50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Melbourne

“Celebrating my daughers early birthday with phenomenal pizza. My first visit and not my last!! Not only was our pizza delicious but our server Brittany was attentive and phenominal. She and my daughter share the same birthday!“

“We had been to the restaurant several times— unfortunately not since the pandemic kicked in. This was our first visit in a couple of years. It was amazing!! The food was great! The atmosphere was wonderful! We had Alyssa— who has the best personality!! She is one of few people who we really enjoyed talking to! Highly recommended!!“

“I rarely give five stars, but this place deserves it. The food is on point, the atmosphere is absolutely awesome, and the service is great. This is hands down the best Irish food you will find in Central Florida. When you overhear people from Ireland ?? hear on vacation saying how good the food was, you know you're in the right place.“

“I came across this restaurant by chance. I was seconds away from walking into an Asian fusion restaurant. I’m glad I did! The majority of the plates we ordered and the Riesling wine bottle were on point. There was one exception, the Heritage Pork Chop. For some reason the pork chop did not come out as tender as explained to me by Brian, our uber-professional and extremely knowledgeable server. It didn’t lack flavor per se, but it wasn’t as tender as, for instance, the one I recently had at Black Prong in Bronson, Florida.However, enough with the negativity, and let’s talk about the positives: Baked Brie. It was point blank delicious, with the creamy saltiness of the cheese balanced out by the sweet currant. In the menu it’s stated that it comes with crostinis, but mine came out with pita bread and sesame crackers. Still, it was delicious.The Sriracha Marinated Flat Iron Steak had a very strong beefy flavor with the nice tenderness you would expect from a much more expensive beef cut. Despite not being crazy about the mashed avocado-potatoes, it was still a delicious and hearty meal.Brian, again…our server, was beyond knowledgeable and professional. He explained every detail about the plates and wines as well. I or rather we, wish we could have a server like that anywhere we went to eat. Aside from being very knowledgeable, he was also very humble and attentive to details.“

“If I could review this place 10 stars, I would. I'm from Miami so ive been to nearly every brunch place. This place blows every single one out if the water. From the atmosphere, friendly staff, and food quality, I will make the trip up here just for breakfast. I had the cuban eggs Benny and it was cooked PERFECTLY. I also had a watermelon Mint mimosa that made me never want a regular mimosa again. Best thing about this place is that breakfast AND mimosas is served all day .“

“David was amazing catered my daughter gender reveal and everyone LOVED the food. I will definitely be ordering again“

“Very great experience enjoyed“

“This place is great! FRESH and cooked to order and the temp I wanted. I got the maxi because I didn’t think and it was ginormous. It could have used a tad bit more seasoning but man it was delicious!! Highly recommend“

“Just had breakfast there today and it was a great experience. The owner (Raul) greeted us at the door and welcomed us to the diner. He also followed up with us after our meal. Wendy waited our table, not only did she provide great service, she was an excellent communicator. The breakfast was cooked in a reasonable time for a Sunday morning, was delicious and priced fairly. 5 out of 5 recommend you try La Loma for breakfast some time.“

“Food was fantastic!! Never had Korean food before this. This was an amazing experience for such a quaint place. Loved it!!“

“Absolutely the best bagels ever from California to Florida... Huge but light and flaky, perfect amount of cream cheese.... And amazing endless art on the walls... And the fastest I've ever received a bagel. My daughter and I came here for the first time and we are now lifers.“

“Great little spot for sushi & Thai food! Food was ready soon after calling in to order. Highly recommend the miso soup! My sushi came along with some tempura & a spring roll. It was a nice surprise! The staff are so friendly. I'd definitely come back!“

“It’s not fast but it’s better that way, the whole meal was paced and it was delicious. I appreciate the waiter only coming over occasionally to refill drinks and take orders, didn’t really bother us just let us eat and talk, the pirogies were amazing, and the cabbage rolls (don’t want to mess up the spelling) are amazing, the stroganoff was fantastic. Everything was great really was a great experience.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Amazing food and a nice outside patio to eat and enjoy. I get the truffle fries and they are so good. I also had the fried flounder sandwich and it was delicious. Friendly staff and good prices. Highly recommend.“

“Fantastic British fare, affordable, and a great neighborhood pub!“

“What a cool brewery in the heart of Melbourne, FL. Hubby and I always enjoy supporting small businesses and we were happy to check this one out. Hubby enjoyed the IPA beer options so much here that he was able to order them while dining out. The staff was nice and the locals indulged us in conversation at the bar area - reminiscing about the good ol Florida gator sports days. Always nice to meet fellow alum. They also distribute quite a bit around the state...they're that delish! Check em out! We also ended up buying some merchandise. Great logo!“

“To date the best Italian hoagie I have had! Fresh sliced meat, the veggies were fresh and crisp. Staff was attentive and you could tell they cared about their business! Very clean dining area also!“

“We ordered my sons birthday cupcakes from Eatz Suntree and they were made gluten free special order! They were amazing and everyone loved them! Can’t recommend them more!“

“The moussaka and spanakopita were delicious! So glad we got to eat here. The gyros were also delicious. Don’t miss out if you’re in the area.“

“I am a snowbird from PA. When my husband was alive we enjoyed your restaurant sitting having drinks and dinner with several friends and family. I was in your establishment in Feb. On a Friday evening waited over 2 hours to be seated. I was told an hour plus I am a diabetic and started to not feel well. Once seated we were sat at a tall table for 8. The pipes above one of my guests had water dripping on her and her food. Since we ate there numerous times we also were disappointed in food we were served. It was a special day celebrating my daughter's 25th anniversary. Needless to say we will not be returning.“

“First time there, had breakfast, was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I'm a huge fan of grits and afraid to order, tried theirs grits and they are AMAZING. Very friendly staff and environment. Definitely coming back !!“

“great! loved my cheesy broccoli soup and grilled cheese sandwich. BF had Same soup and BLT and loved it. Will be back again! 100x better than any Panera.“

“The Lemon Pepoer Chicken was really good. The chicken satay was very flavorful. The sweet and sour chicken was not good in my opinion. That being said, I don't think that means the chicken is not good. I think it is a healthier and cleaner version than what I am use to. I am accustomed to the sugary sweet chicken I normally get from fast food restaurants. I would order from Chez Quan again. It's a quality restaurant.“

“Tely's is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Melbourne/Suntree. The food is fresh, flavorful and we are never disappointed no matter what we order. Some of our top dishes are: the eggplant casserole, the curried shrimp, the hot and sour soup and the pork fried rice. The service is always top notch too, we highly recommend dining there!“

“This is absolutely our favorite restaurant in town. The whole team always goes above and beyond. Service and food are always amazing.“

“Fantastic lunch specials! I thoroughly enjoyed my Panang Curry dish with chicken and lots of vegetables! The restaurant is small, quaint and has been here for a long, long time. Included with the lunch special is a cup of their soup of the day, and a spring roll. All of this for $9.95 plus tax!Vegetarian options: So many ways to combine vegetables with sauces, and Rice or Noodles.“

“Best breakfast place around, everyone is always friendly especially Tim he makes you feel like your home. Blueberry pancakes, sausage and bacon are delicious, will definitely go back.“

“The spinach pie and Greek salad were spectacular! The two-dollar slice of baklava was one of the best I've ever had! The service is always fast and friendly! I love this locally owned place!Vegetarian options: Greek salad, veggie wraps, cheese pizza, spinach pie“

“We had a great time. Great beer and food. Bartenders were awesome. Everyone was very friendly. The game room was a perfect spot for a party. They are kid friendly too.“

“I hadn't ever heard of Slices. I ordered on a whim from Uber Eats. Omg! Absolutely delicious! I grew up in NJ, surrounded by Italian Moms and Nonas. I know good when I taste it! And it doesn't even matter that I haven't been to the grocery store because this is enough food for a week!!! Thanks so much, Slices. This dinner tastes just like home.“

“La Crepe is our families’ absolute favorite breakfast/ brunch place. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is fun and clean. The owners are fantastic and the service is 2nd to none! The BEST!“

“Tandoor Indian Cuisine, 6300 N. Wickham Rd. Melbourne, FL 32940 3- Stars Many people take up golf upon retirement, while others shuffleboard at a retirement village (gestures at the entire state). What did I do? I took it upon myself to provide unadulterated food reviews for the Space Coast of FL at no charge to you, the reader. I’m just that kind of guy. Since I didn’t have a tee time, I tended to lounge around a bit, wrapped snugly in the family counterpane. However, the name generator told me it was time to get to work. Dislodging myself from the spread, I grabbed my keys and headed north to the Pineda Causeway (thereby putting going OTB off for as long as feasibly possible). Just north of the Causeway on Wickham Road sits the Indian Buffet Restaurant, Tandoor Indian Cuisine. Call me “late to the party,” but I had no idea we had two Indian restaurants in the county, let alone the four I found out now exist. For a comparison, this one is the Walmart of Indian Restaurants so far reviewed. The entire service staff is Vietnamese, the kitchen was 100% Mexican and the owner was Indian. Not one word of English was heard nor spoken. If they put in self-serve checkout, you would have Walmart. Our service pro today was a Vietnamese chap going by the name of Llama. As Llama’s English skills were on par with my Vietnamese skills, we worked out a point-and-grunt method of ordering that went without a hitch. How hard is it to understand “The Buffet”? This Indian buffet was filled with the ever-present and famous Tandoori chicken, butter chicken, sang, and warm naan, along with several vegetarian dishes in various curries. I never once in a million years would have guessed I would be reviewing and comparing Indian restaurants in Bree-vard County, FL. But, as the man said, “The times, they are a-changin’.” The Big Boy says, “There are better Indian buffets around; however if you are stuck in Suntree with the cold sweats for an adequate curry, stop in.”“

“Literally the best cfs I’ve ever had. Everything we had was amazing. We all got something different due to it being our first time and wanted to make sure we got to try a little bit of something. We all shared our meals and it was all so good. I drove over an hour to come try mulberry lane and it was so worth it and will definitely become a regular thing for my family.“

“Cedars Cafe- Lake Washington-5-Stars Quickly becoming a local favorite, this gem of an eatery is beginning to make a huge splash in the local culinary scene. As with most fine dining joints (Cedar's is more casual, but the food is not), Chef Toni changes her menu with the seasonal availability of the freshest ingredients. As we have cruised on past summer and are now in the fall months, I thought it would be a good time to revisit a new favorite and see what Chef Toni did with her traditional, yet eclectically mixed menu. After being seated, I hungrily listened to my server rattle off the seasonal specials and began to drool. This should be extraordinary based on what my ears were telling my palate. After a few moments taking it all in, I asked for an order of Artichoke Shawarma, Fennel Apple salad, White Yam fries, Beat salad with goat cheese, Haloumi cheese, some kafta and an order of chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. Relaxing in the pleasant atmosphere it seemed only a moment had passed when my server was soon approaching with my food. Setting it down before me, I drank in the beautiful artistry and scintillating aromas spiraling towards the ceiling as I reached for my tools of gastronomical destruction and got to work. After one bite of the Artichoke Shawarma I knew that once again, Chef Toni has hit a home run. After using the outside of the Artichoke for another dish and wanting to be a zero-waste kitchen, Chef Toni took the artichoke hearts, through some shawarma spice on them, and plopped them on some freshly made hummus. The tastes were extraordinary. The Fennel Apple salad is a misnomer as it should read Fennel and Shaved Apple salad. With thin shavings of apple over fresh greens, fennel, fresh mint and a "secret" ingredient of orange blossom water, this salad was out of this world. Used to cleanse the palate between courses, it more than served its purpose In pursuing the freshest ingredients, Chef Toni often comes upon once in a blue moon opportunities from her local sources. Case in point, white yams. Obtaining just a few of them from a local farmer, Chef Toni worked her magic and turned them into fresh white yam fries served with an herbed, homemade tahini sauce that was a sheer delight on the palate. They were like no fries I have ever tasted before. Moving on to the most pedestrian dish, if one can call a goat cheese feta and fresh beet salad with homemade pomegranate vinaigrette drizzled over it, pedestrian. With farm-fresh beets and real honest to Athens goat cheese feta this was amazing as well. It seems that Chef Toni never misses. She must, she is only human, but I have yet to catch her off her game. After a few bites of the salad, just to make sure I had the taste down, I turned my attention to the grilled Haloumi cheese. While this is a traditional middle eastern dish, Chef Toni took traditional and turned it on its ear. With some almond dukkah seasoning and fresh local honey drizzled over it, this cheese was a far cry from the stuff I grew up on. Talk about scrumptious! While the Houlomi cheese was a far cry from my childhood, Chef Toni's take on kafta brought me right back to it. Grilled in the oven, topped with fresh hummus with tomato and onions and topping a freshly made pita, this went straight to the little boy inside the Big Boy and made him very happy. With a delicate blend of herbs and spices, this dish alone was worth the visit. Sadly, this brings me to the last item up for review, the Chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. What can I say about this without sounding like the proverbial broken record? Using locally farmed mushrooms and chicken, this dish taste farm-fresh and danced across my taste buds. The sauce was delicate, subtle and full of flavor while the chicken was tender, juicy and had to have been alive just a few hours earlier, it tasted that fresh. This place is 5 stars all day, every day. The Big Boy says, "Just go already!"“

“Amazing food amazing service… Some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had… Brisket was amazing“

“Jao Thai Kitchen 914 W. New Haven Ave. Melbourne, FL 32901 4.5 Stars (I went again after this review and it was even better) Arg! I stared in disbelief at yet another Thai/Sushi combo place staring up at me from my random name generator. You have got to be kidding me. How many of these hybrid clip joints have sprung up as of late? They are beginning to look a lot like Starbucks...you know, one on every corner. This time, I was headed to Jao Thai Kitchen, located in a minuscule strip mall just east of Dairy Road in Melbourne, FL. My wait staff for this culinary excursion was none other than One. While I have it on good word that One is the loneliest number, I have to admit I appreciate the new identity of using a form or letter of their actual name instead of a random generic “American” name such as Mary or Sue. This is now the 5th Thai restaurant where I encountered this new nomenclature, which is a refreshing and positive change. I asked One for an order of their Jalapeno roll, some Chicken Panang Curry and a Tuna Hand Roll. One returned at a moment’s notice with our order and after snapping a few pics, I grabbed the Jalapeno Roll and commenced tasting. This exciting concoction consisted of tuna, salmon, hamachi, asparagus, cucumber, smelt roe, jalapeno and spicy sauce topped with avocado. Like all stuffed rolls, this one can trace its roots back to the California roll sans the obligatory fake crab center. I prefer this type of roll as I really don’t like paying for fish masquerading as crab. There was just enough kick with the jalapeno and spicy sauce to entertain one’s taste buds. Next up on the Big Boy’s palate was the Chicken Panang Curry. Panang Curry has to be one of my favorite of the Thai curries. It is mild, complex and sweet with a hint of heat. This was perfectly cooked, including the tender pieces of all-white meat chicken and Thai basil, carrots and bell peppers that were fresh and obviously sliced in the back. This brings me to my Sushi join barometer of the Tuna Hand Roll. I found this one to be better than most, but it's still not quite what you would find in a traditional Sushi Ya (shop/restaurant). The tuna was a lovely shade of red and the rice was steamed to perfection. However, I found it to be severely lacking in the traditional additions one usually finds in a Tuna Hand Roll, such as a slice or two of Gobo (Japanese Burdock root/carrot or, more often, plain carrot), watercress sprouts and cucumber. This was fine, just on the simple side. It would have been rather bland on the palate if not for soy sauce. The Big Boy says, “If traditional Japanese Sushi is not your thing, for whatever reason, or you are just hankering for a hunk of raw fish and are nearby, Jao Thai Kitchen can adequately fill that sushi void.”“

“Excellent service, incredible food, fabulous drinks. Ask for Anthony; he’s the BEST!!!“

“Had breakfast here today our first time. Food was great. Service was awesome. Definitely will be going back.“

“First time here and with friends. Nice decor (not sure if it's new or previously Thai Thai's). Friendly staff and prompt service especially considering the lunch crowd.Large lunch special selection to choose (avg $15 - $20) nice sized portions."Chicken Pad Thai" - very tasty, noodles were hot, very little chicke (that was barely room temperature). "Sesame chicken" - sauce was spot on but tempura was soggy. "Best Friend" was the delicious and "Garlic Beef" was awesome. Soup of the day "Rice with ground chicken" was outstanding!Pleased with the service.Will be back to try sushi and other items from the vast menu.“

“If the affordable prices don't make this your new favorite place for Mexican food, then the more then enough portions and authentic flavor are sure to make you a regular customer...Of course, I order Carne Asada that came with a generous size steak with grilled onions, seasoned and cooked to perfection paired with beans(no beans for me) and arroz con ganduele (yellow rice with chic peas) . They did not disappoint me with my favorite traditional Spanish dish. The menu has many options if you are looking for traditional Spanish food.The store also stands as a Spanish grocery. I like to buy Mexican spicy tamarind candy called Pelón and the lollipops that are also spicy sweetOne of my favorite places“

“Just had the best cheeseburger ever at Metro Diner. Perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious! We also love their breakfasts. The service was excellent and friendly as it always is.“

“Love it!Excellent quality food and drinks, kitchen views, high end atmosphere, and top notch service.We were celebrating our engagement, so they seated us in the closest booth to the kitchen window where we could watch the chefs work their magic.We ordered the beef tartare for an appetizer and the dry aged bone in ribeye with the special steak board, all to share. We love to eat but we had SO MUCH left over. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare as we requested.We had no room for dessert, but they gave us a complimentary homemade ice cream scoop which was truly delicious and tasted very freshly made. They also gave us a complimentary homemade yuzu limoncello that I would happily buy bottled if I could, it was unique and tasty.Overall we had such a wonderful experience and now we want to come back the next time we have a special occasion.Let me tell you, you certainly get what you pay for here. It was refreshing to find a restaurant like this in Brevard.“

“Awesome breakfast and lunch service and food was impeccable if I could give it more than 5 stars I would!!!“

“Great atmosphere, even better food and service. A must try when in Melbourne Fl!“

“Incredible food, Some more rare dishes and really nice and attentive service. Spice levels and flavors were on point. I’ve eaten Indian all over USA and Florida. It’s Kinda rare to have all the classics but some specialty dishes that go as hard as this.“

“Descent prices and great crabs for the money!“

“Great staff, lively crowd and the Beef on Weck is incredible.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my first time today at Southern Sisters. Had breakfast, next time lunch. That club sandwich is calling my name. The fried green tomatoes were delish“

“Great local bar with ice cold beer and lots of tvs to watch games. Hope to return one day. Thanks to Nolan on his first day!“

“Very friendly waitress. Great margarita. Food was good.“
