50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Providence

“To put it plainly, this is my favorite establishment ever. Incredible incredible food, and very cheap to boot. This is the type of place where you immediately sense that the owner is someone with a mission--to serve the community by providing delicious and affordable vegan food for everyone. It scratches that itch for traditional deli food, without the animal abuse; a rare gem.“

“Had to get a late supper. We are travelling and found this place on Happy Cow. The food is fantastic and so is the staff. If you’re in Providence check this out. Vegan and Kosher…priceless.“

“We stumbled across this place tonight without realizing it was entirely Vegan. We're not Vegan ourselves, but our daughter is, so we eat a lot of Vegan cuisine. I ordered a zucchini "steak" dish that sounded unique, and my hubby got the country "chicken." Both were extraordinary - the best meal either of us has had since we moved to RI (and we've had some great meals). The food was honestly bursting with flavor, and the quantity was just right. The service was perfect, too, attentive without being intrusive. We debated getting dessert, since the dinner flavor left such a satisfying taste behind, but we couldn't resist the gluten-free chocolate brownie. It came with raspberries on top and a trickle of raspberry sauce, in a combination that was again perfect - crispy edges, a gooey center, sweet and rich but not too much so, with the raspberry flavor offsetting the chocolate in a way I've never tasted in my entire not-particularly-young life. It was so, so good, and to my surprise, it blended well with the dinner flavors. I've been sitting here all evening enjoying the last remnants of the taste, reluctant to go brush my teeth, and I thought I should take a moment to leave a review on the various sites. We will absolutely be return customers, and we can't recommend this restaurant enough!“

“I enjoy the different vegan and plant-based option at Plant City. There is the option to eat more casual downstairs, there is nice outdoor seating overlooking the river and bridge, and the upstairs Sezn offers fine dining. I tried Sezn for the first time and enjoyed the sweet potato gnocchi, eggplant lasagna and matcha strawberry shortcake. It was a beautiful atmosphere with very attentive staff. The food was exceptional.“

“The food was spectacular and the server was amazing. Malyse was a great server and recommended a lot of delicious dishes!“

“Holy mackerel was this place good. I've been trying to get here for some time now on the recommendation of a friend, now I know why! the staff was great and the food was excellent it's adorable inside as well. for such a tight area the parking was still pretty good. Will definitely come back many times.“

“Gracie’s vegetarian and tasting menus were creative, fun, and delicious! Can’t wait to discover more.“

“I just tried the food for the first time. I had a classic Greek pita (with chicken) and a steak skewer as a side order. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The establishment itself was very clean. This place will definitely be my go-to for Greek food. It’s a great addition to the neighborhood.“

“We had a wonderful anniversary at Hemenway's recently. We would highly recommend it for the excellent food, service and atmosphere. We'll be back the next time we're in Providence.“

“The food was great and the staff were awesome. They went out of the way and made us Chai(Chai Tea)“

“Been patronizing Angelo's for years (years & years) - it's my 'Go To' place in Providence for Italian. There are plenty of good Italian Restaurants but Angelo's treats you like family . My favorte server is Thera - always smiling - always friendly - and always flying around the resturant making sure everyone is happy. My recommendation - ask for her :-)“

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert. The only thing was when it costs $13 for a glass of wine, I'd like a good pour. The pours were a bit small. Service was excellent. Pricey but expected this, would definitely go back.“

“I wish I could post a pic of my delicious cone of graham cracker and mint chip ice cream, but it didn’t make it to the car. Both made with cashew. Couldn’t have been better. Next time trying the deli.“

“Just had the most amazing chicken Caesar salad wrap …I can’t get over it so I had to give a shout out and I won’t stop talking about it for at least a week 🤣 this was my first time trying this place and I can’t wait to come back!!“

“Food was awesome, service was awesome, menu was big ranging from things like pho to BBQ + combo Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi). I have been craving this place ever since I got it the other day. The springrolls were fresh and the sauce was tasty. The peanuts that came with the sauce were good and not soggy. Coming from Lowell, MA, I can say I am satisfied with this place! Looking forward to coming back!“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“One of my favorite restaurants on “The Hill”. The dining experience at Massimo is always a 5 star experience. Yesterday afternoon we had Janelle as our server and she was superb- it made it a 5 star PLUS visit. Blood orange Cosmos, eggplant appetizer, chicken parm, pistachio cannoli, tiramisu- all excellent. Highly recommend“

“Wonderful place to eat the best Middle Eastern food in RI , they also have some outstanding deserts, I would recommend this place for sure“

“Great teahouse located right on Broadway in the Federal Hill district. My wife and I had breakfast there. The chorizo breakfast sandwich was delicious. Stop by and try them out, you will love it!“

“I have numerous food allergies, making going out to eat an anxiety filled experience for me. We found Cassarino's while looking for a safe place to eat while in Providence. I've struggled with finding an Italian restaurant I'm comfortable eating at for years! Our server, Morgan, went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe while eating here! I would happily take the 45 minute drive down here to eat again.“

“Cheryl and I dined with friends last night at Casa Azul Taqueria at 840 Allens Avenue in Providence. Although the place is small, with just three tables and primarily offering takeout, the food is fantastic, featuring great vegan options. We're definitely going back!“

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!“

“Fabulous special occasion cozy spot. Fabulous for gluten free dining.“

“The tandoori chicken and clay oven kababs are frequently praised“

“Wonderful night tonight at Cafe Nuovo celebrating a birthday for our twins. The food was fantastic and the server was wonderful. We loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Fun place! Good food (like pizza .. yum) and great drinks. And pinball. Whats not to like?“

“A small but cool space with a mixture of bar seating and double tables.
Six of us descended on Pickerel around 18:00
At this point there were already a few diners but we found space at the bar without problem.
I have to say that I did worry some about the small menu, but between 6 of us ( ages ranging from 54 down to 8 years) we tried pretty much everything on the menu and it was all delicious.
Amazing creative food
Ice cream desert to die for
Wonderfully welcoming staff

Next time we are in the USA we will certainly be back“

“Food really good good place“

“The best spicy margaritas in RI! Pair that with shrimp street tacos & guacamole with chips...Winner!! Friendly wait staff. Perfect spot to sit outside & people watch after walking around the city. Highly recrecommended“

“we had a wonderful experience sitting at the chef's table today for brunch! everything was delicious, we will definitely be back“

“Delicious smoothies! Highly recommend arriving early in the morning, especially on a Sunday. Filled with college students and locals. Unfortunately it was a 50 min wait for takeout at 11 am on a Sunday. However, the sandwiches look amazing and we hope to be back!“

“Lucky Enough Bar and Grill lives up to its name—you’ll feel lucky to have found it! The food is top-notch, with a menu that hits all the right notes, whether you’re in the mood for comfort classics or something with a creative twist. The drinks are just as impressive, especially their outstanding whiskey selection, which is a real highlight for any enthusiast. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, they make every visit feel like you’re part of the family. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, killer drinks, and awesome vibes, Lucky Enough is the place to be.“

“Absolutely amazing food, people, scenery everything!! Love this place“

“Great atmosphere, friendly, efficient service and delicious food!“

“This was our third year stopping for lunch on our annual trip to RI and have LOVED the pretzel sandwiches every time! Was a tad disappointed to see them downsize their pretzel size since last year so over all sandwich was a bit smaller, but still delicious! Love the chicken salad, BLT, and Cali chicken! Soo yummy! Please note that they do not offer changing tables in the bathrooms, so had a hard time changing my toddler after our lunch. Otherwise nice experience!“

“Our server, John, was absolutely top notch, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, timely, attentive, and just a total pro at his job, he represented the restaurant beautifully and if I ran that place, I would be sure to keep him in the public’s service, food was great, view was great, 5 stars.“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“

“Today was my 62nd birthday. Tori the waitress brought me a cup of Gelato with a lit candle in it. She is a great waitress and I recommend Pasta Beach to anyone looking for a great restaurant with great, fast service and yummy food“

“Came here spontaneously for lunch, it did not disappoint!! I ordered an iced matcha latte and the lunch special Yakisoba + shrimp and tofu with a side of miso soup. My friend ordered the miso ramen with a side of shumai. All of it was so good. I am already planning on coming back!“

“We had the privilege of dining at Mills on Friday evening. As out-of-state visitors, our experience at this establishment will undoubtedly prompt us to return. From the complimentary valet service to the ambiance and cuisine, the overall experience was exceptional. The culinary offerings were of the highest quality, exceeding any preconceived notions we had. The restaurant also handled my dietary restrictions with the utmost care and sensitivity, allowing me to enjoy the meal without concern for any adverse reactions. I strongly recommend that you visit this restaurant, as you are sure to be thoroughly impressed.“

“Quick service, decent latte. I ordered a pretzel chocolate croissant as well - croissant was flakey and light, the pretzel/saltiness paired well with the not too sweet chocolate in a well balanced combo.

I would definitely stop in again and try out their other bakery items.

There is a small parking lot behind the bakery with a couple of spots as well as street parking available.“
