50 Best Vegan Restaurants in New York

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Curried goat patties, Snow Crab entree, best hummus dish ever and inventive strawberry short cake riff. Chill music vibe. Knowledgeable and attentive and most importantly genuinely friendly staff. Love this place.“

“I've been to Dirt Candy twice, once in March 2023 and once in April 2024. I loved the experience and the food in March and decided to come again this year to taste a new menu. I appreciated the effort and creativity that they put into this new menu, but the execution was lacking.I would probably go back again in the future after they switch the menu again.“

“Very affordable restaurant, highly recommended“

“We’ve had Cadence on our list of places to try for a while now, and once we knew we’d be back in the city, we had to make it happen.For starters, the restaurant is intimate without being intimidating, and the staff are all beautiful people who seem joyful and genuinely happy to celebrate their food. We started with the potato salad w pickles and the fried green tomatoes. Ordering potato salad doesn’t usually scream excitement, unless you’re my wife, then it’s basically sexy talk. Cadence’s potato salad was super creamy, deliciously tangy with the pickles, and was the night’s favorite for both of us (A+).The fried green tomatoes come with a savory romesco sauce that really rounds out the dish. I wouldn’t say it was an all-timer, but we definitely enjoyed it (B).Next, we had the buffalo oyster mushroom sandwich, which looks amazing on the plate. It’s a tower of a sandwich that’s not easy to eat without getting a little messy. The buffalo sauce and avocado set it apart (B). We followed up the buffalo sandwich with the maple buttermilk cornbread. This dish, a frequent flyer on their Instagram, is everything you want in a cornbread. Crumbly, sweet, savory, and served with a generous dollop of vegan butter that makes it waaaaay too hard stop. This was a perfect dish (A+), only drawback was we were already getting too full to eat it all. Would have preferred to have it earlier in the meal.Last, we had the lemonberry cake for dessert. Delightful. Lemony, sweet, but not overly so. A beautiful dish. The candied lemon rind was definitely a favorite for me (A).“

“Great food, service and drinks“

“Was here for a team dinner on a work trip & everything was fantastic. We ordered more than half the menu for the 6 of us and loved every bit of it. The pork belly was my favorite, but even the hummus with a variety of vegetables to dip gave a lovely assortment of textures and the plating was just pretty Service was exceptional and staff was very friendly and attentive. The open-concept kitchen was different but it was nice. Whoever was in charge of the music should also keep that aux cord! Awesome vibes!“

“Excellent food and experience!“

“Incredible food experience in a lovely space.Menu is extremely well curated, with excellent ingredients and surprising combinations.As a tuna lover, I found the Tuna Tartare incredible.Soy Butter Bigoli are out of this world.I can't wait to come back and check out the rest of the menu!“

“My acquaintance Jody needs no kuddos from me. I first met Ms. Williams when she was holding a staff meeting at a communal table in a small room at the back of Buvette when they first opened.I was struck by her kind and professional demeanor, nothing like I read in the stuff of blankety, blank, blank. The staff was relaxed, smiling and attentive. And, matched their bosses energy— proving once more that the fish rots from the head down.Fast forward, years later Buvette is no longer my date place (not because they’ve loosened their standards!)— it’s because I’ve broken with animal proteins.Via Carota, is in my mind is the go-to for vegetarians.Ms. Williams treats vegetables with the respect that they deserve. Never blanketed beyond recognition with cheese or sauce.The staff is both friendly and knowledgeable and most importantly— democratic. I’m no longer a regular, but I was treated with respect that every paying customer deserves.“

“Had the recommendation from the Off Menu Podcast. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing ramen.“

“My friend and I got dinner here very last minute. We went with no expectations. We ordered the kampachi crudo starter and the spicy crab spaghetti. The crudo was alright, but nothing super special. The spicy crab spaghetti was pretty good, but it was not really spicy at all, especially coming from someone who is usually pretty sensitive to spicy. Overall Food 4/5 stars.While the dinner was pretty solid, what made this meal extra special was the desserts! We split the basil ice cream and strawberry rhubarb cake. The dessert was my favorite part of the meal and really carried the while experience. I'd go back just for the desserts.“

“?? We were the last party arriving at 9pm on a Monday night. We sat at the bar and were served by Sebastian. The place lets you bring your own bottle of wine for a $50 cork fee which is so unique and great for a Michelin Star restaurant, and they don't make you feel cheap for doing it either. From start to finish the food was just so so so good, the atmosphere and service were absolutely perfect. I'll remember that triple fish first course till I'm 100 years old, especially the trout. Just wow. The beef with the potato made you feel at home with a touch of uniqueness. The dessert was perfectly balanced with some of the best blueberries ever. So glad we picked this restaurant for our night out in NY.“

“Great meal. Good selection of appetizers. The Finocchio had a fresh lemony flavor with olives and provolone cheese. The merluzzo (cod) was cooked perfectly with potatoes, and a broccolini. The Paccheri (pasta) was al dente. Tried the gelati and biscotti for dessert and was not disappointed. The meal was excellent and our server was attentive. Lively atmosphere yet able to have a conversation at our table. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Awesome pizza and friendly service!“

“Excellent food, each item special“

“Went for dinner for birthday. The staff was really nice and attentive. The atmosphere was nice as well with all the greenery but plants were fake. The candle smells in the restroom area was refreshing. The food was great but as with all fine dining was not enough at the time but along with dessert, we were all full so I guess it was enough and still delicious. Apps were the grilled octopus and the scallops. Mains was the chicken and halibut.“

“Delicious food. Small portions so order a lot. Point is to share !!“

“Great food. Great presentation. Very attentive service!“

“Coming from Minnesota, I've only heard about David Chang's restaurants. I had the Garlic Chicken Ramen and my wife had the Asparagus special of the day. Both were excellent in both taste and presentation. Well worth the trip and surprisingly affordable.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Had a wonderful evening on October 4th at the Surf and Turf event! Many thanks to Marc Forgione and Dave Pasternack for creating such a wonderful menu collaboration. Catching up with friends at this dining destination was a welcome diversion in this crazy world!“

“Cool place and enjoy the food, drink , enironment.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Since it opened, I've come here a few times for the occasional work dinner or special occasion. Revisited Marc Forgione for the first time in a while and I can say it never disappoints me. The food and service are consistently and reliably exceptional. It's difficult to choose a favorite dish. The meal seems to get better and better with each course, but the highlights were sun choke and caviar special, Hiramasa and the Halibut.“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“This place is fantastic! Been following them on instagram for a while and finally got to experience this culinary gem. You must make a reservation! A while in advance too. We did the tasting menu for $109/each. This included 4 apps and 4 pastas. The insalata, maiale (pork belly), and suppli were delicious. There was another seasonal app with asparagus that was very refreshing and tasty. For pastas we got the garganelli, trofie, agnolotti and carbonara. The agnolotti and carbonara were the best of the four. The dishes aren't huge, portions are a good size. Both desserts were so good. The service was attentive but not pushy or overwhelming. Server was great.“

“Loved everything about it! We sat at the bar, Justin was fantastic. Friendly people and great food!! Highly recommend.“

“It's easy to put labels like fusion or new asian American it's different when you see and taste and feel what it all means, and that's what I found out in my first bite. It's either scallion pancake elevates into French pastry, or tartare acts like dumplings, something different but they also feel they should be together for a long time. It's a magical flavor.“

“great place located in Brooklyn. come out and support!“

“Great taco selection for brunch with the tortillas being the start of the show. I thought the cocktails were even better and made fresh with a bunch of variety. Recommend making a reservation just to keep things easy but was pretty casual during a Saturday afternoon. One regret was not trying the doughnuts ?“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Arrived alongside a party of 7, and here’s my impression: The establishment impressed me so much that a return visit is certain. Among the highlights were the delightful Brussel sprouts appetizer and the exceptional pho. The seating arrangements were particularly accommodating for our sizable group, and the service proved notably prompt.Vegetarian options: Several of their menu items, particularly the noodle dishes, are available for consumption without meat choices.“

“Some of the best pizza in NYC. Make sure you have a reservation, though.“

“Another fantastic dinner at PS Kitchen. Highly recommend the Thai Chili wings, crabby cakes and Brussel Sprouts. Our table also had the Linguini Alfredo, Cesar wrap and the Thai Sweet Chili Sandwich. We didn’t like the pretzel bun but otherwise everything was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are friendly and we did not feel rushed. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.“

“Great food. Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“authentic! great presentations and great flavors“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“Great food and service and friendly staff.“

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“We all came here because this place is NYC Chinatown First Dim Sum since 1920 . Inside the restaurant look cozy and feel like home . The food is good in the traditional way because the portions are big not like other dimsum place their portions smaller which i prefer so you can try different dishes. They bring you your order in the old way not people push cart around . That’s the difference, but im happy that i tried this place.“

“Very good definitely worth the visit if you're in Manhattan.“

“What a beautiful view while you are eating some delicious food! The place feels modern and perfect to enjoy with cocktails. You truly are above the city. As for food, it was all pretty good. Milk bread is super delicious with its golden brown tops and soft fluffiness. Get this. Yuzu tart could use a bit more yuzu flavor. Colada is quite delicious and it's so fitting to order drinks given the vibe of the restaurant. The service was quite friendly. The view from the lounge is very nice and the elevator up is an experience! Highly recommend.“

“Great food drinks and service!“

“I great food and service. High quality land authentic.“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“Last night We came to eat at Mission Ceviche for the first time and we left very happy for the incredible quality of food and service. 100% recommended with a tremendous desire to return soon. Good service and everyone very friendly I had a very wonderful birthday.“
