50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lake Hopatcong

“Gatwyns II is a very good neighborhood restaurant/ bar. The food (Portuguese Mussels and Pizza) are great but the beer choices are very poor. Lack of attention from the bar tender can be too frequent but the table service is strong. Definitely recommended, some areas could use improvement but generally happy with this place.“

“Great local diner in Lake Hopatcong. Breakfast is typical diner breakfast fair and doesn’t disappoint. We finally made it to their weekly Thursday night dinner menu and weren’t disappointed. The pork chops Murphy are phenomenal. If you’re in the area on a Thursday don’t miss stopping in for dinner.“

“This place is amazing! I don’t think I’ve had better service anywhere else. It took maybe 5-10 minutes for our food to come out and it was beyond delicious! The birria tacos, margaritas, and fresh made guacamole was the best I’ve had. We were beyond pleased with our server who went above and beyond! The outdoor seating and atmosphere was very pleasant as well. We will be returning soon!“

“Went for our 16th anniversary and did not disappoint. Service in bar was top notch. Our server for dinner, Devin went over menu, specials and drink specials along with making several personal recommendations. Every recommendation he made was spot on. From the limited time Valentine’s Day drinks to the appetizer to the main courses. He was very knowledgeable about the menu in general and took the time to answer any and all questions. I had the New York strip steak with foie gras add on. Wife had Scottish salmon. We went with the delmonico potatoes and Brussels sprouts for sides. Simple yet sooooooooooooo good. I’d go back again just for the sides. THEY WERE THAT GOOD! My steak was perfect (possibly best I’ve ever had) and my wife loved her salmon. We will for sure be back again. Thank you for a great evening.“

“This diner is definitely a favorite stopping place when we are back in our home state! The lobster bisque is not to be missed but only available on the weekend. They had a beef and barley soup, reminded me of home.The server was very friendly. Staff was joyful. ❣️“

“We had our small wedding at Andre's this past weekend, and I am still in awe of how fantastic the event was. Tracey is an all-star. From coordinating calls, decorating our table, marrying us, to keeping us on schedule. Andre had our whole group raving about how great the food was. From the appetizers to the cake, we really couldn't have asked for better. On top of it all, the location is STUNNING! The staff helping to serve us were so friendly and pleasant and together they all helped make sure our wedding day was the best day of our life. I can't recommend Andre's enough, and we will certainly be returning for a meal!“

They have every breakfast food, ingredient and garnish in front of them, and Go! Hands off!!! Step back!!! ??? These amazing winning dishes are what Missy serves to everyone, everyday! Fantastic breakfast specials! 5 stars are not enough!“

“Had the pleasure of stumbling upon this gem for dinner. We were able to walk in around 8pm and be seated quickly. The restaurant was big with many dining rooms, a bar and w beautiful outdoor area which opens up in the warmer weather. We were greeted by the owner himself, Marco and he sat us fairly quickly. He was so nice, the second he brought us the menu he said, "if there's anything not anything on this menu that you want, just let me know" which was already unique in itself. We were all able to find something for each of us on his pretty extensive menu, he had everything you would find at a typical Italian restaurant. When you sit down, you get a bread basket and a little bowl of bruschetta with balsamic vinegrette which was a great start. The wine selection was nice and the cocktails were great. We ordered with the burrata for our app which was good. For our entrees we got the orchiette, jumbo shrimp pasta and gnocchi with vodka sauce. All of it was so good. The jumbo shrimp sauce with the angel hair made the dish and the vodka sauce for my gnocchi was to die for, in addition to them being pillowy goodness. Our only regret is that we wish we had saved room for dessert. Looking to coming back here for their outdoor patio!“

“The chicken was so moist, not dry at all and that sauces were perfect! Food 9/10, atmosphere is 9/10 (only cause its really loud n hard to talk sometimes but really fun)and 9/10 service I would of gave a 10/10 service if it didn't take so long to sing happy birthday but overall really enjoyed myself here. They have a great staff food n vibe. Great for families or date night.“

“Very accommodating, great food, great atmosphere and wonderful place to dine“

“Even though Google says they open at 11 am. I called to push my luck and to my surprise they were open and I called them at 10:30 am! The owner of the restaurant Anthony picked up the phone. He is the most sweetest man I have ever spoke with on the phone. This is my first time ordering a huge order for my work place and he helped me plan everything and I was so nervous to because it's my first ordering for my work place and trying out NJ pizza. I only know NYC pizzas lol. I am getting off topic here. I highly recommend this place for anyone. They are so welcoming and you can definitely tell they care about their clients needs. Their pizzas is just as good as NYC.“

“Many types of pizza all are very good. My favorites are BBQ chicken, and my other is meat lovers. Service is quick and friendly they always go above and beyond. There is ample seating for the whole family. It's definitely a place to try. My advice is to go there hungry you'll be happy you did.“

“I loved this experience very good. The real tall blond lady helped me with my walker and walked me to the door. Such a kind and caring soul on gods green earth. Blessed thy heart!“

“The Clay Oven is awsome never had a bad meal there, the service is friendly and the restaurant is always clean with a warm atmosphere, prices are very reasonable, can't wait until my next visit!“

“Great place...only "complaint" is the menu is toooooo big. But friendly and helpful Staff and great food. Even though we arrived in the last hour of business for them, they didn't rush us and provided amazing service!!! I will go back!“

“Great local place!! Always a great meal.“

“We had a 50 person party yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet they put out for us and I have to give a HUGE shout out to Matt (I’m pretty sure that was his name. Big smile and his hair in a bun). He was the wait staff taking care of all of us and he killed it! Super pleasant and he worked his butt off to serve us all. If you get Matt, take good care of him!!!!“

“We have been frequenting cinnamon , at lease twice a month, for over 12 years now. We live about 2 miles away from it , so it’s our preferred restaurant in the area when we want to order in Indian food , even though we Have also gone for their buffets multiple times. Their vegetable Biriyani, samosa , paneer makhani , Channa masala and saag paneer are the typical dishes we pick from. What I like about them are 2 things 1. They are consistent in their flavor. It does not swing wildly in either direction. 2. They adjust spice levels to suit young children. Would recommend especially if you are in the area and don’t want to trek to Edison or Parsippany.Kid-friendliness: Adjusting spice levels“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“I absolutely *love* this place. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I never miss an opportunity to come back. The food is fantastic; that's a given. What makes it more special is the people. Vito and his crew treat you like family. That term gets tossed around too much, and this is the one location that actually does it. They take extra special care of my father, who is a fixture there now. Knowing that he has friends here that care about him... there's just no replacing that. Please stop by and try it out. Get to know the kind, considerate, and professional staff that makes gems like this so rare.“

“Was at roses trattoria.for a first communion of my grandson.Owners are great.real italians.food delicious.great espresso.service impeccable.kids running around.never felt rushed.even after dinner when we hanged around the bar.will for sure come back..thank you Rose and Joe.“

“First time ordered. Awesome pizza and the person in phone was friendly and the driver was really friendly. Was deliver on time and pizza was still warm. Asked for well done but was not.Did not know charged 5 dollars delivery fee would’ve picked up instead. 29 dollars with tip for a large pizza ??‍♂️More than likely will order again.“

“Really good Thai food. We’ve been to Thailand and I rate their food as as good or even better than the best we’ve had in Thailand. And the young owners are so sweet and attentive.( But I hope they get a louder phone so they can hear the incoming phone calls that may be customers wanting to order-they missed 3 or so. They even did not see a customer coming in to order food for her family for takeout. Even though we all tried to get their attention in the kitchen). Minor stuff, of course. I just want them to be successful. Everyone in the area or passing through the area should stop in here. Steve and Lisa“

“I crave their food at least once a week it’s THAT good. Absolutely recommend the tom yum soup, chicken pad thai, and any variation of fried rice. I’ve been to Thailand and this restaurant even exceeds some of the food that I had in Thailand.Vegetarian options: Can order anything with tofu or veggie substitute“

“March 2024. We've been coming here for years. Really enjoy the authentic tacos. The fixings bar to add sauce, cilantro, onions, cactus, and so much more, allows you to customize the tacos to your taste. Personally I love Al Pastor and Placeros tacos. Service is friendly. They have staff that speak English, which helps us who speak little Spanish. But either way, their menu is written in English and Spanish.Parking is the only hardship. Have to drive around and find a spot.Parking: Drive around until you find parking, esp. on weekends.“

“Absolutely fantastic! From the moment you step through the door, you are welcomed by the warm and friendly employees! The food was outstanding and the service was top notch! Highly recommend the Lebni, Stuffed Grape Leaves and Hummus for appetizers! For entrees, the Chicken Kebab and Homemade Gyro were delicious- and very generous portions! For dessert, the Kunefe with Turkish Coffee. Highly recommend!“

“First visit to Alice’s. We will return. Fun bar downstairs with outside heated seating looking over the lake. The food was ok. Steak was ordered rare and that came out perfect. The Salmon though was over cooked. Sides were fine though the vegetables were a mix of warm and cold. Service was great. Nice people.“

“Absolutely love the food at this restaurant! (I drive an hour from my house to go here for takeout and it’s so worth it) friendly staff as well. The mozzarella sticks are AMAZING! love the cheesecake, carrot cake, fried cauliflower, and the avocado rolls. they also have good vegan chocolate treats at the counter as well which are delicious. it’s an amazing alternative food options for those who are vegan or have a dairy allergy like I do! :)“

“Always a favorite when traveling through NJ or PA. I can't help it- I crave these delicious, fresh burgers with the toppings bar so that you can make it just perfect! And after all these years they still have the same amazing buttered bund and potato-wedge fries :)“

“I had a lovely lunch with my friend. The food was delicious and the staff were so sweet and friendly. It felt like grand dining room at a gorgeous country side. I was very happy dining here today. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We ordered sandwiches for the office today. Everyone was very happy with their choices. All individually wrapped with our names and absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff. We will certainly be ordering from Sandwiches Unlimited again! Thank you.“

“Ordered the margarita pizza and it was horrible. Never had raw garlic on a pizza and the tomato was just clumped on and not even cut open. It was also burned and I ended up throwing it away. What a waste of 16. - never again“

“First time coming here for dinner with the family to celebrate my birthday on St. Patrick’s day! Food was excellent. My fiancé is born and raised British and she absolutely loved the bangers and mash! The chicken schnitzel was delicious! Atmosphere inside was fun and relaxing. Bag pipe player walking around. Manager came over twice and checked on us! Thank you for a great meal!“

“Best Authentic Honduran mostly and Mexican food around the area, the baleadas and pollos con tajadas ufff another level of greatness, the staff super friendly and the price is super affordable for being a foreign food type of restaurant… price ranges in between $10-$20 a plate max. Well recommended ??“

“HIDDEN GEM. We were a party of 4 and came from 45 minutes away. The place is a bit smaller, but that didn’t take away from the amazing experience we all had. The waiter, who has worked there for over 17 years, was exceptional. He was friendly and funny and we all had an excellent time with him. The food was perfect. Everything we ordered came out perfect. It was all hot and it was all very delicious. I would highly recommend the pancakes. We will for sure be back again and again.“

“It's always a delight to eat at Bruno's Bistro. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly. We're visiting family and getting to eat delicious, freshly prepared food. Some of our favorites are the cheese gnocchi with crabmeat in vodka sauce, short ribs, and the paroadelle bolognese. The pistachio dessert is to die for. Their whipped cream is homemade and to perfection. Mangia and enjoy!“

“We came here on a strong recommendation from a family member. We were truly impressed with the quality of the food and the service. The menu offered many delicious classic Italian dishes, along with some elevated interpretations of the classics. We will absolutely return to try other items that this great restaurant has to offer! Do yourself a favor and eat here soon, and try the roasted pear salad.“

“Stopped for dinner and was so surprised. This diner had excellent service, great food and a full service bar! Burgers, gyros sweet potato fries all really great. The drinks were so delicious. Recommend the blue martini. Beer served in frosted mugs.“

I highly recommend the Hibernia Diner!!!Kid-friendliness: We had several children in our party. The waitress was amazing with them!!Wheelchair accessibility: The bathrooms were large and handicap accessible.“

“It’s definitely the best spot in the area for good food. They have very good salads and a great selection of pizzas. One pizza style in particular reminds of a homemade pizza my Italian grandmother used to make. So Yummy!Staff is also very welcoming!“

“Wow. The Black River Barn has outdone themselves again. What I remember growing up is an older pub feel with ok food, that has changed. It's now the most reasonably priced, delicious, kid and adult friendly food in a good part of Northern NJ. The atmosphere is palpable and full of life. Everyone loves their service, food, and drinks along with the prices. Can't say enough good about a restaurant I once wrote off as an older crowd. If you haven't visited in a while, give it another chance and they WILL impress you.“

“Had dinner on 6/2/22. We had a party of 9 all together. Sat in the back room. Both the food and the server were fantastic. Sorry I didn't get her name. Come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Never disappointed!!“

“Found this place today and so glad we did. Excellent food, friendly staff, and old world decor. Can’t find too many places like this anymore.“

“Showed up with 15 hungry teens for my daughter's birthday. Everyone had a great time and the service was wonderful.“

“The food is exceptional. I do really love Thai food. I was very impressed with the quality of the food and the dynamic flavor profiles. I had the pad se ew with crispy chicken. The chicken was moist and very flavorful. They use broccolini which is a nice twist.I shared the house salad with my dad. The dressings were divine and there is a variety of fresh veggies in it. He had the drunk noodle which I tasted. It was lovely. Though I personally preferred my dish! Casual atmosphere. Quick service. Great food.“

“Dined her many times years ago when I worked nearby, it’s been over 20 yrs. It was excellent then, and still is now! Some of the best Italian food you can have. Everything we had was excellent… fresh & full of flavor. It’s a bit out of the way for some, but so worth the trip. I live in Florida and have had many grouper meals, the potato crusted grouper here is ?! The best I ever had. My wife had a chicken dish with pasta that was the bomb. My buddy had the pork chop that was tender and tasty. If you’re looking for a quite atmosphere with great cocktails and fantastic food, you need to make plans to drive to Hibernia Inn ( approximately 3 miles off the Hibernia/Rockaway exit off of Rt 80). This is family owned for many years and they keep bringing a excellent dinning experience. Wish they were in my home town in Florida ?“

“Went to Leggo My Bagel today for the first time and was impressed. Bagels and specialty cream cheeses are really good. Service was excellent. It’s tiny so best for takeout. Has a huge menu and am looking forward to trying their other food. Would definitely recommend.“

“Food is always excellent. Best pizza in town! The Grandma Pie and Eggplant Sorrentino Pie are especially fabulous! Mangia!“
