Perfect example of how you can't judge a book by its cover. The restaurant looks very unassuming from the outside. Inside, the food was amazing, and the service was excellent. The vegan "meats and cheeses" were spot on and full of flavor. We had drinks, apps, and dinner. You know a restaurant is good when everyone is still raving about it the next morning. Highly recommend.
Unexpectedly delightful. Outside appearance belies the warm inviting eclectic atmosphere within. Staff extremely engaging and friendly. Food was out of this world. Excellent variety of hearty meals and appetizers that made us return the next day for more. Terrific selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Rotating dessert menu gave us even more variety and everything was expertly seasoned and full volume flavor. Portion sizes exceeded my expectations. Bathrooms very clean, though inaccessible to many, as it rests at the bottom of a steep stairwell.
I recently ordered takeout from Vegan A.F. in Brattleboro, VT, and it was fantastic! The chorizo sliders were flavorful and perfectly spiced, with a delicious sauce that tied everything together. The pra ram tofu bowl was rich and satisfying—the tofu was crispy, and the creamy peanut sauce paired perfectly with the veggies and rice noodles.
We’re in town for my birthday and having dinner at Vegan AF was on the list of things I was looking forward to! We arrived earlier than our reservations and were seated right away. Beautiful night so we sat at the bar outside on the deck. We started with the Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Rounds. Sweet, delicious, crispy, and great starter. Lindsay and Nick teamed up to provide us with top notch service for our entire visit. For our entrees we went with the Maple Chipotle Glazed Meatloaf and Pra Ram Tofu Bowl. Both were fantastic. I finished off with a slice of vanilla cake and a Vegan AF t shirt as a birthday souvenir. Thank you Vegan AF team for a wonderful birthday dinner!!
Such a great, unique experience! We sat on the deck overlooking the wooded stream, our dog at our feet. Lindsay was our server, and so full of energy and enthusiasm. Really enjoyed what she brought to our experience (until it got busier and we didn’t see her again after ordering.) We split the sweet potato app, and the pineapple/coconut drink (yum!) What lacked in volume was more than made up for in flavor. I got the peanut noodles, husband the meatloaf. We both loved our dishes (pup gives two paws up for the noodles.) Another waiter came by for our dessert order - vanilla cake - which took a strangely long time, but finally came (maybe 25 mins later.) Sadly without the birthday candle Lindsay had promised. Oh well. It was still a really lovely meal, worthy of the special occasion.
5 stars is not enough. Local ingredients, delicious food, outstanding cocktails, and service was perfect. We had the minestrone soup as a starter and it could have been a meal. It was the perfect pick for a cool night. Our entrees were delicious but I wanted room for dessert so after they packed it up for me we shared the most amazing vegan chocolate mousse I have ever had. 10/10
As someone from Los Angeles, where vegan dining experiences are not hard to find, Vegan AF blew all other Vegan restaurants out of the water! My partner and I were on a 5 day road trip across New England towns when we stumbled onto Vegan AF. We typically have a hard time finding vegan food, let alone exceptionally delicious Vegan food, but vegan AF was absolutely scrumptious! I cannot emphasize enough how delectable everything we ate was. We were left wanting more room in our stomachs because we were hoping to try to everything else. Give no second thought. GO TO VEGAN AF! The chef’s creations are worth the visit.
A hidden gem in Vermont. This unassuming restaurant was a true delight. The food was absolutely delicious- so inventive and creative without being pretentious. It can rival and beat many of the NYC vegan restaurants that I’ve had. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming especially Nikki. Then have over 50 years of experience and it SHOWS on the plate. Everything was amazing and we would definitely go back just to eat here again!
