50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Richmond

“Phenomenal flavors paired together for sweet and savory dishes. Unique menu options they change regularly! So yummy 😋“

“Made the drive from the east end for Atlanta Santa! Best ice cream of the season.“

“Caught up with an old friend I hadn’t seen since around ’95/’96 over lunch on 6/17/2025. I’m not usually a downtown Richmond person—city crowds just aren’t my thing—but I’m really glad he suggested this spot. I made the drive from King William, and it was absolutely worth it! The food was fantastic, and the laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect place to reconnect. I had the pork carnitas with a Caesar side salad—super flavorful, and the pork was incredibly tender. The Caesar dressing? Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I’d love to know if it was homemade or store-bought, because I need it in my life! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxed and cool meeting spot. I’m already planning to explore more RIC gems soon!“

“Dear Emilia and Chef Joe, (a letter of thanks for a recent evening event for 62 ladies of The Fan Woman's Club) You and your staff have earned our highest admiration and gratitude in making The Tasting Supper an overwhelming success. This was truly a night sans pareil for all members of the Fan Women’s Club. You curated a seasonal menu elevated by quality farm-to-table ingredients with a combination of extraordinary flavors; crafted a French 75 that could rival the original; your staff provided impeccable and seamless service; and your restaurant gave us an intimate and jovial venue in which to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have no doubt you’ll be seeing members of the Fan Women’s Club as regular diners in the months and years to come.“

“Just had a fantastic New Year's Eve dinner, complete with champagne. Primo service as always.“

“What a fabulous little spot in a neat location. It is sophisticated and chic but not over the top. The food was phenomenal along with the service. You can tell there is truly a passion being expressed through the dishes. Check out their website and the little video they have in there.“

“First time at Edo’s last night. There was a couple walking up the stairs in front of us as we went in, and when we got to the door, a waitress said “I need that cup” and yanked it out of the woman’s hand as she walked off. She was the same waitress that sat us, but not who took our order. The waitress who took our order was extremely rude almost the entire time. A couple of times she brought food out and put it on our table AS she’s walking by. I stopped her once, to ask if we could have our bread warmed as it was cold. She barely stopped as she said “no.” And continued walking. The waitresses were rude and made me feel so uncomfortable with their terrible attitudes. Atmosphere is a little cramped but it was fine. The food was AMAZING though. It was really hot, and the pasta portions were GENEROUS.“

“I had the Atlantic omelette and I was so impressed. It truly had lump crab and lobster in the omelette some omelettes when you deal with seafood are skimpy with the crab and lobster, but hands-down Lulu was one of the best and their omelette was truly well done sometimes omelettes are not cooked all the way through. It was just an amazing experience for me, I was thoroughly impressed. I will be coming back lol 😂 I saw 👀 the chicken and red velvet waffles!“

“Nice place. Good ambience and hygienic. The food was good. The dal and paneer was good the papdi chat was a disappointment. Also the hara bhara kabab turned out to be aloo tikki. Overall I would say the place is good but the food is average.“

“Absolutely enjoyed trying Thai for the first time! The food was delicious! This will be my go to spot every time I'm in Richmond, VA.“

“🇮🇳 Girls Indian lunch date🇮🇳 - Newly opened (Dec ‘22) restuarant serving modern indian cuisines - Beautifully decorated atmosphere - Delicious food w/ even a twist of a warm avocado/coconut patty option on the appetizer menu! - Friendly staff and restuarant manager - Immaculate restrooms“

“Hands down some of the BEST food I have ever had. As for Indian, best Indian I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend!! We will be back to try many other items.“

“Gersi Italian Restaurant in Richmond, VA is straight-up lit. This place is bussin with vibes that are just chef's kiss. The food? Absolute fire. Their homemade pastas are on another level, especially the Limone pasta and skirt steak. And if you haven't tried their vanilla Panna cotta, you're missing out big time. The atmosphere is skibiddi cool, with a perfect mix of cozy and classy. It's the kind of spot where you can flex your riz on a date or just chill with the squad. The service is top-notch too, making you feel like a sigma alpha. Prices are pretty standard for a nice Italian joint, with pasta dishes ranging from $17.95 to $23.95 before tax. And if you're feeling adventurous, their kale salad and homemade tagliatelle Bolognese are definitely worth a shot and the chicken parm slaps! Overall, Gersi is a solid pick if you're in the mood for some legit Italian food in Richmond. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure your drip is fire -Gersi is worth checking out! And ask for Erika she’s sigma!“

“Best food 🍱 and good service“

“I highly recommend Natalie’s. Their food is absolutely delicious. 😋“

“Union Market is a great lunch spot! I’m a big fan of the indoor/outdoor dining, and the neighborhood market feel. The vegan club sandwich was fantastic, but I will always be a fries over chips gal. Richmond restaurants lack parking lots, so it can be tough to find decent parking. I would return, and I am interested in trying other menu items and drink options!“

“Best vegan restaurant 😋 Flavor, variety, consistency, service 🙌 10/10 ⭐️“

“Absolutely fantastic Vegan Food and super friendly staff! Great selection of vegan food, pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. Love it!!!“

“Friendly, fast service and delicious food!“

“Delicious food, mediocre service and 0 stars for not being friendly to kids. Would not recommend bringing your kids here as you’ll get lots of eye rolls and passive aggressive attitudes towards your children. Also asked for a replacement Thai iced tea after mine came with coconut milk and was supposed to be half and half and serve was very clearly frustrated and offered zero resolution other than “being out of half and half so that’s all we can do”. Will just order carry out next time so we don’t have to deal with the poor service.“

“The food was excellent! Had the Japanese burger and Key lime pie and will definitely be back for more.“

“Food was average at best. Out of everything including a cook. Actually closed the kitchen for about 30 minutes because cook was at end of shift and no one there to replace him. They are listed as a Priority Pass discounted restaurant and when asked, they looked at me like I was crazy. No clue.“

“My teenage niece and I had a blast playing the new mini golf holes! The space theme inside is really cool, the topiary animals outside are neat and all the holes are quirky and fun! We played twice and had a nice lunch in between.“

“The rockfish special was fantastic! Great service too. My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at the bar.“

“Wonderful, dense, New England style ice cream. I’ve yet to try a flavor that was not absolutely wonderful. Inventive flavors. You can’t go wrong with anything these guys put out. Also very friendly staff!“

“Great BBQ and the best homemade cheese fries. So delicious! and well-seasoned! I brought dinner home for my kids and they were thrilled. Can’t wait to visit and sit down for a meal!Can't beat the service as they're all so friendly! Need to make it a regular stop!“

“Been to Tusli restaurant a couple of times and have enjoyed the food both the times. Great food and great service. Ali showed great hospitality both the times. Looking forward to going there again soon.“

“My pop came through town about two weeks ago. He said he wanted to grab lunch. I work nearby, and knew he loves a good burger. I was concerned because my mother (who loves cooking, loves learning new recipes, but has her classics and go-to’s, makes his burgers) would never hear the end of it, if the meal was awesome. Well. I was right. So my mom and my pops came to town and wanted to have dinner, with me and my partner. After politely asking us recommendations and subtly dodging each place my partner and I mentioned. My mom asks, “Where did you take Daddy for lunch?” We ended up hanging out and chatting while the staff started to close up. Great food. Every time. Great fast friendly service. Every time. Need a restaurant that your parents like to get them to visit? (Probably not) but THANK YOU, EAZZY BURGER!“

“Absolutely Everything Single Aspect .....“

“I have been twice now and both times the food was great. The view is outside is gorgeous btw. Now as for the food the menu is a variety of dishes themed from different parts of the world. It honestly doesn’t matter what you get it’s going to be delicious. If it’s on the menu when you go I highly recommend the Georgian flatbread, the bao buns, the chorreadas, or the cachapas!“

“Was a truly lovely experience!“

“Best birria egg rolls in Richmond Virginia, food was exceptional 💯💯🫶🏾🫶🏾“

“The atmosphere here is wonderful and the place is extremely clean.

You can tell that they care because I did not see a speck of dust anywhere!

If you need any accommodations, just ask them and they will let you know what they can and cannot do.

Easy to find and easy to get to.

The employees here are very positive and know their menu from top to bottom!

Overall, a wonderful experience and I will be back again!

Vegetarian options: Just ask as all are available

Dietary restrictions: Will accommodate any request

Parking: Street and many other places around“

“One of the top three meals I've ever had. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we always try someplace new. This has been on the list for two years but it's hard to get a reservation. I wasn't too keen on the special drink menu (I don't do gin or bourbon) but they all looked interesting. We got the stuffed quail and coq au Morocco. Deeelicious!! Plan ahead and go! Very worth the experience.“

“Here for the first time on my daughter’s 48th b’day, wanted to support a small business today, and was not disappointed. After a short wait, (10 min), the food, service and atmosphere was amazing & fun. Highly recommend this place.“

“OMG! Amazing Pizza and the hostess was so helpful! The individual sized pizza, at 11inches sounds like a medium… but you may not want to share this perfectly crusted pizza! Perfect family night on the patio. Thank you Fire and Hops Pizza Co.“

“Tried their gyro platters with white sauce n just little hot sauce on side.it was so delicious.loved this cozy place with so many options.“

“Local gem with incredible food and a super friendly owner and staff! I regularly order food from the deli. This place is amazing! One of the best steak subs in Richmond (made with Halal steak and organic local ingredients), and at a price you can’t beat with their Monday and Tuesday special! They also have a lot of delicious, hard to find items in their grocery section. I highly recommend you check this place out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“What a great find for a short trip to Richmond. If you’re in the mood for simple yet great breakfast - this is the place. Waffles, eggs and delicious coffee. No matter what you get, they will not disappoint and the service is also fantastic.“

“Always Delivers! do you want some great Homestyle cooking you can’t beat this👍🏻✌🏼“

“I love this place! The food is terrific and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. I've had the classic samosa, golden milk chai and desi lo mein. Each was out of this world! The owner strives to make his guests feel at home and encourages you to mingle and make new friends. I encourage you to try Gold Lion for the food, drink and friendly vibe!“

“This place checked almost all my boxes for brunch spots;a variety of Benny's, specialty cocktails especially ones with flowers, moonshine, and sparkling, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy; stuffed French toast, and avocado toast. Ambiance was great; the building is an old school movie theatre. Both the food and service we're amazing; Jessica was handling her business!“

“This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. We were just driving through Richmond and decided to stop here for a bite. My husband had the brisket sandwich which he said was fantastic. I had the trainwrek that was so large and outstanding I couldn’t finish it and have leftovers. The food is fresh and has exquisite flavor! If I’m ever in Richmond again I will be returning.“

“They have a fantastic, fresh, and interesting menu. The service is excellent without being too "stuffy." Henley on Grace is a perfect choice for a special afternoon or evening out.“

“Great place to grab good food and great margaritas, Grant and Sam were amazing!!“

“We had a great dinner! The staff was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious! Our waiter Joseph went out of his way to make sure the evening was perfect! Thanks again! We will be back soon!“

“Great local spot with lots of Fan area history.“

“We have been here twice now, both times we were passing through on our way home from vacation. Their cheddar bay biscuits are AMAZING. I wish I had ordered extras to take home with me. My husband got the buffalo chik’n sliders from the refrigerated case and said it was SO good. My son got a huge piece of coffee cake and loved it. We also each got cheddar bay biscuit, and I also got a chocolate croissant and an iced chai. Everything was amazing! They also have a mini store front with lots of awesome vegan products. Candy bars, seasonal items, stickers, jewelry and lots more.“

“Ice cream was so creamy. It was probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had.“
