Margutta RistorArte vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Rome’s city center (Piazza del Popolo/Via del Corso)

Iconic vegetarian restaurant in Rome, Margutta is open since 1979 and has never shown any sign of cooling. This is a luxury eatery and art gallery. Here you will find an absolutely mouthwatering selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes made with ingredients carefully chosen and strictly fresh, seasonal and local.

The same restaurant, in fact, runs also a rich garden in the Parco Veio north of Rome for the vegetables and the fruits that come from local Latium’s producers.

Not only food of the highest quality but also an exclusive location. The name, in fact, was given after the street this restaurant is on, Via Margutta, a historical narrow road off the famous Via del Corso and near Piazza del Popolo. Initially just the backroad of the palaces in Via del Babuino where the aristocrats would park their carts and horses, an artist who opened his own workshop making fountains and portraits kicked off a new era for Via Margutta and now it seems a green oasis in the heart of Rome.

The restaurant contemplates a variety of dining options.

Every day from 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm there is a buffet with some fifty recipes and four nutritional “routes” (light&detox, protein, vegan and gluten-free). A bistro-style menu from 6.30 to 11.30 pm is perfect for a light meal and street-food-style courses for an affordable dinner. Finally, they offer fancy dinner formula with elegant dishes, haute cuisine, light and tempting.

There is also a Bio Bar open from morning to evening that serves coffee, a wide range of teas and herbal teas, pastries, cakes and fruit juices and smoothies.

Even though the menu changes depending on the season, some of the dishes you won’t want to miss are pasta on a celery, truffle and apple extract sauce, fennel stew with carbonara foam, seitan crust, and spinach powder, or grilled mushroom and soy burger served with fresh French fries, freshly made veg mayonnaise, ketchup and chilli mustard.

Mater Terrae gourmet vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Rome (Piazza Navona)

Mater Terrae is the exclusive fine-dining restaurant of the 5-star luxury Bio Hotel Raphael, one of the best hotels near Piazza Navona. Along with an à la carte menu, Mater Terrae offers a few tasting menu options complete with appetizers, first and main courses, and dessert.

The ingredients used to prepare each and every gourmet dish come from organic and biodynamic farming, in line with the green and environmental-friendly building and design of the hotel.

As seasonal produce is preferred, the menu changes frequently. Depending on the season, among the starters, you can find butternut pumpkin cream with gorgonzola foam or diced Russian-style vegetables and colorful salad, complemented by good artichokes, confit tomatoes and a tempura shiso leaf, raspberry citronette.

Some of the first courses include specialties like porcini mushrooms risotto with Calabrian biodynamic saffron, creaming of cauliflower and wild puffed rice, or artichoke tortello dumpling, with pecorino emulsion, truffle, purple potato chips, and dill.

The mains range from a scrumptious eggplant parmigiana “classic but not too much”, with smoked scamorza cheese and basil leaves, and Sicilian caponata, breaded and roasted seitan, green celery pesto, sprouts, and delicately spicy yellow datterini tomato sauce.

To add to the already perfect scene is a breathtaking 360-degree view of the domes and rooftops of the Centro Storico that makes this one of the absolute best rooftop restaurants in Rome.

Romeow Cat Bistrot vegan restaurant in southern Rome (Ostiense)

If you love being cuddled by our furry friends while enjoying a nice vegetable mousse, crunchy seitan, delectable curry couscous, or some delicious velvety soup, Romeow Cat Bistrot is your place.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of cat cafes, Romeow is one of the best vegan restaurants in Rome. Its owners added a mouthwatering menu for lunch and dinner to an always-open bistro and coffee shop where you can enjoy a coffee, an afternoon tea with homemade cakes, or a nice smoothie. Everything strictly vegan, everything strictly organic.

Pretty hard to suggest a dish to try as the menu changes constantly depending on seasonal ingredients, but for example, in autumn you will want to try dishes featuring pumpkin, chestnuts or mushrooms, while in summer something with zucchini, eggplant or bell pepper. New season, new menu. The only element that is never missing are the six lovely cats that wander around and sometimes approach you for some cuddles.

  • Address: Via Francesco Negri 15
  • Website
  • Nearby landmarks: Romeow is in the hip Ostiense neighborhood and in nearby Blu’s street art along Via Ostiense and more street art along Via dei Magazzini Generali and Via del Commercio. In this area is also Rome’s old gasometer, and since you are here, do stop at La Romana for gelato, not exactly a landmark but you will thank me later.

Nativa macrobiotic plant-based restaurant in northern Rome (Valle Aurelia)

The fantastic Nativa vegan restaurant is not in the immediate city center but it’s quite close to the Vatican and very well connected via Rome public transport with metro, train and buses. They serve completely plant-based dishes that include starters, first and main courses as well as side dishes and fantastic cakes.

Their philosophy is inspired by the macrobiotic lifestyle so you will also have the option of ordering a Buddha bowl complete with all the macronutrients including proteins, carbs and veggies. Their cakes are also 100% plant-based and sweetened with fresh and dried fruits instead of white sugar. Definitely, a place to try if you are curious about this type of food or if you are a vegan yourself.

Ops! vegan buffet restaurant in Rome (Trieste/Nomentano/Piazza Fiume)

Ops! is not really surrounded by tourist landmarks, but I absolutely recommend it. This delicious vegan restaurant in Rome prefers the buffet formula, which has a twofold effect: positive because you can try a wider selection of recipes, and negative because you want to try them all. Been there, done that, so I can give you a little tip. Don’t fill your dish the first time so you can still eat if there is something you want to have a bit more of!

At Ops!, too, the selection of dishes populating the buffet depends on the seasonal produce and it’s huge. Among the ingredients, you are likely to find tofu, seitan and pasta all cooked and dressed in many different ways, and cooked and raw veggies that are seasonal at that moment. My last time there was delighted by a pumpkin carpaccio, lasagne with seitan ragù sauce, polenta with herbs, baked potatoes with paprika, delicious spicy tofu with veggies and many other delicacies.

Their selection of cakes is also pretty tempting. If you are even a little like me, you will try to resist and then you will succumb. The last one I tried was a delicious cream flavored with cardamom and cinnamon and berries on top, but I struggled between this and an original version of vegan tiramisu.

Before you enter, you grab the sign you will place on your table and you go directly to the buffet. You fill your plate as much as you like and then you place it on the scale, where the waiter will take note and put your weight on your table. The price is 2.60 € per 100 g, water and cakes are not included.

  • Address: Via Bergamo 56

Vega Food Ayurvedic vegan restaurant in Rome’s Centro Storico (Piazza Navona)

This was a lovely discovery we have done recently while strolling around the Centro Storico. When we are out all day, we tend to eat out because we find it a great opportunity to try new places. But since we are out and about exploring Rome quite often, we can’t always tuck into heavy meals such as amatriciana or coda alla vaccinara oxtail.

This is why when I saw Vega Food’s little entrance and understood it was a plant-based restaurant, I had no hesitation. Only when ordering, I found out that it was not only vegan, but they also followed the Ayurvedic nutrition and cooking principles. I was sold. Ayurveda and yoga are two big passions of mine, so Vega Food has quickly become one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Rome’s city center.

Needless to say, being Indian-inspired and cooked by Indian chefs, the dishes are rich in spices and herbs, there are several curry options, and beans and grains are perfectly cooked and combined. The rice, one of the staples of their menu, comes in different forms such as Basmati and whole-grain round-shaped ones. Among the other ingredients are also nuts and dried fruits such as raisins.

Some of their dishes include the always popular samosa fried starters, paratha and chapati flatbreads, first courses such as whole-grain rice with veggies, dahl soup, and Basmati rice with cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, pine nuts, and raisins. They also serve mains and side dishes such as salads, steamed veggies, spicy tofu stew with nuts, and rich dosa crepes.

If you are sightseeing in Rome’s city center and are not sure where to eat, I would definitely give Vega Food a try. Their rates are more than affordable and their dishes are nutritious and light, perfect to carry on with your tours for the rest of the day.

Flower Burger, plant-based burgers in Rome (Prati and Salario)

Flower Burger is a fantastic vegan restaurant in Rome, a healthy version of fast food. We tried the one in the Prati area and immediately fell in love with it, even my husband who’s not particularly in love with everything plant-based.

The burgers and sandwiches of Flower Burger appear nice and colorful but no chemical additives were used. The bun of their new green “Elf” burger is green because of the spirulina alga they used in the dough, the bun of their “Cherry” burger acquired that shade because of the beetroot used to make it, while the purple hue of their Flower and Purple Cheesy burgers is given by the extract of black carrot added to the dough.
