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“

“Thanks Rodney P for a great dining experience!“

“JustVeggiez 100% Vegan is just plain one of the best restaurants in Madison. Burgers, pizza, wraps, lasagna, big salads, teriyaki, burritos and tacos, GF options...the menu is large and so varied. Plus they have acai bowls, desserts, milkshakes, ice cream and cookies! There's a gorgeous big counter complete with video screens, or table seating where you can people watch on State Street, and the orange and green walls and artwork give a fun vibe. You can even order weekly meal plans for home delivery, and they do catering, too. Alcohol license is in the works, for those interested in that, and they will have outdoor seating starting in the spring. I personally love the Strawberry Walnut Salad, the Lo Mein, the Reuben sandwich, and the BBQ Tofu Wrap, not to mention the vegan cheese curds and the roasted potatoes side dish.“

“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.“

“Great pizza and nice ambiance as usual. What made our evening even better were the warm smile and friendly personality of our waitress Mel! She nicely engaged in joking conversation, went above and beyond to accommodate our special request, and frequently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Outstanding food and service — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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🍄“

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

“Really exceptional bowl of chirashi. You have to look a bit to find this on their menu but it's there...just a bit buried. That's not really a surprise as I consider chirashi to be the hidden secret on a quality sushi places' menu. No exception this time!

Everything was nice and fresh plus the assortment was great! I enjoyed being able to note the differences between 3 different varieties of tuna. I really enjoyed the pairing of the salmon roe with the snapper and found the salmon to be melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Seared albacore was really tasty as well. Best bite of the night? The big eye tuna. I generally prefer bluefin but had both side-by-side and enjoyed the big eye piece more.

Rice under the lettuce threw me a little but I guess that was the chef's attempt to segment the dish a bit. I tossed the lettuce aside and enjoyed the balance of the dish, including the assortment of vegetables as well.

Chirashi is a great way to go if you're really just interested in the fish. The tables around me were heavily laden with trays and platters full of rolls that just oozed ingredients all over. I'm a bit more of a purist and really enjoyed the chirashi but I would guess their rolls are pretty fantastic as well, if that's your thing.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“My wife & I are vegan so we’re always looking for new places to try. We decided to order some food for pick up & they DID NOT disappoint! Their loaded fries are now one of my favorites & I can’t wait to go back again!“

“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!“

“Great chicken and love the chicha morada“

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

“Amazing momo! Dining room is cozy & seated our group of 5. Eleanor was an amazing server on her 3rd day in food service. Every dish/drink was delicious & had great spice level. Definitely get the momo extra spicy pan-fried - flavor bombs! Best masala chai I've ever had. Great environment for family style & sharing. Bountiful vegan options (see below). Will definitely be returning for the momo alone. Finish your meal with the gulab jamun, you won't regret it. Thanks for a great Tibetan meal!

Dishes ordered: vegan samosas, vegetarian phing-allah, vegan extra spicy pan-fried tofu momo, vegan green jhol veggie momo, vegetarian ema datshi mushroom paneer momo, vegetarian veggie paneer curry, lamb curry, & gulab jamun

Drinks ordered: mango lassi & hot masala chai“

“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.“

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

“Finally stopped in after watching people rave about them online for almost a year. I ordered a chocolate orange croissant thing and let me tell you when I say that thing blew my mind like wow. I knew it was good from people raving about it but I was so impressed dropped the last bite on the floor and about died I was so sad 😅 the lovely lady also gave me a free shortie I was eyein up 10/10 recommend so good I will be back“

“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 🧋 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Staff was really kind and attentive to all the customers and I loved seeing them have genuine conversations with customers.
The hot apple cider was also really hot so it kept me warm in the negative degree weather. The apple cider does taste like every single other apple cider and doesn't taste unique and not to mention it being 7 bucks. I guess the price was worth the work the staff put in though.
Would definitely recommend!“

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

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

“The Tom Yum is amazing AF“

“Small town feel in the big city. Super friendly atmosphere. The owner was so nice. The owner said he makes the andouille with his son, which also won us over! This place is a Gem!!! We will stop everytime we are in that area for sure!!!“

“cozy lil spot, authentically 💯 delicious! Great prices, fast, friendly service-You will not be disappointed if you are looking for the real deal.“

“The food here was not only amazing but also had generous portion sizes! Not just that, when I went there seemed to only have one employee working who I assumed to be the owner and despite juggling taking orders and preparing food he still made time to get us waters and check in with us. If ever in the Madison area I highly recommend a stop!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Needed someplace to eat while waiting for my wedding to happen in Madison. Settle down was close by I walked there. I was not disappointed, the special which was I think all the chicken butter burger was phasing and the soup was as well. Reasonable price Add to my places to eat when in town list“

“I love this cute little shop! The Breakfast Burrito was soooo good and the Oreo Dream homemade ice cream in a waffle cone was scrumptious 😋 The staff was friendly, engaging and the music was fun! I will definitely be back!“

“Loved our breakfast here. The sourdough is soooo good that we ordered a whole loaf to bring back to Chicago after our breakfast. The outdoor seating is really nice and very dog friendly. The lady who brought our food to our table also offered treats to our beagles. Would definitely come back when we are in town next time.“
