50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Tampa

“Ponte does not disappoint! I took my husband there last night for his birthday and from start to finish, it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is elegant and modern but not ostentatious or garish. The food and drinks were creative, expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. And I cannot say enough about the staff. From Samantha, the hostess; Tyler, the manager; Bill, our server; and Matt, the sous chef; to the young man serving the bread and the multiple other staff who kept our water glasses full, everyone was professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. Samantha, in particular, handled a very aggressive and arrogant disgruntled man in the most diplomatic and professional manner. And this man was so aggressive that my husband and I almost intervened on Samantha’s behalf. But her diplomacy and professionalism did not waiver. To say she impressed us is an understatement. All in all, this was by far one of the best, if not the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. We will definitely return.“

“Had an incredible experience & dinner last night with family! From the atmosphere, the wait staff, Drinks, Mozzarella Cart, Main Course, to Dessert! Thank you ROCCA ❤️“

“Bern's in Tampa is an exemplary dining establishment where impeccable service and exceptional food quality are the norms.From the moment you step in, the staff's professionalism and attentiveness set a high standard that is consistently upheld throughout your dining experience. The dry-aged meat is particularly noteworthy—succulent, flavorful, and expertly prepared to perfection.However, the highlight for me is the dessert room, a unique experience that elevates the evening. Here, you can indulge in a variety of exquisite desserts in a cozy, intimate setting, making it a perfect conclusion to an outstanding meal.Bern's continues to impress, maintaining its reputation as a top-tier restaurant.“

“Best Spanish/cuban food! Absolutely love the 1905 salad! We just moved to Tampa from NY and we take all our friends and family here when they visit and they love it! Amazing steak, best white chocolate bread pudding! And definitely go for the flamenco show!“

“Everything was super awesome Ulele Rules“

“Everything was spectacular. Do not hesitate. Reserve now. For starters we had a blue cheese (the Executive Chef's favorite -don't remember the name) and the Wagyu charcuterie board, with the bread basket. The cheese was spectacular. So was the Wagyu, though we preferred the cheese and "fought" for the last smear. The bread came with a Calabrian chili butter and a muffalata style spread which by itself inspires you to return. My son had the charred octopus and said it was nice and tender, though he prefers more char. Ordered the pasta plate for my mother - the right size for her - and she ate everything and kept saying how good it was after every bite- the plate was clean! We had steaks - Delmonico and dry aged strip - they are from Bern's and you can tell. The sauces were the Fresno chili chimichurri (wow!) and the foie gras velouté (classic). Accompaniments were the brussel sprouts salad (game changer - go back for more) and the Mac&cheese with duck fat (had never tasted anything quite like this and it's a plate to remember). Finally, as Bern's sister, Haven can get you Dessert Room reservations and we did it! Baked Alaska for dessert! It was such an unexpected and pleasant evening. A shout out to Gordon, our waiter, simply the best... He is well-known and respected by Bern's staff. Deserves all the praise.“

“My hubby and I have been living in the Carrollwood Villages for a month now and we have had 3 phenomenal experiences at Noble Crust. Bridget took our ToGo order, and she knocked it out the park. We sat at the bar with Brett and Gabby. Then today, for brunch, we had the pleasure of being served by Darian. Josh the manager was nice enough to hear us gush about our experience. All 3 experiences were top notch and we are excited about our next visit. Thank you for having amazing service.“

“Amazing flavors and service!“

“Just had lunch there for my son's bday. Couldn't be more pleased. Clayton our server was so gracious and funny . for the amount of food we ordered with dessert. It came under $200.00 so much bang for your buck. Will be going back very soon.“

“Dined at the kitchen counter for my birthday. The meal + drinks + service was astounding. Highly recommend!“

“The best vegan and vegetarian dishes I’ve ever had. Hands down the best place to take a loved one, whether it be a birthday, an anniversary, or just to celebrate. Plan on spending at least $100 per person.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available. You have to ask, it doesn’t have them listed on the menu. There is one vegan dish, it is called food karma, it is what I had and I was delicious and smooth.Parking: Get there as early as a possible. There is a small parking lot that offers free parking. If not in the parking lot, you will have to park in the road.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is wheelchair accessible“

“2 of us were at dinner for my wife's birthday ... food was top shelf, loved everything. Entrees (Scallops and Sea Bass) were both outstanding and sized correctly. Caesar Salad was large so we chose to split it ... that was a good idea. Shrimp cocktail had two sauces, both excellent, we shared that too. Particularly liked the side of roasted mushrooms. Best part of the whole meal was how well the chef and waiter timed the delivery of drinks, then appetizer, then salad, then entrees, then dessert. We were not rushed. Timing was amazing (Michelin Star quality timing). Waiter (Scott) only cleared the table when both of us were finished with each course. Nothing bothers me more than when waiters clear one of us before the other is finished. Scott was the perfect waiter.“

“Not quite a 5 star experience, as some items on the traditional menu were not available. The dining room area felt a tad bit cold (possibly due to the unusual cold weather in the area). However, service was phenomenal, and the food was great. Ordered a starter and entree from the special menu, and both were great.“

“Lunch date with friends was a great choice. Shrimp and grits were super yummy! We shared and the portion was just right. Our friends split a salad and It was also good. Very attentive waitstaff. Friendly hostess. Love the decor and atmosphere.“

We are from middle Tennessee but we will be back. All looking for a better place to eat healthy and great tasting food don’t miss this place.“

“Was just here with the family and we had a great time. The food was amazing, everything seasoned great. Things we were not sure about how to cook, the staff helped us out and gave us tips. Major shout to Lisa she was a phenomenal waitress/hostess. Definitely ask for her when you come!!!!!“

“Food was great and Marietta was the best. We were 10 and she was awesome. Thank You“

“The Pinapple Ginger smoothie was soooo good a must try.“

“We came in for Mother's Day dinner, and so the restaurant was unusually busy, leading to a few hiccups. Mr. Michael even stopped by, voluntarily. Nothing major, but understandable due to the volume of customers....My drinks and meal were fantastic, however.“

“Clarence was our waiter, he was exceptional! Professional, welcoming and very attentive. This was our first time at Fleming’s. We definitely loved it and will be returning.“

Whether it's eating in, taking out or delivered the food is always fresh and hot and delicious.Best wings and cheese fries I've ever had and one of the best pizzas I've had too.“

“Trattoria Pasquale is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for a delightful dining experience.

“A group of 10 of us ate here to celebrate two college graduates.The food was delicious, the service was great and the entertainment was hilarious.We ate on the 2nd floor and they accommodated our large party easily.Our server Deja was wonderful, she was very friendly and nice and definitely attentive. Halfway through our night we had 3 more people join our table and she was able to adjust accordingly without any hesitation. Deja if you are reading this, you rock!I ordered the saganaki, which our server delivered and ignited herself! I also ordered the Greek souvlaki platter. Both of which were delicious. The portions were decent but they pricing was a little high compared to what I’m used to from comparable Greek restaurants. This could be easily explained by the location given as how it’s located directly on the main strip in Ybor.I want to leave a 5 star review but the restaurant was in shambles while we were there. What I mean by this is the cleanliness. I am well aware that breaking plates and throwing napkins on the floor is typical at a Greek establishment but the restaurant was not the cleanest and there was a strange smell brooding on the 2nd floor. To be fair it was a Saturday night and there were at least 4 large parties.I will definitely be eating here again and probably updating my review accordingly!Dietary restrictions: Most of our party could not eat pork and they have plenty of beef and chicken options.Parking: It’s ybor, you pay to park down the street and walk to the restaurant. Or get lucky and pay for street parking.“

“The best Brazilian Steakhouse! The service and the delicious food were spectacular! We always celebrate our birthdays and anniversaries here. I recommend this place 100%!“

“I have eaten here on several occasions and the last time, while I was waiting for my date to arrive, the proprietor approached me and asked me if I would like to reserve a table. After my date arrived we were promptly seated and, although we lingered over our dinner, the host was very gracious and polite. I would recommend this place not only for the food but also for the hospitality.“

“There is nothing NOT to like about Wright's! Each item on their menu is carefully crafted and the quality of their food is always outstanding!!! I live roughly 45 minutes from their location and worth every minute to savor their flavors!!“

“Great food. Terrific service. Kayln was on the money with her recommendations for dinner.“

“Good place and good food. Its hidden from the ybor hustle and bustle and its got that going for it. Great atmosphere. A place to have fun in ybor without breaking the bank. I like the fact they keep the prices of the wells down as compared to other places in ybor.“

“Wow! 7th & Grove was the best part of my trip to Tampa. I was greeted at the door by Alicia and she accommodated my party of 5 on the fly! Bri, our waitress was amazing! Quick. Efficient. Friendly. Jarvis - the manager is a people person, you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He walks by every table and checks on everyone. Loved that. Overall - if you’re looking for good music, good people, and great food - 7th and Grove will not disappoint!“

“Oh my! The food is absolutely amazing! The flavors are perfection. The service is so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish we had a Nana in Sarasota. We will be coming back to Tampa just for Nana.“

“Super cool spot with fresh and healthy food! Went with the classic Gyro plate and was not disappointed! Plenty of food that was super good with a ton of flavor! The service was top notch too, very polite and brought our order to the table. Will definitely be back!“

“I've been to all three of the Trip's Diner's, and particularly recommend the Tampa location. Had brunch there today; food was very good, service by Callie was exceptional. Michael M.“

“An incredible restaurant in every way, a few days ago my husband and I had our wedding and we got catering service with this fantastic restaurant. They were very nice and incredible with us, the service was excellent and the food was exquisite: everyone loved it, especially the tuna cause. I absolutely recommend them, they made my wedding very special. They are the best, thank you very much! ?“

“Great service and food. Large selection of entrees.“

“Love it here. There are so many restaurants and places to hear music and have some drinks. Walking around the area is always nice, and if you feel like making your steps for the day, you can walk all the way to Bayshore, and the route is fairly easy and scenic. You'll make your 10k steps easily.“

“From the moment I stepped into the Edison on Tampa’s Water Street, Bri immediately caught my attention. Her tattoos and warm smile set her apart as an exceptional bartender. Despite the bustling environment, she made me feel like a regular, effortlessly managing the hectic bar with poise. I was so impressed by her service that I felt compelled to personally thank her manager, Jess, to ensure my appreciation was properly conveyed. A truly memorable experience, thanks to their outstanding hospitality. To the words I’ve learned from watching great hospitality, “Service is the technical delivery of a product. Hospitality is how the delivery of that product makes its recipient feel.”“

“If you’re looking for an authentic Italian, fine dining experience this is the place! Friendly staff , family owned, great atmosphere in general! The food is superb, large selection of wine. This restaurant will make you feel like you’re in Italy when they have a staff singing Italian songs to the diners. It’s just amazing! We will be back for sure!“

“A great all around all you can eat sushi place. Would recommend going for the lunch special. It was under $20 per person but if you go for dinner it's around $30. At $30 there are better alternatives for sushi and Japanese cuisine in the Brandon area. If you love japanese food and sushi I would recommend at least trying it.“

“Super tasty, loved the atmosphere, staff are friendly and upbeat…all around a great place!“
