50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Madison

“Delicious menu options. Perfect portion size for tasting all courses.“

“My husband and I ate here for our fifth year wedding anniversary. It was absolutely perfect. We sat at the bar which gave us an amazing view of the kitchen. The service was impeccable. The food and drinks were sublime. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in Madison. We will definitely return!“

“Classic must try pizzeria. Absolutely delicious, they come up with great pie ideas and they are ALL hits. Their service is impeccable and their excellent cocktails give the experience the cherry on top . To add to that the prices are super reasonable. Great atmosphere, can't recommend this enough. It's become a go to return spot over the years, wether I go for a nice dinner with my partner, or getting "fancy" pizza and drinks with friends, this is the place to go.“

“Hearty farm to table food at a reasonable price. Great tavern atmosphere that got loud and lively after 7pm. While the menu is tilted towards pork and charcuterie there are plenty of vegetarian options. Menu was very seasonal, so we
Loved that.

Portions were huge, in my opinion, for the price. (Compared to hometown Portland, ME)
We split the bouillabaisse and a salad and it still seemed like the portions were large. Big wine list. Did not try cocktails but they looked creative and colorful. This spot will certainly be on the list when we return to Madison.“

“My ex boyfriend took me here for my birthday once and I fell in love with it. The king salmon and the chocolate babka are amazing! 10/10“

“Great experience…everything from the ambiance to the waitstaff to the drinks, appetizers, entree, desserts and coffee were amazing!“

“Our waitress was really friendly and nice. She gave us recommendations and told us about the restaurant history.“

“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.“

“The food here, the pizza specifically, is excellent. The service, looks like it varies due to the servers personal perception of your party. She dotes on young people, seems to ignore older couples, maybe cuz she is young. Saves on the tip money though. I would stop again if I found myself in Madison just for the pizza. Might get it to go and save her from being bothered to wait on us.“

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

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

“Decided off the cuff to go in and grab dinner as we were walking by. Did not disappoint one bit. Great cozy and intimate spot. Had the Mad Rabbit Burger and Buffalo Chikin Sando, both with fries. 100% Vegetarian and 100% tasty. So good and will definitely be returning to try their loaded fries (cashewsauce was amazing on the burger). My only thing I’d want is pickles just because of everything else they do is tasty, I bet they’d make great pickles for the burgers and chicken sandos.

*When we went in we didn’t know if it was 100% veg or not, but were happy to “risk” it because I was craving a burger. Have had plenty of not great veg burgers and this truly has set the bar high from here on out.

Cost: very reasonable“

“Thanks Rodney P for a great dining experience!“

“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🍄“

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

“Been going for years and now take my toddler once a week. I love walking in, everyone knowing us, sometimes getting our regular table (if we're early enough) and chatting with some of the other regulars. Prices are great, you get a ton of food and the staff is always friendly. Extra bonus they open early for my early riser toddler!!“

“Great friendly staff in an awesome atmosphere to enjoy any games. great food as well.“

“Great little spot for breakfast. I ordered the BLT w/ECO (egg, cheese and onion) and it was delish. My fiancée had the Denver Omelet and was tasty as well.“

“it was our first time here..Food was delicious..we had the fried pickles as an appitizer...my husband had the ahi tuna salad and I ordered the shrimp..you can pick to have your shrimp different ways..I went with the scampi style and breaded..I loved how light the breading was..delicious..and every dinner comes with a choice of two sides..definitely worth the money..“

“The Globe is one of my go-to, favorite restaurants here in Madison. I highly recommend their Chili Buff and Korean BBQ with Rice (I've heard the Korean BBQ Noodles are awesome as well). I've had their vegetarian and chicken variations, and both have been flavorful, well-cooked (the chicken is very good and doesn't have chewy or "ick" textures). They're also very helpful with allergy restrictions, including peanut allergies. Additionally, they have extensive vegetarian options and alternatives for their menu items. If you haven't gone here before (delivery, carry-out, and/or in-person dining) I'd definitely recommend trying their dishes!“

“First time visiting Paul’s and it was fantastic! We were a bit hesitant about what we were getting and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We ordered at the small food counter and then found ourselves a table in the bar area. We ordered their two cocktails and the bartender made them perfectly. A yummy meal that we will definitely eat again!“

“So wonderful! The GF/DF baked goods are out of this world delicious!! They are careful with cross-contamination, I've not gotten sick. And the staff is SO welcoming, patient and kind. I make a point to stop in when I can, though I live over an hour away. You won't be disappointed!“

“You can choose the unlimited refill option or order individually. If you choose unlimited refills, you can order sushi, sashimi, rolls, etc. until you are full. The sushi and sashimi aren't very large, but the taste is good. Recommended for anyone who can eat a lot. The service was also friendly.

I ordered hibachi and ramen separately for lunch and it was great value for money. Contrary to my concerns, Hibachi was able to eat a generous amount of fairly tender beef. The ramen was a little different from what I expected, with a spicy Nagasaki Jjamppong-like taste, but I enjoyed it in its own way. Considering the price, I think this is pretty great.“

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

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

“Best place for quality mocktails and cocktails“

“Great chicken and love the chicha morada“

“Always have a good selection of quality beers and fine bartenders!“

“Man oh man this place is good. I wasn't surprised when I saw the boston fish market truck out front delivering. The math maths as the kids say.

I really enjoyed the king roll and the teriyaki shrimp. 10/10 will definitely be back.“

“Don't want to write a book about how fantastic our visit was, so I'll just say it's in my top 5 restaurants right now! Everything I've ever heard about how good this place is to eat at is true! :)

Dietary restrictions: They had turkey bacon & other healthy alternatives.“

“Just had the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. An almond croissant that was flaky on the outside and filling that was heavenly.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Cute and cozy café! The fries were extra crispy, so they didn't get soggy from the chili which was really nice. The philly cheese steak was okay -- a little dry, but still good and I combined it with the leftover chili to make up for the dryness. The fruit was super good and cut up in smaller pieces. The pancakes were really sweet and yummy too. Overall, decent food, good price, and a nice atmosphere. Will definitely come again! :)“

“We had a great time. The staff was amazing and the food was was great! The machetes are awesome and the drinks .. we tried the cantaritos and we love them. Thanks for an amazing night“

“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!“

“This is one of our favorite places in Madison. Every single time, the food is delicious, the staff is full of smiles and always willing to go above and beyond. 10 Out of 10 recommended.“

“Amazing customer service from Claudia. She was very responsive, helpful and creative in getting our vision for our wedding perfectly. We had very delicious and generous portions for the tres leches cake tasting that was set up! It was so moist and sweet, just how I like it. We ended up doing a variety of oreo, strawberry, and vanilla tres leches, along with Mexican wedding cookies and brownies, which were a highlight of our wedding day. The communication was great, we didn't worry about delivery or even knew they had arrived to deliver the desserts! It all just appeared at the venue, looking better than I had imagined. Choosing Monona Bakery and working with Claudia was the best choice that we will always remember! (Photos taken by Picture It Perfect by Maddie&Josh Laufenberg)“

“Great drinks and oysters. The bartender was friendly and made a nice recommendation for a variety of oysters!“

“This place is such a hidden little gem. The food is always fantastic, the folks working there are always amazing. There is usually a wait so expect it, it will be worth it. You nuke me every single time with the medium spice level and I love it.“

“This place is truly unbelievable. Not only are you getting the most high-quality product around for an extremely reasonable price, it is the place where friendships are formed, loved ones can enjoy great food together, and most importantly—where memories are made. I proposed to my girlfriend here after a mutual love of the establishment helped us bond together in the early days of our relationship. Oh, and make sure to get 2.“

“Marigold Kitchen is always on point. The customer service, quality of the food, and cleanliness of the interior is unmatched. Highly recommend!“

“wow. some of the best pho i’ve ever had. the broth is insanely flavorful and the beef steak is super good quality and tender. the staff is also super nice and quick! i got my pho within 3 minutes of ordering!! this is my new favorite spot!“

“I wanted to say I’ve always been looking for a Middle Eastern restaurant for a while in Madison, I found this place by coincidence and after trying it out I have to say it was top notch! The service and the speed, the quantity and quality, the hospitality and everything was just VIP, Irene the owner was very very professional and friendly, I felt like we were regular customers even though it was our first time, she also gave us a few free tasters and a meal for the baby, everything was incredible and great fresh food with great prices, we also went to the Fitchburg branch it was beautiful, best service as well, the bathroom was very very clean and the decor of the whole place specially the bathroom was awesome and very clean, I was so impressed“

“I absolutely love this place! Their mushroom paneer momo with red jhol soup is my favorite fish. So are their bhajiyas. We always get them when we go there. It’s always peaceful and quiet here. Lots of vegetarian options. The ambience is great. Also…great location!!“

“Very Good food and very nice outdoor“

“Badger Tavern has really stepped up its game under the new ownership. Clay has perhaps the best work ethic I’ve ever witnessed. The food is consistently excellent, and you’re guaranteed a good time every time. The staff is stellar too, fun, friendly, and hardworking. Badger Tavern is now my go-to place for a ‘sure thing’! 5 Stars“

“Great place to go and eat. The food is amazing and the the staff are awesome!“

“Excelente !!!💕🌷recomendado !!“
