Best Vegan Restaurants in Orlando

"The Sanctum Cafe is part of Orlando’s Colonialtown neighborhood, just east of the Mills 50 dining and entertainment district near downtown. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, with nearly everything on the menu being fully organic. Learn more: Mills 50"

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. When discussions about health food comes up, the usual descriptions that resonate are tasteless and bland. But at The Sanctum cafe, the owners aim to dispel such things."

"Ferncreek Ave., Suite D. With 4.5 stars out of 425 reviews on Yelp, the vegetarian and breakfast and brunch spot, offering coffee and tea and more, has proven to be a local favorite."

"Church St., Unit #112, the vegan and gluten-free spot, which offers ice cream, frozen yogurt and more, is the highest-rated inexpensive vegan restaurant in Orlando, boasting 4.5 stars out of 296 reviews on Yelp. Curious to know more?. "Artisanal and small-batch dairy and vegan-friendly ice cream made in-house with locally sourced ingredients," the business states on Yelp in the section explaining specialties."

"If you’re vegan or have a dairy allergy and looking for the best ice cream in Orlando then this is absolutely the place for you!. The Greenery creamery specializes in dairy free ice cream (although they have ice cream with dairy in too) homemade in small batches using organic and locally sourced ingredients. I have always been skeptical about dairy free ice cream but theirs is the best I’ve ever tried!"

"Although not totally vegan (they use milk from local Florida grass fed cows), The Greenery Creamery is doing their bit with a great range of dairy-free ice creams that are seriously scrumptious. Flavours are creative and change every day, with seasonal specials. Right now there’s a vegan spiced ginger molasses cookie filled with a pumpkin cinnamon almond ice cream."

"All the flavor, but none of the meat-that’s what you’ll find at Ethos Vegan Kitchen!. Located in Winter Park, this full-service restaurant offers a 100% vegan breakfast, lunch, and dinner!. Not to mention they also serve a weekend brunch, so you no longer are left wondering where to go for a vegan breakfast burrito and a mimosa!"

"Where: 601 S New York Ave, Winter Park, Florida 32789Web: Ethosvegankitchen.comMenu sample: A Vegetable Galette of seasoned carrots, potatoes, and broccoli wrapped in a layer of flaky pastry and baked until golden brown. They also have soups, salads, sandwiches, and pastas."

"Ethos is the first 100% vegan restaurant I tried once I stopped eating meat. They have an expansive menu of sandwiches, wraps, burgers, pastas, pizza, and salads too. If you are new to eating a veg diet, or want to take a meat-eater to dinner, this is the place to go."

"The owners of Bombay Café closed their longtime veg-only eatery to focus on a new Indian street food restaurant situated in a larger space just down the street. BSK’s menu is an intriguing amalgam of the quick eats served in cities from Delhi to Chennai – dishes varying from kale chaat to fish colombi to momo to hakka noodles. It’s a large menu, but the “gola” station serves the ideal Florida treat – shaved ice in a host of flavors and toppings."

"Warm, melty grilled cheese: that's serious comfort fare right there. At Toasted, they level it up a notch with gourmet takes on the good old ooey-gooey, flat-pressed fave that takes you straight back to childhood. For nostalgia junkies and "safe" eaters, they've got the 101 (that's actually what they call it), simple, unfancy tomato and cheddar."

"There’s a reason that this local favorite has Communitea in its moniker. Dandelion Communitea Cafe has taken strides to embrace the community. The café hosts community clean-ups, picking up litter in local parks, and teams up with New Growth Urban Farm, which is currently curating a garden for the café, showcasing the ability to grow (a lot) of food in a small space."

"When you’re on vacation, or even just hosting someone who is, you always end up eating meals between meals, having a few extra drinks, and accepting that it’s okay to have dessert twice in one day. But after a few days of that, you’re going to need a reset. When that happens, go to Dandelion Communitea Café."

"Unabashedly crunchy and definitively organic, this pillar of the sprouts and tempeh and green-tea dining scene serves up creative and excellent plant-based fare in a refurbished old house that invites folks to..."

"Plant-based dining is at an all-time high in Orlando and one restaurant not to miss is Winter Park Biscuit Company. Everything on their menu, right down to the sauces, is completely plant-based. The menu is filled with tempting options, but we suggest the truffle butter biscuit – a flaky oat buttermilk biscuit served with a side of truffle butter – or the crispy chik sandwich – a vegan chicken cutlet with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo on a brioche bun."

"Winter Park Biscuit Co. has been known to the locals since 2017 when the husband-wife-owned business started doing pop-up kitchens around Orlando. The restaurant moved into a brick-and-mortar location inside East End Market in 2020. Diners repeatedly ask again, and again and again, if the crispy "chicken" sandwich is really vegan (it's made of a soy and pea protein patty) or if the "buttermilk" biscuits really contain dairy."

"Run don’t walk to this delicious vegan spot even your non-vegan friends will love!. Located inside East End Market, this spot serves up delicious chicken sandwiches, tenders, salads, and more. The chicken tastes so much like the real thing, you won’t even miss it."

"On July 29, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex updated its mask policy. Guests, including those who have been vaccinated, must wear face coverings in all indoor locations at the visitor complex. This includes attractions, attraction queues, show viewing areas, restaurants and bus transportation to the Apollo/Saturn V Center, according to a news release."

"Visit an operating NASA launch headquarter, just a short distance from Orlando, at the Kennedy Space Center. It's the only place on Earth where you can tour launch areas, meet a veteran astronaut, and train in a spaceflight simulator. Don't miss your chance to explore the place where many of mankind's greatest accomplishments happened."

"When organizing your list of things to do in Orlando with kids besides Disney, make sure the Kennedy Space Center makes the cut. This hands-on space museum features everything from artifacts to self-guided tours. The 60 interactive simulators immerse guests in a true-to-life spaceflight experience."

"Situated in downtown Orlando, this bar feels like a little forest and you feel like a forest man inside it. The inside decoration of the bar is mostly wooden in nature and many decoration pieces are made up of woods. The tables and the bar counter are beautifully crafted pieces of trees."
