50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“Fantastic atmosphere, possibly the best out of any restaurant space in Pittsburgh. Fantastic menu options, including vegan. Beware of parking. We ended up several blocks away, and no valet.

Parking: No designated parking lot or valet. Lawrenceville street parking only“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent restaurant! Can’t wait to return. Everyone is so welcoming and fantastic hosts. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, art, and creativity while enjoying really outstanding food. It was the perfect spot for my birthday tonight. ❤️“

“The best foods, friendly service, and quick“

“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“

“Great food and great atmosphere and service. Service was on point.“

“Service and food were awesome!“

“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.“

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

“Best Vegan Buffet in Pittsburgh!“

“got take out today. great food and excellent service. if you ask for it spicy, you won't be disappointed. highly recommend and will be back to try other things on the menu.“

“This place has immaculate service and I absolutely refer them for food and chill ambiance. Yall are good people!!

Wheelchair accessibility: From what I scheduled, the wheelchair accessibility was amazing and they were absolutely accommodating. My experience was amazing!!“

“The domino arepa with beans and cheese was very good! This was a great lunch spot.“

“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!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Great views, several floors up overlooking a mountain top above the city. Ambient lighting and music add to the atmosphere. Food is very fresh and cooked perfectly! The bar has several areas to drink and just relax as well. $5 cash only tram ride to come up from the city to the neighborhood the restaurant is in.“

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

“Stellar experience from top to bottom. The view is amazing - probably what they are most known for and it does NOT disappoint. We were not seated at the window and it did not matter (though window is better - it's all great). Our meal was amazing - I had the sea bass special and my wife had the pork chop. We also kept getting extras throughout the night - popcorn to start, an amuse-bouche mushroom "shooter", some amazing bread. All in all, this was everything we hoped for when we made the reservation. We were in town for only a few days and were spoiled by our meal here. Would absolutely go back again if we find ourselves in Pittsburgh in the future. I would recommend you use the valet service as parking anywhere nearby is a crapshoot.“

“Absolutely amazing food. We had 7 different things and they were all full of insane flavor. Highly recommend!“

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

“We went to Eddie V's to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. The food, service, and ambiance were outstanding! The lobster bisque was so delicious! If you are celebrating a special occasion or a special date night out I would highly recommend this restaurant! 10/10 And make sure you take a stroll through the union trust building! Beautiful!“

“Great restaurant. Amazing full American Italian experience. Super staff!“

“Clean ,friendly and delicious.“

“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“

“This is a great addition to the Southern Tier brand. If you've been to the Southern Tier in Lakewood, Buffalo, and Cleveland, you'll love this location.

The staff, layout of the restaurant, the quality of the beer, the variety of drinks, and the size of the menu are all consistent with the high quality of the Southern Tier brand.

Cheers!“

“Great food. Friendly folks.“

“Great service - Great food“

“Absolutely unique small restaurant in Pittsburgh. I think they have the best submarine type sandwiches among other things in the city. Their outdoor tables are different, because it's a tiny restaurant. For six of us it was great eating outside. The restaurant is fast, convenient and the food is delicious and reasonable.

Vegetarian options: I get the shadyside hoagie it's all veggies. I'm actually a meat eater but I love the shadyside.“

“Wow...what a restaurant. 3 of us were celebrating our 74th birthdays as we do annually and chose Eleven as our "special" dinner. Smart choice. Jeanne was our super server. Personable, knowledgeable, helpful. Took pictures for us. Everything you want in a good server. The food! We started with just a half dozen tiny sweet, slightly briny oysters with mignonette. We all decided on the swordfish with forbidden rice & rock shrimp risotto, smoked peppers, olives, lemon, fennel, watercress. One had the most interesting Caesar salad with the creamy dressing on the bottom and a vinaigrette over the top which you then stirred together. Best Caesar! The swordfish was moist, delicious and the risotto worked perfectly with it. Incredible combination. Two of us shared a trio of sorbets that tasted as fresh as the fruit in them. As a small token to recognize our birthdays, the restaurant served this sweet little dessert. The restaurant itself was a former ice house and has been a 2 story restaurant there for 20 years. Very nicely done with multiple rooms for small gatherings. The noise level was energetic but we were able to talk just fine. Overall an incredible experience and I highly recommend this place in you are in Pittsburgh.“

“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.“

“Great food and very friendly staff.“

“Great food. Friendly folks.“

“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!“

“Went here for birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. We waited about 20 minutes to put our names down, then maybe 15 more to get a table. Once we ordered, the food arrived within five minutes. The potato dumplings with rye crumbs are one of the best bites I’ve ever eaten. Also had the onion and cabbage pie and the celeriac schnitzel; both very good but slightly less mind-blowing. The drinks are also amazing and made with in-house syrups.“

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

“Can I just say that our experience at Capital Grilr was top notch and sets this restaurant light years apart from not only Pittsburgh restaurants that are not fine dining and are more casual, BUT also other high end restaurants in the area as well! From the very beginning, we called to confirm our ressies and Olivia was so kind as our host, assuring us they would make our son, Max's 16th birthday memorable! ? Then we had Jay (sp?). Shout out to Jay for being so warm and friendly and not only cleared our table and filling our water glasses but he was willing to take some awesome photos of our fam celebrating the birthday boy's 16th b-day!? He even hardly grazed my hubby's arm with with a straw and despite my husband telling him he totally didn't need to, he took the time to go and get him another straw for his drink!? Now that's service at it's best, despite us not being germaphobes and not thinking twice about the arm graze. Last but not least, our waiter itself was CARLO and let me just say, he did not disappoint. Carlo not only met our every need and was back often to check on us, BUT he even anticipated every plate needing to be cleared, (which you don't see much since Covid) and also kept refilling our drinks and even my two boys house made lemonades! He didn't even need to ask, he just knew and would bring out more! He made excellent suggestions and wasn't the slightest bit bothered with a request of extra ice or horseradish on the side for our steaks. Best waiter we have had in over a decade and I am not exaggerating! Thank you Carlos and we will be sure to request you the next time we are in. We are on a tight budget, but love the idea of extra special occasions, such as birthdays or anniversaries eating at this top notch establishment. Capital Grille is hands down the best steak house in the ‘Burgh and believe me there are a lot of them these days. I would say their customer service is what stands out most and we are picky on kindness of waitstaff!?“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“Great sandwiches and bakery items“

“I love empanadas but ever since I found out I had a gluten sensitivity, I stopped eating them. That is until I found this gem with their corn meal empanadas shells! Their empanadas, their arepas, and those tostones, watch out now! Fantastic!“

“Food was delicious. Prices are low. The service was awesome!“

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

“A small but delightful place to go get some Pho or a Banh Mi. I generally get the chicken pho and crispy spring rolls and was not disappointed.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's all on the first floor. Very wheelchair accessible.“
