50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“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“

“For six years I have been looking for a new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh since my old favorite one closed. I have never found a place that had the perfect food and atmosphere I was looking for until I entered Lilith last night. Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. The service from being greeted to the absolutely awesome server we had was excellent! The food had a wow factor rarely found in Pittsburgh. I’m not usually a huge fan of how vegetables are cooked most places and the veggies in my dish just blew things out of the water. You could tell they were fresh and local too. The fish I had was just amazing. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Needless to say I will be back again and again now to experience more culinary delights!“

“I was looking for the best Thai in Pittsburgh and I'm convinced I found it. Our server made excellent recommendations and made sure we always had fresh cutlery, sharing plates, and a full glasses of water. As someone who served in high end restaurants, I appreciate the details. Our food took a minute to come out, so our server brought us a glass of amaro to make up for the delay (which we were too caught up talking to even notice). The food was delicious and fresh. To top it all off the ambiance was amazing! I'm truly sad I'm only visiting and can't come back again anytime soon.“

“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!“

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

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

“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!“

“Very welcoming place. Great food and friendly people“

“My wife and I had several drinks there on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere was very chill but the drinks were top shelf. My wife went on and on about the blackberry smash and my smoked bourbon was fantastic. I highly recommend and would go back in a second.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Already looking forward to my next visit. Compliments to the chef.. everything that touched our table was outstanding! They have an incredible wine selection and our server Bri really tied the entire experience together with her friendly energy and overall great service. I recommend the Almond Chicken and the grilled veal chop!“

“For this cold, there is nothing like healthy Thai food and their soups that are so replenishing and delicious 😋. To start, some vegetarian rolls with cabbage, jengibre, pickled vegetables with garlic accompanied by a sauce with sesame and pecans, a flower and herb tea prepared by them uffff!!! Incredible!!! And the food and the Wonton Soup were the best!!! RECOMMENDED "Thai Me Up" ❤️👍“

“Cool for breakfast. Great location and atmosphere.“

“I’m typically not a mushroom person but the Oyster Mushroom sandwich was out of this world. Definitely will be making this a regular stop in my life!“

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

“Esquina Cantina is inside the historic Round Corner Hotel and Bar building. My husband and I ate one meal on their outdoor patio. Our waiter made a couple of mistakes but corrected them. We really liked our guacamole, tostadas, quesadilla, beans, rice, and non-alcoholic drink. The tacos had excellent tortillas, but my husband did not like the carne-asada meat.“

“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!“

“This is such a beautiful restaurant inside. Food was great, we shared some rolls and a couple of larger entrees which were all delicious. Make sure you get the fortune cookie dessert- so good! Cocktail list was a bit limited but lots of other beverages to pick from and the two we ordered were very good.“

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

“Their sauces cannot be beat. Especially for people who have never tried vegan food. This is the spot! Family owned worth the drive if you don’t live nearby.“

“Love visiting condado butler street when i’m in the lawrenceville area. It’s such a fun vibe & the food is always a 10. My #1 is the chorizo queso. Definitely a very well-managed location. Ask for the employee Phy if you go! Can’t wait until my next visit!“

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

“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.“

“My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Our server, Colton, was pretty fantastic. He made our experience there so great-elegant but fun. The food was a whole other level. I am dairy free and they were very accommodating. Overall, amazing experience.“

“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.“

“We had a great dinner here that accommodated all of us! They had fantastic and clearly marked vegan options on the menu and were very helpful with food allergies. The falafel was so good we got a second order. Even though they were short staffed, the staff was attentive and personable. The cocktails were also very good and well balanced. We'll definitely be back.“

“Had dinner here last week with several others for the first time. The owners are SO kind! They explained details and answered our questions to find the exact dishes we all wanted. The food was beyond fantastic!!! The flavors and spices were just right for each of us, and we will definitely be back!!!!“

“I tried 1:11 Juice Bar at the August Wilson Birthday Block Party. It was the drink everybody wanted. It was so fresh and good. I bought 4 and took a picture with my family drinking ours. I mean it was THAT fresh. And the flavors were unique. I’ve been looking for the page and now I found it! Just wanted to thank you guys and get some more juice!“

“The most special and incredible bakery in town! Especially love the raspberry danish, giant, chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon roll, and the sandwiches! The sandwiches“

“I took my Thai husband here for the first time and he gave it a 10 out of 10! Every dish we had was absolute perfection. The food was fresh and hand made. I highly recommend this place!“

“One of our top 5 restaurants in our decades of eating out! Inventive, unique, and well crafted cocktails to the Porchetta and Crab Trophie to the amazing Creme Brulee and affagato...All top notch! These chefs know what they are doing!!! Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays when we are normally in town otherwise we'd be here monthly!“

“Thank you for the tasty sweet pita you made for our celebration, it was very delicious and special! Everyone loved it!“

“Clean ,friendly and delicious.“

“The lady was so nice and the chef came out to greet us as we ate our meal. She was very helpful in explaining to us the flavors and styles of each meal. The restaurant was very homely where you know it’s that authentic family recipe passed down from generation to generation. Our food was hot and served in a timely fashion. We will be back soon it was a great meal for a rainy Pittsburgh day.“

“What an awesome spot! It has everything, coffee, breakfast, lunch and so much more. When you arrive you never want to leave! Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to go back.“

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

“The people and food is awesome. Will keep coming back to them to get my coffee fix.“

“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!“

“I truly go out of my way just to stop here. Carly and Jen are my Chillin besties and I adore them so much. Amazing drinks and good food.“

“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.“

“This was the best ice cream I have EVER had. Came here a few nights ago with my siblings and needless to say we were blown out of the water with how incredible this place was. The service was top tier, prices were fair for the portion size, and the ice cream itself was AMAZING. I believe it’s a limited flavor but we all got the strawberry scooter flavor and I could not recommend it enough. We literally went two nights in a row to get it. Hands down my new place to go whenever I am in the area!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“food fantastic . waitstaff lovely.“

“This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to. Family and I just got in town to visit brother. Brother made reservations for us. We were concerned that we were dressed way too casual for a fine dining spot. We literally just put our bags down before we headed to dinner. But the staff was warm and welcoming and responsive and knowledgeable (wouldn't recommend coming in looking like a bum though).
Food was great. I'm from Maryland, so I consider myself a seafood snob. But the salmon was well sourced, a great size and proportion, and cooked perfectly. Crabcake was on par with some of the best spots in MD.
Even the background music was soulful. . .and of course, the view was spectacular. Highly recommend this place“

“I visited this place on a therapeutic shopping outing and it was a hit. You could taste the authentic flavors, quality and preparation that was put into it. The staff and owner were so hospitable and very attentive and informative. I will definitely be back soon and even utilizing the catering options for my family events and when possible with my team. I was so mesmerized with the experience I didn’t take the best pictures.“

“Excellent pizza. Love the sausage.“

“delightful, charming and authentically French fresh“
