50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

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

“My Fiancé and I had our first experience at Hen of the Wood in Burlington, what an incredible time we had! We just got engaged and had to celebrate. I decided to get the pork loin, and it was delicious! My fiancé loved his steak. It was perfection. Our waitress was amazing and so thoughtful. She made sure we had everything we needed and was very helpful. the atmosphere was casual yet somewhat formal and we had a blast! Can't forget about how scrumptious those rolls were too! Definitely recommend !!“

“Unbelievably fantastic. Nice room and lighting. Staff were all so friendly, thoughtful and good. Food was amazing. Especially the harissa wings, kale salad and hummus. Better than can even imagine. Great use of spices and inventive dishes. I hope to get back to Burlington just to go back. You must go.“

“Creative menu with well designed and seasoned dishes! Loved everything we got, about 90% of the menu was vegan the day we went. All desserts were vegan as well and included their soft serve ice cream— must try if you have the chance. Wine selection was good, cocktails were tried were so-so.“

“Street parking, small and cozy restaurant and reservation recommended.
Our first time there and not impressed with the food. Service was very good, cocktail was rather small for the $17 charged and had a very strong cardamom taste. Pizza was ok. Crust was a little on the soft side (partly soggy). Looks like the Verace style but far from having the same taste and texture.“

“Just stopped in here for a solo lunch and am speechless. The food was beyond outstanding; only outweighed by the cozy atmosphere and friendly service. I had the half-half lunch special with a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio. 10 out of 10 recommend!!“

“Excellent food at a great price“

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

“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“

“Great night out with my sons! (11 and 12) The atmosphere is great. We were in the lounge area and just had to walk to the counter to order and everything was brought to our table. They have a bunch of board games to play, and then after dinner we played a little in the game room.“

“Had a lot of fun here on our honeymoon in 2015. Highly recommend!“

“Great spot, great beers and friendly service. A nice place to enjoy a drink by the lake front in Burlington. We’ll be back next time for sure!“

“The host and server were so nice! The food was excellent and the service was fast. Highly recommend!“

“The best clam chowder I have ever had. It was so creamy and had just the right amount of flavor. We have been in New England all week and all I wanted was some clam chowder and it was worth the wait. My husband had the fish tacos and enjoyed them too. I was a little disappointed in the fries. They look fresh cut in the pictures but they didn’t taste like they were.“

“Amazing service! Great food! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Ron and his wife are always amazing and Proffasional. I been going here since 2005. My to go place for fish and chips England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 style and of course their huge subs. Love all the staff all amazing and keep up the good work.“

“The food, wine, latte, and cannoli were fabulous! Lexi provided exceptional service — her menu suggestions and insights were spot on. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Burlington. The food, service, and atmosphere are all fantastic. It's casually elegant without being shishi. It's got a grotto-like atmosphere with string lighting that is perfect for a cozy evening. The food is fresh and changes seasonally.“

“Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwich : The tomato soup was comforting and well-balanced, with a smooth texture and good acidity. It paired nicely with the grilled cheese, which was crisp on the outside and adequately melted inside. Overall, this was a satisfying and familiar lunch option.
Cold Sandwich with Tofu : The tofu sandwich was light and fresh, suitable for a plant-based option. The tofu itself could benefit from stronger seasoning or a more flavorful marinade to elevate the overall taste. Adding a contrasting sauce or pickled element may improve depth and balance.

Lunch offerings were simple and wholesome. With slight enhancements to seasoning and flavor complexity—especially for vegetarian items—the menu could feel more distinctive and memorable“

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

“Good food and beer. Large dinning area“

“yummy breakfast sandwiches!“

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

“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“

“I will drive the 45 miles from home for these dumplings 🥟!“

“I love this local restaurant! Great burgers and chicken sandwiches. Fries are crispy and tasty. Drinks are always well made by the super friendly bartender. And they also do a great weekend brunch.“

“Delicious sandwiches and extremely fresh! When I got there, egg salad was crossed off the board so I asked if they were out and the employee said “it’s not a problem” and promptly made a fresh batch just for my sandwhich. now that’s customer service!!!“

“Favorite place to eat in Burlington! The vegetarian hot pot is so good, and they have good gluten free vegetarian dim sum choices earlier in the day, and in the summer when it's too hot for hot pot. The owners are very friendly, and it's always packed!“

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

“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!“

“kind and accommodating staff willing to give food suggestions to an out of town visitor looking for a tasty but affordable meal after shopping!“

“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.“

“Some great cider options including several non-alcoholic options and everything between very dry and sweet. Over a dozen cider styles. Our favorites were the Juicy Hazy and the Unified. The fried cheese curds were exceptional and made from local Vermont cheese.“

“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.“

“The best Indian food in Burlington owned by a caring family who make you feel welcome.“

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

“With the country going the way it has been. It’s places like this that raise my spirits. Community is what matters. This is a place that believes that. Oh and it has great food and service. Keep standing by your beliefs and I believe our community will keep standing by you.“

“Two of us stopped in for a late lunch. The place was packed. Hungry customers ranged in age from babies to senior citizens. They offered indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside, as the day was blazing hot. I ordered the fish tacos, which were delicious. They only had two alcoholic drink options: Corona and their cocktail of the day. This is a very fun and pleasant place to eat. Highly recommended.“

“Went to the 80s vs 90s show I came All the way from NY ! I love the setting and the show was phenomenal!!“

“the guys there are amazing funny friendly. great food and nice deli 👌“

“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 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.“

“Fish and chips here is delicious and huge portions. Big filet of fish, lightly battered, you couldn't beat it in many other places. Their fries are also pretty great. Had a Caesar salad as replacement too which was tasty. The server was super chill. He gave some suggestions/advice on what food to get which was helpful.“

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

“Jed, the Mixologist is amazing. He has an incredible range of combinations and mixes that will suit your every mood and taste. A genius!“

“If you like spicy food, just ask them to make your dish extra spicy—they deliver!

Our all-time favorites:
🌶️ Singapore Noodles – Extra Spicy
🌶️ Chicken Fried Rice – Extra Spicy
(Yes, insist on the spice!)

Amazing food and consistent quality.

And coming from a South Indian household (my wife makes incredible spicy South Indian food), that means a lot!“
