50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Norfolk

“We've been here twice now, and both times have been exemplary. A quaint dining room at the edge of Freemason, this American bistro will charm you. The menu is focused and the dishes both exciting and delicious. Come with a second couple and share a bottle of wine like we did. Fill out an establishment-provided postcard - they will mail it to your next guests to keep this gem of Norfolk in your rotation! 10/10“

“The atmosphere and staff was very nice. It was our first time and we enjoyed our food! I definitely would recommend this restaurant to others.“

“This place surprised me. It was better than I expected. I usually don’t crave food after I eat but this place made me want to take food to go. Specifically the loaded Philly cheesesteak fries and Calzones. They’re also very professional with a New York vibe.“

“The food here is excellent and the owner is very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend!“

“Really great dumplings and noodles. Second time here got Manchurian dumplings and chicken noodles both medium and they are fabulous. Flavorful and medium is just right for me.“

“My fiance and I are in town to visit family and decided to stop here for breakfast. The staff is friendly and attentive. I got an omelette and my fiance got pancakes. Our food was delicious! Highly recommend visiting this place for your next meal.“

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it“

“I have finally found my favorite restaurant after living in the area 2 years! The food was so good I woke up this morning still imagining every delicious moment last night. The visit started with incredibly friendly staff, an original mocktail made by the talented bartender, and warm, fresh focaccia. Both appetizers ordered were superb. My main course, the butternut squash ravioli with Italian sausage...omg...the flavor in each bite...the way it hit on the palette with just the perfect blends of texture, spice and sauce was nothing short of revolutionary. It made me want to stand up and proclaim that I had FINALLY found the love I had been looking for my entire life! Luckily for those around me, I didn't do that, but I really wanted to. Our entire table was blown away as we ate varying dishes from the ravioli special to the spaghetti limone to the fresh flounder. I'm afraid anyone overhearing our table commenting on the absolutely outstanding orgasmic flavors of our food as we ate might have thought we were under the influence of psychedelics...but we were only under the influence of the exceptional food, wine and mocktails being served from the superb Chef and staff. As if that wasn't enough, we ended our meal with the chocolate mousse, which was able to give us that one last flavor climax with its perfectly balanced dark yet so satisfying chocolate tones. OMG. MIND BLOWN. Blanca reminds me of food I would find at a high end restaurant in San Francisco or NYC, yet with the friendliness, comfortable ambiance and welcoming energy of a smaller city. Wow. Just Wow. Amazing. I can't wait to go back. The world is a better place with the food and people of Blanca in it!“

“So delicious. Great buffet. Kind servers. All around loved it!“

“My daughters name is Willow B. and she was treated like a Queen; given a free T shirt, free pool, all the games and coloring books her heart desired. The food was spectacular and the hostess was 10/10“

“Great food, great service“

“Great food and ambience. Reminded me of Europe“

“Ordered carry out. Food was ready when they said. Staff was attentive and greeted us promptly on arrival. We ordered the kebab platter with fire roasted vegetables and crispy brussels. The food was plentiful, well prepared and delicious. We will eat here again.“

“Amazing Food and Restaurant environment. I am glad we chose this place over Chick Fil A. Restaurant is family oriented and family ran, owner gave us freebies for a disruption in the store. Personally apologized to us.“

“The best burgers and mozzarella sticks!! Highly recommend!“

“They go above and beyond: I joined my book club ladies for dinner last night at Press 626. I have some mobility issues and was advised to take the back steps upon arriving. I was well assisted up the stairs and taken to our table. The servers could not have been more pleasant. When it was time to leave one of the female employees assisted me down the front steps and to my waiting car. They made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you so much.“

“My wife, our grandson, and myself went to Saltines on Valentine’s Day which is also my wife’s birthday. Reservations at 7;45 and the seating arrangement was perfect. Kyle was our waiter. We could not have gotten a more perfect waiter. Kyle was extremely polite and was very attentive to our needs. The drinks he served were perfect. The food served was above par. He even wished my wife a happy birthday and made sure she had everything she wanted. Kyle is the sort of waiter that you look for and hope for. He was perfect for our little celebration. My thanks to Kyle and thanks to Saltines for employing someone such as Kyle. Kyle will be our waiter for future dining at Saltines.“

“I’ve eaten here now 5 times. Gone for an evening date, family gathering of 8, and a regular dinner for 4 out and about in town. They can accommodate anything. The food is excellent, creative and unique. Staff is nice and helpful, and hardworking. This is a staple for me. Parking on the street hasn’t been a problem but also garages are available or uber if you are enjoying the neat drink menu.“

“Another excellent meal at Omar's Carriage House. The pork belly fried rice had just enough heat to it but not so much as to overwhelm the flavor.“

“The ambiance was so romantic and perfect for our date night/celebration dinner. We enjoyed everything from the ahi tuna tartare, to the porto and cheesecake.“

“Visited for the first time. Food was great tasting and a great amount for the price. My waitress Cibelis, hope I spelled her name right. She was super great. Will eat here again next time I am in town“

“We drive from Chesapeake once a week just to get Salmich’s. Best burgers around!!!!“

“Could not recommend this place more. Cozy atmosphere for dine in. Food is always a 20 out of 10. Portions are great and flavor is off the charts. Somehow more delicious with every bite - don’t get me started on how crazy the leftover masaman curry goes after it’s had a night to really meld. Our waitress Aor (jack of all front-of-house trades) is a total freaking rock star and always goes above and beyond to make every visit better than the last. So glad that we found this gem of a restaurant. We’re lifers for sure!!!“

“Attended the wine dinner last evening and was underwhelmed. I had called to ask if they would accommodate dietary requests such as vegetarian/pescatarian and was told no however last evening they had several people that they accomadated for dietary requests. It was disappointing to learn that too late. It was a rainy cold evening and the seating for the event was in their inclosed outside seating area. Throughout the evening you got burst of cold air in spite of the heaters it was cold. Going into the colder months I definitely would not attend if they don’t change the location of the dinner in their restaurant. The food and wine were good but nothing overly impressive. The last wine was Federalist which is a very inexpensive everyday wine that you can get at total wine for under $20. I guess I was expecting more from the wine dinner which is why I say I was underwhelmed.“

“When I visited Chicago as a child, I remember trying Chicago style pizza there several times with the family. It was . . . different. You see, I'm from St. Louis just four hours away and was tied to thin crust, like cracker thin--which I still very much love. But that Chicago pizza had such a weird texture and what not. Flashforward to today and 1,400 miles to the east, I moved to Norfolk for a job almost twenty years ago, and um. I don't know if my taste buds changed, or if this place just knows how to do it the way it should be, but that place in Chicago has nothing on this. I scoffed at first at the price, that is until I tried it at the urging of a co-worker and each slice is like a whole meal. The texture, the taste, the crust. Perfection. I never though I was a deep dish fan of any kind until Del Vecchios showed me how it is supposed to be done. Add to that the comradery of the staff and the personal nature of the wait-staff. Del Vecchios is among the best pizza I've had, bar none. They are proof of the advantages of venturing outside the safe mediocre comfort of chains and trying the smaller mom and pop tried and true places because now that I've had it, I don't want Chicago style pizza from anyone else, even in Chicago.“

“I LOVE EL RODEO. THEY ARE SO PERSONABLE AND INVITING. THIS IS MY FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND AT THIS POINT THEY ARE FAMILY.“

“Went 2 - 3 times last year. Good food and good service. I'd love to get their salsa receipe though. I enjoyed it a lot better than most.“

“Great food every time. I have been to the Norfolk location and the Virginia Beach location and they are both top notch. Everything I have tried is excellent. Last time we got the Smoke Stack Sammich, which includes brisket, pulled pork and their smoked sausage. It is so tasty and you get a bit of everything. The pork belly is great. The pork rinds are the best you can get. The wings with the dry rub are killer. We got the Tommy Boy, a sometimes Friday special, the best pastrami sandwich at the Beach. I haven't tried anything I didn't love yet. The staff is always on the move and is always very friendly. Already planning our next visit.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time! Monday night Ramon night!! I can’t wait until next time!! Maybe brunch with a flight!“

“We came here as a group of 6 on a Tuesday evening, and we were seated at their smallest table. When we asked to be moved to a larger (there were 3 open larger tables) we were told that the "wait" was too long. All 3 tables sat empty the entire time we ate. 3 of the 6 people in our party ordered the blackened sword fish at $34/plate. The orders came as grilled and they were severely over cooked. When we mentioned that the orders were wrong, we were told that they could take that fish back add blackened seasoning and re cook the same (already overcooked) fish. We asked to speak to the manager, whose immediate solution was to take off the automatic gratuity and just not tip our server. We never got an apology for the food being wrong, and the manager was completely rude the entire time. The manager's final solution was to take $4 off of a $80 bill. We will not be back.“

“the best THAI TEA ever??? and the atmosphere, food, servers/waiters, cooks are all awesome. did I mention the FOOD? You wont be disappointed“

“Delicious food and lovely service! My partner and I go every so often and it's been amazing every time.“

“Longboards is a family friendly restaurant that is top notch with a surf and turf menu that is sure to have everyone in your party satisfied! A wonderful selection of food and really great drinks! Service has always been great. It can be busy at times but the servers treat you like you are their only table. Hands down, this is a place you have to try. Great prices and every dish is well thought out and cooked to perfection!“

“This was my first time here. First person I talked to was security about where I could park. I parked in the section she was at and she walked me up to the door, told me who to see and to have a great time. I had a great time! I had two great waitresses Brittny and Cris. But to have someone walk me to the door and explain everything, I knew I made the right choice. Oh she said get the prime rib or steak…the security lady. I got the prime rib, boy she was right on everything!“

“The food, the atmosphere, and our server, Sean. When our party told Sean some of our favorites, he knew exactly what to recommend on the menu. Totally enjoyable evening.“

“Best gyro in the 757 hands down. Their home made tzatziki sauce and thick rotisserie cooked meat then put on the grill .. New York style. I just have to give credit to my guys up there, if you’re looking for the right gyro.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. killer drinks, and great food. hats off .. 🤙“

“The best sushi In norfolk. I have been coming here since 2017.“

“I love the vibes here! Such a cool and unique space with an amazing atmosphere and so many herbal and holistic health items. The food is good too. ❤️“

“Best little brewery in Norfolk.“

“Decent Mexican food, but the last time we were there the beans were not good. They were the consistency of baby food. Prior to this we have never had any complaints. Always excellent service, super fast! Too bad their patio wasn't built out back instead of on busy, ugly Little Creek Rd. A good go-to, neighborhood place.“
