42 Best Vegan Restaurants in Newport

“We enjoyed having breakfast at this wonderful place while in Newport, RI. The people who own it and those who work there are AMAZING, friendly, and take the time to talk to customers while keeping service at the top of their list. They (from the kitchen to the front door) look like they love working there and have created a loving family environment. Of course, the line was out the door and down the street, but that was okay because everyone enjoyed visiting each other. There is just one warning, the portions are enormous. You know when my husband can't finish it, it's a lot. 🤣“

“My wife and I shared the Perfect Pear juice, which was excellent. I had the chickpea salad sandwich with cheese. She had the Coconut Bacon BLT. Both were very good. The sandwich bread they use is perfect Updated from previous review on 2026-03-18“

“Everything was delicious! We had a smoothie and a smoothie bowl. Very nutrient dense and high quality ingredients which is difficult to find these days while eating out so I truly appreciate that high standard. Highly recommend 🙌🏼“

“We just enjoyed a late lunch that was absolutely delicious! The lobster bisque was a great starter but the lobster Mac and cheese was the BEST we’ve ever had. Giant chunks of lobster were buried amongst the creamy noodles. We shared the lobster dish and it was plenty. \nThe fresh cod/ Fish-n-chips was also excellent, flaky light white fish. We waited 45 mins for our table, while sipping hot spiced cider - the food was well worth the wait.“

“Cru Café is an excellent spot in Newport. Even when it’s busy, the line moves quickly and service is friendly and efficient. The staff is cheerful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious. A great place worth visiting!“

“Great staff, and great food!“

“Steph and the team at scratch were SUPERB! Our catering order was perfect (tho we were sad the croissant machine was down) every thing was piping hot (or nice an cool). Everything was SOOO good. Ordering was easy, Steph ensured we had a great variety and enough to feed the post-wedding crowd. We did have breakfast here and it was stellar! Any event you need catered, be sure to check Steph and the team out. You will, NOT be disappointed!“

“If you’re coming to visit Newport and haven’t heard of Jo’s, it’s because it’s a hidden gem! Amazing local farm-to-table options that keep us and those who visit us asking to go back to that one place in Newport, I really loved! The service to guests with one or more allergies was superb! The chef personally came to our table on each visit to discuss what meals were safe to order. I have multiple allergies, so sometimes they would have made me my own off-the-menu special dish. I’ve never gotten sick once, and everyone who goes there with us when they visit always asks to go back on their next trip! ♥️“

“Today we made a pilgrimage to Basil Yu’s restaurant, Yagi Noodles. My son happened to see that Basil had become a successful restaurateur while he was watching one of Guy Fieri’s shows. We had become acquainted with Basil when we were all involved with a Boy Scout Troop in Manchester NH. We were disappointed to discover that Basil wasn’t at the restaurant, however we got over it when we found out it was due to a commitment to a fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation. Basil, You weren’t there, but your food is delicious. You get the Merit Badge! You weren’t there, but your staff is spectacular! You get the Merit Badge! We wish you continued success!

“Well yesterday i went there for the 4th time in my life and i had horrible food poisoning from either the seaweed or the sushi, i could´t even sleep because i was in agony but i will definitely come back just because the tempura cheescake is totally worth it.“

“We had an outstanding experience here on Easter Sunday. From start to finish, everything was excellent—both the food and the service were truly top tier. Our waitress was engaging, personable, and even took the time to share some Rhode Island folklore with us, which made the evening feel extra special. We’re visiting from Long Island and touring URI, and this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The cod and sole were beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. We also loved the espresso martini crème brûlée and cappuccino—such a perfect way to end the meal. Would absolutely return and highly recommend.“

“We love the Inside Scoop! The best“

“absolutely amazing and authentic northern Italian cuisine! I felt like I was transported back to Tuscany. such delightful and hidden gem!“

“Only bar in town that had a crowd watching UConn!“

“Amazing cupcakes! Moist, delicious, and great flavor choices!!“

“I visited the Portsmouth location for the second time this morning and this is a perfect first date spot imo. The large wraparound deck is so cute & cozy, like a farmhouse porch. & the coffee 🤩 I had a tiramisu latte last time, a cherry Garcia latte this time- I was not disappointed either time, the flavors were accurate without being overwhelming or weakening the espresso, & oh so delicious. The food is even better; the attention to detail & balance of flavor in the dishes is off the charts. I recommend the avocado toast or whipped feta plate, and if you’re not into coffee, their teas and lemonades are just as amazing.“

“As visitors from New York, where late-night dining is the norm, we often find it challenging to find quality food options after 9 p.m. when traveling. Gas Lamp Grille truly stands out in this regard, making it easy to enjoy a great meal even later in the evening. We’ve visited multiple times and consistently have a great experience. Seating is always quick, and the service is prompt, friendly, and attentive. The lobster rolls—both chilled and hot—are excellent every time. We also appreciate the option to choose between traditional fries, sweet potato fries, or a salad, allowing for a bit of flexibility while still enjoying a favorite dish. Whether the restaurant is busy during a UConn game or more relaxed on a quieter evening, the staff remains efficient and welcoming. It has become one of our go-to spots whenever we’re in Newport.“

“You can never go wrong with Ben & Jerry’s! This location is a good one to visit for the amazing the amazing harbor views.

The staff are always friendly, and go above and beyond. The ice cream always tastes amazing! To the staff that recently took care of me I was very appreciative of your help and I cannot wait to return.“

“Had a late dinner there with friends after a show a few days ago. The atmosphere was nice, with friendly and attentive waitstaff. The food and drinks were delicious, and they were very accommodating to changes to ingredients of dishes. My only criticism was the size vs price of my main dish. I got a vegetarian bowl with no added proteins, which I thought was priced too high for the serving size (more like an appetizer amount). But that being said, as above, it was delicious!“

“The garlic parm fries are amazing as was the Wally’s punch. Servers were super nice“

“Awesome bartender deserts are over the top“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP. Contact her via WhatsApp through the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Literally sitting here eating lunch for the first time ever. First off the food is absolutely fantastic. My waiter is awesome - cool dude - Mike recommended to me EXACTLY what I was looking for and knows the menu like the back of his hand. Great staff, Great food, Great Vibe Will def be back“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience with Theressa at Nikolas Pizza! Our varsity team was playing nearby at St. George’s Arena, and she was incredibly friendly, professional, and responsive while taking our order. We placed a very large order, and everything was handled perfectly. The food was delivered exactly at the time we requested, and every item was clearly labeled just as we asked, which was especially important because of food allergies on the team. That level of care and attention really meant a lot to us. We would absolutely call Nikolas Pizza again when we’re in the area and highly recommend them—especially if you’re working with a big group. Excellent service all around!“

“WOWWW LOVE!! This atmosphere is peak Newport . My mother in law and I sat at the bar and I truly had the best time. We got 6 oysters, 3 different kinds that were picked for us. All incredible. Drinks, incredible. This experience would have not been possible, though, without our bartender Mitch. Fast, professional, and most importantly friendly!! I live in FL but I can’t wait to come back.“

“Fast service & great atmosphere! Especially if you enjoy live bands. Oh and the food was great ! Definitely will go there as frequently as I go to Newport! ❤️“

“Initial service was very good. Music playing was very loud. After finishing our meal no one came back to inquire if we wanted desert or provide our bill. 30 minutes later we received the wrong bill from a different server. I needed to go to the cashier to figure it out. Average at best.“

“We had reservations in the back room (the old formal dining room). Sat next to window - but cold air coming thru the window made things terribly uncomfortable - had to put on our Canada goose coats to stay warm. We requested a move to the front tavern room - which we were graciously accommodated. Service and food in the tavern was excellent. We've been going to the BP for more than forty years - one of our favors in Newport. We especially like the ambience of the tavern room. Mussels and chowder are the best. But please forego the back room in winter - unless you like attic weather.“

“Beautiful day and tasty lunch for the 8 of us!!“

“Best indian food with best ambience love to visit it again“
