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!“

“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.“

“When I lived in Pittsburgh years ago I visited this plane a couple times per year. It was always delicious Thai food. Now I come back nearly 15 years later and not only is it just as good, it is absolutely amazing and blew me out of the water. The quality of the food, the way it was prepared, the spices, the presentation, all around five out of five stars. Bravo. We had a hard time deciding what to eat, there were so many delicious options on the menu. We decided on the Massaman curry with lamb shank, the Halibut, the 17ingredient salad, and the yellow curry. Believe me when I tell you, you can't go wrong with any of those selections. It was cooked and prepared to perfection. The ambiance is also great whether you're alone or on date night. The drinks are top notch.“

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

“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.“

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

“Great food and very friendly staff.“

“Wonder atmosphere, delicious food & your staff is friendly, helpful, caring & very accommodating to food allergies. Excellent food prepared with beautiful presentation and delicious to the taste. Thank you for making our 49th wedding Anniversary such a memorable one.“

“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!“

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

“Great place to eat very friendly !“

“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!“

“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“

“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" ❤️👍“

“very good food! try the paella, take some to go and enjoy it the next day. it's so.good!“

“5/5 Stars — Easily one of the best sandwich spots in Pittsburgh, hands down.

I have been around for over 40 years and have eaten at sandwich shops all over, but Peppi's blew me away. Not only is this my absolute favorite sub spot now, it easily earned a spot in my top 3 favorite restaurants anywhere. It might even be number one.

The Highlights:
* The Food: The subs my wife and I ordered were unreal. Fresh, loaded, and hands down the best we have ever had.

* The Value: The portion sizes are massive for what you pay. It feels like a throwback to the days when you actually got incredible value for your money.

* The Staff: Some of the friendliest, most welcoming people you will meet. You can tell they take genuine pride in their food, their history, and taking care of their customers.

* The Atmosphere: Plenty of comfortable, clean seating and a huge menu with tons of great options to choose from.

If you are anywhere near the North Side, this place is an absolute must-visit. We will be back on a regular basis.“

“Great sandwiches and bakery items“

“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!“

“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)!“

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

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

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

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

“Can’t wait to go back. One of my favorites places in Pittsburgh“

“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.“

“They have so many beers to choose from that I felt like a kid in a toy store, but with the major advantage that here nobody judges you for starting to drink at two in the afternoon. My absolute favorite was the Gristly Bear Brown followed closely by the Porter, though with such a huge variety there are options for every taste and level of thirst. Since trying them all at once is a one-way ticket to talking to aliens, getting a flight is the best scientific strategy. The cocktails, on the other hand, are better left alone unless you want to put your tolerance for liquid regret to the test. Outside they have a lifesaver food truck just in case hunger strikes and you need to absorb the alcohol with some dignity. They accept card payments, but if you pay in cash they give you a discount that makes it totally worth digging through your couch cushions.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love the atmosphere and memorabilia. The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and eager to help. The food is delicious, and well presented. The restaurant was clean and inviting. So refreshing to be surrounded by true patriots! A wonderful experience!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Whenever I visit Pittsburgh I always go to Cafe Raymond for breakfast. I love their blueberry ricotta pancakes, they are so delicious 😋. I always receive great service and the staff is very friendly. Stop in, you wont be disappointed!!!!“

“One of the few good pizza spots in Pittsburgh!“

“food fantastic . waitstaff lovely.“
