50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Austin

“There are a LOT of gluten free options, and the sushi is incredible!“

“Today was my first time dining at this particular Vegan restaurant and I must say that I am very pleased with everything, the staff is very friendly and welcoming, I’d recommend anyone Vegan or NOT stop by Mission Burgers… you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED… I give them 5 stars😊“

“If you're looking for a great time and a delicious dinner, this is the place to go. We had a large party and the service was top notch. Jonathan, our server, was amazing! He answered all our questions and was very informative. The entire party was impressed by him, the food, and the drinks. We can't wait to go back.“

“I would like to respectfully start with; I’ve been to Uchi multiple times over the years and will never forget my first experience (which will always be the best in my mind.) That being said — tonight might have been the closest to first I’ve ever had. Chance, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, easy going, brought some of the best plates when we asked “bring us what you like/anything you think we missed” literally 12/10 would recommend. Ask for Chance, he knows his shiiiiiiii* and made our night absolutely amazing and something we will never forget!“

“The brisket was ridiculously tender, seasoned just right, and you don’t even need sauce (but the sauce is still good). Portions are generous, the sides actually hit(that mac and cheese??). Not cheap, but 100% worth it.“

“Estância Brazilian Steakhouse is a place I’ve visited several times over the years, and overall it has been a positive experience. Like many steakhouses that operate at scale, the experience can vary slightly depending on the day. I did have one visit around Thanksgiving where the meat was noticeably too salty, which took away from the meal.
Since then, however, I’ve come back a few times for their lunch offerings, and those visits have been much better. I particularly enjoy their executive lunch option, which combines a good amount of protein with access to their excellent salad bar. The salad bar itself is one of the highlights here—fresh, varied, and thoughtfully arranged with plenty of options that go beyond the typical salad offerings.
The atmosphere is comfortable and the service generally efficient, making it a nice spot for a relaxed lunch or casual business meal. And a small detail that always makes me smile: the candy bowl near the exit. It’s a simple touch, but it’s a fun and nostalgic way to end the meal.
Overall, Estância delivers a satisfying Brazilian steakhouse experience, especially for lunch, with a standout salad bar and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Just completed a tour of the Central Texas Barbecue Scene. Visited Snow's BBQ-Lexington, Louie Mueller-Taylor, Kreus Market, Smitty's and Black's-Lockhart, The Salt Lick- Driftwood and Franklin's in Austin. It was great seeing the venues and the family history at these historic sites. I visited Franklin's in the past and felt it was the best brisket I had ever eaten in my life. I am a skeptic when it comes to famous barbecue joints. I must say that Franklin's BBQ was far superior to all of the restaurants I visited with no one even a close second. Aaron's attention to detail from the service, choice of briskets, the cook, the wrap, the holding and even the slicing of the final product is evident in every aspect of his trade. I was lucky enough to run into him at the restaurant and he happily talked BBQ with me. Franklin's may not have the long history of muti-generational BBQ in Central Texas, but he has figured it all out at a level that I have yet to see equaled by the best venues in the country. This is a bucket list restaurant for those who really enjoy BBQ. It is well worth the wait in line“

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Everything was good, but best brisket ever…“

“My wife and I had the best experience here for my birthday lunch, I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to eat at while in town for the Austin FC match! I can't say enough about the staff and the owner Joel who went out of his way to be extremely kind to us. Not to mention the food and drinks were so good. We'll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely the best vegan pizza in Austin! Hands down! 💜🍕🍕🍕“

“Great place! If you don’t order the cannoli, you are missing out!“

“Zucchini Kill is a fantastic bakery. Everything is gluten free, vegan and delicious. The lemon blueberry cupcakes are especially amazing.“

“Easygoing, quiet, unstimulating vibe with a serene outdoor dining area. Feels a lot like a Buddhist meditation retreat center dining hall. Loved to see several folks hanging out and quietly reading books. The food is nicely cooked and very mildly seasoned, which makes sense. But if you're selling Mexican food, how do you have NO salsas, peppers, or hot sauces?? Yet the tables have soy sauce and a nutritional yeast shaker? Like who made this decision lmao.“

“Great folks serving great food!“

“all vegan food that was very tasty! service was quick and efficient, not the friendliest but got the job done!! the food definitely made up for everything, especially the amazing baked goods!!!! 😍😍“

“Kudos to the chef! The BBQ seitan sandwich was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and the salad was a nice touch! The chef uses some of the best breads in his recipes! Love it! EVERYTHING on the menu is fresh, unexpected, flavorful and balanced! One of the best vegan must eats in Austin!“

“Great spot, friendly people. Get some of everything. Nothing disappoints.“

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.“

“We visited Moonshine Bar & Grill this weekend, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment the food arrived, it was clear we were in for something special—chef’s kiss doesn’t even begin to cover it! Every dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care and excellence. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was simply top-tier. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great food and great hospitality matter. 10 out of 10— We will absolutely be recommending Moonshine Bar & Grill and can’t wait to return! 🍽️✨“

“This was a cold vibe. Great vegan eats and a fun outing!“

“We stopped by late this morning to treat my 3 year old to a cupcake. We got the strawberry cupcake and vanilla cupcake. They were both delicious! The shop itself is cute and the staff are very friendly. Next time I will have to try the blue velvet.“

“Food was excellent & the atmosphere was very warm & cozy.“

“This is a small, cosy restaurant with a fusion of Mediterranean and Indian flavours using local, seasonal ingredients from Texas. The restaurant offers a four-course prix fixe menu with sophisticated and creative food (Time Out Worldwide) (The Texas Tasty).“

“This place is another delishhh spot�“

“Amazing is the only way to describe it.“

“We had party order from Sangam for our event during May 14th weekend for 3 courses (1 Lunch and 2 dinner) for about 100 people. Shiva was working with me and helped with the menu making sure none of the courses repeat any items including papad. He made suggestions based on our preferences and also guided us with the count and other details. Each of the delivery was made promptly at the requested time. The food provided was scrumptious and quantity was more than sufficient. Each of our friends were pleased with the food. Shiva - you are the best to work with and Sangam team , keep up with the amazing food and quality service you all provide. #indianfood #yummytummy #sangamchettinad“

“Luis R. was incredibly helpful today. I had made a mistake with my takeout order, and he immediately stepped in and took care of it without any hassle. He got everything corrected and my food out to me very quickly. I really appreciated how kind and proactive he was. It made what could have been a frustrating situation very easy. Thank you, Luis!“

“The steak frites were absolutely perfect—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right, with crispy fries that complemented the dish beautifully. Danny, the bartender, made the experience even better with outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was spot on. Great food, great drinks, and top-tier hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing food! Every dish we tried was DE-LICIUOS! Wait staff and hosts are lovely people. Atmosphere and vibe is warm and inviting here. My only suggestion for this restaurant is that they turn the volume down on the music. It really is WAY TOO loud. Other than that, visit often so that you can try the entire menu!“

“Fun times I was there for the 2024 Cheftochef conference!“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

“Best coffee spot in town. Love stopping by for all my coffee and puppy treat needs!“

“Only next level Japanese dining enthusiasts would be able to immediately recognize that they have chosen well. If you are lucky enough to discover the Happy Hour menu then you’ve hit the jackpot. Do yourself a favor and go because ain’t nobody have dry aged fish! What?!? Yes this separates Lucky Robot from the rest of the Japanese places in Austin. Put it on the bucket list folks!“

“Very good food . Customer service is excellent.“

“The best experience and great food“

“Totally new world of tacos! Amazing flavors, unusual combinations, super fresh ingredients and perfectly prepare. Well deserved James Beard award!“

“The service was fast and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! The best breakfast my wife and I have ever had!“

“First time trying Torchy's and I must say I was not disappointed! The self-service kiosks are pretty standard and the professional was very streamlined and quick. The food is pretty large in portion size so definitely recommend taking each entree as it comes, and not ordering too much at the beginning. Will definitely come back to Torchy's when traveling through this area!“

“Had fun catching up with friends here! 🤸🤸🤸“

“excellent dining in a great atmosphere an awesome service sampled a bunch of tasting plates from the fish tacos to the bone marrow and the oysters even had a wonderful dessert with their homemade ice cream and bananas did I say that the service was awesome top notch five stars all day definitely a place to visit in Austin“

“A great place! The gelato and pastries are very good and the atmosphere is nice. Pet friendly!“

“Great ice cream and great service“

“Review is for Tonari by Uroko.
I think there needs to be more concepts like this — 12 course omakase that only lasts 45min. (You simply don’t need to be at an omakase for 2-2.5hrs) Excellent dishes for the price point and glad to have still had time on my hands. The scallop, Wagyu, and fish bone soup were the stand out dishes for me. Would do this again and prefer it over a lot of overpriced omakases in town.“
