Info on Local Lancaster PA Area Vegetarian & Vegan Friendly Restaurants

One of the things that all of us who choose to make plants the basis of our diet and lifestyle have to contend with is finding those choices when we go out to eat. Most of us who have been at this for a while have learned what restaurants have what vegetarian or vegan options to offer in our local area. In order to assist those who are not familiar with the area we will maintain a list of local restaurants that are veg & vegan friendly.
If you visit a restaurant in Lancaster County which has veg or vegan options, please share your eating out experiences by clicking the e-mail link below and we’ll put the restaurant information here on the website as a guide to folks looking for veg or vegan friendly places to eat. Send an e-mail to info@lancastervegetariansociety.org with at the very least the name, address and phone number. The more information the better. Also if you visit a restaurant we have listed here and they are closed or you find things not as they are stated here we would appreciate you telling us as well. Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's our current list of restaurants. With your help we can keep it current. Thanks in advance.

On Orange opened on 09/30/10 in the space formerly occupied by Wish You Were Here.  From Sarah Roberts 09/02/11 -”My fiance and I live about a block from here, and this is one of our favorite restaurants in the city (we frequently go for breakfast). I know for certain that they have vegan sausage (yum) and they can make the swedish pancakes/waffles (they use the same batter) vegan for $1.00 extra. The owner usually brings our food to the table, so though I've never asked, I'm fairly certain she would be willing to accommodate to the best of her ability.” Hours are Wednesday to Sunday 7 AM to 2 PM.  Call ahead to find out exactly what their vegetarian and vegan options are.

This location opened in the Spring/Summer of 2016 and is a second location for Rice & Noodles. This location has a slightly paired down menu from the other original location as well as shorter hours. Excellent Vietnamese food and as with most Asian restaurants a lot of things can be made vegetarian or vegan if they already aren’t. As with all Asian restaurants it’s usually good to ask to make sure your dish is vegan and that they are not using fish sauce in your dish.

Isaac’s Restaurant & Deli is a local restaurant chain that was founded in Lancaster 20 years ago and it currently has 7 locations in Lancaster County. It’s got a bright funky fun atmosphere and everything in the restaurant including the names of sandwiches has a bird theme. They do offer several sandwiches that are vegetarian and if you sub mustard for the mayo they are vegan (although we don’t know about the rolls). At  times they offer vegan chili.

10/28/12 - This restaurant opened in the last week. From looking at their menu on-line they have the standard fare that you would expect of a burrito place. We do not at this time have any first hand information. Anyone who eats there is encouraged to share their experience and availability of both vegetarian and vegan options. Reported 1/25/13 “Roburrito's has a potato option which is quite tasty. So if you leave off the cheese/sour cream and stick with rice, beans, salsa, guac it is a delicious vegan option downtown. They also have a really fantastic line of hot sauces in the shop, both to put on your meal and for purchase by the bottle.”

Report to LVS on 02/09/2015 - • Are there vegetarian and/or vegan options on the menu?: Yes Vegetarian options + VEGAN CHEESE OPTIONS for pizza! Espino's Pizza uses Vegan Gourmet vegan cheese. • Is the wait staff and the chef open to making changes to accommodate you?: Espino's also does not label this very well on their menu, the only mention of it is under the "Gluten Free" option, however they'll put it on any pizza you like, it's charged like an extra topping. The chef at Espino's is exceptionally accommodating and wants nothing more than to please. • Would you return to the restaurant for another meal?: Yes Any other information that you would like to provide about this restaurant?: The staff of Espino's can be kind of... slow... dunno if that's because of a language barrier or other issues, however if you speak clearly and slowly they'll get it right.  When I got a plain vegan cheese, the vegan gourmet was perfectly melted.  With toppings it wasn't melted very well at all.
