50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Austin

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

“This food is amazing, and I'm not even vegan! Michael was super nice and gave me a free cookie. The BBQ plate looked, smelled, and tasted soooooo good. Vibes are great, and there's outdoor seating too for when it's not 105°F outside. Highly recommend for vegan and non-vegans alike!“

“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!“

“Went to Eddie V’s Downtown Austin with a group and had a great experience. The service was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly for a larger table.

The food was really good. I had the sea bass, which is one of my favorites anywhere, and it did not disappoint. We finished with the crème brûlée with berries, which was light, not too sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal.

Great spot downtown for groups, good food, and excellent service.“

“way too expensive. Atmosphere is Nice. ribs are soft and pull off bone with perfect bark, however too sweet for my personal taste. I like savory spicy. brisket was good but should have gotten marble like last time. last time flavor was better and meat was hot and fresher. sausage was a no for me personally it tasted grainy and was barely warm. Mac and cheese is good and husband said potato salad was a 3 or 4. best barbecue is Southside Market-Flavor, Henry's in Austin by the airport.“

“We celebrated our Christmas lunch at Estancia Brazilian Steakhouse, and it was truly a special experience. The food was delicious and of excellent quality, exceeding our expectations. The service was impeccable from the very beginning, with friendly and attentive care from the moment we arrived until we left. We are very grateful for the treatment we received; as always, the experience was even better than we expected. Without a doubt, a place we always enjoy coming back to.“

“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…“

“Some of the best food I’ve tasted. Those oysters are mind blowing! Great staff.“

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

“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!“

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

“While visiting Austin, I got to try a vegan charcuterie board at a cider house, which included a wedge of Tomato Herb Fromage and I was blown away. It was soft, flavorful, and paired so well with the other items on the board. I didn't realize at that moment, that Rebel Cheese had a physical store location in Austin. Of course, I made a point to get there before I flew home. I bought some vegan chocolate chip cookies, packaged mushroom jerky, and a red velvet cupcake. I also got a package of Tomato Herb Fromage, Gruyere, and Colby Jack cheeses to take home. The cashier wrapped 2 of the refrigerated cheeses around a block of frozen cheese so that it would travel across the country well! I honestly don't know if I've ever had dairy Gruyere, but it was a unique flavor and my boyfriend and I both enjoyed it. We really enjoyed the Colby Jack cheese, too. The hardest part was trying to not eat it all in one sitting! This cheese is definitely expensive, but for how delicious it is, we will definitely be ordering more in the future!“

“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.“

“Love Bodhi Viet and what they stand for. Everything on the menu is vegan Vietnamese, mostly faux meats in different formats, not a ton of tofu. Think seitan. Most dishes are served with fresh, raw veggies or steamed veg with no seasoning which is a nice balance with the heavy, salty faux meat. Everything my husband and I have tried has been delicious! We try to try a new item every time. I overheard the cashier tell a regular that R10 is her favorite (braised tofu rolls). $5 vegan banh mi is a steal, and most of the other entrees are $9. You can currently order online and pay there with card or cash.“

“Good vegan food. Came out fast.“

“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!!!! 😍😍“

“Amazing!!! Great atmosphere, amazing food, and down to earth owner!!!“

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

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

“Love Bouldin Creek Cafe! They have so many great vegetarian options, which we really appreciate. The stir fry was delicious, and the hummus sandwich with sprouts was excellent. We went back after two years, and it was still a great experience. We got desserts to go which were wonderful too. Just one hiccup, we felt the veggie burger this time was on the dry side and less flavorful, but overall we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.“

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.“

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

“The food was amazing!! 5* The burgers are where is at!! We sampled different options from the menu but the OG Cheeseburger was absolutely the BEST!! I've ever had!! 💜🤩“

“Highly recommended for top quality vegan food!! Thank god we have one in South Austin!!“

“Pretty good vegan food! The mac and cheese had a really great consistency, but it was a little bland. I also had one of their sandwiches, which I would say had the same issue. But all things considered I would still recommend it as a vegan spot in town!“

“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.“

“Amazing is the only way to describe it.“

“This place is another delishhh spot�“

“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“

“I was in Austin to see some family and we decided to go out to eat. Since they know Austin, they selected Pint House Pizza.

We arrived and it was very busy. It was easy to find parking because the parking lot's can spill over and to another area where the restaurant is located.

It was also easy to get to the front and put in a food order. Finding a place to sit, however, could be problematic, if it's busy.

There are 2 areas, 1 inside 1 outside and the seating is in long pinici tables style. So, if you don't mind sharing a table with someone you just met, you'll do just fine. If you do, then you may have to wait a little bit to get your own table. We asked, and shared a table.

Note, outside is pet friendly.

Our food arrived shortly after we found a place to sit. The pizza, we ordered a large Cannonball, was great tasting, presentation and went down really well.

I've added some pictures and videos and hope that if you are looking for a place to eat, you decide and choose this spot as I don't believe you will be disappointed.“

“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“

“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).“

“Love it here! Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“The best experience and great food“

“Yo, this place hits different fr fr. The tacos were pretty solid, got the trailer park and it was bussin. Vibes were chill, good spot to grab some grub when you got the munchies. Service was cool too, everyone seemed like they were having a good time. Would definitely come back when I'm cruising around Austin again 🌮✨“

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

“everything in life will be muted and dull until I return to Olamaie it is exceptional to the point that I have lost sense of punctuation and capitalization truly“

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

“Delicious gelato for a great price. Plus the owner is incredibly kind.“

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