50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Arden

“Always delicious food, even if a little expensive. You know they're quality when the wait is out the door. You will have to grab your own drinks and condiments. You will also want to come back over and over again.Parking: During peak hours, the lot we'll be full“

“Love this place! It's a go to spot for me and my celiac husband. We drive here often (1.5hr drive) because the food is bomb, atmosphere is fun, and the staff are so sweet. The Gluten Free items are clearly marked. Great date night place! My favorite it the General Tso tacos and chips and queso!“

“Baked pie company has been one of my family's favorite dessert spots for years. My wife and I frequently enjoy lunch dessert dates there throughout the week. All of the pies and the great selections are wonderful. The service is always great and the restaurant is always really clean. We also enjoy on warm days sitting outside on the patio, enjoying a nice pie flight.We visited there today and I will note that we were a little disappointed to find that they no longer had flavored coffee creamers. I know this might sound a little, but I hope that they will bring back the flavored creamers as nothing goes better with a pie fly than a nice cup of coffee.Still well worth a five-star review!“

“I visited at least 5 times now since coming across it on my search to eat healthier. I had a poké bowl with ingredients of my choosing. The lettuce and veggies were all crisp and crunchy, the chicken was seasoned well and tender. They do have other proteins. I just haven't tried them yet. The Pork Gyoza is one of my favorites. I get 2 orders every time. They have a return customer out of me.“

“Carrabbas has been a long-time favorite for many years. This location staff has always been attentive with a smile. On this visit, a friend and I stopped for appetizers and snacks. The prickly pear martini was very tasty and my friend tried one of the Sangrias...um..umm..ummm!We ordered calamari with the spicy sauce on the side and a combination platter.The calamari I was disappointed with. The breading overpowered the calamari, and it was borderline salty. Not just that, but the breading was too much. Peeling the batter off, I was left with almost a quarter cup of it on my plate. If this is the new way, they'll prepare calamari. I may not be ordering it anymore.Oh, I almost forgot. I ordered a canoli cake for two for my Mom and I. Was that so good, very flavorful.But..! I still love me some Carrabbas!“

“By far the BEST dining experience we had in Asheville. The food is so spectacular that I bought their cookbook just to remember how good it tasted. You MUST sit at the bar! We spoke with so many people, local and repeat visitors. Friendly, fun vibe. Highly recommended!!!!“

“Why haven’t I been here before?! Omg! So good! I got the poke bowl (a delicious combination of tuna, cucumbers and tomatoes in sauce) and hubby got the fried chicken sandwich….I think it is our new favorite chicken sandwich in Asheville. The honey sauce the used! Yum! Coming back. Great outdoor dining and all the food is great!“

“Macarons were perfect! They were very prompt with communication and timing. Grabbed some sushi while I was picking up and loved the crab Rangoon!“

“We absolutely love this place. We always visit them whenever we are in Asheville. We recommend sitting at the counter. The counter will allow you to be entertained by the staff. We hung out with Derek this time. He is an amazing chef. There's nothing like watching an artist at work.“

“We were recommended to eat here by a friend and we absolutely loved it. We had our 11 month old son with us and they accommodated us by all means. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town. The brisket Mac & cheese was delicious!“

“The nickname "Malt Disney World" truly fits. This place is amazing. I took the brewery tour and was extremely impressed with how knowledgeable and friendly Madison was. Afterwards, I had a few beers in the taproom, and honestly I didn't want to leave! Amazing experience from beginning to end, and I can't wait to come back!“

“WOW! Very good food and service. We will be back to try other dishes from their menu.“

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.“

“Absolutely fantastic Vegan food!“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“

“This place was a lovely surprise. The lunch buffet was delicious, and the staff pleasant.“

“Excellent experience. Delicious food. Ambience was excellent!“

“Solid old fashioned breakfast. Great service. Not many tables. They are packed. If there is a parking space, there is probably a table. We had coffee at our table quickly. I went for the two egg breakfast with bacon, grits, and biscuit. My son has chicken and waffles. Both were very good at a decent price.“

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“Another outstanding culinary experience! Thank you for fitting us in yesterday on our way home from SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair) we brought our dear friends who were celebrating their anniversary. We had some small plates then scallops, burgers, and schnitzel. Just fabulous. Thank you for a perfect end to a wonderful day spent with great friends. Happy to share such a dining gem.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Fahrenheit Pizza. We brought some family with us from out of town. We had pizza, garlic knots and even tried their cannolis! The food was all very delicious, especially the pizza. And the staff were all very kind and inviting, especially Conrad. (He was the one that sold us on the cannolis) As a pizza snob, this place has inched its way into my top 3 pizza places in Asheville. Cheers!“

“This place is awesome! Did the guided tour and was mesmerized. Shared some appetizers for lunch (wings were the best I’ve had anywhere), had a few beers and hung out at the fire pit a while afterwards. Really cool experience! Planning to go back many times.“

“After a great dinner, we walked around checking out different shops and looking for a cookie to take back to our hotel. It was our first time in Asheville visiting friends who moved here over a year ago. This was a very popular spot for an evening snack. They had all the classic pastries that you’d hope for, including cheesecakes, key lime pies, cookies. We were pleased and came out with one pastry and 2 chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies. They were fantastic!“

“Fun place good food, good sides, friendly staff. Would be five stars, but it is a tad pricey. On the other hand cut em some slack, considering the current economy, the prices are not over the top, they do need to post a profit to stay open.“

“My favorite restaurant in Asheville. I come nearly everyday. I am so grateful to have a place with organic and healthy vegan food. It's the best! Love all of the Mylks and the raw cheesecake and the ALT.. matcha is super good too... Honestly everything is amazing :) including the super lovely staff.“

“Yum! Great pizza! Wonderful, friendly staff.“

“What a great dinner spot! Porter was fabulous but dinner was over the top! Yum“

“Thank you for opening in our area. Best made subs in a 50 mile radius. Great staff. I tell all my friends about this place. Thank you“

“I love this local coffee destination!! It has such personality and uniqueness! I love the specialty drinks that you can only find here AND they have gluten-free baked goods (I highly recommend the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin). The chai latte is delish as well. I wish there were some more privacy seating for those who want to get some work done or those who want to meet a friend and chat … the seating is all in one open room, cozy feeling but open.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free baked goods ??“

“We dined on the outside patio because we had our dog with us. Menu was 100% GF but you wouldn't know it - because everything was so delicious. There was also a doggie dining menu for our pup to join us for dinner w/ some rules. 1) no dogs on your lap. 2) No feeding your dog from the table. The service was amazing. The food was delicious. The wine pairings were perfection. It was a little loud outside but to be expected and was worth it to be able to bring our pup.“

“Great selection of beers , value and food ! Very good customer service . The only reason that I did not give 5 stars is that we sat outside with our 4 year old dog and the full food menu is NOT available outside … They treat dog owners as 2nd class citizens .. I heard they make the best chicken wings and pretzels with mustard , but they would not serve it outside ! I either have to leave my dog at home or else break up the party of 3 humans to enjoy the full menu inside and leave my dog and companions to eat separately.. I sure hope and pray that they reconsider this corporate policy ! Regardless of this, I would recommend that you visit this place if you are ever in the Asheville , N.C. area .“

“Parking: During certain times of the day it's hard to find parking due to most residents parking near the restaurant, there is parking across the street at the school but I wouldn't recommend parking there especially as school dismisses because you will be stuck there.Kid-friendliness: I saw school aged children and toddlers as well. Plenty of outdoor seating, I also saw a few doggos sitting outside with their humans.“

“Restarted, it with crab stuffed mushrooms and spinach, crab meat oysters. They were delicious then we ended it with two lobsters, potatoes and corn and also a salad. Everything was delicious and our waitress was so kind. She even cracked our lobster and took all the meat out of it for us..“

“Food was amazing! more of a tapas place though! I really enjoyed the ambiance and food. Our server was dope too! Brianna was awesome!“

“What a great dinner spot! Porter was fabulous but dinner was over the top! Yum“

“I recently tried Taco Temple and overall, it was a decent experience. We started with chips and guacamole, which was fresh and plentiful, with large chunks of avocado. For our main course, we ordered the barbacoa and mahi tacos. The barbacoa had a delicious stew-like flavor, but the mahi tacos were a bit dry. I also ordered the avocado torta, it was quite good!The meal was good but not outstanding. The prices were average for the market, making it a reasonable choice. However, parking can be challenging, especially when it's busy. I believe there's also a drive-through option, which might be more convenient for some.“

“The lady was awesome that helped us!! The sauce on the hibachi had great flavor and portions were good also. Steak was cooked perfectly! We got a fried shrimp appetizer (cannot remember the name) but similar to bang bang shrimp..10/10 awesome!!! We will be back when visiting chimney rock.“

“We had absolutely wonderful service & delicious cocktails during our visit in Asheville. Meticulously crafted cocktails by a very knowledgeable mixologist (can’t remember his name). We will definitely be back next time we’re in town.“

“Drew has done a great job staying true to this being ABC while also making it his own. Great food, great people.“

“Great authentic Thai food, handmade to order. So fresh“

“Love this place. Stopped years ago when I passed through the area. It's a must for breakfast!!“

“Great venue and outdoor space to linger before the concert. Drinks were reasonable, and the food was very good. I saw Christone " Kingfish" Ingram. Great show, good sound. The concert was broadcast to an outdoor screen by two firepits.“

“This is a must have for downtown Asheville. Friends told us about it so we made a point to check it out. It was worth the cost of downtown parking.Tacos, nachos and drinks that were really good.The nachos are huge and you pick your toppings!Going back for the fish tacos ? our friend recommended.The line moves kind of slow because they are making the food right in front of you, but it is worth the wait.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian here options were good.“

“Rosetta’s is a delicious restaurant with a diverse menu chock full of vegan items. They also have a great selection of drinks and vegan desserts. Unfortunately, since moving to their new location, they have been getting more and more expensive. The fare stays the same but the prices get higher. The food, however, is fantastic. You’ll just feel the hit on your wallet as well as the one in your stomach!Vegetarian options: Extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly. There’s no meat on the menu!“

“Jalapeños!!! Voila! Choose your toppings burger: pepper Jack cheese, fresh jalapeños, pickled jalapenos AND jalapenos mustard with tonoatoes for coolness was fire. Deviled egg like none other for real. They had those crispy Parmesan things on top and were spicy!! They have a gose on tap so.......it was perfect. Sour beer....I'm there“

“A great place a short walk from downtown. They had vegan options. The items were intriguing and portion sizes were generous. Some flavors were developed better than others.Dietary restrictions: They had vegan and gluten-free options, including cookies“

“I was in town for a work trip and stopped here for lunch with my friend/coworker. Its a super cute little place. We enjoyed our server and the food. The food was delicious. We got the cheese plate appetizer and the shared the baby lamp chops plate. We were in a rush to get back to our meetings otherwise we would have stayed longer and enjoyed some of their dessert options.“
