50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Waunakee

“The best Mexican food around!!“

“Awesome first visit and definitely not the last“

“I had my bridal shower at Drumlin Ridge and it was the perfect experience! The team was extremely prompt with replies and went over and beyond to help make it a great day, they even helped us put together a custom wine pairing for the event as our theme was “the perfect pair”. We had 25 guests which was a perfect fit for the room, but there was space for overflow. I really appreciated that there wasn’t a room rental and they were flexible with carrying in food, keeping it affordable for a shower! We had it on a Saturday at noon for about 2 hours with 1 hour of set up. Gorgeous venue and tasty wine as well!“

“I’m so thankful I discovered Zoe’s! It’s like having Ian’s pizza but with way better crust. 🤣❤️ I get my nails done in Waunakee and my nail girl told me about this place. Bet I come here every time I get my nails done! Today I had their special - chorizo - and when I say it was BOMB I mean it!!! This pizza is so dang good, and every flavor I try has been consistently delicious. 🍕 😍 lunch prices are amazing too! I highly recommend giving this place a try even just for a slice.“

“I love this place. I was so excited when family moved to Waunakee and to find a “brand new” microbrewery in 2017. The beers are all good (IMHO). One of my favorite IPAs of all time is the Off The Rails IPA. The food is great. I love their deep fried cheese curds. The sandwiches are all good too.“

“Cool place; love the logo .. brisket tacos were good“

“My experience was amazing from start to finish. I reached out in early December 2024. The date I wanted was available and after putting down a deposit, I just had to wait to pick out the food and give my final count 3 weeks before. I have to say, I have never had such a seamless, pleasant planning experience! The room was everything that we had hoped it would be! The food was absolutely phenomenal! Kerry, Rose and Nick were extremely accommodating! I couldn’t be more pleased! Please consider The Landing for your next event. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Good food and service, with a legit "old-fashioned" soup and salad bar that is the best around. My go to is Scallops, but everything is good.“

“I got the banh mi, and it was delicious. The tofu in it was really nicely prepared — it had a great chew and beautiful golden sear. The mushroom pate was also great! I got the fries with it, and those were delicious and perfectly salted. And it was a great amount of food, especially for the price! The staff I encountered were also so very friendly and super helpful. I’d come here all the time if I lived here. There’s so much variety on the menu too!“

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

“Thanks Rodney P for a great dining experience!“

“Best restaurant in Madison! Exceptional quality, service and environment. You order the entire meal at the start and the pacing does not disappoint! Highly recommend a bar seat where you can see all the action in the kitchen. A bar seat bonus is that your bartender/server, Nina, is absolutely fantastic!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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🍄“

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

“Their tandoori parata is so good... get it crispy.. mattar paneer malai kofta butter chicken tandoori chicken .....all these are our favorites“

“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.“

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

“I love this place, I love to sit at the counter when I go Ogdens for breakfast. As a person who loves engaging in conversation with others, I take great joy in striking up a conversation with a total stranger, and only to discover we’re not strangers, we are friends who have met for the first time. The staff are amazing, super attentive and kind. Oh and the food, that’s amazing too. Ogdens, a neighborhood Gem on the near north side.“

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

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

“Good food and great service. What’s not to like?“

“always solid pizza, great crust!“

“Y'all.…. this place is out of this world!! Everything from the wine, appetizers, entrée desserts and coffee are just phenomenal!! Do not pass this place up! I love the line of this chef… The way the music goes, that’s the we dance! And that’s exactly what this place is all about. Everyone loves this place! Tony Bennet and famous athletes from all over - including Reggie Bush!“

“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“

“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 phenomenal, my family and I were very pleased! We tried the catfish appetizers, as well as the cheesecurds and fried pickles….all delicious!! Brisket was absolutely delicious as well as the pulled pork! We will definitely be back when we’re in Madison! Our fave place now“

“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!!“

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

“Went for the 1st time today—amazing food and service! Will definitely be back. The brisket was perfectly done.“

“Amazingly fresh seafood and beautifully done steaks with equally great side dishes, large enough to share! Go early and take advantage of their fabulous happy hour drinks and apps. Always a good time and a local favorite. Top notch service as well. Recommend for a night out, date night or special occasion.“

“Great chicken and love the chicha morada“

“I want to give a shout-out to Monona Bakery & Eatery 😄 I've ordered their food a lot via delivery apps, but never went inside. My friend Robin & I stopped in on Saturday! I've been on crutches 6 weeks, and they were VERY accommodating 😊 All the staff were amazing, and their food is SO good 🤤 I highly recommended checking them out! As someone who bakes quite a bit, I must say their bakery is 🤌😍👌“

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

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

“Thank you Lily and Tip Top for hosting some weary travelers with amazing food and a dog friendly patio. We had the best food, and the patio was like an oasis, beautiful!“

“This place has consistently great food and attentive service! The outdoor patio is a nice place for people watching as well. Stop in and try a "machete!"“

“We held a birthday party at State Line Distillery on short notice due to weather concerns with the outdoor venue that was planned. They were exceptionally welcoming and extremely accommodating. So many guests commented on what a great space State Line offers—both inside and outside. Not to mention the delicious high-quality drinks and friendly, helpful staff. High praise and top recommendations for this local gem. 💜“

“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.“

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

“Restaurant that offers a variety of Middle Eastern dishes. Their Yellow Split Pea soup is absolutely incredible- a wonderful blend of savory spices! The Lamb Couscous was tender but was rather bland.

The service is great; the servers are attentive and make sure you have pita.

There is plenty of free parking in the free parking lot.“

“Delicious! I'm so glad I tried this place. Amazing flavor, gluten free choices, healthy, and SO yummy!!!“

“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.“

“Good stuff. Worth stopping in for sure!“

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

“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!“

“Incredible value, friendly wait staff, great food! This is always my go to for ayce sushi, teriyaki, and hibachi.

The atmosphere is fine, but that's not this place's charm. The food is good enough to make the vibe unimportant anyway.

Literally all I would ask for is for the menu sheet to have room to clearly write multiple rounds.“
