50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Brooklyn

“The atmosphere was fine and the plants on the wall were lovely. The monk fish was ok. The burger was good but substitutions are not allowed (I asked about subbing some greens instead of fries). You also can’t choose how your beef is cooked and I was fine with medium. It came well done, unfortunately. I like salty foods and this burger was pretty salty but I didn’t mind. The bacon was the best part of the entree.I’m adding an additional star in my review because they cook their fries in duck tallow which is much healthier and tastier than seed oils. Fries cooked in seed oils (most restaurants) contain trans fats because the frier cools and heats up over and over which causes the oil molecules to degrade down to trans fats. I’m glad more restaurants are starting to switch from canola and soy bean oil to animal fats. Ok, coming off my soap box.“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“Couples or parties of 2 get ready to cozy up to your fellow patrons. If you need to get up tables will have to be pulled forward to let you out. Larger groups definitely have more room and spacing, but nonetheless the experience will be intimately loud. We came for the highly reviewed Coniglio (braised rabbit) which did not disappoint, but the Spaghetti Neri is a must try. The octopus was perfectly cooked and enrobed in a peppery sauce whose "slow burn" made it hard to put my fork down or prevent my partner from eating out of my plate. Their oxtail and cuttlefish appetizer is an "interesting" experience. The texture was heavy on the creamy and soft with flavors that channeled childhood memories for me, but were in conflict with each other for my partner. Thankfully, the Primitivo Orion was sublime on the palate in all the ways. If you're in the mood for a light dessert that isn't heavy on the sweetness, their panna cotta with wine infused cherries and almond biscotti is the perfect end cap. This place gets packed, so make a reservation. Our 6:45 pm booking was the sweet spot where the turnover from earlier diners gave us a little space for hand holding across the table and a mini lull to shout my man a happy birthday.“

“such a cute little brunch spot. classy cocktails and great food. quiche was fantastic and everything on the menu was served impeccably. coffee is bottomless is you get drip. they make some mean cocktails too. anything on the menu is a treat and service is amazing.“

“I came on a Monday evening and I got a reservation the day before. There were plenty of reservations available. The servers were nice and came to refill our water often. The food was unique and I don't get a chance to eat elevated Mexican food that often. I ordered: * Swordfish Tacos - 9/10 - The charred flavor on the swordfish was really good, and the spicy sauces added heat and a slight tanginess. The taco didn't have many toppings but the simplicity of the dish is what made the individual flavors shine. * Lamb Barbacoa Tacos - 7.5/10 - These had good flavor, but I felt like they were missing something. The meat was a bit dry, and all the ingredients were soft. I think adding another texture would elevate it. * Soya Marinated Tuna Tostada - 8/10 - The chili oil paired nicely with the soy marinade on the tuna. I liked that they put fat slices of tuna. The tostada was perfectly crunchy. * Oxomoco Guacamole - 7.5/10 - The chips on the side are the same tostada that comes with the tuna. The guacamole itself is delicious but it's hard to justify almost $20 for guacamole, no matter how good it is. * Recuerdame - 8/10 - A fun drink to order with tacos. I liked the aesthetics and that it was a blended ice drink. The alcohol flavor wasn't too strong and it was sweet. Overall, all the food I had was really delicious and for a Michelin-starred restaurant the vibe was pretty casual and chill. However, it is quite pricey for the amount of food you get, so I would save it for a celebration or special occasion.“

“I absolutely loved this place!! The interior was so cute and felt like a great spot to grab a drink. We came here for brunch and got the Bread Basket for the table which was fire with the different spreads/honey butter. For y main, I tried the Eggs Cilbir which was surprisingly very filling. The yogurt flavor was delicious. I do think it could come with more bread though. Overall, really good experience. I'm sure I'll find my way back.“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“Innovative Japanese food in a very welcoming space. Try the Japanese breakfast available all day which reminded me of Tokyo. The pancake soufflé is to die for and a must have. We highly recommend.Parking: Street parking on weekend easy.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for the kids. Start with the soufflé.“

“Ultimate Thai food. Be ready to bring the heat. Friendly staff and great food.“

“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.“

“We really enjoyed Vinegar Hill! It was a fantastic find! Delicious food, great atmosphere and excellent service!“

“10/10 food with 11/10 people ?The staff was very accommodating to our dietary restrictions and even made us wings (that usually fried) in the brick-ovenThe sauce and jam with the wings was amazing.And the pizzas had the perfect ratio of cheese, sauce, and dough.For dessert, we got the Nutella calzone and loved the cinnamon sugar that’s comes sprinkled on top. It was so delicious.Thank you PDA for a great night!“

“A new favorite. Food is stellar- get the steak and dip it in the potato sauce (thank me later). Immaculate service- kind, lovely people. Small spot but great vibes. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. Oh and get the flan and for dessert!“

“Stop by with a couple of friends on a Friday night, place is warm and welcoming. Started with a Negroni which was spot on, had hummus platter which was the best in NYC so far, falafel which was bigger in size than the known falafel but yet very tasty. My friend raved about the cauliflower, but the star was the smoked lamb shawarma. All in all, good experience with attentive and responsive service with excellent food. We would have stayed longer had the chairs been more comfortable. I’ll be back (German accent)“

“After a nice visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, my girlfriend and I were craving some pizza. L & B Spumoni Gardens seemed like the perfect spot to try a different style of pizza. We managed to find parking easily despite the seemingly packed lot. As we joined the line outside, we were unaware of the indoor seating until I went to check, which turned out to be a huge plus. Once seated, we ordered the Sicilian Square Pizza with mushrooms on top. The pizza exceeded our expectations, with the perfect balance of thickness and crispiness that we both enjoyed. However, my girlfriend noted that she would prefer the mushrooms cooked a bit more. Despite this minor critique, we both agreed that L & B Spumoni Gardens offers exceptional pizza, and we would gladly return for another meal.“

“So amazing and dont discouraged with the line“

“Amazing service William was a great host I will highly recommend this restaurant it is a must to go in New York“

“The food was amazing!! Tasted like nothing I’ve ever had!!“

“Traif is so outstanding that it reminds me, despite our crumbling society, that there is a beacon of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of a chef’s tasting menu, where each dish is so flavorful, so delicious, that I shed not one, but several tears that maybe, just maybe, humanity has a chance of food this good still exists.“

“Fabulous date night at Nami Nori. We both order the signature set which was phenomenal. Every piece was creative, so fresh and better than the last. We shared the tempura misto, wasabi cucumber tataki and the spicy tuna dip. The wasabi cucumber was a great choice and the green that we needed for the meal. Could have passed on the tempura. I loved the spicy tuna dip but my boyfriend said he rather grab more handrolls next time. We also got the mochurros and tbh, it's a pass for us. The WBurg location has a liquor license and the fun cocktails are not to be missed! Im not a fan of lychee martinis and my boyfriend ordered one off the menu and it was probably the best ones I've had. Attentive staff and such a beautiful venue. It's always so hard to get reservations but we saw plenty of open seats on a Saturday around 730/peak dinner, so definitely try walking in.“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“

“Came here for my girlfriend's birthday and it was an amazing experience. The food was phenomenal and since it was our first time there, the staff were very helpful helping us pick items.We ended up getting the whipped ricotta dip, babaganoush, salmon belly skewer, hanger steak, and shaksuhka. Everything turned out amazing and we actually ended up getting a total of 3 extra pita orders as we were eating.Would highly recommend their whipped ricotta dip, that was the highlight of the night“

“Wonderful counter serve hot dog joint in the neighborhood! Staff are super nice, service is prompt, and food tastes great! Got a chicago dog and a soda, and a bag of chips comes with. Fun retro decor inside. Outdoor seating only. Will definitely be back!“

“Delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, fast and comfortable service, there are different tables, both for a large group and for 2-4 peopleVegetarian options: There is no special section for vegetarians on the menu, but there are vegetarian snacks and drinks“

“Delicious wood fired pizza with amazing toppings including vegan options. Wonderful, cozy environment and eclectic playlist. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Great setting, creative and sensual cuisine, great wine list.“

“Came to a wedding and the food is absolutely phenomenal!“

“Long time since we couldn't have dinner here, always fully booked. So this time we got a chance. Very small, beautiful, and so vibe place. We had pasta and the best wine. Thanks to our server guy with curly hair, so it was so polite and very helpful. He helped to choose wine, and we love it. We come back for sure many times in the future. Thank you for chefs for delicious food.“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“The owner and staff are wonderful“

“Food was good , we got the Service was quick and good Ambiance was cute ! Food wise we got the pad ke Mao, northern style curry, spring rolls, volcano wings and pad Thai Drinks I got Thai green tea, Thai ice tea and a cute lavender alcoholic drink haha“

“Iconic Williamsburg brunch with a divine menu. The pancakes were deliciously fluffy study syrup that didn't overpower. Sandwiches looked great too. Quality of food and unbeatable location are the highlights of this venue for me. Excellent coffee.“

“Some of the best ramen we've ever had. Wish we could have tried them all!! Fantastic.“

“Everything about this restaurant is simply superb! I have been to Bricolage multiple times because of their yummy food, the excellent service and their authentic ambiance. Everything in their menu is delicious, but the Coconut Green Curry Lamb Shank is to die for. It's so well marinated but not overly spicy, just makes it a super balanced dish. Their service is on point, I recently went with a large group, everyone got their food and drinks without any wait, even though the restaurant was full. I can't wait for the next time I go to Bricolage!“

“To recommend anything on the menu - shrimp Mac n cheese. We took this home and devoured it the moment we opened it and couldn't stop raving how good it was. My partner who doesn't even like truffle couldn't put it down. I recommend setting a reservation, we were fortunate to originally be seated at the bar, and then offered a table due to cancelations. Ambiance is very chill, low lights music playing but you're still able to have conversation. Staff is friendly Food was delish. We got -Steak frites, burger, Mac n cheese and French onion- and was not disappointed !!!“

“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend“

“Incredible dining experience. I’ve been wanting to come here for some time and finally got reservations last night, did not disappoint! The space is comfortable and roomy. Service was welcoming and relaxed in the best way. We came at 5 and by 6:30 when we left the bar had slowly filled up so might be a good time to come if you’re walking in on a week night. I love that they switch their menu around weekly based off the seasons. We tried the fava bean puree, fried cauliflower, spaghetti with smoked mushrooms, the ragu, and panna cotta. Everything was delicious. The fava beans are not to be missed! Can’t wait to come back throughout the seasons and see what they have to offer!“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“Amazing food and service.will definitely be back!“

“Great atmosphere, and layout. There are quite a few seating areas: the front entrance has a few tables, there’s seating by the bar, before the patio and finally there’s a patio. It is stunning.My friend and I didn’t have a table which was fine because the garden area had amazing seating. Our bottle of rosé came up to $60 which was a bit pricey; would love if there was a free bite to have in addition to getting a bottle (like bread and olive oil or a biscuit).Overall, I would come back here. The food menu from what I noticed is very light, so plan accordingly.“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“Stopped here on a food tour and was treated to several dishes of this Eastern European cuisine. We loved everything we tried. Highly recommend for authentic food and beautiful decor. Staff very friendly and prompt.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“It’s all about the prawns. Giant, jumbo sized almost as big as a lobster. Buttery, rich, huge grilled prawns.I’ve also had and can recommend:- larb with fried duck skin- rib eye- soft shell crab curryBut again it’s the giant prawn that steals the show. They even have a giant blue prawn in the back of the restaurant hanging from the ceiling. It’s a sign. Get the prawns.“

“Always good !! Just stopped in on a sunny day to sit outback and enjoy the excellent cheeseburger and kale salad . We love this dive bar, people always friendly and the quality of food for the price is excellent . Been coming here for ten yrs or more and it never disapoints“
