50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Detroit

“Cannot go to bed tonight without writing this review first. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Bartender/waitstaff really knew the menu well. Ordered the trout, beet salad, and gnocchi all of which were flavorful and texturally perfect. For dessert, ordered the upside down carrot cake and pavlova. Ate every last bite even though we were already full. We will be coming back and bringing friends!“

“Had the absolute best experience. I've frequented a few Michelin star restaurants and the Highlands definitely deserves one! Took my boyfriend for his birthday, and we both got different courses so combined we tried 6 dishes - the bread and butter is superb, loved the prawns, tuna crudo is fantastic, NY strip cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!!“

“Went by with some buddies. The veal mystery meat and corned beef sliders were very good. Also had the wedge salad and really liked the thousand island. One of my buddies got the cucumbers and said they were great as well...quite the selection...I had the buffalo chicken and Philly as well and they were good just really liked the other two....cool spot and would recommend.“

“The service, food and atmosphere was perfect.“

“We had reservations, and we were seated right away! Our waitress was awesome! She brought out our drinks and appetizers really quick! Our food was REALLY GOOD! We enjoyed everything! We will definitely come back! The only thing that would be nice is if you all had a military discount.“

“It was an exciting time. The lions were winning. We went to Slows for dinner. They said there would be an hour and a half wait, turned out to be 2 hours. TOTALLY worth the wait! The food was INCREDIBLE. The manager comped our drinks for having to wait so long. Heck, it wasn't their fault that the place.was so busy and people were lingering. I wish Slows was closer to my house, I would eat there much more often. I give them 10 stars.“

“We celebrated our daughter’s birthday with a fabulous dinner and dessert. Our server Ashley was great! Her recommendations were excellent. We started with sheep’s milk ricotta and hot honey and tuna crudo. Our entrees were tortellini di zucchini, squid ink fettuccine and swordfish vesuvio. The Sicilian pistachio cake with olive oil gelato was a perfect ending to an amazing meal. Our daughter travels for business and has eaten at top restaurants around the country. She said she would put this in her top five!“

“The Rattlesnake Club is a great standby and an old favorite. Its location makes it better suited for the summer since it's one of the few restaurants close to the river and Aretha Franklin amphitheater.The food is solid, and there's a great variety, so there's something for everyone.“

“I'm not sure I've ever been here when it's not busy. Always has a good crowd and atmosphere. One of my favorite spots to grab a bite to eat in the city. The wings are delicious. I also really enjoyed the fried chicken strips. Overall a great experience for anyone visiting the city.“

“First time dining at Cork and Gabel for a date night and it was an amazing experience that made us feel like we were the only ones there in the middle of a packed restaurant. We loved the decor/design and menu - and our experience chatting with the staff member, Rick. We got to order a custom drink and had the bartender personally bring it to me. It was all so delicious. Thank you so much for the hospitality and kindness, as well as for our cool waiter, Alex. Can't wait to check it out again.“

“We ate at Basan Detroit on a Saturday evening (we were among the first to arrive at 4pm). Overall, we had a positive experience. The cocktails and food were creative, and intriguing to our taste buds. We highly recommend and will come back again to try other menu items. Below is additional details of our dining experience. Place: New and at a great location. It's next to the Little Caesars Arena. We were worried about parking because of the hockey games, but because we arrived early we were able to find an inexpensive metered street parking (otherwise park at the garage or use valet). The interior is spacious, modern and elegant. Chairs are comfortable and there's adequate lighting. Services: Excellent. Our server was friendly and the restaurant staff made sure our glasses of water are always refilled and empty dishes were quickly taken away. Cocktails: Although I am usually a whiskey or bourbon person, the cocktails are creative and full of flavor. Ube-B was an interesting mix of vodka, berry, and crispy taste of black sesame, but delicious. Food: Flavorful and fulfilling. We walked away feeling like we were in heaven. We enjoyed all of our choices and definitely will come back again. Quick Review of our Choices: Cocktails: Baba Baba Old Fashioned (whiskey) - great mix for an old fashioned, just how I would like to enjoy it. Night City (bourbon) - little stronger than old fashioned, but perfect. Ube-Be (vodka) - an interesting mix of vodka, berry, and crispy taste of black sesame, but delicious. Swimming Bird (shochu - Japanese liquor)- First time I had shochu. The mix reminds me of lime sprite. I would enjoy having it again. Buns: Lobster- I did not try it, but looks appetizing. Fried Oyster- creamy with kimchi heat. Love it. Chicken Kastu- delectable, especially with curry. My favorite. Small: Chicken Liver Mousse- milk bread was crispy, and the chicken liver mouse was delicious (a bit chilled, but yummy nonetheless). Our favorite, we would have it again. Tornado Potato- great spiral potato, kinda like crispy chips with sauce. Gyoza- savory lamb stuffed gyoza and sweet potato puree, delightful combo. Large: Udon - creamy dish of noodles with eggs, there's a heat aftertaste, mild but delicious. Kalbi Short Ribs- appetizing and flavorable. Dessert: Tofu Donuts- we were hesitating because we are not a fan of Tofu, but this dessert surprised us. Taste just like cinnamon sugar Donuts. Careful, allow it to cool down to enjoy it. Soft Serve- vanilla soft serve in ginger waffle, ginger candies, and marshmallow, an interesting combo, but delicious and sweet.“

“I can only speak to the downtown spot, hands down cleanest taps , how can I tell ?!! The taste, you can’t even compare. You have to try yourself, don’t take my word for it. I’m not an avid beer drinker, my go to is soft parade, it just hits different here ! Burgers; amazing, tacos; amazing. Best part , great prices.“

“Pizza deep dish pan style“

“Some of the most amazing food we’ve ever eaten“

“Easily one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Chef Garza makes a beautiful, melt in your mouth filet with 3 chile butter. I wish I could eat it everyday. My wife had Salmon Al Horno which was equally as good. Make sure to get table side guacamole! This restaurant is so good, I’m constantly trying to find something to celebrate so we can go!“

“The most delicious food with lots of gluten free options! I can't wait to come back, the whole fam gives this place two thumbs up“

“Came down for brunch whoever made that omelette it was the balm will be back again for one, nice place also.“

“Loved the cocktails, the staff is highly knowledgeable and the cost of the drinks are affordable. I feel like it go above and beyond, the drinks have high-grade ingredients and in house Specialties. I love the pop and I hope they sell it. (Tip: Taste this pop) they have alcohol for sale and the cutest bottles and also have drink kits for sale.“

“Went today while visiting the passport office, this place made this task a treat. We were trying to think of reasons to drive the 3 hours back the whole ride home.“

“Probé por primera vez una arepa venezolana. Me encanta. Planeo regresar y probar más gastronomía del país lindo.“

“Hands down best steak taco/burrito I've ever eaten. It's worth venturing to. It's pretty inexpensive too. Spanish is spoken and cash only. It's easy to miss because it's in the parking lot behind tall fences that say farmers market right on the corner of Livernois and Toledo street.“

“We had dinner here last night and the food was absolutely amazing! I could've eaten a whole bowl of the hummus. We are excited to go back and try some other menu options. It was also great that the chef/owner came out to talk to us and tell us about some of the recipes. What a treat! If you're looking for something different and great food, this is the place to go!“

“We dined in JLSK on Sunday. The service was spot on. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was inviting. A "trifecta"!“

“I've been here probably a dozen times for coffee and snacks. Finally got a larger meal today. The bread (possibly sourdough) is amazing. Some of the best I've had In the city. And it was a generous chunk with my soup. Next time I'm getting a sandwich “

“Place is as inviting as the workers! Games to play. Full food menu. Tons of beer options. Call to coordinate a weekend tour. Scott and other employees are friendly and knowledgeable. Rooftop open seasonally. City Pour is a tasty fruit flavored beer!“

“We had heard such good things about this place. Expectations were pretty high but they were met and even exceeded. The Com Tam was fantastic. As it says on the menu, it definitely serves two, probably three if you're sharing some small dishes as well. The oyster mushrooms were not at all what I was expecting and very delicious. There are a number of good Vietnamese places in Metro Detroit. I appreciate that this one has their own point of view. The staff was friendly and helpful.“

“Wow for my first time in this restaurant, for my order the food is so amazing, delicious, good job“

“Great service Amazing food“

“Great place. Bartender was on point . Food came very quick. Chicken sandwich was phenomenal . Will return for sure!“

“Excellent service. Variety of foods to order are great! Both hot and cold choices are available. Recommend the Chorizo and Grilled Squid Fillet. Also, Patatas Bravas dish does have great flavor!As stated by the waiter, the sangria is definitely sweet!! Just an FYI.Convenient street parking with the Detroit Parking app.“

“I've been eating at Vivio's for 40 years, and their food has been consistently delicious and fresh. Recently, our table of 8 loved their pizza (artichoke and so wonderful), seafood sandwich (shrimp and bay scallops and cheese), and the sliders were the best in SE Michigan, in my opinion!!! Always busy on weekends, but the wait was worth it.“

“It was a lovely time, and the upstairs sweating was warm and cozy. Great fried rice also“

“Goodbye Nemo’s, hello Tommy’s. Free parking, free shuttles to the Tigers game during the week AND FRESH POPCORN! Park. Grab a drink and some delicious food. Tip your servers and driver. THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!“
