Whether you always stick to plant-based foods or just want to try something new, these are the best vegetarian restaurants in the country, according to Yelp. These spots use vegetables in insanely creative ways that go way beyond salads, and they’re definitely worth a visit.

This list is based on Yelp reviews and ratings at restaurants in the “vegetarian” category. In states where vegetarian-only places were not available, vegetarian-friendly places were included. All of these restaurants have enacted COVID-19 safety measures.

We will definitely be going back for food that is healthy, light, and delicious.” – Yelp user A S.

Hawaii

Today I ordered a BLAT sandwich which is coconut bacon, lettuce, avocado tomato, onion, and mac-nut aioli on delicious high protein bread.

This place is worth trip to Garfield Park!!” – Yelp user Andrew W.

She was pleasantly surprised to see that this place had such an extensive variety of dishes, as she says usually Chaat places will not have vegetarian entrees or dosas. This place has a full offering of Indian food including North and South Indian dishes. The taste is incredible, authentic, and the spice level can go 1-6 as you like it. The prices are cheap but the food tastes homemade.” – Yelp user Joe A.

Louisiana

The Daily Beet in New Orleans

“This is the go to place for salads. They have too notch salads, the food is so yummy, healthy, and flavor packed. Coming from the east coast it’s nice to have a legit healthy salad spot with juices.

You gotta check this place out if you haven’t already!!!” – Yelp user Mohammad A.

Nebraska

Nevada

New York

The Red Dot Vegetarian Kitchen in Wurtsboro

“This place has such a nice vibe. But the food was even better. Made with such love and homemade ingredients. Everything tasted better than the next.

We had a great time here.” – Yelp user Amanpreet N.

North Carolina

Plant in Asheville

North Dakota

India Palace in Fargo

“This is the best Indian food we’ve found in Fargo. Tikka Masala has a nice flavor profile that includes peppers, the Do-pyaza (with lamb) is one of the best Indian dishes I’ve ever had. Naan is top-notch and the samosas, unlike many samosas in the world, are big, flaky, and flavorful. ” – Yelp user Chester A.

Ohio

Comune in Columbus

“I may be partially biased because I used to work here, but Comune is where it’s at. Executive Chef Jacob Inscore has found a way to make every dish dynamic and present its own personality.

Rhode Island

The Grange in Providence

“The Grange been a go-to spot on the West Side. Don’t let its presence as a vegan restaurant turn you away if you are typically a meat and dairy lover. Their apps are a delight (try the hush puppies) and you cannot go wrong with the quinoa bowl on a hot day. Their pivot to takeout has been seamless during this time, with a quick pickup window and even their traditional outdoor dining.” – Yelp user Trina S.

South Carolina

Sun Belly Cafe in Greenville

“This place was amazing from the food to the service. Not a true vegan or vegetarian but with the “help” of my wife have been trying to eat cleaner and healthier. If this quality and savory tasting vegan/vegetarian food was introduced to me earlier in life, maybe. We live downtown Greenville and have had all it has to offer and this was worth getting in the car to drive a short distance away from the glitter and gold. It’s in the rotation now.” – Yelp user Trey M.

South Dakota

Sanaa’s Gourmet Restaurant in Sioux Falls

“What a great selection of Mediterranean food including a delicious hummus, a tangy cabbage salad, an amazing tabbouleh and a delicious couscous with caramelized onions. I look forward to stopping here for lunch again.” – Yelp user Linda B.

Tennessee

The Southern V in Nashville

“I’ve been here twice now and I’m hooked. Their “chicken,” sauce, sides, and desserts are all amazing. I also love the fact that it’s vegan and a family-run small business, but honestly those are besides the point. I’ll be back soon!” – Yelp user Ben G.

Texas

Bodhi Viet Veggie Cuisine in Austin

“Delicious vegetarian and vegan Vietnamese food. This truck is a good find! The food is prepared fresh, and my wife who is Vietnamese gives her seal of approval. Friendly service and we suggest the beef stew (mock beef of course) the sandwiches are awesome!” – Yelp user Edwin D.

Utah

Buds in Salt Lake City

“I have tried everything on their menu at least twice, but their Barbacoa sub is my go-to comfort food. The coleslaw is crunchy, the guacamole portion is generous, and the jackfruit melts in the mouth. Also, I’ve always received excellent feedback from all my non-vegan friends who I’ve taken here.” – Yelp user Naren V.

Vermont

Revolution Kitchen in Burlington

“Very excited to have found a safe haven for some veggie friendly food on vacation. Everything was delicious and above and beyond what I can find near home.” – Yelp user Gabi C.

Virginia

The Little Grill Collective in Harrisonburg

“You can’t go wrong at The Little Grill! I haven’t had a dish that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Great atmosphere and down to earth people. I went to JMU a decade ago and currently living across the country I still visit this special place whenever I can.” – Yelp user Rachel D.

Washington

Ada’s Technical Books and Cafe in Seattle

“This place was a hidden gem! From the outside you would not guess there are countless books and delicious vegetarian treats inside! Single origin drip coffee comes with a refI’ll, the croque madam was decadent and filling – which could have been maybe offset by a side salad but it was still amazing. The sweet onion jam is a great addition to this classic.” – Yelp user Julia G.

West Virginia

Kelley Farm Kitchen in Harper’s Ferry

“I don’t know where to even begin. Everything about this place was perfect, from the service to the quality of the food and the portion size. Be prepared to wait for your food, which is takeout only due to covid, but it’s worth the wait. My meal was so large I made two meals out it. I’m so excited to have found a 100% plant based restaurant in Harper’s Ferry!” – Yelp user Melissa M.

Wisconsin

The Beer Line Cafe in Milwaukee

“This was my absolute favorite place to eat while vacationing in Milwaukee. I loved everything about it. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was nice, and I like the whole set up of ordering at the counter then finding a table and sitting down.” – Yelp user Tamra F.

Wyoming

Sweet Melissa’s in Laramie

“Plainly, this is the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever experienced. The food is delicious, the portions are enormous, and the atmosphere is warm and bustling. You can also take your carnivore-centric friends and family who will be surprised to find out how much a piece of cauliflower can taste like a chicken wing or how much a veggie burger can taste like a beef burger.” – Yelp user Clifford M.
