27 Best Vegan Restaurants in West Hartford

“I have dined here multiple times. It is always an elevated experience. Cora Cora is a good introduction to Peruvian food. Some of the dishes have adjusted flavor profiles and others are firmly rooted in their origin. A good place for newcomers to enjoy their first dive into Peruvian cooking.“

“Incredible experience eating here!!! We have a lot of dietary restrictions and usually have issues finding food to eat but our waitress Venisa and Chef Louis were absolutely amazing and were able to customize MORE than enough food for us, on a Saturday evening no less. Not only that, the food was to die for - especially the hummus, whipped feta, and grilled Haloumi over coals. Best Mediterranean food my family and I have ever had!! Would come here again 10000%Dietary restrictions: Jain options available (no onion, no garlic): hummus, grilled halloumi, whipped feta, labneh, etc.“

“Had a bowl delivery that was great only issue was that it said on its way but took longer than expected and it was a little melted. Overall it was great.Parking: It’s located basically in the center so parking is limited on the street. A lot of restaurants in the area.“

“Greeted right away. We sat in seconds and our very friendly waitress took our drink and app order in a minute. Our drinks and food came out right away with a team of kitchen staff. Restaurant manager was circling the dining area, checking on everything. We loved our food and it was prepared to order. We were a party of 7 and we were never rushed. We will be dining here again when we are in the area.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered a cheeseburger and when we got it, you can tell that they prepared it with fresh ground beef we were impressed. Everything was a little pricey but they justified it by how delicious and fresh the food was I will definitely go back again.“

“GastroPark's staff is exceptional! Their attention to detail shines through in their impeccable service, cleanliness, and delicious food. The addition of food trucks offers a diverse culinary experience, and the pet-friendly atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to enjoy with your furry friend.“

“My wife and I had our first dinner at Vinted Wine Bar tonight. My wife has had a good amount of experience at Vinted, but it was my first time there. Top to bottom... TRULY EXCELLENT!! We shared a nice bottle of Daou Cab while sitting at the bar, and started with the Whipped Hummus, with Crispy Scallion Cake. Best Hummus you'll ever eat, and the warm crispy thin cake slices are very delicious with the Hummus. Terrific! Then we split and shared 2 entrees: The Chicken Milanese, and the Vinted Prime Burger. Both, also super delicious. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared by the talented crew in the kitchen lead by the executive chef, and partner, Mike Voight. Ate every bite of everything. Lastly, for desert we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. Holy cow, that is one incredible desert. Our bartender Chris was very helpful, friendly, and although busy had time to talk with us. And we found all the staff, extremely personable. Mike has a finely tuned ship in Vinted. We'll be back. #impressed“

“First time there with a friend had a great waitress gave excellent service and was well knowledgeable about everything on the menun and drinks. The food was amazing so shout out to the chefs in the kitchen every thing came out good and exactly how it was ordered... Keep up the GREAT WORK... DEFINITELY WILL BE COMING BACK...“

“Great experience for the 1st time going to sparrow pizza Bar had some mozzarella sticks personalized pizza with pepperoni. Both things were excellent love it love. The pizza thin crust excellent taste Mozzarella sticks were out of this world, And the meatballs were excellent also. The customer service was Excellent. Nick Our server was on point with everything we ask thanks nick.“

“Our meals were all very good. Our waitress was very friendly and good. It was very crowded and ordering, getting drinks and so on was rather slow but I'm sure it was due to how busy they were. The pop-up dinners they have been offering are an amazing value for delicious food.“

“We came down from Vermont for my highschool reunion and met up with some classmates at ZSP. The pies came out quick and they were amazing! This is not Dominoes, there are no boring pizza's here. They're made with local ultra fresh produce and meats. Do not miss out on the dipping sauces. Honey Siracha, that's definitely the one you want. Our server was amazing. She was super friendly and incredibly patient. The owner, after his long day, could have kicked us out when it was time to close, but he said we could hangout on the patio instead. We can't wait to come back!“

“Great service, atmosphere, and most importantly - amazing food! Highly recommend the scallion pancake roll with twice cooked pork, it was so good and our favorite dish. Dan Dan noodles also great. I'll be back to try the bao, the soup dumplings were good but not my favorite.“

“100% recommend if you have not eaten this type of food before please step out of your comfort zone everything was delicious I came here today for my birthday dinner before a concert with my two friends and was not disappointed! I will definitely be back“

“One of the best food places in west Hartford. Truly impressed with the chef’s talent. The flatbread was phenomenal- we got the wild mushroom which is drizzled in truffle dressing. An absolute must try, one of the best flatbreads I’ve had. The couscous is a staple and delicious but the prize went to the duck confit and wild mushroom ravioli. So much flavor, and the ingredients compliment each other very well in this dish. The only somewhat down side is that it is a smaller space, so you may require a reservation“

“Love this gem in West Hartford! Went to lunch here with family, and I had al pastor enchiladas with green sauce - amazing!The atmosphere is lovely with the Frida Kahlo theme. The service was prompt and efficient. A strong recommendation if you are in the Elmwood area.“

“BEST RAMEN I EVER HAD! BEST PORK BAO I EVER HAD AND BEST FOOD I EVER TASTED. I can't even get mad at the price of it because it was that good and that worth it. I am most likely to come back, I seek quality of food overall things and I criticize food as a hobby, this food is so good I can't even criticize it, I can't describe it other that MAGNIFICENT, DELICIOUS, AND WONDERFUL.“

“We loved this place! Authentic Chinese food - Stephanie. The Chengdu dumplings and cold rabbit appetizers were fantastic! my son had the crisp pork belly, and I had the sliced smoked duck. Soooooo delicious! Can't wait to bring the hubs here.“

“Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!Dietary restrictions: Many options for strict vegans and gluten allergies.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu!“

“My wife and I had brunch here recently. The interior and atmosphere was amazing complete with cool photos, a bull's head decoration, and great music! The chorizo and ham with cheese was great, and I loved the perfect olive oil pancakes, and the desserts were soooo good, my wife loved the lava cake and I enjoyed the burnt cheesecake! I would definitely rate this place 10/10! If you can't make it to Barcelona, at least try this awesome authentic Spanish dining and bar experience!“

“Huge pho selection and really generous portion sizes. Also a lot of other menu options and drinks — durian milkshake! I didn’t order it but was surprised to see that. They also have bubble tea and different types of spring rolls — we got pork and shrimp, delicious. Very quick and attentive service and clean dining area. Went at kind of a weird time on a Saturday afternoon and there were plenty of customers.Vegetarian options: There’s an entire vegetarian section on the menu.“

“Even if the food wasn't good, the service is a delight. A young girl seated us and waiting on us and was there for our every need. A lady, presumably the owner or someone as responsible, took our order and was able to make suggestions according to what we knew we liked. She even upsold me a dessert we didn't know we wanted and needed.The food was exactly what we wanted - healthful and flavorful and executed really well. The falafel was the most moist I had ever had and I hate to use the word fresh because of how it gets thrown around ..but everything was fresh and made in house.We're not from Connecticut, but we'll go out of our way to come back if we're coming down the road.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this food truck and the wonderful people that run it! Owners are sweet, kind and caring. I had the lobster roll and clam strip roll. My boyfriend had the spicy fries and fried pickles (he’s vegan). The lobster roll was out of this world! So delicious, warm and buttery! I was amazed at how much lobster meat they included! Clam strip roll was pretty delicious and the sides my boyfriend ordered were so yummy! Cannot wait to try the lobster grilled cheese next time. Thank you Lobster Tales for a wonderful experience! Do yourself a favor and try them out! You won’t regret it!UPDATE: I tried the Lobster Grilled Cheese and wow! Wow, wow, wow! What a blessing for my taste buds! They are geniuses! Years and plenty of trips later, I stand true to my word! The food is incredible, the staff is kind and it’s an experience you won’t forget!! You’re probably thinking, it’s just a food truck, it’s not a big deal. It IS a big deal! Not only are you blessed with delicious lobster rolls that are overflowing with lobster meat along with delicious sides and yummy soda, you are also met with the kindest owners and staff who treat you like family and like one of their own! I even had a chance to talk to the owner because she decided to take time out of her day to approach me and thank me for the kind words that I had mentioned as I grabbed my food. How often do you get that?? I am and will forever be a Lobster Tales food truck fan and have been telling everyone I know about them! They truly are too good to be true! I’m just so grateful to have experienced their kindness and enjoyed their ridiculously delicious food! They are worth the drive! Please try them out! ❤️ ❤️Btw, I have driven across state lines and have taken long trips JUST to enjoy their food. They are THAT good! You won’t regret it! Dietary restrictions: When we first tried them out, my boyfriend was vegan and they were super accommodating all while serving the most delicious and fresh food for him! He was beyond pleased! They are amazing!“

“I'm officially a big fan of Artisan and Chef Michael. Chef Michael catered a film we filmed in West Hartford and did a great job, so I thought it would be nice to take my wife to Artisan for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The service and presentation was amazing and the specials were delicious. We will definitely return. Artisan has just made my top 5 list for fine dining in CT. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“We loved this place! Authentic Chinese food - Stephanie. The Chengdu dumplings and cold rabbit appetizers were fantastic! my son had the crisp pork belly, and I had the sliced smoked duck. Soooooo delicious! Can't wait to bring the hubs here.“

“Not your typical take out! They offer gluten free items and flexibility for allergies. We drive over 45 mins just to come here. I've never had an issue, and I am pretty sensitive today gluten. Always a family hit. Not a lot of seating. It's more like your typical take out place. We always dine in because we drive so far .Dietary restrictions: They seem to get it! We have gluten, dairy and pepper allergies/intolerances. Gluten free items are marked, but you can also request items to be gluten free too. (Not everything, but a good percent of the menu). They swapped out bell peppers for me without a problem. Staff was friendly. I would suggest that if you get something that was automatically gluten free, just remind them you have an allergy, just to be careful.Parking: Parking is right in front. It's a tiny strip mall a ways away from the center of West hartford. I've never had a hard time parking, but it does seem limited.Kid-friendliness: Staff have always been super amazing with my kids. Alternative food options for picky eaters too. I would just warn there's a magnet on the soda fridge that says a cuss word, Incase you are sensitive to that.Wheelchair accessibility: Probably not the easiest, but not impossible. I wouldn't recommend eating in, as all tables seem higher than bar height“

“Richard is the best employee I have ever interacted with at Pokeworks. I first met him at the Pokeworks in Glastonbury. After they closed, I was thrilled to see him working at the West Hartford location. Richard is always extremely polite, accommodating, and has the BEST attitude all the time. Thank you Richard!“

“Haven’t been here in a while and my friend was taking me for lunch for my birthday. First and foremost our waitress Dawn was one of the most amazing waitress I ever had. She was so attentive and great sense of humor. Got our orders right out to us and the food was fantastic! The prices reasonable and I will be going back A+“
