Best vegan restaurants in Vienna
11 venues in Vienna rated S to B for vegan, every tier backed by cited sources.
100% dedicated vegan kitchen ('veganery') confirmed by the official website, the HappyCow 'Vegan' category listing (not 'Veg-options'), and multiple independent reviewers — epn305 explicitly states '100% vegan, organic and homemade', blackbetty states 'All Vegan'. No animal products are used or present on the premises, making contamination structurally impossible.
100% dedicated vegan kitchen — no animal products on the premises. The venue explicitly brands itself "creative. healthy. 100% vegan." and states it avoids all "tierische Zusatzstoffe" (animal additives). Over 60 HappyCow reviewers corroborate the fully vegan kitchen across repeated visits; the Austrian Veganderlust blog independently lists SHIYU among Vienna's best all-vegan restaurants.
Veggiezz is a 100% vegan restaurant with multiple Vienna locations. HappyCow explicitly categorises both the Salzgries and Opernring branches as 'Vegan'; hundreds of reviews across both branches consistently describe it as a fully plant-based establishment with no animal products. The kitchen is structurally dedicated to vegan food only.
JOLA operates a 100% plant-based kitchen — Vienna's first dedicated vegan fine dining restaurant. HappyCow categorises it under the 'Vegan' venue type (not merely 'vegan options'), the Michelin Guide confirms 'outstanding vegan cuisine', and multiple independent reviewers describe it as 'fully vegan fine dining' and 'working only with plant based ingredients'. The Michelin-starred carte-blanche tasting menu is exclusively plant-based, with ingredients sourced seasonally and regionally. One HappyCow reviewer noted the owners are not personally vegan; the owner disputed this reviewer's account, and regardless, personal diet choices of owners do not affect the structural fact that no animal products are served.
Cafe Harvest is described as a fully vegan restaurant by multiple sources. HappyCow lists it as 'Vegan-friendly' and notes 'all dishes on the menu would have been vegan'. A reviewer states '100% vegan'. The Wanderlog page calls it a 'trendy all-vegan restaurant'. One HappyCow reviewer notes cow's milk is available for coffee, but the food menu is entirely vegan. This qualifies as a dedicated vegan kitchen (no animal products on premises for food).
The venue's own website states '100% plantbased & zero-proof' and 'Unsere Küche ist vollständig pflanzlich' (our kitchen is completely plant-based). This means the kitchen is 100% dedicated to vegan food — no animal products on the premises. This qualifies as Tier S under path (i) of rule 1a: a fully dedicated kitchen.
Gaia Kitchen is a 100% vegan restaurant. The venue's own website states 'vegan food, handmade, fresh ingredients, unique' and HappyCow lists it as a fully vegan restaurant. Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm all dishes are vegan. This is a dedicated vegan kitchen.
100% vegan kitchen with no animal products on premises. The venue's official website states '100% vegan' and all menu items are plant-based. This is a dedicated vegan kitchen, structurally impossible to contain meat, dairy, eggs, or other animal-derived ingredients.
100% vegan kitchen across all three Vienna locations; no animal products on premises, structurally impossible to contaminate. Official website states all bowls are 'made from plants' with 'plant-based ingredients.' Dozens of independent reviews across both HappyCow listings consistently affirm '100% vegan,' 'alles vegan,' and 'everything is vegan.' HappyCow categorises both locations under the Vegan listing type. Plant-based milks (rice, coconut, oat) used throughout.
100% dedicated vegan kitchen with no animal products on premises. HappyCow categorises Tau as a 'Vegan' venue (not merely veg-options), established September 2020. Reviewer Puschelbubu explicitly notes '100% vegan' among pros; DanielPauxberger states 'Alles vegan und extrem gut.' The venue's own online menu lists every dish as vegan (or plant-based vegetarisch in context of a vegan kitchen), with mock proteins (Sojafleisch, vegane Ente, vegane Garnelen) confirmed as entirely plant-based across the full menu.
The owner/chef Judith Ausserbrunner runs a one-woman kitchen and the venue is described as a 'vegan-vegetarian Slowfood Bistro' with all dishes being vegan (with possible vegetarian add-ons like cheese). Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm 'all vegan' and that even things that normally come with cheese can be made vegan. The owner's personal commitment and the small, single-chef operation provide strong structural safety for vegans.
