50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Essex

“I hosted a work holiday party and ordered from the catering menu. The pastas, salad and garlic knots were a huge hit with my staff. Jennifer was great at suggesting how much to order and had it ready to pick up right on time. I would highly recommend Hoagies for catering to anyone looking to feed a crowd on a budget!“

“Basic decor, but the food is delicious! This is our go to Chinese place for many years.Vegetarian options: Virtually any dish can be made vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: They will make your food to order.Parking: Shopping plaza plenty of spaces.Kid-friendliness: Well you're usually just waiting for your order, but they have kids and kids are welcome to wait with you.Wheelchair accessibility: It's near a curb cut and a big open parking lot and the entrance is level. Not much room in the waiting area though.“

“I had some subpar pho in the city while visiting Vermont so wanted to try another place. I had the pho dat? I think and the shrimp rolls. The shrimps rolls were soooo good crispy. Also, after taking my order the waitress stumbled into the wall curtain and almost fell? she was cute tho 5/5 would go again“

“Have been here a few times usually for pizza, but have tried some pasta dishes and appetizers too. Pizza is really good, thinner crust, good sauce ratio. The buffalo chicken pizza is delicious, I never order buffalo chicken pizza and here we get it every time. The service has always been great. Last two times we went we've had the same server who is awesome, and even brought out some pizza dough for my 4yo to play with which it's always helpful to keep kids occupied until food comes. Highly recommend this place, we are from out of town but visit family locally and it's always my son's first pick to come here (and the adults are happy with always coming).Kid-friendliness: High chairs and boosters available. Staff great with kids.“

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.“

“very nice!!! food was hot,fresh,affordable and more than enough. coming from someone with a big appetite i left full. the band was excellent!!! dirty looks band, if you haven’t already definetly check them out!!!! come early as this place gets packed . seemed geared more to my generation ( the 40-50 year olds). sadly i’m feeling old these days and struggle a bit with becoming easily overwhelmed with big crowds and loud noises but i wanted to try it at least once. if you love the bar scene this place is a must try. they also have a very large dance floor. i highly suggest giving this place a shot.Parking: looks like if you arrive early enough there’s plenty of parking but highly suggest getting there early. also couldn’t find it on the food drop down list but my son and i each ordered the chicken tender baskets. cost less than thirty all together and was hot,fresh,plenty and excellent!!!“

“As not one for Indian foods, this place surprised me! The food was some of the best in the area, and not even limited to just Indian cuisine. The love poured into each dish shines through as does the warmth and welcoming personalities of the family who run the place (from North India directly). I loved everything from the Spicy Noodle Samosas, to the Garlic Naan, and the Kadhi Pakoda. Nothing was less than perfect. The desserts were stellar too, we had the Mango Kulfi and the Coconut Cham-Cham, both of which were balanced perfectly. Thank you to everyone who made this place a reality, they have won me over and I know they will win you too!“

“Had a great experience sitting at the bar recently. They were very busy but the bartender took my order as soon as she could, and she was helpful & friendly. Their selection of amari is definitely among the best in the state. I ordered the arugula salad and it was massive, with a good amount of shaved Parm and a tasty dressing. Enjoyed tasting a preview of a super good cocktail that's now on their new Spring menu, called the "Bee's Peas" (thanks Nick!).“

“Tried this place on Sunday and the experience was amazing! There was no reservations left so we called when they opened and they told us they have extra spots reserved for walkins at the bar or chefs table. We got a cute little corner area of the bar and it was great! We had the rolls and oysters to start, then I had the scallops and beats for the small dishes and my partner had the swordfish. . The flavour profile of all 3 dishes were soooo good! and we finished off with a soft cheese for desert. We also ordered a smooth red Rioja which just made the night better. Definitely recommend!“

“One of many great Burlington restaurants. They have a series of unique pizzas cooked in a large fire oven. The sausage pizza was a little disappointing - the sausage was made locally and the spice was too timid and this didn’t really help the overall taste of the pizza. Our other pizza was very good. We got a brownie with a scoop of ice cream which was average. Kinda felt like I could have easily made a box of brownies and added a scoop of ice cream and it would have been just as good.Loved the interior.“

“Kismayo looks unassuming from the outside but it is well worth a stop. They serve a small, simple menu. I ordered the coconut chicken stew, somosas, and a delicious sweet cardamom tea. The stew was flavorful but delicate, with really nicely seasoned, perfectly cooked rice. The samosas were perfectly shaped with fresh tasting ingredients and a subtle heat. The food is clearly made to a high standard and with love. The ladies that run the place also seem to want to create a polite and friendly atmosphere. I'll be coming back.“

“This place is incredible every time!! We love the panang curry, the vermicelli bowls have the best homemade sauce. The customer service is amazing no matter if it is busy, busy or just regular busy. Don't let a lone line scare you, the system there ensures delicious, fresh food pretty quickly. Fresh ingredients, delightful customer service, consistency & fantastic prices - what more could you ask for!!Thank you for everything Pho Hong!Vegetarian options: Tofu is an option but there are a lot of fresh vegetable selections as well.“

“Good food great service great atmosphere“

“I’m a big planer when I go on trips and I don’t know how I missed this place, but while hanging around town a woman recommended it to me and praise the stars she did. Some of THE best Mediterranean food I’ve had. And for the love of Pete do NOT skip out on the harissa chicken wings, they are a must get dish. The dolma was dream worthy and I’ve never had octopus the way they served it and it may be difficult to go back. Amazing food, wonderful service and an awesome experience and atmosphere. 20/10 IMO“

“Server was very attentive and had great suggestions for items to share.(Meatball, kebab, one appetizer platter)Everything was beyond delicious.We all left full and with just enough to bring to our friend!Vegetarian options: there were some vegetarian soup and salad options, anything else was labled“

“With a name like this and two smiling toast in the logo you better have friendly service; they absolutely do! The hosts were nicer than most I have encountered. We ordered a waffle and a classic eggs breakfast. They offer a great cocktail selection too. The food arrived fast! Overall tasty but the potatoes were way too seasoned for my liking. The marble rye was Texas toast sized! The decor and merch were quiet fun!“

“I’ve had many different dishes here, all have been excellent. My favorites are the hot garlic chicken (appetizer) and the paneer tika masala (main). The roti is very good. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and very convenient location with surrounding attractions.“

“very kind people and delicious food“

“Fast, clean, always yummy!“

“4. Great cafe with a big menu for breakfast and lunch and lots of amazing looking baked goods. Friendly staff and big open space. The door kept being left open so it was really cold inside. My partner had the breakfast sandwhich which he said was really good but could have benefitted from bacon (not just bacon jam). I had the chickpea salad which was good but there were a number of wilted lettuce pieces which was kind of annoying.They make their chai in-house and it’s great. They only have one alternative milk (oat) and the only option for regular milk is whole milk.They use vegetable oil on their cooktop so not great if you have an allergy to soy.No vegan options in the baked goods section except for the bread which was yummy!Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians- not a ton if you’re vegan!“

“A solid 5/5! We loved the atmosphere, the service was great, food and drinks were great! We sat at the bar because we went on a Sunday night and they told us that there were no tables available, we would definitely return if we visit Burlington again. Our favorite spot of the weekend!“

“4.5!Really great brewery. Beautiful front patio which was full, but they offered us seating in the back which was less vibey but nice and quiet. Big selection of beers-and they’re happy to let you sample before ordering. Also, great menu for accompaniments if you’re hungry! There was also a stage for music, but no one playing when we were there.They were accommodating of allergies and willing to check the labels of their snacks.“

“The food was AMAZING! I got lox scrambled eggs with a popover and will def go back for the exact same thing!!!“

“Now this is a place you want to go if you want great food and great service!One of the best breakfast places we've eaten at. Food was delicious and the service was friendly, quick, and just a really nice place.If you're in the area I definitely recommend. We walked pass on Sunday and the queue was long so we thought we'd try it on the Tuesday....glad we did.“

“My wife and I have gone to Bluebird multiple times in the past few years. We’ve had very mixed experiences, some great and some not so memorable. However, my wife and I went recently and had the bbq for two. We had the brisket, smoked turkey and smoked chicken. The brisket was juicy, had a great bark and was super tender (best one we ever had). The chicken was unbelievably moist, fall off the bone, and a delicious smokey taste. The turkey was tender and had a great smokey taste. As for the sides we had the Mac and cheese (perfectly cooked, seasoned and creamy), the coleslaw (creamy and fresh), the braised kale (really well cooked down and perfectly seasoned), and the broccoli (was nothing really special and I would opt for a different side next time). Their maple lemonade was refreshing and a little tart and their bbq sauces really complimented all the meats super well.Whereas I would have rated my food a lot lower in other visits, their food today has redeemed itself and I’m confident in recommending bluebird to anyone visiting Burlington (or lives in-town or nearby). My wife also has celiac disease and they made sure to be careful in the kitchen, and brought the Mac and cheese separately to prevent any cross-contamination, which we greatly appreciated.“

“The reviews on this place did not disappoint. Our service was good and the food was delicious. I got the meat skillet and my wife got the vermonter corned beef hash skillet. Mine was excellent and my wife enjoyed hers as well. It's not a super big place and got busy quick but there was no wait to get in when we arrived. Definitely stop to check this place out.“

“Stopped here for bagel sandwiches, and walked out with a bunch more. Amazing staff and food. Don't sleep on the coffee, it was a highlight.Kid-friendliness: Bagels, fresh cut fruit, and plenty of juice choices. All a picky eater desires.“

“My Fiancee and I had lunch here today. We got there at about 11:30 at Union Jacks this place gets to be very busy considering that we were fourth in line. But when we were about to placed our order I saw the line behind us grow to 6-7 people in line. From the counter to the entrance door. So my advice to you all to either get there when they open or call and order ahead.My fiancee had the Fish and Chips along with a large side order of Fried Pickles. I had a Pastrami and Swiss Panini style on jalapeno bread. My side order was a large order of onion rings. We ate our food there and it was brought out to us at our table and you could see the steam coming off our food.I really enjoyed seeing Union Jacks staff knowing their "regulars" of what they want to eat or just seeing on how their well being.Union Jacks has been in the same place for the last 26 years and still going strong!Vegetarian options: The menu at Union Jacks is broken down on their website and also on the menu board at the restaurant.Parking: It's a shared parking along with other businesses.Kid-friendliness: Yes, Union Jacks has a kid friendly menu.Wheelchair accessibility: All of the businesses have wheelchair accessible to their entrances.“

“This place is a delightful culinary adventure. It took me a very short time to realize that they have a dish for everyone in my party. Ishaque (Isac) the Chef is always present and willing to help and answers my questions when I want to try something new. The value is great too. When I come dor dinner it feels like going to a friend's house.I always leave Makalu with a great smile.“

“Best Cider around!Update for my second visit!Best Cider, best Cider cocktails now anywhere near here last few trips to Burlington! Stopped in for some drinks and a snack.. Pretzel bites are great and definitely try a flight or two! The Dock Side Muke is amazing! Perfect plate to hang out and have a few amazing ciders. Make sure you have room in your car to bring a few cans back with you with some truly unique blends of Cider! Will be back again on our next travels through Burlington!“

“Crab dip special was fantastic, french onion soup was delicious, braised short rib was tasty. Portions were a little small for the price but the taste is worth the value. (We liked the chocolate mousse too!) Would reccomend! Service was friendly and fun!“

“By walking by I thought this was only a walkup Creemee location because the line was always long. This store has so much more to offer once you step inside! I would recommend anything on the menu with local maple syrup. The staff were friendly thoughtful and helpful. A bonus of great sunset seating here as well!♡“

“My mom came to visit me in town and we came here. So glad we did. Sat at the bar. Friendly prompt service. Good wine. Delicious bread!!! And I loved my entree: stuffed quail and mushroom risotto. Great flavor, well executed. Oh! And the tiramisu was THE BEST dessert I’ve had out! Seriously.I live here in Burlington and don’t go out that much anymore because I’ve been so let down by really expensive meals that aren’t that great. Trattoria was worth it.It was so refreshing to have a fantastic night out with great food and ambience. Mom loved it too— and she’s a tough critic!“

“The food is AMAZING! Hot, fresh seafood. The service was friendly, flexible and fast! The portions are huge! They used gluten free batter for us for the fish and shrimp! The French friend were hand cut and crispy! Delicious!! I will eat here again and again.“

“We really enjoyed the food. The server was apparently very Burlington and was a bit unpredictable. We were late in the evening diners, which doesn't bode well for downtown Burlington - we had no idea. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner outside, but know for future visits that early is the way to go.“

“We stopped here for dinner and had all around great meals. We had burgers and chicken fingers at our table and they were all good. I had the maple cheddar bacon burger and was not disappointed. The house made chips were really good too. The parking is a little tricky buy manageable. The best part of our dinner was the very friendly and accommodating waitress. She was very friendly and had a great personality for serving people. I'd definitely go and eat here again if we go back to BurlingtonParking: Parking on the side of the building“

“Can’t speak highly enough of this place. The energy, the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff and the taste of the food. I’ve had several meals here, hot sandwiches, soups, and the buffet. I’ve yet to have anything less than stellar. My only regret is not discovering this place sooner. An absolute gem.“

“Small place with high quality, interesting meals which also serves dine in and take out pizza. Service is welcoming and efficient. Prices are reasonable. Nice wine list. Spring menu included scallops with spinach prosciutto risotto - which was very good. Reliably good food.Parking: Restaurant is located in a commercial area with plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Small play area at back of dining roomWheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is at street level, sidewalks are wheelchair friendly“

“Called them to check if they could serve us lunch around 2.30PM on a Sunday afternoon whilst returning from Canada.They readily agreed, but cautioned us some items wouldn't be available.We were warmly welcomed, though we were the only customers at that hour. We ordered aloo paratha, plain parathas, chicken Tikka masala, dal makhni, and goat curry which were served with rice.The food was delicious and a welcome intake for 5 hungry adults and 2 child.The dal makhni wasn't as good as the rest - and hence the 4 *.The manager did his very best to make us comfortable, and serve us beyond his normal dining hours. 5* to him for service with a smile.Sadly, this place is not near our home - we've made a note to enjoy their food and service if we are headed in the vicinity of the wonderful place“

“I didn't actually have food here, but I called them, and they were so nice and sweet, and even when I ask them questions that weren't specifically related to their restaurant or their food, they didn't hang up and they didn't question me. And then after I was finished, they asked me if I had anything else to say. I would rate this a 10 out of 10 experience. I've never called an establishment with nicer staff before.“

“Lovely little place. A little more upscale but not overly fancy. Was the perfect place for my partners grad dinner. Had fantastic veggie options for her and a wonderful wine selection. I'm partially deaf and could hear her perfectly without my aid. waitress was fantastic and food was yummy.“

“Okay, so it's not the fanciest Indian food restaurant in Burlington and it's probably not the best, but for the price and the quality at that price, it is the perfect late night feast or perfect take out and perfect place to get your Indian food fix. Keep your expectations in check, but definitely try it.“

“I love this place so much. I have been a patriot since it was at its small shop. What I love about it is that the customer service is always wonderfully friendly. it feels like I'm walking into their home to eat their mom's home cooking. I have traveled around and tried pho soup to assess which one is the best. I have gone to Florida Virginia all around the East Coast and hands down their pho soup is the best of the best! I even brought my sister with confidence and she's never tried Vietnamese food before and she had her mind alone. her and her daughter are quite the foodies themselves and they were pleasantly and wonderfully surprised. they said this is the best they ever had!“

“Very recommend !!!!!!I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The burger I ordered was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted—fresh, juicy meat paired with homemade sauces that were absolutely delightful. Even my child ordered the burger twice because it was that good! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning for more.“

“Jameson burger on special was phenomenal! Hailey was absolutely the sweetest!! She was kind and personable and gave me a good recommendation. I wasn’t made to feel weird being a solo diner at the bar so it was nice to feel comfortable while dining. I will be back for sure! Cheers!!“

“Great spot for a beer and something to eat. Travelling from overseas. Found this place. Beer is great and the pizza next door that is delivered to you at your table tops of the experience. How breweries should be. Good beer and food to match.“

“We ordered two pizzas for delivery to a local hotel in Colchester, ME this past week. Both were delicious. One pie needed to be gluten free. That was a Pizza a la Vodka and it was awesome!!!! Tender chicken chunks, spinach was tender, and the cheese was fantastic. The GF crust was tender...it can be really inedible sometimes. The order came promptly. The cost really reasonable. I wish there was a Three Brothers down here in my patch of Virginia.“

“I’ve ate at Bleu a handful of times and have always had a great meal! I really like their burger, lobster roll, and oysters when they’re on special. The salads are all delicious and the view of Lake Champlain is beautiful. I usually choose Bleu over the neighboring Juniper and Hen of the Wood.“

“Had the best experience last night at Juniper Bar and Restaurant! Our server Kalani was the best, immediately kind and friendly. The atmosphere was great, drinks were the best we ever had, and the food was delicious. Fully recommend dining here!“

“I tried this place when I first arrived in Vermont a couple of years ago and thought it was OK, nothing special. I just went back a couple of weeks ago and I am still thinking about the pineapple fried rice. I was very happy with the flavor and service. Got there early and still had to wait for a seat, but once seated the food came quick, hot, and good. Going to put this on my take out list...in fact, might order it tonight.Parking: You might struggle to get a spot. Street parking means a bit of a walk.“
