Best Vegan Restaurants in Southwest Waterfront

Beyond beautiful venue, tasty shareable plates & amazing service - run, don't walk, to Philippe Chow - DC!

The vegan brunch here is awesome!! I've been before but this time had a chance to try their new menu. 10 out of 10 would certainly recommend! The staff was great, very attentive and provided a detailed description of the food when it came to the table.

We’ve been coming to Elizabeth’s for Valentine’s Day for more than ten years in a row, for good reason. First, it’s romantic, with wonderful ambiance, thoughtful preset menu options, and lovely service. Second, of course it’s delicious, but in a ways that’s at once a surprising culinary treat while also leaving you full but somehow healthier than when you arrived. If you don’t question, “how did they do that” about their vegan dishes at least a couple times throughout the meal, you just weren’t eating mindfully. And lastly, it’s a consistent, local staple that we can count on, down to Elizabeth herself facilitating things and stopping by the table in the most humble and thoughtful of ways. This place should have a Michelin Star.

First time at Oyamel. The food was excellent as was the service by Melvin. He carefully explained the menu and our many serving options. The Oyamel margarita was delicious as were the tocos and rice w mushrooms and Brussel sprout sides. The tres leches dessert was incredible! Overall, and excellent dining experience enhanced by the care of Melvin. We will return soon!

My wife and I had our Valentine's Day Lunch at Mi Vida and had an amazing experience. We had reservations and were promptly seated upon our arrival. Our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations based off foods we told him we typically liked... The food service was fast and OMG good!!! We ordered a few items to sample their food and everything was delicious: nachos, tuna tacos, oysters with chorizo, seafood empanadas(could have been alittle crispier) and carnitas... I would eat there again today just because it was so good... The drinks, the drinks, the drinks... We had a glass of Rose' because it was Valentine's Day but with our meal we had the La Medicina and the El Suave... Both were well balanced and taste great. But that El Suave is a drink from the gods... My wife and I have made it our mission to recreate this drink at our house this weekend! Mi Vida will definitely get another visit from us in the near future...
