Best Vegan Restaurants in Newark

Food was delicious, service was really good as well, ambience was nice and calm, and overall it was a really good experience.

Who knew vegan food could taste this good?! As a relative newcomer to the vegan world, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and tastiness of the food here. As appetizers, we had a red lentil soup and a breaded (but not fried) mushroom dish that reminded us of fried calamari. We had a mushroom main course and the Alfredo pasta, both of which were excellent, as were the Brussels sprouts (which used a tempeh sausage in lieu of the usual overly heavy bacon). The desserts too were better than expected, especially the chocolate pie. The service was friendly and attentive without being cloying. We had a reservation for the dining room, but they suggested we take patio seating instead. That proved to be a good recommendation. It was much quieter out there, and the heaters and available blankets offset a bit of chilliness. The dining room meanwhile, was pretty noisy. The meal was a bit pricey but definitely worth it for a special occasion. We will return.

Apres Village is a fun experience. The lights and decorations create a festive atmosphere, and the outdoor fireplace and space heaters keep you cozy when the sun goes down. I loved the idea of sharing dishes for the table and enjoyed the overall simplicity of choosing the food. We were a party of 4 and we tried everything we could. It was all delicious. Service was attentive and professional. We had a blast!

Local Union has wonderful, great,quality food. Service is always excellent. They have a great variety to choose from and love that they brunch choices (scrambles, benedicts, and omlettes) served until 3 every day!

Food was mostly delicious except bread in Mezze Platter was hard and dry.
