50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Burlington

“Disappointed. The food was mediocre and a little pricey. Husband and son had the steak burger which was small and not very well seasoned. Wait staff was very nice. Ambiance is pleasant.“

“What a fantastic experience. The staff were fabulous and the food was delicious. Be sure to get their Parker House rolls. The wine menu was extensive and bar staff were helpful with selections. If you are staying at Hotel Vermont, it is right next door. Highly recommend for dinner and drinks.“

“it's our first time here and won't be our last. We come up from NY every labor day weekend and just found this place. The food was amazing, and that's an understatement. 10 out of 10 sure“

“The BEST food you will find prepared by the most wonderful people!“

“We had the mobile pizza oven, antipasti boards, appetizers and dessert served at our wedding this fall.

Sara was professional, responsive and easy to work with. She ensured that all our requests were heard and accounted for. She answered all of our many questions promptly and thoroughly throughout the year leading up to the wedding.

At the wedding, the food was delicious: our gluten free and vegan guests were very happy, and the buffet ran smoothly without any wait for our hungry guests.

Highly recommend for a wedding or any event!“

“3 protein make your bowl is the best!!!“

“Excellent food at a great price“

“Another great meal. Try the secret menu item, Maria Burger! You can’t go wrong !“

“What a cool trendy place. Upon nearing the establishment, you can already smell unique smells of this different cuisine. The Turkish and Mediterranean dishes are varied in flavours, ones you will not find elsewhere. We opted for the bar on a busy Friday evening. The place was packed. We had olives, the cucumber dish, octopus, chicken wings and fattoush. I can’t get over the sweet harissa and caramelization of the chicken wings. These are basically unlike any chicken wings you’ve ever had. The cocktails, especially the green tequila based one, were excellent and strong. Our bartender was lovely and charismatic, while being attentive. She even surprised us with a dish and created a unique cocktail for me. Can’t wait to return next time we visit the area.“

“food was amazing, and the server was friendly very kind person. Definitely recommend Sherpa Kitchen!“

“The dark chocolate gelato was delicious!“

“A-mazing. Some of the best flavors I've had in a long time. deelish“

“This is definitely the BPOE. Best Pizza On Earth. Our server Orson was a real friendly feller. I got the Power to the People Pizza and more than loved it. Eating here was ecstasy. Buffalo sauce drenched chicken jumbled with tomato sauce and blue cheese, and a delicious crust, dipped in zesty ranch. Heavenly.“

“it's our first time here and won't be our last. We come up from NY every labor day weekend and just found this place. The food was amazing, and that's an understatement. 10 out of 10 sure“

“Amazing food and atmosphere right on the water! Lobster roll was out of this world fresh! Truffle fries were amazing and the malt vinegar aioli wow!!!“

“Amazing service and food and atmosphere“

“Super barista and fantastic baked goods. I just wish they opened earlier as I start work at 8:00.“

“We have a friend that is seriously ill and we wanted a very special meal for he and his wife prepared and delivered to their home. The manager and staff arrived at work early to make it happen and would not accept a fee for delivery. They went beyond their duties and provided a marvelous meal for our friends. What beautiful hearts and souls they have. We thank you all so very much for your great meals and service.“

“Sandwiches so good they will bring tears to your eyes!“

“Amazing service! Great food! Highly recommend!“

“best drunken noodles i’ve ever had“

“Great space with wonderful staff. had breakfast and poached eggs were the best I've ever had.“

“We got the chicken soup and Indian soup on a hot, muggy July afternoon. Seriously exciting flavors in the Indian soup and depth of flavor in the chicken soup broth.
The prices are a little high - to be expected in a town like Burlington - but you get your pallet’s worth if you don’t get your belly’s worth.“

“Spacious, comfortable, and the chicken salad wrap was great.“

“Went to the Winooski location after trying the amazing Sugar Shack at the Burlington Farmers Market. Now we’re here every weekend!! The summer chai is absolutely incredible.“

“We had bluebird cater our wedding this past Saturday and it was perfect and delicious l!“

“absolutely the best breakfast I've had in forever!“

“We came in for an early dinner and were sat immediately! Seems to be more of a take out place.
Top notch mango lassi. Mango and yogurt combination was top tier.
Chicken Korma was less on the sweetness, different than our local place back home, but I actually prefer the one here. Flavor was wonderful and hit all the rights spots.
Tandoori chicken was a huge portion and we ended up taking home leftovers enough to be another meal!
Staff is lovely.“

“The lack of changing tables in the restrooms is unacceptable. Parents shouldn’t have to choose between taking kids outside or putting them on the floor of a diaper change is needed.“

“I ordered two shrimp tacos for $12 amazing a mushroom soup that was outstanding and I bought two more to go. It was amazing the soup was. The mixed drinks were reasonable price a person named Thomas was amazing bartender he was fabulous. I would recommend to go here to eat. It’s very good feeling good atmosphere food.“

“I have been going out to eat all of my life; this is the best restaurant I have ever been too. The atmosphere is spectacular, the staff went above and beyond and of course the food was unbelievably splendid. I’m genuinely thinking about moving to Vermont just so I can eat here more often-! What a wonderful time thank you guys! Everyone one is so sweet, thank you for the tea leaves 💕 I’ll be back soon :)“

“Definitely the best bagel shop in Burlington!“

“Absolutely delicious!!! From appetizer selection to entre. Every special occasion and family group eat outs here from now on.“

“Got the Thai chicken on curry and cheesesteak on white. Both big and tasty, but 2/3 of the Thai was rice and 2/3 of the cheesesteak was filled with lettuce. Curry wrap was good! If there was a little more protein in each and chicken wasn’t bland I’d go 5 star. Still a solid lunch spot.“

“We are so excited that we have found a place that serves delicious, nutritious juices, smoothies, and much more. The moment you take your first sip, you start feeling healthier and happier. If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself. You'll be glad you did! 😄“

“Chashu bowl was Amazing!! Best pork ever. Tender. Wonderful flavor. Filling. Wow!“

“Stopped by this week for the first time ever after my coworkers told me it was a ‘can’t miss spot’. It was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in Burlington. Food was excellent (don’t sleep on the Georgia Burger, it’s worth the hype), value was spot on for the food, and plenty of parking. Service was extremely kind and speedy. 10/10 recommend“

“We were looking for a quick bite before a show at the Flynn center and stopped into Red Panda on a whim. I'm so glad we did- We sat at the bar and had a glass of wine and a beer, we split two appetizers and biryani, everything was delicious, and quick. Family owned, the nice young man who served us said his aunt and uncle were the owners. Highly recommend.“

“This place REALLY threw me for a loop… walking there I was expecting a quickie bite.. not an amazing dinner meal that even my picky husband enjoyed!

The vibe definitely did not match the level of culinary skills in the food. We got chive pancakes, they were chewy crispy and savory - perfect appetizer!

Two Asahi’s to complement our entrees:
crying tiger fried rice, the sirloin was marinated to PERFECTION! Best I’ve EVER had.
Duck Penang was an entire duck leg in a creamy delicious curry sauce with pineapples and tomatoes. So mouthwatering thinking about it now..

Staff was soooo young but SUPER hospitable and lovely! Luckily we’re not locals otherwise it’d be a weekly meal here for us!“

“I recommend a lot but I do not recommend the coffee Toffee bar crunch. Awful. Heath bar crunch was delish but this is so terrible.“

“yummy breakfast sandwiches!“

“Bartenders Will and Jayden did a fantastic job. Service was quick and prompt. The food was even better. I don't know what this place is paying them but this place should pay them more. Excellent service. Hip atmosphere job well done 👏 Shane“

“Absolutely blown away by the food here! 🌟 Had the Japanese Ramen and kimchi beef stew - both were TO DIE FOR. HIGHLY recommend the Japanese beef Ramen, it's a game-changer 😋. If you're craving amazing Asian comfort food, get here ASAP! 5 stars isn't enough!!“

“It's primarily take out, but there are a few small tables inside to eat. I found the quality to be good. We had a variety of rice and noodle dishes. Flavorful, large portions, well spiced. Priced well too- most entrees are in the $13-17 range, making it a bargain. Funky origami paper artwork around the space adds an artistic flair so you can temporarily feel like a hipster when picking up your food.“

“We have been coming here since 1986 when it was a tiny spot that let us teenagers sit and drink coffee all day. They are one of Burlington’s oldest and most loved restaurants, known for their early bird Bistro dinner that serves French classics like Beef Bourgignon, Steak Frites and even gluten free Cavatappi Carbonara. Tonight it was snowing hard and the restaurant was still full and the service was terrific. It’s our go-to place for the last 35 years and I’m grateful they are still around.“

“Fresh, tasty, and authentic! Thanks Carlo and the crew for a great lunch and dinner. We had a fresh salad and tasty garlic bites in their awesome restaurant, then took home 2 great pizzas for dinner later that evening. All our ingredients were fresh, and well seasoned, ricotta to die for! We got a mickster and a prosciutto pie and, can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“Great pizza and friendly staff. The outdoor dinning is perfect. I think number one pizza in all of Vermont. 😊“

“This restaurant has been our favorite for 20 years! We go several times a year and have never, ever had a bad experience. The staff is so knowledgeable and top notch. The food is superb (especially the sesame chicken dumplings and dry fried green beans…..and the cauliflower….and the lemon shrimp…..and if there’s any fish specials….)“

“Been going here forever, my kid’s favorite. Lots of toppings to choose from. Over the years they keep adding vegan options or you can make your own. Their signature pizzas are amazing - Vegan Salvation is my go to. Updated from previous review on 2026-07-18“
