've ever had! Tomato Cream and Alfredo were great! The Muffaletta changed my life.“
