Top Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants to Savor in Orlando

Explore Orlando’s finest 100% vegetarian and vegan eateries, from bustling cafés to inventive markets.


Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or simply curious, Orlando’s dining scene offers a diverse array of plant‑based dishes that promise depth of flavor and hearty satisfaction. Local chefs have taken the challenge to craft menus that satisfy both the palate and the conscience, ensuring that even the most devoted carnivores find something irresistible.

Bombay Café

Located roughly 20 minutes east of Universal Orlando Resort, Bombay Café offers a fully vegetarian menu that pushes the boundaries of traditional Indian cuisine. The menu features a range of curries, chaat pati, South Indian specialties, and creative Indian‑Chinese fusions. Complement your meal with classic beverages such as lassi or falooda.

Ethos Vegan Kitchen

Ethos Vegan Kitchen is one of Central Florida’s rare full‑service, 100% vegan restaurants that delivers homestyle comfort food. Signature dishes include Sausage Rolls, Sheep’s Pie, and BBQ Empanadas—plant‑based versions that may surprise even the most skeptical diners.

Open daily for lunch, and offering a brunch menu on weekends, Ethos serves vegan takes on Canadian bacon, sausage patties, and other breakfast staples. Located in Winter Park, about 15 minutes northeast of downtown Orlando, it’s a must‑visit for plant‑based brunch lovers.

Leguminati

Leguminati, part of the Hourglass Social House, is a charming counter‑service spot that turns simple ingredients into flavorful vegan fare. The menu, though concise, features sandwiches, wraps, bagels, salads, and nachos—all crafted from plant proteins.

A visit also offers a chance to explore other Hourglass vendors, including Tamale Co., Foxtail Coffee Co., and Le Ky Patisserie, and to sample a curated selection of beers and wines.

Market on South

Nestled in Orlando’s Milk District, just five minutes east of downtown, Market on South houses two plant‑based concepts under one roof: Dixie Dharma and Valhalla Bakery. The venue also features a bar and a shared market space showcasing local producers and artisanal goods.

Dixie Dharma serves Southern‑style dishes such as Carolina BBQ Pulled Jackfruit, Hillbilly Chili Dawgs, and Biscuits ’n Gravy, while Valhalla Bakery offers a range of dairy‑free cookies, cakes, and tarts.

New Moon Market

Known for its organic, cold‑pressed juices, New Moon Market also offers quick‑service bowls, salads, wraps, and soups at its downtown Orlando and College Park locations.

Whether you’re grabbing a lunch bowl or a breakfast bite, be sure to sample one of their inventive juices—such as I Can See Clearly Now, Purple Haze, or Green Eyed Lady—to recharge your day.

The Sanctum Café

Situated in the Colonialtown neighborhood, near Mills 50, The Sanctum Café serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with nearly all items on the menu certified organic.

The menu spans Mexican, Italian, Thai, and other international flavors, plus bowls, salads, small plates, and desserts. A full range of cold‑pressed juices, smoothies, coffee, tea, and even cocktails ensures there’s a beverage to match any craving.

While the above spots highlight the best 100% vegan and vegetarian options, Orlando’s extensive culinary landscape—including its celebrity‑led restaurants—offers plant‑based choices throughout. Wherever you go, the city’s vibrant food culture invites you to dine with confidence.
