22 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Bristol

“I would love it if this place did cooking classes too.“

“Such a delicious little restaurant! I’m vegan, dined at Foglia with my carnivorous husband and we both loved it. The food is fresh and delicious and has multiple layers of flavor. It was such a treat. After our meal, Chef Pete came out to talk with us about our meal. Will definitely return.“

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed“

“Great food! Fun atmosphere“

“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!“

“You couldn't ask for a better sandwich shop. Good variety, good bread to fillings ratio. Online ordering is quick and easy.

I wasn't too sure what to say about atmosphere though. It's a sandwich shop, it looks and feels like a sandwich shop. It's the kind of thing you will really like if you like that kind of thing.“

“A wonderful dining experience…kind people, great waitress and outstanding food!“

“I freaking LOVE Bristol Bagel Works. These bagels are super fresh, chewy, and literally the best bagels I've ever had (and I've been to NYC so I know bagels).

You notice the quality right away. Also one of the few places that does a banger salt bagel. 10/10!!

The shop is comfortable and easygoing, and the people are awesome. I can't recommend enough!!“

“BHOP is my favorite place to visit when I come back to Bristol.“

“Thanks for preparing a fantastic New Years take out dinner. The shrimp Mozambique was outstanding. See you soon.“

“Definitely would recommend“

“Every meal is always fresh and delicious.Some of the best gravy I’ve ever had. Parmigiana is delicious and the portions are huge. Staff treat you like family and you will want to come back again and again“

“This is the most perfect hole in the wall kind of gem. The pastry counter is overflowing with a variety of danishes, turnovers, palmiers, cakes, rolls, and brownies. It feels like the never ending parade of sweets your morning isn’t complete without. The sweet and unassuming ladies behind the counter give humble suggestions and pile your boxes full with a friendly smile. The bakery is cash only and everything pictured here was $10. If you skip Batista Bakery when you visit Bristol (open 7 days a week) you have missed a golden moment in your day.“

“amazing food with a family friendly atmosphere!!“

“Pizza cold and undercooked. Meals arrived different times.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We visited **Aidan’s Pub** on **February 25** for dinner and had such a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly — **Riley**, our waitress, was incredibly friendly and made us feel like old friends. She took our drink order promptly and treated us with genuine hospitality.

We had a tough time deciding on food because the menu had so many interesting choices, so we split a couple of dishes — the **fish and chips** and the **Mild High meatloaf** — and I would *strongly recommend both*! The fish was cooked perfectly, and the gravy on the mashed potatoes was savory and smooth. Every bite was delicious.

The **service was top-notch**, and the manager **Roxy** was also friendly and welcoming, treating us with the same warm hospitality. It felt like dining with great friends in town rather than just at a restaurant.

We hadn’t been to Aidan’s in a long time, and this visit reminded us why we loved it. We’ll definitely be back“

“We hosted our daughter’s first birthday at Portside Tavern, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish. The event space was spacious, clean, and perfect for a private celebration. Set-up was easy, the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent. A special shout-out to Caroline, who was wonderful to work with and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Portside Tavern for any private event. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“good food, but charging for takeout utensils is just plain cheesy“

“Been there for the second time with Children..Very delicious food...“

“**MY EXPERIENCE**

Bristol's energy was palpable as we discovered a hidden treasure—a bustling fish market smack dab by the docks. The salty air was alive with anticipation, each breath a promise of fresh delights. We grabbed a sandwich, and what a revelation it was! The fish hit the spot with such freshness. This local favorite was a culinary masterpiece, lovingly crafted from the very boats that braved the sea for the freshest catches.

Watching the fishermen at work , The atmosphere buzzed with life, drawing us deeper into Bristol’s vibrant pulse. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a dive into local life, a snapshot of raw energy that defines this city.

Service was good as we ordered and sat outside , this is a small building . We left satisfied and truly in love with this slice of Bristol paradise. This is where the adventure truly kicks off. I will be back!

**HISTORY & CONTEXT**

Quito's restaurant Nestled in the harbor waterway this eatery embodies the region's rich maritime heritage. Fishing here isn't just a job; it's a way of life. Local fishermen have long depended on these waters to provide the freshest ingredients, ensuring every dish tells a story of the sea's bounty and the community's resilience.“

“Happy 2026. We usually get take-out from The Wave every week AND also dine-in every week. Everything from Pizza to Fish & Chips to Clam Chowder, Clam Cakes, Chili, Garlic Bread. All of the food here is consistently delicious. Lots of televisions and very clean restaurant. The staff and the cooks are always really nice! Thank you.“

“Food was great. However, we were virtually forgotten by our server. We waited ten minutes for her to ask if we would like a drink. When we got our appetizer from a runner she never came to check on us and my husband had to get up to find some to get an additional piece of silverware. We finished our meal and waited a half an hour to be visited. We asked for to go containers and watched her to serve two other tables before coming back ten minutes later with them. To give context we were sat at 6:15 and did not leave until 8. For two people who didn't get cocktails or dessert.“
