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.“

“We had a hard time settling on what to order with so many great options! The chef gave his recommendations and prepared our sandwiches quickly. The bunny-less balls are a must-try. Fiesta wrap and No Harm No Foul were both top notch! The wrap was a great "healthier" option with lots of veggies and grilled tofu - consider asking to go light on the Chipotle mayo if you're looking for a healthier option.“

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

“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!“

“Thanks Rodney P for a great dining experience!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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🍄“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Pros: Bagels taste great, service was quick, staff was nice. I also found the price to be on the cheap side which offsets the biggest con-

Cons: the bagels are definitely small. Also, no cheese bagel option. This is Wisconsin- I feel like offering a cheese bagel should be required.“

“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“

“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“

“always solid pizza, great crust!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🤌😍👌“

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

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

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

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“wow, this place was awesome!! had the spicy chicken pita sandwich and i was disappointed when I finished it, because I wanted more. Great little place to eat! glad we stopped in!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I love Forage Kitchen!
I feel good about choosing a place that has quality, fresh ingredients, and it tastes SO GOOD.

The portions are generous, and they are always friendly and prompt.

My favorite is the Fiesta Bowl with Chicken.

And GET THE SOURDOUGH!“

“Great food and service! Very friendly atmosphere.“
