33 Best Vegan Restaurants near Carefree

“Terras offered great vegan and plant-based dishes. I was so happy with the seasoning, the different and creative combinations of flavors. My favorite was the butternut squash carpaccio. The subtle citrus flavor, perfectly blended with a hint of sweetness and saltiness, just a beautiful dish! The mushroom bolognese was super amazing, it chose a light tomato sauce that was refreshing, with slight acidic flavor coming through from the tomatoes, combined with the umami of the mushrooms and the deep flavor created by the walnuts; the tagliatelle was sooooo yummy, perfectly al dente! The seared scallops were perfectly cooked, the charred broccolini and the creamy sauce combined with the scallops so well! Also had the protein bowl for lunch, the jackfruit was seasoned so well and the entire bowl was super healthy yet flavorful, making a very satiating and satisfying meal. Everything at Terras was healthy, beautifully and creatively flavored. Love everything about it!“

“My wife and I frequent Carefree Coffee almost weekly. Besides excellent hand crafted beverages the food menu is unique and excellent. The staff are always friendly. Price wise you’re spending the same at a corporate shop (you know the one) so I would rather my money stay local and receive fresh hand crafted coffee and food.“

“The service was fantastic. When the owner offered red eggs and Easter bread I was thrilled and flabbergasted! We will definitely be back time and time again!Kid-friendliness: My nephew's baby was calm and content with the atmosphere. My niece was relaxed nursing and caring for her baby.“

“Breakfast & lunch always 5-stars for food & for the incredible service. Wait staff always there to check on food & to refill coffee cups. Delicious breakfast & lunch meals in a friendly, beautiful & homey atmosphere—you can enjoy your meal inside or outside & then take a leisurely walk around the the lovely Carefree shops. Our favorite restaurant in Carefree!“

“We met friends that we hadn't seen for two years and had a very pleasurable lunch. The meal was good. I believe everyone was happy with the food. The waiter seemed to want to hurry us along. That was somewhat annoying. Aside from that we enjoyed our time at Venue's Cafe.“

“Food was delicious as always and service was great, especially on a busy Mother's Day evening. The lower patio was full with everyone happily talking and laughing and enjoying their meal. They had a musician to make the evening special but with him singing and and everyone engaged in conversation, it became unusually noisy and hard to hear each other. We have vegans in our family and totally appreciate the fact that Pizzicata offers vegan options and vegan cheese. Pizzicata is our ‘go to' restaurant!“

“From the veal soup to the slow cooked lamb shank, everything is made from scratch. You can taste the authenticity. The pita bread is unlike any other and perfect with the Cevapi sausages and roasted red pepper sauce....our favorite. And don't forget to try a freshly prepared dessert or two. On our last visit, we were served after the noontime rush and the owner had a moment to sit and visit at our mostly Croation table. She shared with us her passion for creating these dishes and explained how it truly comes from her heart. This is a small family-owned business (she proudly introduced her grandson, son, and daughter-in-law) and exactly the kind of restaurant we enjoy supporting. We highly recommend one of our favorite dining experiences in Phoenix!“

“LAMP is simply the best wood fired pizza in the valley. It’s exceptional.“

“Love all of the different choices without being overwhelming. Burgers are phenomenal. Never thought I would spend this much on a burger but I notice that many burger restaurants are at the same price point. I think this is a better value. And service is always great, fun and professional.“

“I've been to Cave Creek but was first time trying them out! I just ordered to go after a hike I did and I couldn't remember if I ordered my lemonade. I went back to tell the girl and I was carrying my son and the food and she said don't even worry either way and got me one right then and there!! So nice and the food was amazing!! Tried the carne asada tacos! LOVED.“

“Good service, friendly atmosphere and good food“

“Excellent lamb chops. Went here for the first time. Tuesday around 7pm. They were busy but No wait. Seated immediately. Prompt service, friendly waitress who suggested the lamb chops. Atmosphere was very pleasant. This was 5 stars. Perfect experience.“

“Always a good time at El Encanto. We went on Cinco de Mayo, and it was very busy, but everything ran smoothly.Our service was fantastic. I had accidentally spilled my beer at one point (totally my fault), and our waitress gave me a new one. Super nice of her.“

“3 Regions Vietnamese Kitchen has excellent Vietnamese fare. The Bun bo hue ( Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) is very good. The one thing keeping this dish from a 10/10 is the broth. I wish it was more spicy and aromatic. The chicken wings are also very good, always crispy, and the sauce is perfectly balanced. They also offer wide range of beverages from teas to beer , I like the Vietnamese coffee its very strong. Service is very friendly and attentive. I would recommend 3 Regions to anyone in the area!“

“Excellent food service and fair prices“

“Good choices in pancakes and man are they big but not thick, awesome.“

“The food the incredible. We had the Red Curry chicken and Pad Thai Beef. Make sure to ask for the chile sauce for some spice. Our new go to Thai restaurant. After, go next door to the coffee shop and bar that play live music every day of the year.“

“A cool burger joint run out of an old gas station. The burgers, fries, rings,and cheese curds were all excellent.Vegetarian options: NopeParking: No problemKid-friendliness: 100%Wheelchair accessibility: Might be a little tricky here and there, but you can make it work.“

“I can't believe I have driven past this place so many times to go eat somewhere else. Burgers are great here. Service was quick. Beers were cold. Live music. A lot of outdoor seating. Cave Creek eating on a patio during spring or fall is the best.“

“Great food, great place and friendly staff!“

“The staff was friendly and courteous. Our table was located on the lower patio where we had a beautiful view of the golf course and surrounding mountains. The service was perfect. We ordered pressed arugula salad , salmon and a delicious lemon meringue dessert Everything was delicious and presented beautifully. Looking forward to returning for another delicious dining experience! Thank you Tonto Bar and Grill owners and staff!“

“The gelato was so good! If I can't be in Italy, this is the next best thing!“

“Think Jersey. They have the look, too. Packed when we went, and that did not deter the experience, in fact, it added to it. It's a busy place. The food was very good as well. It meets my criteria, and I will be returning. If you want quiet, this is not your spot. They have a very big menu too. 5 stars for us, but we love spots like this.“

“Fantastic food, fantastic service plus a beautiful restaurant equals a terrific experience. First time patron, will definitely be back, and will happily recommend to friends & family. See you soon!“

“Went to Al Hamra today with a group of 8 and it was clean, spacious and had an amazing vibe. The food was to die for. We had the lamb dish, chicken Tikka masala, butter naan, ginger chicken and amazing samosas. The food was exquisite and the customer service was above and beyond. My favorite was their tea at the end of the night. It's a half milk and half tea combination and it was delicious. The owner made us feel so welcome and he was so hospitable. I will definitely be going back to support this business and highly recommend it.“

“If you like legit, New York style pizza with zero flop, this place is for you. I am a big fan of very hot pizza and also a crust that is firm that does not flop at all and Ray's fits the bill perfectly here. They sell by the pie and by the slice and have a very doable lunch special.Vegetarian options: Salads and other vegetarian options.Parking: Located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: A nearby ramp is available.“

“Most delicious Greek food ever.“

“I had the chance to meet Bryan, the owner and culinary genius, behind this amazing hidden gem. He was an absolute pleasure to talk to. All the recipes used here are a special proprietary blend ingredients Bryan himself perfected over his years spent in the kitchen. Unfortunately for all us foodies out there, I'm sad to say he will be retiring quite soon. There will, however, be another BBQ pit taking over the location. They will be hard pressed to live up to the amazing food and great atmosphere Bryan's has provided Cave Creek over these past years. Bryan's will definitely be missed by this foodie.“

“The next time I need a large group event I am going back toOreganos in Cave Creek. Mike Escobeds and server Jennifer made it a memorable in every area and everyone in the group was impressed by ALL THEY DID. Hats off to this store and staff please give them a try!“

“We had a great evening at Proof with friends last night. Though Very crowded, the staff kept up a quick pace with good service, attention and continuous smiles. The new menu has some good items and we never pass up the pretzel knots. Though there was a big crowd, the acoustics are just right so that we could hear ourselves and enjoy good conversation with the good meals. Thank you hostesses, servers, kitchen and clean up staff!“

“Amazing bbq (pulled pork tacos sweet mamas sauce) the best ever. Great service good vibes. Fun hang out and great pool tables“

“Had a huge order for a very large work group. We ordered a bunch of everything, and all the pizza tasted great, especially the mega meat. It was ready when we needed it and everyone was very nice. Some of the best pizzas I have ever had, and lots of the same comments from our group.“

“After not going to this location for a month noticed that everybody was new, and there was only one server that we knew. She was wonderful as usual and right on task. For the rest of the people that were there, which were another five or more. They did nothing, but stand around and talk, one girl played with her hair behind the counter for the entire time we were there. Very disappointing to be sitting there and witnessing this incompetence of work. Of course they were not busy because it was early on a Sunday. But that doesn't mean that you stand around and do nothing there's always something to do. I hope the owner sees this post, because I have a picture of exactly what they were doing nothing .“
