50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Fort Hunt

“Heard this place was great for Sunday brunch. Made a reservation and was so pleased with the ambience when seated; when looking over the menu, we felt certain we had been handed the wrong one because it was 11am and there were no brunch items to be found! But sadly, there is only this one menu regardless of day or timing. Very disappointing!! We pieced together some soup and appetizers as a “brunch” meal; the food was very good and our waitress very kind. However, we did send our comments to the chef expressing dismay that a brunch spot offered zero menu items that were even close to being considered brunch options!“

“Everything about this place was great. The decor takes you to Greece, you feel like you're on a side street in Mykonos. I reserved this for Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated my daughter's gluten allergy well and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back.“

“The food was excellent, and the server was even more excellent“

“First time here on a Friday night. We had reservations that were mixed up. Even though the restaurant was expected to be full they accommodated the 6 of us. The owner came over to greet us. I told him that this was my first visit. (Everyone else had been several times) Oh then he proceeded to bring bite size samples for me to try. He then offered up suggestions as to what I need to have for an appetizer, main course and even dessert. Food bursts with flavor. But the real experience here was the service. First class. Thank you all for the dining experience.“

“All are good-what I love most is all of the fresh veggies that go with each dish- the is a large selection! We had chicken platter and falafel- both great“

“Always delicious traditional Egyptian fare. My Egyptian husband makes me drive two hours just to eat here. Although the food is delicious and healthy, my fav thing is the mint lemonade which they make by hand.“

“Combination of great food, ambience and hospitality. This is the place if you are looking for authentic Nepali food and fine dining experience. They have always amaze us with their menu selection options and the way menus are platted and garnished. I will highly recommend this place for dining with your friends and family.“

“This was my first visit, a suggestion from my sister. I started with the crab hush puppies (delicious!). As an entree, I chose the creole shrimp fettuccini (very good). My server (Amy-excellent!) was attentive and engaging, which enhanced my overall experience. The whole atmosphere had a vibe that was very inclusive and fun. I will definitely return.“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“Nazareth is one of the best Ethiopian restaurant in town! The food is authentic and delicious.We ordered TIBS FIRFIR, chickina tibs and Goden tibs served over Njera in family style platter. The Tibs is a perfect balance of spicy and savory. The Y was crispy on the outside and soft chewy on the inside. The ribs firfir is flavorful and satisfying and the portions were huge! The Njera was warm to the touch - a very nice touch!The service is impeccable. The atmosphere at Nazareth is casual and inviting. The owner even came out of the kitchen to greet us and ask about our experience.Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Nazareth. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great Ethiopian dining experience.“

“Wonderful homemade food! So delicious. Cozy atmosphere and amazing smells!“

“First time ever at a German restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed! As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome. The ambiance is classic and cozy. We started off with the Cevapcici Appetizer and it was delicious! I had the seafood and rice special and the seafood was well seasoned with a good portion of perfectly cooked rice. Ended the meal with the Apfelkuechle with ice cream and it was phenomenal! Light but very tasty! Service was superb! Very friendly and attentive. Will definitely revisit this little Old Town gem! Can’t wait for the summer to enjoy their beautiful patio.“

“This is my most favorite spot in Alexandria!!The chicken wings are best in Virginia if not the best that I've ever tried!!! Other dishes are awesome as well!!!“

“Great location, service. Food was a solid 8.2 out of 10.“

“Great brunch, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff!“

“We were on vacation and happened down this way looking for a late meal (it was about 8pm). Most shops were closed but Guapo's was open and bustling so we gave it a shot. Their free appetizer chips were incredible, especially if you get a fresh warm batch, and the pico and salsa (not sure of ingredients but warm brown dip). Wife got a chimichanga which she loves and I got a combo of cheese and chicken enchiladas which were fabulous! We came back at the end of our trip and had margaritas which were best I've had (not too sweet or "alcohol-y) in a while. That led to a 2nd dinner which I ordered the Cinco De Mayo platter expecting a couple fajitas. I read the menu wrong because what arrived to the table took most of the available space: a plate with three BBQ pork ribs, strips of grilled chicken, strips of tender steak, chorizo, fajita onions/peppers, and two of their shrimps as well as a second plate with baked beans and yellow rice and a third plate with scoops of pico, guacamole, and sour cream and a basket with three free warm tortillas. Every single thing on this plate was out of this world delicious!!! Pricing was very reasonable too, staff were very friendly but soft spoken and the atmosphere inside was pretty noisy (although patio/outdoor seating is nice if the weather is to your liking). They had desert too but I didn't get any because I was too full both visits. We ended up eating at a nearby restaurant on a different day and the value comparison was night and day. Guapo's is your best value on this street in Shirlington regardless if you're looking at taste, price, or customer friendliness (hours, staff, atmosphere)Parking: We walked or took public transit so I don't have first hand experience but appeared to be street parking with some free and some paid spots depending if you were on the strip or a side street. You're going to have a hard time regardless. There's a grocery store at the end of the road which did have a parking lot which you might be able to utilize but I recommend bus or walking.Kid-friendliness: Inside it's a bit loud but the walls have decorations like six shooters and mariachi paintings which would have amused or started a conversation with my kids. They had customers with birthdays and the staff do a unique performance and provide a sombrero which again would have amused and delighted my children to see. I think as long as your kiddos like Mexican food and can handle a bit of loudness then its a good balance between kid friendly and adult friendly atmosphere.“

“Love the Art and reasonable pricing“

“Best vegan restaurant in Washington DC. I like spending my outing time there. It’s an amazing place the staff are nice and welcoming. I prefer eating mom’s tofu & brown rice with a mango smoothie when I go there. Please try that I am sure you will love it.“

“The food was fantastic, service was also fantastic. Would recommend this great place to anyone! Thank you, and you will be seeing me again!“

“Just had an unforgettable dining experience at Padaek in Arlington Ridge, VA, and I couldn't wait to share!From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, setting the perfect stage for what was to come.Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the rich flavors of Lao and Regional Thai cuisine. The Siin Savanh, Gaeng Hang Lay, and Mieng were absolute standouts, bursting with authenticity and boldness.And dessert? Oh, don't even get me started! The Mango Sticky Rice and Khao Niew Met Nga were the perfect sweet endings to an incredible meal.But what truly sets Padaek apart is the attention to detail and the stories behind the food. Chef Seng's dedication to preserving tradition and sharing her family's recipes shines through in every bite.Overall, Padaek exceeded all expectations. If you're in Arlington Ridge and craving an unforgettable dining experience, look no further. This place is a gem!“

“I went to this place for my birthday and I have to say that it was a great experience. My family and I shared the Bún bò Huế (spicy noodles), hoành thánh chiên (fried wontons), Gà xào húng quế (Thai basil chicken), and Bánh hỏi đặc biệt (Vermicelli platter). The food was so good, my favorite was the Bánh hỏi đặc biệt. The owner went around to every table and checked up on everybody and our waters were being refilled constantly. Everyone was really nice. They don't typically do anything special for birthdays, but the owner gave me a free mango sticky rice!! Even after we paid and started to leave, the owner came out to us and recommended the ice cream place next door. I really appreciate family businesses and loved to see that traditional foods are still very accessible to people with dietary restrictions. I am 100% visiting again.Dietary restrictions: Many of their dishes can be made vegan easily and they have a glutton free menu.“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“been going there for over 25 years!Great food!.Jack Daniels shrimp is always a hit!“

“Nice quaint place . Produce , plants etc .“

“Osteria da Nino is very nice place, family-owned restaurant. It is at a good location, close to parking lot and other shopping centers. More importantly, it is 10 minutes away from Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. We had a great welcome by the owner. Our server was Alex. Four of us had a dinner reservation at this restaurant. After dinner, we went to a show (Shear Madness) at John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. We ordered the following and here are my ratings Drinks (Baby Amarone, Tito, Spritz, Mojito, Bellini) - 9/10 Food (Octupus, Garlic Bread, Eggplant Parm, Fusili Crab Meat, Margherita Pizza) - 9/10 Desserts (Tiramisu) - **5/10** and Cappuccino - 9/10 Service - 9/10 I always feel there is a scope to improve the quality of the food. So, maximum score is 9 out 10. Tiramisu - It is not to the standard, and it is based on my experience eating Italian food for more than 30 years at other restaurants in NY, NJ, PA, DE, VA and MD. Also, this is my favorite dessert, especially if I am at an Italian restaurant. I strongly recommend Osteria Da Nino and will go back with more friends!!“

“buen lugar, excelente servicio, sabor tipico, buen sazon, bien servido el plato la gente increible y es uno recibido por el propietario douglas, excelentes palabras nos dio. recomendable 100%“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“Great experience - best beef/lamb doner in the area. The owners are super friendly and are often working in the kitchen themselves serving authentic Turkish foods. Highly recommend for fast casual and when you're on the go, it's my goto after gym spot.“

“Great french toast, bacon, and eggs at Jack's Place. I wish I could give them a 4.5 instead of 4 overall because it hit the spot for a hole in the wall style diner that did a solid job with breakfast. I would return to try the pancakes and other breakfast items.“

“When we walked in several firemen were getting their food to go. So you know it is good. So I asked what is the best. One fireman said the Lomo Saltado so of course I Ordered the Lomo Saltado. Ecellent Excellent carne Asada lwith onions garlic with a great eef sauce, on a bed of fren h fries. The fries soak up the juice, delicious“

“The food is always great quality and top notch in flavor! The staff is friendly and helpful while the restaurant is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, I would highly recommend giving Mission BBQ a try! They also have an amazing catering menu that is perfect for any event or gathering.“

“Ordered take away on line and it was ready when I walked in. Ben searching for a place with a decent vermicelli bowl. This is the best I’ve had in the area. Service was friendly and quick. Online ordering was quick & simple. Definitely will order from here again.“

“The food was excellent and we had a great time . Super sweet waiters .“

“Always a great place to stop for food and drink.“

“Lovely sashimi! Authentic Japanese dishes.“

“May 2024 update: Fava Pot has become hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the broader Washington DC area. The quality of food remains consistently strong and super tasty; probably the best hummus and fresh baked pita I've had in a long time, for starters. This place has become our default go-to for anytime we want tasty food. It's also great for bringing guests since the menu is large and diverse, so can accommodate pretty much any dietary needs. We liked their food so much we ended up asking them to cater our wedding picnic, which went really well.-------------------------------------Original review: Excellent food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff and owners made this a very pleasant experience. Can't wait to go back and try even more dishes!“

“First of all the place has a very nice ambience. The waitress was very hospitable and accommodating. Our order didn’t take long and the food is delicious! I would recommend this place.“

“Food was so so good, as always...Theisman's is the definition of consistency. The calamari was excellent, all the entree's were excellent and the dessert the same. Yum! Also consistent was the pleasant but bare-minimum service. If you'd rather be on your phone, at least leave the water bottle on the table so we stop running out. Honestly, at this point just put qr codes on the tables and let us order ourselves lol: it's the food runners and bussers who stand out for their great service and professionalism every time we go! Thanks again for a great meal!“

“great service and great food“

“It was our first time there we had a great time , service was great the food the bomb we will come back again .“

“very relaxing and cozy as a date night.“
