Best Vegan Restaurants in Short Pump

"Ipanema Cafe has been Richmond’s premiere vegan spot since 1998, and has recently come under new ownership. This local, black-owned sandwich shop and bar is located in the basement of a small building in the heart of the VCU school district on West Grace Street. It’s a nice, quiet place to grab dinner and drinks with your friends."

"Coming in second place is Sugar Shack, which was featured in USA Today’s top donut shops in the USA article in honor of National Donut Day…AKA they’re pretty legit. This neighborhood shop is rustic and features different flavors that look and taste like all your favorite candy bars. Flavors include Baby Ruth, M&M, Butterfinger, and Somoa."

"Sugar Shack Donuts is on Thrillist's definitive list of the 33 Best Donut Shops in America, so it has to get some respect. Ultimately, its ranking on these lists is what attracts many donut-eating visitors to Richmond. Flavors include "Tastes Like a Samoa," Chocolate Butterfinger, and Apple Cake."

"Highlights: this is one of the easiest places to eat-- the whole menu is veg, and so much of it is gf too!. It has a fun diner-ish vibe, and there are tables outside too. Noms I recommend: I'm loyal to the vegan chicken salad wrap on a gf tortilla with the potato salad side."

"This cute eatery has a totally vegan menu of traditional cafe fare. In the early Fall, they tend to have a seasonal flatbread pizza featuring chanterelles and red onion that is divine. Must-tries: Curried Butternut Squash Soup & Vegan Chicken Salad Sandwich."

"Caribbean and soul food with a handful of vegan options including veggie tacos and African fried spinach. www.truesculturalkitchen.com/. 415 West Grace Street"

"You’ll have to head about 10-15 minutes outside the city of Richmond to hit up this vegan spot, but it’s definitely worth the drive!. Hang Space is a fully vegan comfort food restaurant located in Richmond’s southside neighborhood of Bon Air. When opening this restaurant, the owners’ main goal was to introduce vegan food to a new part of the city and create a community space where people could come together over a meal."

"This casual restaurant features an all-vegan menu of delicious vegan burgers and other fried delights. Get ready to be overly full and to scratch that fast-food itch that’s harder to satisfy when you’re a vegan. Also, keep your eye out for some of their seasonal specialties - the Steak Lee Roth vegan philly cheesesteak is incredible."

"Grabbed some takeout from Hang Space during our drive through Richmond. Man, this did not disappoint. Before stepping foot in the restaurant I knew Tickl..."

"We love finding new restaurants, but when we say SB’s Lakeside Love Shack is new, we mean NEW…as in they just opened in November 2017. But all we can say is, “Where have you been all our lives?. ” This sure-to-be local favorite has already made a buzz and their all-day breakfast is just one of the reasons."

"Guests highly recommended the spicy tuna and smoked salmon, along with their specialty river roll and miso soup. Couples especially found this restaurant great as a date spot, as it offers a very quiet, fine-dining ambiance with soft lighting and music. The service is also highly recommended, and you are sure to have a grand time here."

"19 South 13th Street, RVA 23219Website | Facebook | Photo: Yelp. Although it may be packed on a Saturday night, Kobe’s generously stuffed sushi rolls make the busy atmosphere melt away. If you’re in the mood for more entertainment, take a peak down into Kobe’s basement for the hibachi portion of the restaurant."

"As the name implies, Osaka Sushi and Steak provides a menu that goes well beyond just sushi. And in some cases, that might mean that the sushi gets a bit lost in the mix. But not at Osaka Sushi and Steak."
