46 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Reston

“We had an incredible experience. The ceviche sampler was the star of the night — fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. The lomo saltado was packed with flavor, tender, and beautifully prepared. And the dessert dome was a full-on show! A special thank you to Patricia, who was attentive, helpful, and genuinely polite throughout the entire visit. She made the experience even better. I’m already looking forward to coming back“

“Everything is excellent and perfect!!!!!!“

“Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge (BCI: 86) 11927 Democracy Dr, Reston, VA Step into Jackson’s and you’re stepping into a space that bridges eras - a Reston mainstay that blends classic Americana with a contemporary culinary pulse. The curved brick façade, glowing neon, terrazzo floors, and murals set a retro-modern stage that feels both familiar and fresh. The menu is as versatile as the atmosphere. The Blue Crab & Shrimp Fritters arrive golden and crisp, with a lobster-ginger sauce that balances sweet and tang. Deviled Eggs topped with pecans and sugar-cured bacon hit nostalgic notes with a twist. For mains, the Short Smoked Salmon Filet was balanced and flavorful, while the 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye stands out as the indulgent showpiece - perfectly grilled and paired with Brussels sprouts, bacon, and spiced pecans. Gluten-sensitive diners aren’t sidelined here, with Ozzie’s Brick Chicken and even flourless desserts on a dedicated menu. Save room for dessert: the Flourless Chocolate Waffle with Ice Cream was rich yet not overwhelming, and the Lemon Marshmallow Meringue Pie playful and bright. Cocktails, like the Jackson’s Mule, are well-crafted and fairly priced. Service was attentive and well-paced even in a bustling room, though weekends bring a lively (and loud) crowd. Reservations are smart for dinner; weekday lunches are easier. My only miss: the French Dip. Beautifully presented but mine arrived closer to raw than medium rare, with a lukewarm au jus. For $30, I expected more precision. That said, many online reviewers rave about it. So consider it a hit-or-miss item depending on your taste for ultra-rare beef. Whether it’s a business lunch, a date night, or a family dinner, Jackson’s delivers. A broad menu, strong service, and lively atmosphere keep it at the center of Reston dining. BCI: 86 reflects weighted and normalized ratings across multiple platforms, showing that Jackson’s consistently delivers strong experiences. The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI) is a proprietary algorithm that blends multi-platform ratings into a single, normalized score to give diners a clearer picture of overall consensus.“

“So happy to have Red’s within walking distance of my house. We recently took a group of friends there and were lucky to get the private room. Great food and service! Tried their oysters for the first time and they were really good.“

“I've been going to the Silver Diner in Reston for over 15 years. Food is always good, new items added to menu seasonally, staff are real folks who are easy to talk with and joke with as well. You get a sense of "family" when you are there as staff and customers interact. Servers are fun people and make your day. Today was Rubia's day and she is special. Come out and see for yourself.“

“The Thai food we ordered was fresh and delicious. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, our food arrived without delay, hot and scrumptious! Great atmosphere, very relaxing and cozy. Highly recommend.“

“Gregorio’s is somewhere I can always feel at home with friends and family. The food is excellent and the feeling is always welcoming.“

“Had an amazing dinner and really fun experience. Really appreciate our server Tatiana, she kept the mood fun and upbeat and did a great job! Highly recommend“

“I love the tapas. They have great Spanish menus and some vegan choices too! Must try: cauliflower and eggplant, and beets for vegans. Spanish: flan is so good, patatas bravas, salmon with kale, Espanola torta, beef empanada.“

“Yo this burger place definitely surprised me. The burger was juicy, fries were crispy, and the milkshake honestly slapped 😂. Food quality was easily the best part of the whole experience. Service was still solid but the wait time took a little longer than expected during dinner rush. Atmosphere was fun though and the restaurant felt clean and comfortable. Definitely coming back because the food alone was worth it 🍔🔥🥤“

“Incredible experience from the second you walk in to the moment you leave. The menu is expansive and filled with a huge variety of seafood options. The taste and flavors are exquisite. And the service is very pampering.“

“Best cappuccino around! Perfect for business meetings“

“Huge shoutout to Tyreke and Maya at the DC Wharf location. Both of them recommended the glazed pork belly taco and bowl. Let me just say they deserve a promotion! The pork belly was the best tasting food I’ve ever had. Holy cow thank you both of you for that recommendation. Also, an additional shoutout to Tyreke for the churro selection for us off the dessert menu. I mean this has been the best meal we have had since being in DC! Thanks again for the recommendations and hope to see you in Indiana when you open one in our town 👊🏻👊🏻“

“First time seeing this place, but I knew what I wanted immediately. Loaded fresh birria tacos, the most satisfying in northern Virginia. Ask for hot sauce upgrades! I didn't dip these because they seem perfect as served. Get some tres leches to soothe the sizzle.“

“I have eaten here dozens of times including my birthday this year. The food and service have consistently been incredible! My family loves the atmosphere and friendly staff, and even my kiddos ask to stop by for shrimp pops. Definitely recommend Ariake!“

“Restaurant for the family. Nice environment!!!!“

“Yummy! Yummy! I ordered from DoorDash, but I’m definitely gonna go there in person now as it was amazing 😋“

“Great first time experience and my dinner was delicious. Ian was awesome and very knowledgeable and gave wonderful recommendations. Another amazing birthday day dinner.“

“For a quick service type place, everything was clean and well taken care of. We ordered stir fry and their honey desserts to go. Everything is customizable which is nice, so vegans and vegetarians can definitely find options here. Food was good and service was quick. We'll be back!“

“I stopped by Taste of Istanbul this afternoon for the first time. For the most part it was really good. I ordered a potato pide, 2 doner kebab, mixed meze, and pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious except for the”baklava”, which turned out to be two greasy dough cylinders. No phyllo, no honey, no pistachio filling. I was disappointed that I wasted $7.00 for inedible dough I ended up throwing in the garbage. Get the kebabs, stay away from their version of baklava.“

“Best place to hang out at Lake Anne, hands down. Great beer, super cozy atmosphere, nice view of the lake. With one of those choice pretzels and a pint I could sit here all day alone or with friends happy as a clam in mud.“

“I just finished an absolutely fantastic meal with my family and felt compelled to share our experience. This restaurant is a true hidden gem, delivering phenomenal food that caters to diverse tastes.
We started with the falafel, and they were perfect—crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful inside, easily some of the best I've had. The beef shawarma was equally impressive; the meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and served with delicious accompaniments.
What really surprised us, in the best way possible, was the Philly cheesesteak. It was authentic, loaded with thinly sliced beef, melted cheese, and fresh ingredients. It might sound like an unusual item for the menu, but they absolutely nailed it!
The staff were welcoming, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was great for a family dinner. Whether you're craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine or a classic American sandwich done right, this place delivers on all fronts. We will definitely be back!“

“They have the best food, quick delivery. Even ice cream delivered for desert! Yum.“

““MyHome” is located in a quiet part of Reston with plenty of parking. It takes many visits to fully explore the menu, so start with your Thai favorites and go from there. Friendly staff. So glad to have this gem in the neighborhood, though it’s close to the toll road so easy to get to from further away.“

“My fiancé and I tried this place last night and we 10/10 recommended! Great staff & service. Food was amazing! We recommend the crab dip and pizza! Will come back again“

“Wonderful!! It was a great first experience!“

“We loved our experience. Came for dinner with my husband and ordered several dishes. The chicken platter appetizer came out sizzling and delicious. We also enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer). The Natu Kodi and Shrimp Curry entrees were both spicy oily and tomato-based with the perfect amount of seasoning… very rich in flavor. Enjoyed both of those dishes. My favorite entree was the paneer butter masala. Amazing sauce - similar to butter chicken sauce. I was eating the sauce with everything!! Also had an amazing Chicken Dum Biryani where the chicken was on the bottom of the rice. The garlic naan was phenomenal. Got to meet their chef Krishna who was super nice and explained some of the dishes to us. We were pleased with our meal and will be back to try out their buffet next!“

“The Salmon Santorini bowl was really better than I had anticipated. The mix of crunchy veggies, creamy tzatziki, and fresh fish produced the ideal harmony of tastes. It had a light yet substantial flavor, which is precisely what I want in a nutritious lunch.“

“It’s the best broiled chicken I’m was eat !!! The atmosphere was very friendly“

“My girlfriend and I went here for our first time for our 3 year anniversary. It was a very nice and cute place and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was excellent, we both enjoyed what we got and kept talking about how good it was. The best part of our whole meal was our server Jaden. He was very patient with us as first timers and gave great recommendations. My girlfriend and I had a good time with him and great laughs, Jaden and the whole restaurant is a main reason we’ll keep coming back and bring our friends!“

“Great food and service. Definitely worth your time and money“

“On a cozy, rainy morning, we had a mindful walk to Lake Anne and a magical lunch at Cafe Montmartre. One of our favorite spots, for sure“

“I am a fan of San Ramons, the spicy salsa is perfect...its spicy, the green salsa tastes fresh and the their house salsa is really good too. The tortillas are maize! Corn. Which is the way. Como en casa, gracias! The staff is very cool too. And the ambiance is cool, southern Cali vibes. I'll be back soon for sure.“

“great food and service! would take this over the major chain any day if the week!“

“Great food, great service, very clean. I found my new favorite place in Reston.“

“The people who work here are extremely kind, very passionate about their food, and definitely know their flavor. I went here two days in a row after not having been for a while, and let me say, it was the BEST Chinese food I’ve had in the DMV area in my entire 16 years living. I definitely, 1000% recommend coming to this place and trying what they have. I got the spicy fish hot pot, and my mom got the chongqing chicken with chili, and it was so good. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re ever in the area“

“I enjoyed my bowl today. I just built my own bowl and the portion was sizable. I will go again. I hope they don’t raise their prices though. It’s already pretty pricey for someone to just scoop a bunch of ingredients I to a bowl.“

“Food and service are both great“

“I will say I walked in and it was like I was greeted like a part of the establishment, I’ve never been here before and asked the staff respectful what do we do! Joyfully “David” and “Sullay” guided me through the whole experience! Such great staff and great food! 5⭐️ All the way!! Check it out staff is great! “ key to all (help with a tip jar!”“

“Awesome Place and Environment!! Great Staff, Service and Really Good Food 🔥 Highly Recommend 🥵💰“

“Our server (Kenneth) was extremely professional and prompt with our orders despite the restaurant being under staffed at the time we were there. Great food and our waiter and the manager were very accommodating to our food orders/request. We will be back soon!!“

“I recommend this place for it's food choices, alternative non-alcohol yummy adult type drinks, awesome chefs and food service staff (everyone here was super nice and totally hospitable, especially Chris at the bar where I sat to eat), and last bit not least -the cleanliness and open design hides nothing. You can see the kitchen prep and the ambiance is lovely... bright and clean with clean HVAC! I love this place. My dinner was delicious and the black tea had lavender... delightful!“

“good food and service. first time here. I plan on coming back again.“
