50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Clifton

“absolutely EXCELLENT staff, great food with unique options and plenty of seating! I had the breakfast lasagna and I enjoyed every bite, wouldn't change a thing.“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“Smaller place in a strip mall. We were expecting decent food but ended up getting really tasty dishes. Two of us went for lunch and we're quite taken at the quality of the dishes.
I'm from Oregon and fly into Fairfax for work quite often and finding good places to eat had been spotty at best.
Sakoonthai has been saved as a permanent destination for future trips.“

“buena atencion y todo lo que tienen es delicioso, ambience agradable por dentro y por fuera 👏👏👏👏“

“We had the best meal at Silver Diner Innsbrook! And our server, Aliza, was the absolute best. We will definitely be back.“

“Very good food and very healty. I recommend it!!“

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“Hello everyone! My name is Syed Anwar Hussain, and I'm sharing my experience at the best restaurant in the DC area. Today I went to the Bangladesh Embassy, and after I finished my embassy work, I started searching for a good restaurant in that area. Luckily, GPS found the restaurant. We went with my wife and my son, and we ordered three dishes. First, we ordered two dishes. We tasted the first two dishes; they were very delicious. Then we ordered another one. All three dishes were delicious. I really enjoy the delicious food. I have no words to describe how delicious the food is. I highly recommend this place.“

“Cafe Renaissance has been our important event restaurant for the past 15 years. It has never failed to give us a very rewarding experience from its excellent food and the classy ambiance. Highly recommended!“

“The sandwich I had was delicious! I love that they have so many vegetarian options and everything was incredibly flavorful. The owner was very friendly and helpful with any questions about the items on the menu. It’s a great take on Indian food and I can’t wait to go again to try a different item.“

“The Food Is So Good I’m Still Amazed By The Sweet Kale With The Chana & Quinoa“

“We enjoyed brunch here for our anniversary. I have several food allergies and I was well accommodated. The food was wonderful and the service friendly. We will be back“

“Psst! Despite the name, the hidden 💎 on the menu is Bun Dau Mam Tom. It's the best in DMV because of the super yummy dipping sauce (I would drink it if not for high blood pressure 😀) and everything on the tray arrive hot, crunchy, and steamy 😋“

“This feels exactly what I want a sushi place to feel like. It is clean with a nice modern feel and the service is professional but kind. The food came out fast and all of the sushi was delicious, my favorite being the maguro nigiri. I do wish the rice to fish ratio was a bit higher, but I will happily come back despite that minor difference in opinion.“

“Friendly, good food. Our waitress, Nicole, was outgoing and great!“

“We drove about 25 minutes to get to this place and let me tell ya, it was definitely worth the drive 👍 We’re from sunny (and hot) Florida, so being surrounded by ice cream becomes the norm. I was craving it on this cold evening and was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

It’s now one of my top ice cream places. The quality and price really can’t be beat. When you’re so used to being charged $5.75 per scoop, seeing $6.95 for a flight of 4 is incredible. My bf and I got the strawberry cheesecake sundae and the flight of four. It had pumpkin cheesecake, the bees knees, brownie bomb, and bones & stones. My personal favorite was the bees knees followed by the bones & stones. The taste was creamy, rich, but not overly sweet. Perfect 😋

There was a small line but it seemed to go so fast I didn’t even have time to make up my mind on a flavor! The staff is nice and I loved the cow out front. Next time we find ourselves in Virginia, we’ll definitely be coming back. This place lived up to all the hype!“

“wow what a gem!!! this place is going to do good business!!!!!!! the entrees ..desserts...service .....everything is amazing!!!!“

“Great food and service we were at the Woodbridge Virginia location celebrating the end of our daughter radiation therapy treatment and we had Amanda as a waitress wonderful service and then they congratulated us and didn't charged us for the full meal. Not about the money but we still have love ❤ out there.“

“Was super bz on a Sunday and service was okay but our waitress wasn’t all that great.“

“Delicious food, great service! Highly recommend! We had a party of 7 and the staff were great. Kids all loved their meals. I’ll be thinking of the chicken pita for a while too. Will definitely stop again on future trips heading south. Thank you!“

“First time here and food was amazing. Will definitely be my go to when in the area.“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“Nice Hospitality , comfortable and clean“

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.“

“Best location out there!! My server Jackie was amazing and she whipped up the most immaculate smoothie bowl“

“My brother and I tried La China Poblana Taqueria for the first time today. Having grown up in San Diego, we have been searching for an authentic, family restaurant experience for a long while since moving up the DC area. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. Service was spot on. Food was on point. We can't recommend this place enough. The birria tacos and quesadilla were fantastic. My brother also tried their lingua and loved it. Also, their fresh guacamole... I haven't had guacamole this good since I left California 23 years ago.“

“The Goat Vindaloo .. should actually stand for GREATEST OF ALL TIME - it was phenomenal.. Rasheed was our server and gave us the best dining experience and recommendations for our first time… WE WILL BE BACK! cannot wait to try all the others ❤️“

“Lil Bowl has the best Thai food in all of Virginia! They also have sushi and other things! If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great people!“

“My daughter was diagnosed with food allergies and we suddenly found ourselves in need of a vegan cake for her birthday. Rosa Bakes came through for us! Not only was the cake delicious, but the communication and service was top notch. Thank you so much for helping to make my daughters birthday memorable!“

“As every other Sunday, great family time …“

“I love the food and great service!👍♥️“

“Such a cozy café with delicious sandwiches and beautifully crafted lattes! 🥪☕
The sandwiches were fresh, packed with vegetables and flavors, and the coffee was smooth with perfect latte art. The presentation was amazing, and everything tasted as good as it looked. Definitely a spot I would come back to!“

“Delicious food! I went to Mama Chang's after a long hike and this food hit the spot! The staff was great as they were attentive without being overbearing like at some places. Plus I give them extra brownie points because the group I was with showed up a little close to closing time and the staff remained super friendly!“

“Great food and the roof top searing was a great place to enjoy the band on a First Friday evening!“

“very nice food and service I'm from London uk do I no good food“

“Pastrami Rueben was awesome!! Great Cole Slaw too!! Definitely recommended!! Thank you our server, Sarah!! A+ service and food.“

“Great food and very friendly. Really enjoy eating here whenever I am near. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious Food, Divine Wine, Lovely Evening! We shared appetizers, desserts & wine while we visited this wonderful restaurant!“

“This charming restaurant has a limited menu but they do everything deliciously well. Entered through an unimposing path between two buildings, you can either eat in a historic house or on the two level landscaped patio complete with a waterfall. The service is attentive but unrushed for a relaxing experience.“

“Actually would give service SIX stars. My number one breakfast choice in the entire DC area. I like their eggs benedict varieties. Try it -- you won't be disappointed!“

“This place is subpar. Food was average, not worth the price. However, I will absolutely be coming back due to the service. Andrew did everything in his power to accommodate my family. I don’t think I’ve seen a server as personable, competent, and willing to fulfill our wants and needs. He seems to go out of his way in order to make us feel welcome, and that no task is too small. He even made our kids happy! Any request they had, he was on top of. Very attentive, respectful, and polite! Maybe this guy should be a manager….? He checked on us more than the actual managers did, even though he was clearly busy; I don’t think I saw a manager my entire time. I would have loved to praise him to a higher up. KEEP THIS GUY! I love the new lamps on the table, it gives a little more light, and makes me feel like I’m not in a dungeon. Host seemed very disinterested in helping, and very monotoned. Not necessarily how I want to feel when I walk in. Didn’t really feel welcome until our server came along.“

“Lemonade Bakery is the only bakery I go to. Everything is delicious and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. Plus added bonus they are dairy and nut free so don’t ever have to worry about allergies. Hands down the best place in old town. Support for local businesses!!“

“This is definitely not your average food truck! Heroes, Burgers and Wings ALL on POINT! You can taste the flavor in every bite you devour! This is one of the best food truck in Queens and they are open late!“

“Wonderful sushi especially the chirashi. The tempura is also delicious always crisp and not greasy.“

“Delicious food, Everything Good.“
