50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Madison

“Food was great. They were so friendly. We are looking forward to the next time we are in town so we can try some more of the menu“

“I ordered takeout today for dinner tonight and everything I had was delicious! I ordered the Shrimp Poboy with Mac-n-Cheese, Carolina Reaper Drummies, and Cheese Curds. I of course had to have a bite of everything before driving home and ended up putting it in the trunk so that I wouldn't eat it all on the way. Everything I had was very flavorful and drummies were excellently spicy! Even though it was 5 hours ago now, I have to say I think everything traveled well and was just as tasty as my first bites. The menu is big with a lot of options for every kind of eater. My only regret is not getting more! I can't wait to go back and try the Reuben and Gyro!! 10/10 Highly Recommend!“

“Thanks Rodney P for a great dining experience!“

“We had heard good things about Lallande and we were not disappointed. We ate at the bar which I would highly recommend. Our server was Nina and she made the evening fun. I had the salmon and my husband had the lamb chops. Generous portions and absolutely delicious. We also had the chicken pate which was so good. But the highlight for us was the carrot tarte. A must have, if you go.The owner Ann Marie was working in the kitchen keeping all the balls in the air, but she took time to visit with us and made us feel extra welcome. Do yourself a favor and dine at Lallande on Monroe St. Perhaps we'll see you there because we'll be back! Five stars.“

“Always amazing here. Food , atmosphere, staff, and great cocktails to boot.“

“We love all Sal's locations. The downtown space was perfect for our group of hungry parents between shuttling our kids to homecoming events. The food was delicious as always, and the staff was fantastic and welcoming. Thanks so much for great hospitality!“

“Dined here for lunch today and loved the vegan options! Menu is clearly marked so we didn’t have to modify anything, which was highly refreshing. Shout out to Living on the Veg sushi set and the crunch salad, both solid choices. Bright and welcoming interior, with equally welcoming staff! We will be back again and again. Take no shiitake🍄“

“Had a great dinner on a Saturday night. Dined at a late seating and staff was very friendly and welcoming. Dishes were great, the deviled eggs were a great starter for our table and the entrees were big portions with a lot going on (on a good way). The farm to table and seasonal ingredients really accompanied the main proteins. I had schnitzel which was great. Others had the massive ribeye for 2 and boullabaisse and everyone enjoyed their meals.
Would done here again next time we visit Madison.“

“Had a business trip in Madison, WI this week. The restaurant is close by so we reserved the seats here. Gosh, it certainly didn’t disappoint us. The sushi rolls were amazing and the sashimi was fresh and delicious. It was pleasant to dine outdoors there and the service was excellent too. Great food to try!“

“We were in town for a concert and stopped here on our way back home. The food and service were top notch! Very fresh tasting food and amazing coffee!! It was a happy accident we ended here from a random apple map search. So glad we stumbled upon them!“

“Service during happy hour was perfect. Loved Kate❤️“

“Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and very nice staff.“

“I’ve been here about10x and have never been disappointed . Lots of yummy veganized options of classic meaty items“

“My partner and I were by Batch Bakehouse yesterday and are new to the area, so decided to stop in. It was the end of the day, so immediately the employees were apologetic about the "limited amount of items available". There were PLENTY of items available and every one of them was absolutely delicious. We were able to try their butterscotch chocolate chip bars, salted caramel brownies, and two of their cupcake flavors. We are typically not dessert people, but absolutely cannot wait to return, due to the unparalleled baked goods and the exceptional customer service! I wish I had gotten the names of the people who helped us, so whoever was there at 1 PM yesterday thank you!!“

“Absolutely amazing food. I almost cried from the flavor bringing me back to my childhood. Brought our leftovers home and I think they got even better. We will definitely be back.“

“First time Celiac visiting and oh my gosh.... best gf bakery I've had and there isn't a worry that I will get sick because it's a dedicated gf facility! Staff was super friendly and if it's your first visit, you even get a free sample of their fab chocolate. Will definitely be back!“

“The best sandwiches I’ve found in madison. Chill atmosphere, incredible food. Probably the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. All I wanted today was a sandwich and couldn’t have prepared for the absolute beauty that was placed in front of me, quite quickly I might add. Check this place out or you’re absolutely missing out!“

“Great chicken and love the chicha morada“

“We had Greenbush Bakery Doughnuts for dessert at our wedding and they were such a hit! 10/10 recommend. Amazing service, delicious & beautiful doughnuts! Such a fun treat that everyone raved about!“

“This is an amazing place to try! I have been coming here and bring guest to try all the time. I recommend Phing alla ( savory crepe), any thaali (rice platter; also very fun to eat) and mango lassi! Any of the momo. I like veg momo with green jhol. Their stir-fry noodle is made in-house so you cannot go wrong with that. Also best drink to drink with momo or stir-fry is cold Coco-cola!“

“Muy buena comida muy acogedor ambiente muy tranquilo me encanta,“

“Very creamy, rich, and good ice cream. Lots of flavors with cool names and reasonable prices. My favorite in the whole world was Mint Chocolate Ribbon which is discontinued. It is SO much better than mint chocolate chip which was still good. Please bring it back!“

“This cafe has many delicious options for food. It however does not have celiac safe options. The cross contamination is too high. They do note this if you call them by stating that they can't guarantee there isn't. But I would not eat here if you have celiacs because I did twice and it made me incredibly sick. Again the food in my opinion is delicious, it just isn't celiacs safe.“

“Everything was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. Flavors were well balanced, ingredients were fresh. Will definitely go back.“

“I wish I had taken this photos of the food before I dug in. Delicious chilequiles, and even better ranchos huervos. The food is extremely fresh and flavorful. It's a unique take on something I've seen in every form, but they get it right with little surprises in every bite. Do yourself a favor and get the orange juice. The fresh sweetness really helps stabilize the slight spice and heaviness of the food.“

“Highly recommend!!! Great place!!! Very beautiful ambience 🤩 so awesome I’d recommend everything as they have a lovely menu with delicious foods and beverages especially love their Boba 🧋 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Our waiter was very polite, kind, and prompt. The food was a cut way above a typical ethnic food restaurant. Very unique as well as delicious choices. Definitely ranks at the top of my list of places to dine. Five stars!“

“One of my favorite foods is pastys, I was excited to learn about this place, otherwise you would find them normal in the u.p area of Wisconsin. All of the varieties are great! Had the chicken tikka masala one today, was awesome! I do like they wrap it in foil, because my 40min drive home it's still warm!“

“Adorable place with delicious food! My husband born and raised Texas, who loves his meat and is skeptical of anything vegan , actually asked to come back to this place because it was so good.

There was only one guy working and he was kind and trying his absolute best with a lunch rush. There was so much flavor in both the tacos and the burrito. We will definitely be back.“

“Fantastic authentic Korean food, and super nice folks. I go there every time I visit Madison.“

“Good stuff. Worth stopping in for sure!“

“my favorite place in Madison. service is always so friendly. I loved this place even when they were at the old location. I am so happy they have been so popular and recognized in the new location; they absolutely deserve it.“

“everything was amazing. the spices, the flavors, and the iced coffee... next level. it will not disappoint.“

“Long time favorite that never disappoints! My go to menu items are the Nachos Mexicana and Enchiladas Verdes… yum!“

“Love the charming European Grand Cafe vibes. An abundance of outdoor seating is available. Our server was very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks and food. One of the smoothest bloodys I have had. Food was absolutely delicious! What a great spot for brunch and enjoying a view of Madison.“

“I had a great experience at Poke It Up! The poke bowls were fresh, flavorful, and customizable with a variety of toppings and sauces. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the ordering process smooth. The restaurant has a clean and casual atmosphere, perfect for a quick and healthy meal. Highly recommend if you’re in Madison and craving poke!“

“I hired Beef Butter BBQ for my wedding and they did a FABULOUS job. The food was to die for, the employees extremely helpful and kind, and I could not be happier!“

“I had the lunch enchiladas and they were the best I’ve had in a while! True authentic Mexican flavor and style!“

“Just kept saying how delicious it was the entire time I was eating. I got the pesto sandwich and they were super friendly and easily accommodated my dietary restrictions (no dairy/vegetarian) without any issues. The pesto is delicious and the sandwich wasn’t too heavy, perfect way to start off the day!“

“After 29 years of living near Madison, we finally went for dinner last night. Everything was delicious- mocktail, bruschetta, both pasta dishes (mushroom truffle & sausage rigatoni), as well as the light, fluffy desserts (butterscotch pudding & cheesecake with rhubarb/strawberry compote). Super happy our waiter, James, sent us home with an extra baguette & recommended making French toast - which we did today! We’ll be back with friends and recommending to others!“

“The Tom Yum is amazing AF“

“Vegan option was yummy! Thanks for the labels! Will be back“

“Good drinks menu but the food was so-so. Flavors unremarkable. No information on the menu for those who are lactose or gluten intolerant which is easy to flag on menus these days. And the random delivery of small plates, which was to be expected, could have been a little bit more even for our table of four. And worth letting us know, when we order, which dishes might take quite a bit longer to prepare and deliver. Nice ambiance and good lighting. 3/5.“

“Friendly neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is robust; the atmosphere is mellow. The back patio is a quiet, relaxing hideaway.“

“Pretty decent spot for an intro to some Vietnamese dishes.

Sometimes the Pho can be the best in town. Sometimes it's not as great.

The owner/family that run and service the restaurant are fantastic. Always a pleasure to interact with and they take their business seriously. Other servers are just okay, nothing to complain about really.

Wish the place had a bit more space, because it can get busy at certain times.“

“We were visiting Madison for a business trip. Kelly at Morgan's shoes suggested we go here for oysters. We had the most amazing dinner, oysters on the half shell and wrapped it up with an unbelievably good coffee and date ice cream 😋 Our experience was so good we decided to go back a second night! Oysters and dinner were fantastic! Too full for dessert Such a beautiful location, great service and delicious food. Highly recommend 👌“

“Always amazing salads and great service too. Love to eat here when I am in town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“They have very good food but the staff makes peanuts and is hungry for tips. I usually try to tip 20-25%. However one time when I got the bill it was way more than I had expected and I didn't have the funds to leave a tip. I felt really bad. To top it off I was told if I couldn’t tip better. don't come back. I instead of 2 drinks costing $13.00.(like the other businesses on the block)The bill was $21. I would have been leaving at least $5, but now I couldn’t. I feel the staff is a bunch of snooty college students, living off their rich parents dime.“

“Tiger roll, butterfish roll, these are the must try!“

“One of my favorite pizza restaurants around. Try the Macho Nacho!“
