50 Best Vegetarian 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 drinks, incredible Martinis🍸, nice staff! The food was incredible with an incredible variety of dishes!“

“our server Nimra - outstanding drinks - Yummy food - exceptionall overall experience - price less“

“Delicious food! Huge portions! Will be back!“

“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!“

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

“Stick with the hamburgers!“

“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!“

“Very welcoming place. Great food and friendly people“

“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" ❤️👍“

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

“Wonderful Central American restaurant. We had pupusas that were super rico. Perfectly made and comparable to in other cities. Comes with great curtido (lightly pickled spicy cabbage) of course, and nice horchata. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic affordable and friendly Salvadoran place in the PGH area! Must visit and is conveniently on the red line of the T light rail so very easy to visit from downtown. (For some reason I or Google posted this review by mistake to Las Palmas so I’m reposting in the correct place)“

“If you know, you know. Lucy's Bahn Mi is a Pittsburgh staple, a must have, something worth going out of your way for... Arguably one of the best sandwiches in Pittsburgh this little tent (now food truck) has been positioned in Pittsburgh's Strip District for years right outside Bar Marco and it's a must have. They offer 3 sandwiches now chicken, pork, and tofu/vegetarian and they are all worth having. Sandwiches are served on split rolls with meat and fresh and pickled vegetables and topped with a sauce that's so good you can drink it. Love Lucy's and hope it's around for many more years to come!“

“My husband and my mom threw me a 40th birthday party at The Monkey Bar. We had the huge porch to ourselves, wonderful wait staff, and the management was great to work with! Highly recommend looking into this place for events - truly perfect evening!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Pizza was soooo good! The staff was so nice and the restaurant was clean. Sandi was super nice and didn't get impatient with us when we were figuring out what all we wanted! We will return!“

“An absolute delight! The food was exceptional — every bite was a treat to the palate. The service was equally outstanding, warm, and attentive. A place where you truly savor the experience. Most importantly, it's the kind of spot you'll want to return to again and again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The view is a 12 out of 10. The food was excellent and well prepared: crab cakes rivaling or besting what you find in Maryland. The wait staff was professional and upbeat-positive-friendly. Celebrated our 7th anniversary with a perfect ambiance.“

“Great views, great food and best service“

“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.“

“I took a spontaneous trip from Akron, Ohio just to come dine here again. I was craving the lobster and knew there were GF restaurants there to accommodate my Celiac. I made sure to put a note about being GF in the reservation. It was a little frustrating to be served bread shortly after I sat down. However, I was thrilled to have the veggies and cheese! Everything was delicious and I will definitely be back! Thank you for having a separate “gluten sensitive” menu available. This really helps eliminate the added stress of eating out with such a dietary restriction!“

“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.“

“Clean ,friendly and delicious.“

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

“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!“

“Not only are these some of the best subs we have ever had, but this place has one of the coolest atmospheres we have ever experienced. We just moved to Pittsburgh and were looking for our go-to sub place and Peppi’s was recommended multiple times. Walking in and you’re instantly met with real hard-working Pittsburgh people and a culturally rich atmosphere that highlights local celebrities, area history, and all around Pittsburgh pride. All this on top of an incredible sandwich and fries every-time and we have our spot for many years to come. We recommend trying the whole menu over time, but our favorites are the Santucci and the mushroom cheesesteak.“

“Authentic Italian dishes So delicious and kind service“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“The best Thai restaurant in town! The owner, Penny was amazing also the server, Jo the best. I highly recommend this Little Bangkok.👌❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“absolutely phenomenal food! the staff is amazing very nice and attentive! Victor took care of us and our expierence was definitely a 10/10 couldn't recommend more!“

“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!“

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