38 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in St. Louis

“Great date spot patio - wonderful outdoor atmosphere. Super attentive waitstaff (great attention, recommendations, and personality). Cool cocktails and some really good beers available. The food was outstanding! The menu was basically laid out in order of smallest to biggest plates; the snacks were very much snack-sized, the small plates were still plenty enough to share, and the entrees were generous. Very creative and fun cuisine. The white anchovies that we requested on the side of our (outstandingly fresh and summery) tomato salad were the absolute best anchovies I have ever had - if you like anchovies and they have "white anchovies" on the menu, order! (Our waitress was nice enough to check in the restaurant pantry to find out the brand for me, which was very appreciated.) Though we were stuffed, we had dessert and the chocolate cake we ordered was decadent and a wonderful end to a fun and romantic meal. Totally recommend Little Fox, especially for a spontaneous date night out, whether you want to graze and sip cocktails or get a full dinner.“

“Edit..we have been back since my review.The rude guy at the door is gone. Everyone is friendly and the food is beyond amazing!!Make sure if you want to try this place out, you make reservations. My friend and I decided last minute to try the restaurant out because I had read about it on line. When we arrived, we were informed that there would be a wait. I asked about seating at the bar because most places it is open seating. Let me tell you the host was so condescending that it was uncomfortable. There is no waiting area and he acted alarmed that I was going to approach the bar to get a glass of wine. He then informed us it was a 2 hour wait. After driving around forever trying to find a place to park and having much anticipation of trying Sado we just left. I rarely leave a bad review anywhere but I realize this place is new and hope they work on their customer service. I am sure the food will be amazing“

“My son and I take field trips to different places when he's visiting from L. A! The staff is super friendly and the ambiance is super cute! The food is top tier and the juice taste like nectar from the gods! My son had the tamale dish and it tasted like a yummy vacation! I had the cheese grits and let's say the whole bowl was devoured in 10 minutes, so creamy and delicious. My son and I shared the cheese sandwich which was delicious as well! I'm so coming back! The wait time wasn't too long and street parking is available.“

“Our server Josh (yes, coincidence) nailed it. Attentive but not overbearing. The cocktails were a hit too, and I'd recommend the Apple Bottom Jeans and the Violet Mojito.My wife and I stuck to small plates as we weren't in the mood for large plates. The lobster roll was out of this world, and while it looks small, they manage to pack so much delectable lobster into it. The pork belly was also incredible though it was light on the amount of pork belly in it. The spam fried rice was really good. The chili flakes elevate the entire plate, but if you don't like spicy food, I might suggest you get something else. Finally, the cheddar biscuits...they weren't very good. They were a bit tough, not fluffy, and were portioned in a way that made them awkward to eat (too tall). I would not recommend the biscuits. But overall, great experience, 4.5/5.“

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.“

“The food was amazing. Best Gyoza I have ever had. Lick your plate good.“

“Great homemade food. Staff are wonderful. Great place to go.“

“I would put myself in debt to eat this food, It's so incredible the head chef is brilliant, and the staff from the front of the house to the back make the entire experience a joy. the wild boar and polenta is writing home about worthy, and the tirimisu makes me emotional... the pizza is literally the only pizza in st louis worth eating and I'm from Chicago so I feel like my opinion is extra valid lol. there are a ton of "fancy restaurants" in St. Louis but table cloths and wine selection don't mean crap when the menu of a reasonably priced pizza joint makes your food look like McDonald's by comparison.“

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere, & great vibes!!!“

“I had the shrimp boil and the Brussel sprouts and potatoes that were crispy were fantastic. The sausage was a Great blend of flavor and heat. The shrimp were terrific. The lemon and wet towel was a superb ending I received much joy having clean hands at the table.the catfish was excellent I tried it.Loved the atmosphere and decor. Service was Top Notch thanks.Bathrooms were clean and nice.“

“Thanks Mary for a beautiful spread for my Father in law’s Celebration of Life! A Toast to Terry! You & all the staff were amazing! Scott took great care of us! The food was delicious & the venue perfect! Lori “Wezee” Jurgensen“

“Bartolinos South is our favorite nice restaurant. Not only is the food consistently wonderful but they always work to please you. We celebrate all special occasions there. Recently we reserved their front room which holds a max of 16, I believe. They went out of their way to make the setting perfect (even bringing in a small table for our use). Our waiter, Karen, was discreet in providing us perfect service without interrupting our shared conversation/memories as we were toasting a dear friend on her birthday. I can’t say enough about how flawless they made our luncheon. Bartolinos will remain our favorite not only for the quality of the food but for their personal attention.“

“I stopped in here for brunch with my girlfriends Saturday morning and what a cute spot! I'd definitely recommend joining the waitlist at least 30 minutes prior as it was VERY busy; we did so luckily we only waited maybe five minutes before our table was ready. There was also plenty of parking out front of the street and additional parking on those side streets throughout Clayton. Between our table we had the fruit salad, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, the BLT and various lattes and everything was so good. Shoutout to our waitress, also, she was such a gem and very attentive. This is a great brunch spot and I'll definitely be back!“

“The service is exceptional. We visited tonight. Carl was our server and he was stellar. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and again service was outstanding.“

“It was wonderful!!! Food, atmosphere, EVERYTHING!❤️“

“Hands down the best ribs in America. Will always be my favorite.“

“Terror Tacos has been in my radar for a while and we finally went last night! I didn't know it was as small as it is. There were four of us and when we got there we ended up having to sit at the high top communal table because that's all that was available. I don't like high top tables, but it was better than nothing. You can order at the counter or via QR at your table. My husband ordered our food and said the process was annoying, as did our friends. It's dark in there! People were using their phone flashlights to read the menu. And the music was loud so everyone was talking over it and it was a lot. After we ordered our food, a four top table opened up and we moved there. The cocktails came out after a little while. The food took much longer - maybe about an hour. There were people coming in for carry out orders. So even when it didn't seem there were many people in there after a while, they still had to go orders sprinkled in there. The food menu had peppers next to the menu items. The bigger the piece of pepper, the spicier. Another diner explained that to us. The tacos are a decent size. Two were plenty for me. If I were really hungry, I would maybe be able to eat two and a half. The tacos and the drinks were really good! I'd definitely go back!“

“We visited St. Louis for a conference and found this Thai restaurant near the convention center. Sure glad we did! The food was fresh, attractive, and well-prepared. We had the dumplings for a starter and then my wife had Pad Thai and I had the Thai Sweet Basil Chili Bomb. Amazing all around. Plus the young lady who served us was as polite and attentive as can be. I've bookmarked this place for the next time we're in St. Louis.“

“Seriously obsessed after one bowl of ramen! Will be back soon!“

“Tonight our pickup order was about 20 min late. Apparently there was a new cook doing the dumplings. We just want the new cook to know that you may have had a tough night, but your dumplings were excellent. Thanks!“

“Great local restaurant with excellent service and great food.“

“BEST Ribs! These are seriously some of the best ribs I have ever had. We had the Rocket Platter there were 4 of us and we left with a few ribs. The Platter included 3 sandwiches and 3 sides. The sandwiches we chose were pulled pork, burnt ends, and brisket. All the sandwiches were excellent. The sauces were good, the north Carolina BBQ sauce very authentic. The sides were BBQ beans, coleslaw and potato salad. Sides were all good, the coleslaw is very vinegar based no mayonnaise. Have I mentioned the ribs? Soo good. The owner and folks who work there are extremely friendly which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant is smaller so that might be a consideration for a larger group. They have good parking. HIGHLY recommend!“

“We were out on a Monday morning produce run for our restaurant and wanted a quick brunch. Service was fast, friendly, and delicious. Parking can be odd but it’s worth the Tetris.“

“Went here for lunch today with my toddler and baby. Very friendly service and the food is delicious! Will definitely come back“

“I finally made it and really it’s worth 100 stars , The chicken salad is probably the best salad in Stl , everything about it is perfect , chicken soo good , lettuce chopped with tons of parsley, all ingredients top notch and the dressing is excellent. I had the spinach pie for dinner and it is heaven . I’ve already planned on nesting 2 sets of ppl there! Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is a GREAT neighborhood restaurant! Great ambiance in the front room! Very good wine list; we thoroughly enjoyed the Manzone Gramolere Barolo. The food was excellent, and the portions quite large on the Chicken Marsala. One of the specials was Divers Scallops on a bed of risotto, and the scallops were perfectly done. Service after the entree could have been more attentive.“

“The fried shrimp baco is incredible!!!“

“This is the best kept secret in St.Louis. Sushi Burrito is incredible and great portion size. Also won't leave you feeling terrible when you are finished.The new location in Maplewood is so much better and only makes BLK MKT Eats an even better option!Vegetarian options: Get your burrito or Poke Bowl to your own specs!“

“my favorite bartender Pauline us here. Love the atmosphere and openess.“

“A fun night out. We had three seats. When we got there, people were seated at our table requiring our group to sit separately. While that allowed me to chat with others, perhaps reserved seating would be more accommodating.They cleared plates without asking if people were done. So, people came back from the drink line to their food gone. The bartender acted as they she was irritated by having customers.The actors were friendly.“

“My boyfriend got the fillet with the gravy (I forget the name) and absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed the kale Caesar salad as well!Vegetarian options: They have plant based sausage for the pizza, options with vegan cheese as well, and many other vegetarian options.“

“Absolutely amazing food!!!“

“This is our favorite stop on frequent trips to STL to visit our daughter, and it was the first time in 3 years we were disappointed. Service was slow and food came out cold. Didn't realize til after we left that gratuity had been included in our bill, so we double tipped for really poor service. Oysters are always da bomb!!! Etouffe so flavorful and delicious when served up hot (since it took so long to order and get our food I was afraid to send it back to the kitchen to heat up, but it made great leftovers the next day). Will be back in the fall, guys. Hope this last experience was just a fluke.“

“This was an amazing experience and excellent chef.“

“Food was extraordinary …….“

“Awesome place! Great food and wonderful service!“

“We recently moved to the area from Florida and were in search of great St. Louis BBQ. We dined at many establishments and though the food was good, we were not wowed until now. Dalie's Smokehouse Was exceptional. The food was phenomenal and the customer service and attentiveness were superb. You could tell that thw folks at Dalie’s didn’t just want our business, they wanted us to have a wonderful experience and to become a part of the family. We found our spot. See you again real soon.“
