50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Clifton

“I love this restaurant. Everything about it from the service to the environment and especially the delicious food is incredible. It helps to either have reservations or selecting a time that isn’t as busy because it’s so popular. My family and I have been eating there for over a year and been back many times. We love the bada bing shrimp for our appetizer. And my favorite personal entrée is the spicy seafood. Here’s a picture of it with a wide ribbon noodle maybeI weither tagliatelle or papardele. Just incredible. Homemade fresh pasta. Five stars out of five for sure.“

“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.“

“I had heard great things about this place and finally got the chance to try it out. Visited during lunch hour and had their lunch special — it came with two sides (I chose the Tom Yum soup and a spring roll), plus seafood fried rice and Thai iced tea — all for just $20. What a deal!

The space is cozy, service was friendly, and the value is unbeatable. I think I just found my new go-to spot for Thai food.“

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

“My mother and I split the vegan warm roasted local veggie salad and the vegan just egg Benedict. We really enjoyed both! The champagne vinaigrette salad dressing was very good. Great portion sizes too. Clearly labeled vegan/plant based options on the menu. Didn’t get a shake, but they do have some vegan ones. Full bar too, had an excellent cocktail (Thunderbird Margarita). There were a lot of families there at the same time as us, so it was a bit loud, but fit the diner vibe.“

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

“Perfect Spot for Friends & Family!

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and super fun — perfect for both family gatherings and catching up with friends. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and making sure we had everything we needed.

The shabu shabu was top-notch — fresh ingredients, high-quality meats, and rich, flavorful broths. They had a great selection of veggies, sauces, and dipping options that let everyone at the table customize their meal just the way they liked it. We especially loved the wagyu and the spicy miso broth — so good!

The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had a great energy without being too loud. Plenty of space for groups, and the table setup made it really easy to enjoy the cooking experience together.

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, interactive dining experience that brings people together!“

“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!“

“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.“

“As a recently diagnosed Celiac… I was so excited to see the menu when I walked up!
The asada fries blew my mind!!! I could not believe how incredible the flavors were, and that it was all gluten free and safe for me!!! We were grabbing a quick cider at Lost Boy Cider, and are really hoping this food truck comes back frequently, cause it looks like many others were happy to have them here too!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Food - flavors and spice authentic
Service - fast, swift and very helpful with recommendations
Atmosphere - Open, airy and quite refreshing (could introduce some cushioning or softness on seats)

Overall - 5 for everything! highly recommend“

“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 ❤️“

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

“Nice Hospitality , comfortable and clean“

“This was my first time at Nathan’s Dairy Bar. I got the hot apples with pumpkin pie and graham cracker twist soft serve ice cream. AMAZING. quickly became one of my favorite soft serve spots in all the places I’ve lived (which is a lot). The ice cream wasn’t overly sweet but had a nice obvious flavor without that cloying fakeness ice creams often have. Partnered with their spiced, warm apples they serve on the side to avoid melting it was possibly the perfect fall treat. The apples were nicely cooked and slighhhtly crunchy while still being obviously stewed in the caramel and spices. They had a bold flavor that was again perfectly sweet instead of dripping in sugar. SO good.“

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

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

“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!!“

“Ingredients were fresh. Sashimi was very fresh. Mafia sushi roll was the best. Spicy tuna and osaka was yummy. Dragon was alright. Wish the sushi rolls were thinner and a little more well made. The special chefs bonus at the end was yummy! Will definitely be back tho.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Sandwich Lovers De Clieu, a charming coffee and sandwich shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Fairfax has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect cup of coffee and sandwich when I'm in the area. Coffee and Organic Teas: (5/5) De Clieu's coffee, Organic Tea and drink options are nothing short of exceptional. Their baristas are clearly passionate about their craft, as every cup is brewed with precision and care, from their Drip, French Press, Chemex pour overs and Organic Teas. The espresso is rich and full-bodied, and they offer premium roasted beans and brewing methods to cater to every palate. I've tried their lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and cold brews, and I've never been disappointed. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just enjoy a good cold brew, De Clieu has you covered. Sandwiches Plus: (5/5) The sandwiches, bakery items, and Gelato at De Clieu are a delightful surprise. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavor. I've worked my way through much of their menu, and each creation has been more delicious than the last. From the Spicy Swine and Honey Bread to the inventive vegetarian options, there's something for everyone. The bread is always perfectly toasted, and the combinations of flavors and textures are superb. Overall Impression: (5/5) De Clieu is a coffee and sandwich shop that embodies all the qualities I look for in a great café. It's a place that combines exceptional coffee, delectable sandwiches, sides, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a price that won't leave your wallet empty. Whether you're a regular looking for your daily caffeine fix or a traveler seeking a local gem, Delieu is the answer. It's clear the owner takes pride in what they do and how they train their team, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I'm excited to see it thrive and become a beloved part of the community. There are ample parking options available in the vicinity as well.“

“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“

“As every other Sunday, great family time …“

“This hidden gem needs to be FOUND by everyone! Met one of the owners, Mark, in Pazzo Pomodoro recently who told me about Nozzo Pazzo. I have since fallen in love with their sandwiches the Bugs Bunny and the Green Arrow wraps (vegan) which I return to get regularly. Then found out they also do breakfast! After Mark described how they make the French toast, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! I had it this morning, and believe me it is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The place is so beautifully set up, and the tunes playing over the speakers were equally awesome! An absolute must try!“

“It’s been two years since I’ve been back here and I ordered the same lovely cranberry salad with warm goat cheese on top. The difference in two years was that the goat cheese was 1/4 of the original size. It made me sad. Servers were great. Outdoor location was wonderful. Food was just so so.“

“The high tea on Saturday was fabulous. The staff was top notch and the food and beverages delicious.“

“Excellent place to dine. Very fresh food. Some of the best tasting Italian i’ve had. Also not too expensive. The wine is great too! Great restaurant!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Our favorite go to breakfast place on weekends. Rose latte and davant coffee’s are the best in the store for someone who likes sweet coffee. House special bacon egg and cheese on a croissant is my most ordered breakfast. This place has nice aesthetics and it’s always busy on a weekend. Although they have plenty of seating to accommodate people.“

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

“The best steak and cheese sub AROUND VA!! No one can beat it and the pizza is delicious. I’m not a big fan of pizza because of the grease but they have the best pizza ever and you can tell it’s made from scratch the crust is the best part. Don’t skip this place if your in town!!“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to PF Chang’s, so on Sunday, a friend and I went there for lunch. From the moment we walked in, until the very end, our service was flawless! Our server Ty was amazing, providing us excellent service, anticipating our needs before we even said anything, his cheerful demeanor brightening up our day. Our food came out in record time and was absolutely perfect. The best part, and the reason behind PF Chang’s elevated level of service, is their Manager. He leads by example, going around to tables, checking to see how everyone is enjoying their meal. This of course provided us with the perfect opportunity to gush about Ty’s performance, professionalism and courteous conduct. This manager, through his leadership, has taken PF Chang’s level of service to what you see in five star restaurants. Keep up the great work, it is truly impressive and make sure the manager is well compensated, because he sets the tone. Also, give Ty a raise, he deserves it!“

“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.“

“Our Monday night dinner group has come back here multiple times. The smell is wonderful immediately when you walk in. The host and all staff there are super friendly and always fun to chat with. Our waiter had our whole table laughing every time we engaged with him. Everyone's orders were perfectly cooked, nice sized portions and came out very quickly. I personally love the Malaysian Iced Coffee, Roti Canai and Chicken Satay. Our group had noodle dishes, beef, lamb, seafood....all was wonderful. The flavors are vivid and bright, delicious and clearly comfort food. I promise you, you'll enjoy your trip here. Great food for everyone. Very nice open atmosphere and every table seemed very content.“

“My long time, absolute favorite sushi restaurant in NOVA! Outstanding friendly staff, personal service, excellent and authentic food! I’ve been a loyal customer of this lovely place since they opened 19 years ago! Thank you for a terrific experience!!“

“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!“

“Es uno de los mejores restaurantes de la zona de Manassas park la comida es deliciosa y la atención es de la mejor 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰“
