Where to Find the Best Vegetarian Food in Richmond
We recently went to RVA VegFest, a big vegetarian festival in Richmond. After soaking up all the good vibes (and good eats!). It felt like the perfect excuse to round up some of our favorite vegetarian and vegan-friendly spots right here in Richmond. Whether you’re fully plant-based or just enjoy a veggie-forward meal every now and then, this list has plenty of delicious options.
Juan More Taco
Just about everything on the menu can be made vegetarian or vegan—how amazing is that? This spot is one of the best in Richmond, hands down. The food is fresh, flavorful, and customizable. Don’t miss their brunch, which has plenty of veggie-friendly options. P.S. They also have a location in Fredericksburg!

Blue Atlas
This might just be my favorite restaurant in ALL of Richmond. Their globally inspired small plates menu means you can order everything from harissa cauliflower to pierogis. The best part? They change the menu often, so there’s always something new to try. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to revisit again and again.
The Daily Kitchen & Bar
If you have dietary restrictions, this is the place for you. The menu is super accommodating, and everything is clearly labeled. My personal favorites? The crispy Brussels sprouts, the TLT sandwich, the chickpea quinoa salad, and the spicy avocado bowl. Healthy, hearty, and always satisfying.
Gold Lion
This vegetarian café blends Indian and American flavors, and the menu is full of hearty choices. I love their TLT and the classic samosa, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything they make. Cozy, casual, and always delicious. They also do a lot of great work serving their community and they always have fun events happening.

Goatocado
If you want something filling, fresh, and affordable, Goatocado is your spot. Their bowls are packed with flavor and loaded with veggies. The “Californian” is my go-to, featuring black beans, apple-corn pico de gallo, and plenty of avocado. You’ll leave satisfied without breaking the bank.

Cobra Cabana
Cool vibes, funky décor, and a menu full of vegan and vegetarian options—what’s not to love? They’ve got a tofu version of a hot chicken sandwich, vegan mac and cheese, and tofu wings. Pair your meal with one of their cocktails and settle in for a great night.
