Excellent
Wass Ethiopian Restaurant
9.7Plant-based diners get a real centrepiece here. The Vegetarian Combo pulls lentils, split peas, greens, cabbage, beets, and potato into a full shared meal.
Mystic Ramen
9.4Vegan ramen is part of the core offer, with plant-based broth paths, vegan egg caveats, and clear guidance for noodle swaps and toppings.
Mezbaan Bar & Kitchen
9.0The menu has a dedicated vegan section plus vegetarian staples such as Chana Masala, Aloo Gobhi Masala, Dal Tadka, Veg Biryani Vegan, and Veg Samosa.
Good Options
Berkeley North
9.2Vegetarian and lighter orders are built into the menu rather than left to one backup choice. Mushroom Gnocchi, Teriyaki Eggplant, Cauliflower, Kohlrabi Salad, Grain & Falafel Plate, and Build-A-Bowl give mixed-diet groups several ways to eat well.
Goldies Fast Food
9.3Plant-based diners get more than a token substitute here, with Fried Chik'n, Impossible Burger, and Impossible Nuggets fitting the same comfort-food format as the rest of the menu.
Café Oranje
9.1Vegetarian diners get real named options rather than a bare modification request. The Van Gogh and The Happy Cow keep meatless ordering inside the cafe's core sandwich language, with smoothies and sweets adding backup paths.
Shehnai Restaurant
8.3Vegetarian diners have more than a token choice. Vegetable Korma, Vegetable Samosas, Vegetable Pakoras, Paneer Masala, and vegetable combination options make it possible to build a full meatless meal with texture and variety.
Doors Pub: Taco Joint & Metal Bar
9.0Plant-based diners are not an afterthought here: the public menu picture and local coverage both point to vegan and vegetarian options. Keep the expectation casual, but there is a real path through the menu.
SYNONYM
8.4Vegetarian diners have several real choices rather than a single fallback. Hummus, Labneh, Roasted Vegetables, Classic Shakshuka, Herb Omelet, French Toast, and Chocolate Babka make the non-meat path easy to build.
PinToh by Chef Keng
9.1Vegetarian diners have credible room to move across salads, rolls, tofu dishes and curry or noodle formats. PinToh is not a dedicated plant-based restaurant, so strict dietary needs still call for a direct kitchen conversation.
Lotus Thai & Vietnamese Cuisine
9.0Plant-forward diners have real menu routes instead of a single token choice. Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Mango Salad, Vegan Vermicelli Bowl and vegetarian options across curries and noodle dishes make it possible to build a complete order with less negotiation.
Apllada Greek Fusion Restaurant
9.2Plant-based diners have more to work with than a single side plate. Fava, Dolmades, vegetable-leaning small plates, and the broader Greek appetizer set make it possible to build a real meal with the room.
Pinks Burgers
8.3Vegetarian diners have more than a token side: Black Bean Veggie Burger, Vegetarian Gyro, Black Bean Burger, and Greek Salad Garden Salad give meatless orders several real anchors.
Mesa
8.6The vegetarian path is visible rather than improvised, with cactus, peppers, and onions as a protein option plus Cactus Salad and flexible tortilla-based orders.
Nannaa Persian Eatery
8.2Vegetarian diners have several proper routes through the menu: Dahl Addas, Kashkeh Bademjoon, Salad Shirazi, Eggplant & Mushroom Tachin and vegetable-forward starters. Strict vegan diners still need a staff conversation, but plant-based ordering has enough structure to be useful.
Paisley Coffeehouse & Eatery
8.8Paisley is easy to include in a plant-based plan because vegan language is part of the cafe's own positioning and the menu includes named choices like Chickpea Toast and Avocado Toast. The Saturday vegan buns add a specific weekend cue.
Rony's
9.2This is still a chicken-first restaurant, but vegetarian diners have credible choices. Falafel Wrap, Falafel Plate, Red Pepper Hummus, and House Salad create a useful meatless path that stays connected to the same sauce-and-side vocabulary.
Nabil Middle East Fast Food
8.9Falafel, Hummus, Lentil Soup, Fattoush Salad, and Tabouli Salad give vegetarian diners a usable path through the menu, even though the restaurant is not a dedicated plant-based spot.
Rapscallion and Co.
9.4Meat is part of the restaurant’s identity, but plant-forward diners are not left with a token plate. The venue speaks directly to vegetarian and vegan accommodation, and current daytime dishes give that promise practical footing.
Tomah
9.1Plant-leaning diners have real choices rather than one fallback. Falafel, hummus, muttabal, vine leaves, lentil soup, salads, cabbage rolls, and several vegetable-forward sides make the menu easy to navigate.
Merit Brewing
9.3Plant-leaning diners are not the main audience, but the menu has useful vegetable-forward choices such as Bhaji Fritters, Garlic Pickles, OG Bhaji Wrap, Classic Fries, and salad-friendly ordering.
