The Best Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants in Las Vegas

Everything’s bigger in Vegas—including the vegan scene.

Las Vegas might not strike anyone as being a particularly vegan- or vegetarian-friendly city, and that's a fair enough assessment if your only experience with Sin City is the Strip. But Vegas is actually a great place for plant-based eaters, and it's actually a pretty natural fit. Wellness culture is pretty big here, courtesy of our proximity to LA. In fact, there's such a strong veg scene here, it even has its own festival (scheduled for April 9, 2022).

With all that in mind, here are a plethora of (mostly) locally owned full-service restaurants that will satisfy vegans and vegetarians, as well as their meat-eating friends—from dim sum to tacos, fine dining to fast casual, on and off the Strip. These businesses approach plant-based diets not just as a niche lifestyle trend or a fad crash weight loss diet, but as the future of food.

Las Vegas has been a low-key plant-based paradise for a while now, but most of the dedicated vegetarian and vegan restaurants are casual cafes, and many are counter service. Until Saffron opened in August 2021. This gorgeous restaurant serves equally gorgeous food overseen by chef Louross Edralin (a previous Hell’s Kitchen contestant), emphasizing seasonality and local sourcing: they work with Sundown Mushrooms, a Las Vegas boutique urban mushroom farm, as well as ALT. Imports, a Las Vegas wine distributor that focuses on small, family-run wineries that embrace sustainable viticulture and take a natural approach to winemaking. At Saffron, the East Asian fusion fare is as luxurious as the dining room’s décor, with standout items like a vivid tom yum soup with medicinal mushrooms and vegetarian fish sauce and saffron red curry with a house-made curry, eggplant, sweet potatoes, green bell peppers, and zucchini, topped with chickpeas, tempura squash blossom, and served with jasmine rice. There’s also a full bar that favors Japanese beers and sake, along with a list of signature cocktails.
How to book: Make reservations online.

Marigold serves traditional Indian dishes, including a large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes on its massive menu that will also satisfy meat-eaters. For the vegetarians, try a paneer curry or paneer tikka masala, the vegetable or egg biryani, and samosa chaat. For the purely plant-based, order the chana masala or chana saag, or the mushroom matar curry. They also serve a variety of tandoori breads.

Graze Kitchen

S. Durango

“Charismatic comfort food, but make it plants.” So says Graze Kitchen’s marketing, and so it delivers. Graze is a stylish and casual space serving plant-based, gastropub-inspired comfort foods like crab cakes, Korean BBQ nachos, “firecracker” cauliflower, deviled hummus, and chili cheese fries. For your main meal, order one of their “Buddha Bowls” full of rice or grains, veggies, and proteins, and wash it down with one of their Boochcraft organic hard kombuchas, because they’re “vegan not sober.” (Seriously some solid marketing coming out of this place.)
How to order: Walk-ins only.

Truth & Tonic

The Strip

Located inside the Canyon Ranch Spa at the Venetian, Truth and Tonic Wellness Cafe is the first fully vegan restaurant on the Strip. Truth and Tonic is open for breakfast and lunch and also serves blended smoothies and fresh juice blends for those on the go. If you’re looking for vegetarian or vegan dining options for dinner, several other restaurants inside the Venetian also have a variety of options. Check out the four-course “Chef’s Go Vegan Tasting Menu” at Brera Osteria or the robust vegan offerings at the lively SUSHISAMBA.

Nacho Daddy

Various locations

At its core, Nacho Daddy is a fun-loving Vegas-bred sports bar chain, famous for their unabashedly American overflowing plates of gourmet nachos and their “Scorpion Shot” (yes, it has a scorpion in it). So, not the kind of place you’d expect to find a sizable vegan menu. But what do they say about assumptions, amiright? Nacho Daddy actually has a lengthy list of totally vegan offerings with its own dedicated menu, because why should meat-eaters have all the fun? Get the vegan loaded nachos or the flaming chick’n fajitas, because everyone loves some flaming fajitas.
How to order: Walk-ins only.

Garden Grill

Summerlin

The much-loved Garden Grill serves “artisan crafted street fare” that is 100% vegan and 100% natural—no preservatives, GMOs, MSG, hydrogenated oils, cholesterol, or artificial anything. The taco creations are their specialties, like the Stone IPA beer-battered avocado tacos and BBQ pulled jackfruit tacos. But they’ve got plenty of comfort food beyond tacos, like their carne asada fries or their Southern fried chick'n 'n' waffles with herbed mashed potatoes and gravy.

Gordon Ramsay may be known for his signature beef Wellington (in addition to his profanity-spewing TV personality), but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for distinct vegetarian and vegan menus inside the massive kitchen stadium that is Hell’s Kitchen, located Strip-side in front of Caesars Palace. Choose from items like truffle risotto, white beans in purgatory (a vegan spin on “eggs in purgatory”), pan-seared tofu scallops, and coconut three-ways for dessert.

Chef Kenny Chye is easily one of the primary driving forces behind the Las Vegas vegan movement, having founded Veggie House as well as Vegas’s first vegan drive-through Vegeway (RIP) and his own solo restaurant. And now he brings us Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum, the first all-vegan dim sum restaurant in Vegas, where he continues to innovate vegan cooking methods and elevate our understanding of what plant-based cuisine can be. Order the vegan shrimp siu mai, steamed or baked BBQ pork buns, and the egg custard tart. Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum also serves a variety of other favorite Chef Kenny’s items, like spicy kung pao beef with soy beef, vegan sushi, and hand rolls.

Located at the Whole Foods Marketplace in Boca Park, Daikon Vegan Sushi is the second fully vegan sushi restaurant to open in Las Vegas (Chikyū was the first). After just a year in operation, Daikon has a loyal fan base of customers who swear their vegan sushi is the best in Vegas. Some of their most popular rolls are the Golden State Roll (a tempura-fried California roll) and the Tropical Dragon Roll with “shrimp” tempura, jackfruit, avocado, sweet soy, chopped mango, and mango sauce. There are a bunch of other fun specialty rolls, like the Bulgogi Roll and the Lucky Red Roll, but they also have a full menu of other items to try, too; the basil fried rice and karaage are musts.

Chikyū is easily the most refined plant-based Japanese restaurant in Las Vegas, earning a fanbase for their beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared vegan sushi. The concept is a partnership between chef John Le, one of the original sushi chefs at San Francisco’s celebrated vegan sushi restaurant Shizen, and Shizen co-founder and ocean conservationist Casson Trenor. Theirs is a refined approach to vegan sushi, utilizing classic Japanese culinary techniques to highlight and honor the plant-based ingredients in much the same way that traditional sushi honors the flavors and textures of the fresh fish.
How to order: Walk-ins only.

Steve Wynn might no longer be involved with his own eponymous chain of resorts, but some of the more palatable aspects of his influence linger—like his mandate that every restaurant inside the Wynn and Encore resorts offer vegan and vegetarian options. Celebrated vegan chef Tal Ronnen still collaborates on the sophisticated plant-based menus at top fine dining establishments, including Wing Lei, SW Steakhouse, Terrace Pointe Café, and Wazuzu.

Makers & Finders Coffee

Downtown Summerlin and Arts District

With full-service locations in the DTLV Arts District and Downtown Summerlin and a counter inside AREA 15 (plus the roastery + bakery in Chinatown, Take It Easy), Makers & Finders finds a pretty wide audience across the spectrum of Las Vegas locals, from downtown hipsters to year-round ravers to yoga moms. Likewise, their menu appeals to a wide spectrum of restaurant-goers, from meat-centric Latin American comfort foods to totally vegan versions of those very same dishes, including vegan empanadas, a black bean vegan burger on sweet plantain focaccia bread, and a vegan version of a Peruvian favorite, lomo saltado.

The food at Violette's looks as decadent and gluttonous as the food at some of the most outrageously over-the-top eateries serving record-breaking burgers and milkshakes. Happily, it is all completely vegan and almost all made from scratch using organic products from local vendors as much as possible. There are plenty of lighter items to choose from like salads and wraps, but much of the menu leans towards comfort food, which is always a nice treat for those living a vegan lifestyle, since there is the perception that vegan people eat nothing but lettuce and can’t enjoy hearty meals. Violette's begs to differ. Don’t miss their weekend brunch!

Tacotarian

DTLV and Southwest Vegas

The trendy, 100% plant-based Tacotarian is so popular it now has three locations across the Las Vegas Valley. There are over a dozen different taco choices, all with plant-based proteins, as well as a selection of appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, and vegan ice cream dishes for dessert. (The downtown Arts District location also serves cocktails and margaritas.) Weekend brunch items include breakfast tacos, burritos, chilaquiles, chicken and waffles, and more. One of the co-owners of Tacotarian also founded LOCO Las Vegas, a food delivery co-op that takes half of the commission of what other food delivery platforms charge, so that restaurants aren’t losing money with each delivery order, and is cooperatively run by the local partner restaurants.
