50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Austin

“great place to eat vegan!“

“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.“

“I'm stoked there's an Estancia in Leander! Came with a friend for dinner. Amazing experience! The decor is stunningly modern with an incredibly 60s classic feel. Every single staff member is kind, friendly, and welcoming. Our server David was an absolute delight! The food is endless and delicious. Clean restrooms, perfect lighting and some of the best music mix I've heard in a restaurant.“

“ohhhhh my - I think this is my new favorite sushi spot in Austin. the sushi is incredibly fresh, flavorful, the miso soup is 🤤 and the rice is perfectly seasoned. it's not the cheapest option, but definitely one of the highest quality and most delicious 🍣🍱“

“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.“

“The food and atmosphere are just wonderful!!“

“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!“

“One of our favorite dining experiences in Austin! Food was stunning all night long, both in flavor and presentation. The super-star if the evening was the silky and sumptuous king crab custard, but even the bread and butter lead to whipping out phones for photos and sighing with contentment after first bites. Staff are friendly and seem to really enjoy providing the best possible experience. The setting is gorgeous--dark green Art Deco sexiness!--and quiet enough for real conversation even with a full house, which is the rarest thing nowadays! The Cafe Brulot experience was a showstopper and we were so glad we discovered and reserved it through OpenTable. Have been before and will go again - this is the perfect place to celebrate something special.“

“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.“

“Thanks!! We’ll miss your delicious food and presence in the neighborhood“

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

“The best BBQ I’ve ever had! 5 stars!“

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

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.“

“This restaurant is highly recommended. The food is delicious“

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

“We made a special trip from the DFW to visit the #1 and #2 spots. We waited in line at both locations, we arrived at L&L at 11am and sat down with our food at 12:30. Leroy and Lewis is hands down better than TM’s #1 spot. Their brisket was moist and very flavorful with a really good bark. We had their Barbacoa as our other meat option which had it own good flavor. Our side were the Frito pie and chiro-taters, both were good. We’ll definitely be back at some point to tryout more of the menu.“

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

“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“

“As always, for many years we’ve dined at Jeffrey’s and we are very pleased with the service and of course our food. Can’t say enough!“

“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!“

“Delicious BBQ! Great ambiance and service!“

“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!“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

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

“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!“

“Great shop for office snacks/meals. My clients love the juice and bowls we get for meetings. My regular stop as a pharma rep.

The Manager and team are also accommodating to orders and subs for allergy and food preferences!“

“The best experience and great food“

“Very good food . Customer service is excellent.“

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

“Acre 41 in the Marriott Autograph Otis is a gem in Austin Texas. With a premier bartender who makes exquisite drinks of his own design to classics is an adventure. The food and ambience of the restaurant is high quality with unique dishes. We had the 14 oz New York Strip with sides of charred carrots and twice baked potato. We also had the wedge salad that could be a meal itself. GOOD food!“

“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!“

“This is hands-down, my favorite restaurant in Austin, if not honestly, the world. We come at least once if not twice a week the menu is extremely diverse in the staff are just absolutely delightful. We love Carmen, jasmine, Enrique, anola, Luis, BZ, Jacobi, and Adam. 10/10 reccommend“

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

“My BFF and I have been exploring new establishments in the East Austin area to see/ peep their atmosphere, ambiance, service and drinks/food. We both love the “down the earth” atmosphere with garage/backyard vibe. It’s definitely a “must go back again” spot for future “Working Women Wednesdays” meetups.“

“This restaurant has a great vibe, friendly staff and Edward, the manager, that is on top of his game. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone for a date night, festive office or birthday party or just a fun place to have a drink and get to know other people.“

“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“

“grubb best hot sauce around“

“The salad bar was really nice, I enjoyed the butternut squash soup. The dessert was amazing as well as all of the cuts of meat! The service was awesome as well. Highly recommend.“

“We went here as a family of 9! We were pleased when they didn’t mess up our giant order. People in our group had: burgers, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, BLTs, chocolate malts, and fries. Everything was delicious and you cannot beat the price for the amount of food we got!“

“Awesome food and staff! Don’t miss!!“

“Hands down best chicken biscuit sandwiches I've ever had in my life.“

“The food is so good! I had garlic naan and butter chicken, and my friend had one of the paneers. Amfood, great atmosphere, and stellar 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.“

“This place was excellent! I had a boozy salted caramel Iced coffee that was amazing.The cinnamon roll french toast was delicious with fresh fruit and an ooey gooey drizzle. The Floridian omelette was rich and full of flavor. The grits were so creamy, I requested some cheese on top but it honestly didn't need any. the Bacqueza Omelette was savory and smokey with just enough spice and creaminess from the cream cheese. Our server Isaiah was polite and provided us great service. The only issue we had was how rude and uninterested the hostess was.“

“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! 🍽️✨“
