50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Chester

“Newly found gem! Great pizza! Highly recommend!“

“Honestly originally came here thinking it was a typical tavern. Left having one of the best food experiences I have ever had! The food was amazing and so perfectly prepared I have been back countless times since and am always recommending them to friends and family. Definitely need to fit in a date night here really soon!!!“

“Our favorite brewery to go to in the entire State of Connecticut. The beers are always rotating with various selections, and all taste great. The tap room is an awesome place to hang out and meet friends, and the staff is the friendliest and most knowledgeable we have met. The location in downtown Chester is very neat and the brewery is surrounded by different types of restaurants for all kinds of appetites. Highly recommend this small Brewery for a once in a lifetime experience.“

“The service was excellent. Cocktails were elevated, unique, and presented beautifully. 3 of our 4 meals were excellent and priced fairly. The steak dinner was the only disappointment. The cut of meat for a Prime Cut NY Strip Steak was too marbled and fatty. It felt more like a Ribeye Cut than a Strip and for $60 was a disappointment. The pasta dishes surpassed any past dish of any restaurant along the shoreline and the Roast Pork dinner from the trattoria menu was cooked to perfection. We will definitely visit again and won't order steak where the pasta is hand made.“

“Five professional motor cycle riders who eat in a lot of food at different stops were very satisfied. Great prices/ great quality/ good quantity/fast service/ great waitress/ clean modern seating and restrooms/ ample free parking. Its now on our favorite list. Thank you for serving us so well!!“

“1st time there food was really good and pricec where not bad even though they didn't match the menu... guess I should have read the notice on the door. will go back.“

“Hungry after a few hours at Gillette Castle, we were looking for lunch/dinner. We had a wonderful experience at Pattaconk! Our waitress was friendly and attentive to my dietary needs (Celiac’s). We had a burger, quesadilla & Nashville chicken stripes. My burger had a gf bun & was delicious, husb & daughter loved the stripes & quesadilla. Restaurant had a nice, chill atmosphere, everyone enjoying drinks & food. We will be back when out in the area.“

“Had a great meal as always at Liv's! We love the food and service. When we arrived it was a little chilly, we notified our server we were cold and it seemed others were too and he requested the manager increase the temperature a little. After that, everything was perfect! One little nitpick is the tables are very sticky. We noticed it last time too. Not sure whether the coating failed or what. They were not ‘dirty' just sticky. Other than that, the food was amazing. My wife and daughter both had a Halibut special. My daughter had the cauliflower soup which I tried and it was spectacular! I had the tuna tartare and a ribeye and they did not disappoint! Certainly am amazing meal and great service. Thanks Liv's!“

“Incredible, innovative, creative, fresh fine dining experience.“

“My office ordered take out for lunch one day, and its been our favorite place since! Three visits later, and its been fantastic, delicious, fresh food and friendly service each time!“

“All I can say is WOW! Madeline served us, cooked our food and it was incredible! Loved the small-town feeling and great hospitality! We will be back!“

“4 of us had brunch on Mother's Day and it was very busy so our food took a bit longer than usual. My grandson had the burger which can't be beat. Awesome sandwich! my daughters both had the grilled cheese and one loved it while the other not so much because it had onions in it. The pomme frites are amazing. I had the asparagus soup and spring salad. Both were excellent. I thought 27$ was a bit high but it was a wonderful burger and came with pomme frites and salad.“

“We were so impressed by Deb's restaurant and Cynthia, our waitress. the food was spectacular. we had breakfast this morning and the pancakes were enormous, eggs done perfectly and such a nice atmosphere. We will be back!!!“

“Ordered a LG. meatball pizza. The under carriage was cooked to perfection. It had a nice combination of cheese and meatballs and charred just right. The owners were cordial and pleasant. Highly recommended!“

“Was a great breakfast for decent price and atmosphere“

“Always fast service & a great breakfast!“

“Love it so very much. Food is excellent“

“The pizza is the best I’ve had East of the Connecticut River. It can get busy & the waitstaff must hustle to keep the takeout line, tables, phone, & register moving. Worth the drive from East Hampton.“

“My wife & I have been enjoying MANY weekday meals at TJ'S for more than several years. And I can honestly say that we have, not only enjoyed the food we ordered, but, more importantly, the caring and attentive staff that we have dealt with over those years. We could more highly recommend this restaurant as a place for you to enjoy a good meal!!“

“Awesome place!! Service was great.“

“Came all the way from Ohio for some New Haven style pizza and this one didn't disappoint! Friendly staff and reasonably priced! Highly recommend!!!“

“Best services with friendly staff“

“I’ve been thinking about Jia Mei’s dry cooked food. Today I tried the 5 Spice prawns which was served of a bed of warm lettuce, red peppers, and fresh sliced chilis. It was delicious, flavorful, colorful, and spicy. This cooking technique is a style of Chinese cooking which is hard to find on the shoreline. Yum!“

“It’s our go to place for a great start to our weekends!! The owner is wonderful and her staff is amazing.“

“I had the Southern Fried Chicken and Leslie had the BBQ Fried Chicken. Lucky (our dog) was treated to some bacon and water for his 8th birthday by our waitress who couldn’t be nicer. Nice find!“

“Fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch. Please be aware that the space itself is very small, however, the food is fantastic and the service time does not dwindle no matter how busy it gets. I absolutely would recommend the Apple brûlée French toast and the Lobster Benedict.“

“I celebrated my birthday at the Seal tonight. We haven't been in a while. I had the Short Rib Ravioli, Mom had the Serloin Steak, my wife had Tuna and our son a grilled cheese. Everything was delicious! Our server said she was new, but did a great job. We finished with warm Carmel apple pie! It was the perfect ending to a great night!“

“My husband took me for the Mother's Day brunch and oh my goodness, it was the best ever. My only regret is that I didn't have more room in my stomach for all the amazing food. The guy at the omelette station was super nice. The views are gorgeous, and after brunch we played on the beach with my daughter. I can't wait to come back!“

“So happy I found this place! Super friendly and warm family owned restaurant that is very accommodating. As someone with several allergies, it’s not always easy to find quality, safe food. This was not a problem at all here.The GF millet bread was worth the visit alone! I will be returning.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, seed oil free optionsThey were happy to accommodate“

“WBP is a go-to for easy pickup on my way home from work for me. All of the ladies who work the front do a great job & the food never disappoints! I’ve tried pretty much everything, but my favorite is the chicken club grinder. The overall aesthetic is clean(!), fun & eye catching. They have slices of pizza readily available, a salad bar & soft serve ice cream. Definitely recommend!Dietary restrictions: GF pizza dough available“

“Great place ! Stopped on our way back home to Mass! Great service ,food and atmosphere!“

“Had a wonderful birthday meal. It was the day before St. Patrick's Day so the specials were Irish oriented. My husband had the whiskey honey glazed salmon which he said was very tasty. My daughter had the traditional corned beef and cabbage and my son had Shepard's pie. Not much was left to bring home in doggie bags. Lots of nice wood paneling inside and we were seated near the fireplace. The grandkids even enjoyed it.Parking: The restaurant is right off of Route 9 in Old Saybrook. There is parking in both the front and the back of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Walk up ramp for a cess to front door and outdoor seating when the weather is nice.“

“33 Years in the same place, same staff, they must be doing something right, Great prices on excellent food. I've read the reviews from people that have given it 1 star. These must be people that can only accept 5 star service, and everything else is 1 star. I understand some of the things you complained about, and maybe you did have a valid point, but 1 star, and to imply that the waitress was suffering from dementia, come on, grow up. If you made reasonable criticisms, and rated fairly, people would take you seriously, but you just make yourselves look mean and vindictive. All over an undercooked omelette, etc.“

“I wish I could give Lenny & Joe's 10 stars! I LOVE Lenny & Joe's. I now live out of state & can not get fresh seafood that I like (cod & scrod). EVERY time I come home to Connecticut, I ALWAYS make my 1st & last stop. YES, I stop here 2 times more if I can LOL. Thank you Lenny & Joe's for being the BEST restaurant in the WORLD!- HAPPIEST CUSTOMER EVER“

“Amazing food every single time!! Beautiful hidden jewel in Westbrook CT!!!“

“Everything was delicious as always yesterday for our superbowl party. Thank you so much!“

“Such a wonderful and cool place! Welcoming atmosphere with people who enjoy working there. They have a garden in the back and grow some of their own food. Those cherry tomatoes were the best I ever had! I normally don’t even like them. Their coffee and lattes are top notch. The baked goods are amazing also. I was there yesterday, they had a chocolate peanut butter cupcake and lavender shortbread, both delicious! Everything is reasonably priced too, this place can’t be beat. 11/10 recommend“

“Great service and food! A lovely atmosphere and attentive staff.“

“Excellent service, the atmosphere so beautiful.Our calzone was more than enough for two(we brought home half of it).The soups were delicious, perfect for a cold winter day, 1) spinach and 2)lentil-barley.Definitely we'll go back one day!“

“Love Maria’s-food always good including breakfast! The owners are always very sweet and service is excellent. A hidden gem in my opinion. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed 😋“

“? GET A BURRITO ?Alright, here’s the deal. I’m a gigantic shill for DRP, all my friends know it. Something about their pizza does it for me, favorite style, super well done for that particular style, and it’s relatively affordable.I also love their subs, all of them. Shout out to the steak bomb and the TKO (chicken bacon ranch, honey mustard, mozzarella).They’re quick, the people are always SUPER SUPER SUPER friendly, and food comes out hot.But here’s the deal… they need a rebrand.I’ve seen burritos on the menu there for years and never thought to get one. With that said, nothing about this place screams “Greek” to me besides the font on the menu and the Ακρόπολις on the logo (alright maybe a few of the specialty pizzas - moussaka and town hall, I see you. Gyros, ολα εν ταξη, relax.)Tonight I finally did it, I got the carne asada burrito that they had on special and it blew my socks off. For $12 (market rate for the area IMO) you get a huge burrito, wrapped and easy to eat, no dripping, they grilled it, tons of steak and avocado. Man oh man, it hit the spot and I’m just so happy I could cry.Deep River Pizza Mexican. I don’t know if anyone that works there is Mexican, I don’t know if burritos are inherently Mexican, I don’t know what I don’t know and I want to be better.What I do know is that people need to know about this.Chester, Deep River, Essex is grossly devoid of a Mexican spot that’s open late BUT this is at least maybe Mexican adjacent and open late enough for me (9 pm weekdays, 10pm weekends).Get down to Deep River Pizza (Mexican?) and get yourself a burrito. You’re going to be mad that nobody told you to do it before.I am thrilled.?Parking: Learn to parallel park in beautiful Deep River!Kid-friendliness: Bring your kids, it’s a casual pizza place.Wheelchair accessibility: Once you get on the sidewalk, which is accessible, the door is flush.“

“Love, love the food and staff of this fabulous breakfast lunch restaurant!Great specials. The sausage and biscuits best in CT.The homemade muffins and breads out of this world! My favorite is the Cinnabon bread. Yum!Outdoor seating if you have a dog with you.Right on Main St, Deep River if you want to pop in one of the local stores after very nice unique gifts and clothing.“

“Moodus DaVinci - Okay, as if I haven't spammed the internet enough already about this place, I HAVE to post about my wrap. I got the Chipotle Steak wrap. It was a decent size portion. I saved half for lunch today. The best part? it was JUST as delicious upon reheat as it was last night!!! it wasn't soggy. It did not fall apart. Most importantly, it was so so good!!! There's nothing I would have added or taken away. I can't wait to get it again! Since I haven't left a review on this page specifically yet, I'll add that the wings here are phenomenal!! There's many kinds but garlic parm is my fav. So, if you're looking for a good wing spot in this neck of the woods - look no further!“

“We drove down to the shore from Western CT on a perfect late Soring evening. The restaurant was able to seat us 45 minutes ahead of our reservation. We enjoyed a wonderful seafood dinner (swordfish/ cioppolino) which was excellent . Thanks for a wonderful anniversary dinner.“

“While the food isn’t 5 star, the service and atmosphere are off the charts. We sat outside under the string lights with the firepit. Great music was playing, the staff was friendly and service was fast. I didn’t finish a drink before the next one was served. Hope was absolutely AMAZING! What a fantastic waitress. Request her if you can! We enjoyed our date night so much more because of her.“

“real fresh d fashioned food. good quality and great price. service was great as well“

“Was told about this place by a friend when asked a good breakfast place. Came in and two different areas of seating. There are very many items to choose from. They have breakfast but also lunch items. I seriously didn't know what to choose, too many options. I looked at their 40 different options of pancakes and thought I definitely should try them. They came out as a very large pancake, as large as the plate. I got blueberry but could've chosen many different combinations. We ordered hashbrowns and eggs as a side. The blueberry pancake was filled with blueberries. Everything was delicious and the waitress was very pleasant. Definitely can't wait to come back and choose a different combination pancake. The prices weren't even that bad. When ordering water, not free, they charge you for bottled water.“

“Thai place has excellent pizza and entertainment for the kids. There are two large displays of model trains upstairs. It’s fun to take the shoreline east train service there and back to get lunch or dinner.Kid-friendliness: We go to this restaurant so the kids are entertained. They can look at the train models and watch the real trains on the TV screens thT show the train tracks.“
