50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“I absolutely love Cafe Shambala and highly recommend stopping by! Every time we host family or guests visiting, we bring them to eat here. Both the lunch buffet and the dinner menu are delicious. Our favorites are the spiced potatoes, the marinated chicken, the momos, and the traditional rice pudding dessert. My husband and I have never had less than a 5-star experience, especially with the excellent service. My only suggestion for improvement would be to more clearly post a drink menu during lunch, specifically for the refreshing mango lassi and other tasty drinks available. Last time I was there, the only posting of this information was a faded printer paper taped on the outside windows.“

“The food was amazing! The salad bar has so many options that it alone will fill you up. The mashed potatoes were the best I’ve ever had. The meats were also perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The sweet and spicy chicken and the pineapple are my favorites!

The service was fast and efficient. Mateus was friendly and upbeat, checking on us frequently and always had a smile on his face.

The atmosphere is definitely a party atmosphere. It seemed like every table was having a birthday, which was a blast! I would highly recommend this location, and ask for Mateus!“

“My favorite Mexican food in Salt Lake City. I don’t get to go very often but when I’m in town I never miss it. Love it.“

“A wonderful organization of business professionals. Vest Pocket is an advocate for small businesses and a great place to learn from fellow business leaders.“

“Recommend everything….best MEXICAN FOOD“

“We've gone to this place many times through the years. Sometimes we bring parties of 20+, and sometimes it's just the two of us. The staff is always so great. They take your dietary needs seriously. They explain each step of the process, and know what is in each food item. We've never had a bad experience with the Grand Tea room, and we'll be back for sure soon!“

“Wonderful dining experience! Food was absolutely delicious and our waiter Adam was fantastic! Highly recommend!!“

“Some of the most incredible food I've ever eaten, period.“

“The food was delicious and our server Jolayne was fast and made sure we were well taken care of our entire time in the restaurant! Thank you for the amazing service and food we will definitely be back!!!!“

“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“We celebrated our 40th Anniversary at Log Haven and could not have been more pleased with the experience. Our server, Johnny did a great job of answering our menu questions and provided guidance on our choices. The fillet and chicken dishes were both incredible. It had been years since we had been there, but we need to treat ourselves more often. If only they could do a second location closer to Daybreak.....“

“we ate everything. it all wonderful“

“Went to this restaurant for our 9th wedding anniversary. It's price range varies from $45-$85 per entree but definitely lives up to the hype. I had the citrus butter cast iron Alaskan halibut and a side of grilled cauliflower with garlic herb sauce, and a Beehive jack rabbit Gin Commander cocktail. My husband got the Wagyu hanger 8 0z steak, mashed potatoes, and The Espolon Tequila Hefe cocktail. For dessert we got the churros drizzled with raspberry sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream to share. Our waiter Kaden was excellent and on top of things, Jose was our busser and was very prompt, professional, and kind, and the chef was excellent and got our food out in a reasonable amount of time. Best Halibut I have ever had and best steak he has ever had. Thank you for an incredible evening. -Ashley and Emmanuel #wagyusteak #alaskanhalibut #churros #gincocktail #tequilacocktail #espolontequila #beehivejackrabbitgin“

“The food!! The Service!!! The ambience!!!“

“Excellent Thai food, one of my new favorites. I don't know how I'd never heard about this place, but luckily my friends mentioned it and so we made dinner plans. We got 4-5 dishes and shared them family style and everything was amazing. Good sized portions, fantastic flavors, and wonderful service. Apparently, they have an awesome lunch menu as well, which I plan to try soon. This is exactly the kind of local place you want to support in your neighborhood and city. Can't wait to go again. Oh, and by the way, the prices are extremely reasonable, which is a huge plus given the current inflation in prices for just about everything.“

“If you're looking for the most delicious Thai food ever, this is the place to go! The papaya salad is amazing, and don’t even get me started on the mango sticky rice! Everything we tried was absolute heaven on a plate.
The staff made us feel welcome the moment we walked in and our family was well taken care of throughout the entire meal. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Quickly becoming our favorite restaurant in SLC! From the warm welcome at the door to the outstanding service from Joel and Brenda, every visit feels special. The dishes are consistently incredible—thoughtful, flavorful, and made with real care. Matteo has officially stolen my food-loving heart, and we can't wait to come back again and again.“

“Excellent! that cookie oh my. I am obsessed“

“Maybe the best pizza I've ever had? Got the Cardiac Arrest and it was honestly just exactly what I want pizza to be. I love a wood fired crust, and the atmosphere was trendy and low-key. The server was friendly but not bothersome and it was all very reasonably priced. I'm definitely going again while I'm in SLC.“

“Tonight my family went to Manoil’s. Wow. What a joy. I can’t recall what these dishes were called so beautifully on the menu—but I’ve tried my best in being simple in describing them. We ordered the risotto, orzo, lamb, octopus, olives, potatoes, and arugula salad. Every single thing was so freshly prepared, dressed, and cooked to invite delight. Thank you so much.“

“I think that Ruth’s Chris steakhouse is my most favorite and most popular restaurant for me to go there and eat really good food from there and my favorite food from there was there chicken breast and mashed potatoes and lobster bisque soup and hot buttery rolls and chocolate cake for dessert and it was really good and delicious and I would totally eat it all again and touring the restaurant with the owner and meeting the staff was also a fun experience to also and if I were to rate the restaurant on a scale of one to ten I would definitely give it a solid ten out of ten rating from my time visiting the restaurant and I would totally recommend the restaurant to anyone who would like to go to the restaurant to eat there and enjoy the experience there !!“

“The FOOD was even better on a lunch special price. It had all of this pictured (Haiku) and miso soup to start. I left feeling so full and filled with quality food. The service was efficient, friendly, and consistent throughout the lunch. The atmosphere was perfect with natural lighting and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. 10/10 recommend! I'll be sure to be back for the dinner on a date night.“

“Grand opening specials and delicious food keep us coming back twice in a week now. It is located next to a local Target, so they have a great position to succeed with the flow of traffic and a large parking lot. I hope these specials remain the same or similar, the food economy needs places like this! Food should be affordable and tasty. You guys do both, excellent job.“

“Texas based human here. Always having a hard time finding awesome kolaches in Salt Lake. These are absolutely amazing!“

“Really terrific meal! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The crispy egg rolls are a must just order two when you first sit down. One order is barely enough for one person! House rice always good.“

“Yummy flavorful pizza, pasta and more!!“

“Great good, quick service. Very unique, fun place.“

“This is our absolute favorite pizza place in Utah! Their lunch special is an amazing deal! Pizza, a drink, and delicious salad for cheaper then you can get fast food! They use high quality ingredients and the house made dough is my favorite! The house ranch I could drink it is so good and love dipping my pizza into it! The service is always great as well!“

“the food was delicious... highly reccomend the nutty Naan bread. host was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great atmosphere.“

“Really cute casual place with outdoor eating and fantastic food.“

“Rico y abundante definitivamente muy recomendable“

“I absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to come back!! We started with the spring rolls and also the 4 Seasons rolls and they were amazing! For lunch I had the S1 Pho and my husband and the Curry fried rice again amazing! We finished our meal with the Vegan Flan and omg sooo good!!! We had no idea coming here that is was a Vegan restaurant and I was a lil worried but it did not disappoint at all. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back!!!“

“Delicious Thai food in downtown, friendly staff, and good price“

“Really great food, I will definitely be coming back😋“

“I’ve been eating here for decades. The food is made to order & delicious! 😋 My favorite is the #8 chicken crunch combo. The service is awesome too! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We came here for brunch for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was also our first time coming here. The food was absolutely delicious AND we got a free dessert for her birthday. Not only was it free, it was a delicious, house-made crème brûlée! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Simply the best Salt Lake City has to offer in dining. What an experience!“

“We had dinner here mainly because it was within walking distance of our hotel, and we did not have high expectations. To our complete surprise, dinner was absolutely delicious — one of the best Indian meals we have had (and we have had a number of them in New York City and elsewhere). The flavors were subtle and appropriate to the dishes. Service was excellent also. Appetizers, soup, naan, a vegetable curry (split between the two of us), a dessert, and beer came to a little over $40. If we lived in the Salt Lake City area, we would certainly return to this restaurant.“

“I've been going here since I was a teenager. It's a staple. Family friendly atmosphere. I enjoy getting a bacon cheeseburger. Greek food is good too. Good when you're on your way home from work or are just wanting to grab a sit down bite and relax for a bit. Workers are always friendly. Taste has been consistent for years! Crown is the best.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Taqueria 27 downtown. Adrien was my server and they were truly amazing. They were so attentive and thoughtful and made sure I had everything I needed the entire time. I ordered the Poblano Chicken platter and it was incredibly delicious and full of flavor. The food, the service, and the overall atmosphere were all so positive and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back for the yummy food and great vibes.“

“I’ve been here. . . oh, maybe 100 times the past two years. I absolutely LOVE it. They don’t use lard in their beans, their tortillas are vegan, and the fajita veggies are the best. Vegan burritos, ftw. Thank you, Carl, et al, for providing my this urban respite.“

“Wonderful crepes ! Super neat atmosphere ! You definitely don’t want to miss out on trying these crepes !“

“This burger changed my life. Pastrami, corned beef, beef, gyro meat, I am feeling sleepy now. This sandwich is the truth. After a horrible breakfast experience in Payson IHOP, Apollo has redeemed Utah for food single-handedly“

“Delicious food, friendly service and great vibes all around! Thanks for a great lunch!“

“if you are from Peru and are missing home this is a must. I have gone there twice and the food is nothing but amazing. Also, very friendly staff. I will keep going back every time I visit utah.“

“My daughter and I were just traveling through Salt Lake City and stopped to have a snack at the Corner Brew Pub in the B terminal of the airport. We were greated by the manager, who started us off with waters and our drink order from the moment he sat us. He was delightful, had a great smile, and was clearly happy to pitch in! Our server, Sarah, could not have been sweeter! She checked in on us often, made sure we were well taken care of, and had such a lovely presence!

It’s rare in an airport that you would get such great service - it was genuine and with a smile. We travel a lot in generally stick to private lounges, but this experience rejuvenated my faith in the airport restaurant experience!“

“We got served by Glenda E and she was rather rude and not very friendly, not as nice as the other older ladies who serve there. Half way through dinner dhe starts vacuuming near our table like that rather gross when were trying to eat. I got the chicken fried steak I was most of the way through and I bit into a piece of plastic bread tie! Glenda mumbled a half hearted apology and took it off the bill but no management came to speak to me and apologize. Not impressed with the service or meal.“

“Great food and excellent beer selection.“
