50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Melbourne Beach

“This was a great pizza place! Me and my boyfriend ordered the garlic knots, 2 slices of the day, the Chicken Parmesan, and a red velvet cake. Christy, our server, was super kind and fast with the service! They even split the Chicken Parmesan order in half for us so we didn’t have too.“

“Just left this wonderful breakfast place. I submitted an online pickup order, but changed my mind and wanted to eat inside. They accommodated me and I got my order in less than one minute. We ordered French toast and an omelette. It was fresh, warm and delicious. Sometimes simple recipes are the best and that's why this place is great. I can't wait to go back.“

“Don't let the atmosphere rating fool you it is a nice cozy place beachside. The food and service are hands down some of the best you can get in the area. I'm from Maryland so I'm particularl about my crab cakes. While not an exact rendition it was a Maryland style crab that and only know of one other place with a good crab cake around here in Melbourne/ Melbourne Beach area. The sticky duck wings were tasty, crispy and sticky good. Lasagna Pizza was amazing with a fresh crust and all the makings of a nice lasagna one of my favorite meals. I think the sandwich was called a Which came first? Being there is egg and chicken on it was nice and tender with a huge egg yolk that you can see in the video popped and drizzled nicely on the plate so I could dip it in rightfully so.“

“What a gem of a find we found. We were looking for a caterer for our Mother's surprise birthday celebration for 40 people. The food was magnificent! All of our guests were asking who was the caterer. They all said they were going to go there! I hope they get a lot more business from our people. Well deserved praises for Cerrato's Italian Market! Food was delicious and they were so accommodating!“

The atmosphere was wonderful! We had Alyssa— who has the best personality!! She is one of few people who we really enjoyed talking to! Highly recommended!!“

“Islands Fish Grill is a small, quaint restaurant with fantastic food and service. I had the Onion Crusted catch of the day (which happened to be Almaco Jack) as part of their 3-course daily special. My first course was a cup of their white fish chowder. It was so good that I could have had that for my main course. The Onion Crusted fish is their specialty and it did not disappoint. The Almaco Jack was prepared to perfection. Key Lime Pie was my dessert. My wife's Crab Cake Entree was very good as well. Their fried spinach was unique.Service was excellent, the best. From entering the restaurant to getting to our table to having our drinks to hearing about the day's specials to having our meals served to paying the check -- every facet of hospitality/service was the best!!We definitely recommend this local gem to anyone visiting Indialantic, Florida.Be looking for Islands Fish Grill on 5th Ave just west of Highway A1A and next to the Longboard Surf Shop. It's easy to miss.We make a point of eating here whenever we are visiting the Indialantic/Melbourne/Satellite Beach area.Thank you, Islands Fish Grill.“

“The food was fantastic. The customer service was excellent. Friendly and amazing!“

“Delicious food and amazing atmosphere will definitely bring you back for more!“

“Best Birria Tacos in town!!!! Amazing Everytime we come tacos are so fresh and DELICIOUS!!!“

“If I could review this place 10 stars, I would. I'm from Miami so ive been to nearly every brunch place. This place blows every single one out if the water. From the atmosphere, friendly staff, and food quality, I will make the trip up here just for breakfast. I had the cuban eggs Benny and it was cooked PERFECTLY. I also had a watermelon Mint mimosa that made me never want a regular mimosa again. Best thing about this place is that breakfast AND mimosas is served all day .“

“Banana River Cafe, 1301 S. Patrick Dr., Satellite Beach, FL 32937 5 Stars I swore four years ago I would never go back, yet here I am like fish from yesterfang in the parking lot of a restaurant that at one time (under previous ownership) was my number one breakfast place in Brevard County. After it was sold, it was turned into a joint that wallowed in bad food and even worse service. As I said, that was four years ago. I have since deleted that review. Now, I can say that it is safe to return to the water, but I get ahead of myself. What changed? The new owner/chef is a CIA graduate who did his externship at Michelin Star restaurant Gramercy Tavern in New York City. Emerson Krause turned down a position at the famed restaurant upon graduation to return home and bring Brevard a taste of things seldom sampled in this part of the Sunshine State. I can safely speak for all of my fellow Floridians on the Space Coast when I say, "Thank you, Emerson and welcome home!" After being seated at a delightfully decorated table (I love the paint scheme on the chairs), we were approached by a charming lady named Nicole. Nicole was outstanding in every way a service professional should be. I asked Nicole for an order of the Bacon Sea Salt French Toast, one Texan Potato Stack and a San Antonio Biscuit Bennie. Snapping a few quick pics of the warm environs, I sat back, soaked in the peaceable atmosphere and awaited Nicole's return. The aromas were enticing to such a degree; it was all I could do to take some pictures before digging into the edible artwork before me. First to saunter across my palate was a taste of the Bacon Sea Salt French Toast. One taste and I was deep in Hog Heaven. That bacon! While I love "meat candy" more than almost any other animal flesh, that is not what set this order of the tried and true breakfast staple of French Toast apart. It was the bread and execution. This bread was fresh, thick and griddled to a delightful golden brown. The outside had just the right amount of crunch, while the inside was airy, fresh and wonderfully warm. I could eat this every day and never tire of it. Heaving a sad sigh of regret, I moved on to the next dish to be sampled, the Texan Potato Stack. Every Potato Stack is served with eggs over easy on herb roasted potatoes and topped with jack cheddar cheese sauce with your choice of toast or biscuit. The Texan came with added chorizo, onion, peppers, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. One bite and again, I was done. The flavors cascaded down my gullet like so many drops of gastronomical gratification. The last to dance across my taste buds this morning was the San Antonio Biscuit Bennie. I won't bore you with any more details; suffice it to say that this was on par with the rest of the meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor combinations were unparalleled in a breakfast biscuit (if this still qualifies as such). The Big Boy says, "If it is breakfast or lunchtime, stop what you are doing and go there right now."“

“Your food is AMAZING! I would, however, appreciate knowing the nutritional facts for your items.“

“I came across this restaurant by chance. I was seconds away from walking into an Asian fusion restaurant. I’m glad I did! The majority of the plates we ordered and the Riesling wine bottle were on point. There was one exception, the Heritage Pork Chop. For some reason the pork chop did not come out as tender as explained to me by Brian, our uber-professional and extremely knowledgeable server. It didn’t lack flavor per se, but it wasn’t as tender as, for instance, the one I recently had at Black Prong in Bronson, Florida.However, enough with the negativity, and let’s talk about the positives: Baked Brie. It was point blank delicious, with the creamy saltiness of the cheese balanced out by the sweet currant. In the menu it’s stated that it comes with crostinis, but mine came out with pita bread and sesame crackers. Still, it was delicious.The Sriracha Marinated Flat Iron Steak had a very strong beefy flavor with the nice tenderness you would expect from a much more expensive beef cut. Despite not being crazy about the mashed avocado-potatoes, it was still a delicious and hearty meal.Brian, again…our server, was beyond knowledgeable and professional. He explained every detail about the plates and wines as well. I or rather we, wish we could have a server like that anywhere we went to eat. Aside from being very knowledgeable, he was also very humble and attentive to details.“

“We had an exceptional dining experience last night. The service was impeccable, and the food was truly excellent. Our waitress was fantastic and attentive, enhancing our perfect evening. We just returned from Paris, and this restaurant's food was as delightful as any we had in the City of Light. Highly recommend.“

“Love! Love! Love! The menu has a variety of options and fresh vegetables are always fresh. Dinning is small, quaintly, and we'll kept. I recommend the crispy rolls and cheesecake...10/10.“

“The food at Paisley Vegan Kitchen is absolutely out of this world! I’m not a vegan myself, but I would eat here every day for the rest of my life if I could! Portion sizes were fantastic and the food was so tasty!! I couldn’t finish my whole sandwich, so took it to go and it was equally fantastic on the reheat (which rarely happens at other places). Highly recommend the buffalo crispy chicken sandwich and French dip. Also the cupcakes are to die for!! Don’t miss out whether you’re vegan or not. This restaurant is amazing!“

“This place is great! FRESH and cooked to order and the temp I wanted. I got the maxi because I didn’t think and it was ginormous. It could have used a tad bit more seasoning but man it was delicious!! Highly recommend“

“Food was fantastic!! Never had Korean food before this. This was an amazing experience for such a quaint place. Loved it!!“

“High quality food, perfect presentation.“

“Al-Houda Restaurant - Palm Bay - 5 Stars Hidden Gem Alert Wow, what a great find! It actually took me 24 hours to think of an opening to this review. Al-Houda is the kind of restaurant that is why I do this day in and day out, looking for that one special place, that one special morsel of food, that single flavor that makes you go....WOW!!!!! Well, it's all here at Al-Houda. Let me further preface that my father's side of the family immigrated from Syria at the turn of the last century, so I spent many years eating a wonderful surprise of authentic Middle Eastern dishes. Most Middle Eastern restaurants have Americanized the region's food, and it's so rare to find authentic recipes that I don't even look anymore. Given this history, it was with great joy and happiness that I found Al-Houda's cuisine. Now all is not perfect in Al-Houda land. For one, it is a very small dining area with limited seating. I also found out later this restaurant mainly caters to the Florida Tech Arab group, so their hours are cut back drastically during the summer. The lady who greets you, who I assume is an owner, has very little grasp of the English language, to put it mildly. If you are willing to try this amazing food you will need to either order what I ordered or be prepared to point. The menu has a half-hearted English explanation of each item. (See the menu photos). The server will not be able to espouse the great wonders that await you. Furthermore, they only serve bottled drinks. I chose an Aryan (pronounced R-yawn) yogurt drink which is essentially Middle Eastern buttermilk. It was quite good and addicting with a sour finish that is actually enjoyable. For the main meal, I ordered lamb kafta with baba ghnouj. The baba was made in-house. There were tiny chunks of eggplant you don't get from the distributor. I do not believe the Kafta was chef-prepared from scratch with fresh ingredients but it was high quality, better than I have found locally otherwise. The crowning dish I consumed was Molokhia, which is a chicken stew with greens. The morsels of chicken are so tender and juicy they should put a whole chicken in it. As I repeatedly tell my readers I am not a chef, but I know enough to tell you about execution and presentation. When it comes to ingredients, if they are non-standard I can't always discern exactly what they are. In this dish, I know there are greens they call jute. Beyond that and the chicken all I can tell you is it is one of the best flavor sensations I have ever experienced - I mean ever. This dish is so flavorful and enjoyable you can't stop eating it. The Big Boy wants you to stop and give Al-Houda a try. Whether you are a Middle Eastern cuisine veteran or virgin, I promise you won't be disappointed“

“This is the 2nd place ive found that has Bun Bo Hue to die for. Ive travelled all over the US and it is usually made more bland. If you like Pho you MUST come try the Bun Bo Hue soup. Take my advice and get a Bahn Mi sandwich and dip it in the soup.“

“Beachside is always a good breakfast option. The staff is always friendly. They also seem to have a low turnover in staff so something is working well there.They have what they call a Beachside Omelet on the menu that is excellent and always well prepared. If you are hungry, this is the thing to order there.The insides can certainly use a bit of sprucing up, (it is a bit dated), but does not take away from their good food.“

“Food was quick and hot. I had the Yin -Yang (Bun). It was very good. Service was fabulous and very accommodating. We had a large party and our waiter was very patient.“

“I ordered half ramen and blue fin tuna roll combo First of all, salad was excellent and then fried shrimp(2) was big and tender and yummy. Sushi was totally excellent just as expected. Real Japanese sushi chef making sushi. Everywhere I’ve been to never have made rice right. Never season right but this one had it all! Even my American husband said he can tell the difference with rice . We will go back and want to tell him Thank you so much. Gochisousamadeshita.“

“Visite su hermoso y prestigioso restaurante, mi familia quedó fascinada con la delicia de los platos y menú. Indiscutiblemente nuestra mesera Estefania fue muy atenta y efectiva con su servicio.“

“One of the best restaurants in the Melbourne area. Food and service consistently excellent. Last night was no exception. From the appetizers to the salad with their awesome lemon dressing to dinner plates and dessert, Bravo! Belly dancer last night was an unexpected plus! Treat yourself to this great place!“

“We are on vacation and have been twice (so far). The staff is very friendly. Breakfast is amazing! Artsy atmosphere. We definitely recommend this place. 5 stars is not enough!!“

“Best place for pizza and friendly staff, our girls group love this place.“

“First time there and we really enjoyed the food and talking with Chef Kevin. It was just what we were hoping for, great Cajun cooking and great desserts made in house. We’ll be back!“

“Did not eat there this time but food is always great ! We had a Sangria and sat in massage chairs ! When I say amazing they are beyond amazing ! The stretching was my fave part ! Great Sangrias great staff and the owner Lea is the best ! I highly recommend going to lunch have a drink and sit in chairs . Can’t wait to try the salt room next ! I am going to take my husband on a date for lunch and massage chairs soon !“

“Are you KIDDING ME WITH THIS PLACE?!?!?!?! First of all, I'm pissed that ai've been living a mere 45 minutes from this place for the last 4 months and have not been here yet- but that's on me and I'm sure I'll make up for lost time, like immediately. All right, let's talk outside to inside- it's on the side of a two lane road and it kinda comes up quick so you gotta be ready to duck in to the parking lot real quick or you'll be making a much needed illegal u turn. There are about 10 spaces and a cute little outdoor patio with 4 round 4top tables, license plates galore for decorating and a few nice potted tropical plants. This place screams dive roadside stand that you will remember and crave, literally for the rest of your life. The menu, IS HUGE, I'm not counting but easily 100 ways to stuff your face and SO MANY VEGAN OPTIONS!!! They have the Impossible hot dog, the Beyond burger and even a vegan chicken nugget option!!! So, I walk in, there's a super nice woman on register greeting everyone and I can immediately tell it's her place, she just has the mom vibes- and I'm here for it. Oh, and did I mention they have BEER?!!! So, obviously, I have a crisp cold can of PBR!! I ordered a vegan Impossible Chicago Dog- yikes this thing is impeccably perfect. I'm writing this review as I eat it...Soft poppy seed bun, fresh sliced ripe tomato, chopped white onion, spicy sport peppers, relish and celery salt! The impossible dog is sliced and grilled and DANG, ya know what.... it was so good I'm going to patiently get up and wait in this huge assss line that just formed out the door to order something else!! Hold please.... OK I'm back- with the "KA-PAOW" which is basically a vegan Philly cheesesteak. It's got my favorite brand of plant based vegan beef "meat", my favorite brand of melted vegan cheddar, grilled onions & mushrooms on a grilled hoagie roll. Oh dear god. It's just, wow. It's huge, it's messy, it's greasy.... I'm druling while I'm eating it. I don't know where this bread comes from but I'm assuming they just drop it from a helicopter that flies down from Philadelphia every fkn morning in a gps guided wicker basket. It's crusty, chewy, hefty and it has the little semolina dust on the bottom. The Ambiance is perfectly fitting to the fare, the staff is incredibly fast and kind, the food is out of this world great. While I sat here (for an hour and a half) I saw probably a hundred people come and go, some enjoyed their dog slowly like me, some inhaled them, some just ordered fries but everyone and I mean EVERYONE was treated with kindness and they were all so happy with their food. After being that busy, all morning, and even though I sat quietly in the corner alone and kept to myself I was thanked, by name, when I left. This place does it absolutely right.“

“Christmas day I visited here with my family and we were all satisfied. Our server, Constantine, was personable, attentive, polite, sweet and made our experience there a bonus. We highly recommend and will definitely be back.“

“Order at the counter, eat at your table. Great variations on hot dogs, with different sausages, bread, and toppings. Very casual. You can sit inside and look at the decor, or you can sit outside. It has 2 locations, each one with it's unique atmosphere.“

“Food is great, cafe is cozy, and staff is very friendly.“

“Food is always good. Great variety and large portions. I recently used their catering. 40 people, met with Jeff, he put together an impressive package for the money. He delivered and set it all up, rave reviews from our guests. Everyone loved it. I would strongly recommend !! Thank you PSB“

“We’re from Vegas. We eat sushi once or twice a week. We found this place while on vacation. The food was great that we had to go back the next day. Love how thick the slices of salmon sashimi’s. The presentation was excellent! I would definitely recommend this place if your craving for sushi or Thai food. Service was great as well. Friendly staff.“

“great! loved my cheesy broccoli soup and grilled cheese sandwich. BF had Same soup and BLT and loved it. Will be back again! 100x better than any Panera.“

“Jao Thai Kitchen 914 W. New Haven Ave. Melbourne, FL 32901 4.5 Stars (I went again after this review and it was even better) Arg! I stared in disbelief at yet another Thai/Sushi combo place staring up at me from my random name generator. You have got to be kidding me. How many of these hybrid clip joints have sprung up as of late? They are beginning to look a lot like Starbucks...you know, one on every corner. This time, I was headed to Jao Thai Kitchen, located in a minuscule strip mall just east of Dairy Road in Melbourne, FL. My wait staff for this culinary excursion was none other than One. While I have it on good word that One is the loneliest number, I have to admit I appreciate the new identity of using a form or letter of their actual name instead of a random generic “American” name such as Mary or Sue. This is now the 5th Thai restaurant where I encountered this new nomenclature, which is a refreshing and positive change. I asked One for an order of their Jalapeno roll, some Chicken Panang Curry and a Tuna Hand Roll. One returned at a moment’s notice with our order and after snapping a few pics, I grabbed the Jalapeno Roll and commenced tasting. This exciting concoction consisted of tuna, salmon, hamachi, asparagus, cucumber, smelt roe, jalapeno and spicy sauce topped with avocado. Like all stuffed rolls, this one can trace its roots back to the California roll sans the obligatory fake crab center. I prefer this type of roll as I really don’t like paying for fish masquerading as crab. There was just enough kick with the jalapeno and spicy sauce to entertain one’s taste buds. Next up on the Big Boy’s palate was the Chicken Panang Curry. Panang Curry has to be one of my favorite of the Thai curries. It is mild, complex and sweet with a hint of heat. This was perfectly cooked, including the tender pieces of all-white meat chicken and Thai basil, carrots and bell peppers that were fresh and obviously sliced in the back. This brings me to my Sushi join barometer of the Tuna Hand Roll. I found this one to be better than most, but it's still not quite what you would find in a traditional Sushi Ya (shop/restaurant). The tuna was a lovely shade of red and the rice was steamed to perfection. However, I found it to be severely lacking in the traditional additions one usually finds in a Tuna Hand Roll, such as a slice or two of Gobo (Japanese Burdock root/carrot or, more often, plain carrot), watercress sprouts and cucumber. This was fine, just on the simple side. It would have been rather bland on the palate if not for soy sauce. The Big Boy says, “If traditional Japanese Sushi is not your thing, for whatever reason, or you are just hankering for a hunk of raw fish and are nearby, Jao Thai Kitchen can adequately fill that sushi void.”“

“The Lemon Pepoer Chicken was really good. The chicken satay was very flavorful. The sweet and sour chicken was not good in my opinion. That being said, I don't think that means the chicken is not good. I think it is a healthier and cleaner version than what I am use to. I am accustomed to the sugary sweet chicken I normally get from fast food restaurants. I would order from Chez Quan again. It's a quality restaurant.“

“Cedars Cafe- Lake Washington-5-Stars Quickly becoming a local favorite, this gem of an eatery is beginning to make a huge splash in the local culinary scene. As with most fine dining joints (Cedar's is more casual, but the food is not), Chef Toni changes her menu with the seasonal availability of the freshest ingredients. As we have cruised on past summer and are now in the fall months, I thought it would be a good time to revisit a new favorite and see what Chef Toni did with her traditional, yet eclectically mixed menu. After being seated, I hungrily listened to my server rattle off the seasonal specials and began to drool. This should be extraordinary based on what my ears were telling my palate. After a few moments taking it all in, I asked for an order of Artichoke Shawarma, Fennel Apple salad, White Yam fries, Beat salad with goat cheese, Haloumi cheese, some kafta and an order of chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. Relaxing in the pleasant atmosphere it seemed only a moment had passed when my server was soon approaching with my food. Setting it down before me, I drank in the beautiful artistry and scintillating aromas spiraling towards the ceiling as I reached for my tools of gastronomical destruction and got to work. After one bite of the Artichoke Shawarma I knew that once again, Chef Toni has hit a home run. After using the outside of the Artichoke for another dish and wanting to be a zero-waste kitchen, Chef Toni took the artichoke hearts, through some shawarma spice on them, and plopped them on some freshly made hummus. The tastes were extraordinary. The Fennel Apple salad is a misnomer as it should read Fennel and Shaved Apple salad. With thin shavings of apple over fresh greens, fennel, fresh mint and a "secret" ingredient of orange blossom water, this salad was out of this world. Used to cleanse the palate between courses, it more than served its purpose In pursuing the freshest ingredients, Chef Toni often comes upon once in a blue moon opportunities from her local sources. Case in point, white yams. Obtaining just a few of them from a local farmer, Chef Toni worked her magic and turned them into fresh white yam fries served with an herbed, homemade tahini sauce that was a sheer delight on the palate. They were like no fries I have ever tasted before. Moving on to the most pedestrian dish, if one can call a goat cheese feta and fresh beet salad with homemade pomegranate vinaigrette drizzled over it, pedestrian. With farm-fresh beets and real honest to Athens goat cheese feta this was amazing as well. It seems that Chef Toni never misses. She must, she is only human, but I have yet to catch her off her game. After a few bites of the salad, just to make sure I had the taste down, I turned my attention to the grilled Haloumi cheese. While this is a traditional middle eastern dish, Chef Toni took traditional and turned it on its ear. With some almond dukkah seasoning and fresh local honey drizzled over it, this cheese was a far cry from the stuff I grew up on. Talk about scrumptious! While the Houlomi cheese was a far cry from my childhood, Chef Toni's take on kafta brought me right back to it. Grilled in the oven, topped with fresh hummus with tomato and onions and topping a freshly made pita, this went straight to the little boy inside the Big Boy and made him very happy. With a delicate blend of herbs and spices, this dish alone was worth the visit. Sadly, this brings me to the last item up for review, the Chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. What can I say about this without sounding like the proverbial broken record? Using locally farmed mushrooms and chicken, this dish taste farm-fresh and danced across my taste buds. The sauce was delicate, subtle and full of flavor while the chicken was tender, juicy and had to have been alive just a few hours earlier, it tasted that fresh. This place is 5 stars all day, every day. The Big Boy says, "Just go already!"“

“Fantastic lunch specials! I thoroughly enjoyed my Panang Curry dish with chicken and lots of vegetables! The restaurant is small, quaint and has been here for a long, long time. Included with the lunch special is a cup of their soup of the day, and a spring roll. All of this for $9.95 plus tax!Vegetarian options: So many ways to combine vegetables with sauces, and Rice or Noodles.“

“Delicious food and family atmosphere! Special thank you to Eden for taking great care of my grandfather!“

“Great food music is great! Tiki bar is a hidden gem“

“Best food ever !!! I always love the service and the food here“

“Backwater is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm Southern hospitality and the aroma of freshly prepared delights. The Lemon Poppyseed pancakes are a burst of citrusy perfection, while the Bayou Benedict takes pulled pork to new heights. What sets Backwater apart is their innovative griddle tables that let you customize your pancakes. They also source locally which ensures every bite supports Florida's vibrant culinary scene. And let's not forget the super cool alligator skull chandelier, adding a unique touch to the ambiance. The service is always delightful, adding to the overall experience. If you're looking for a taste of the South served with love and a dash of quirkiness, Backwater is the place to be!“

“La Crepe is our families’ absolute favorite breakfast/ brunch place. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is fun and clean. The owners are fantastic and the service is 2nd to none! The BEST!“

“We are new to the area and Masa was recommended…and WOW, we were so impressed! Amazing service, food, and cocktails, the perfect trifecta! Highly recommended and will definitely be back!“
