Best vegan food around! Soup was scrumptious, broccoli appetizer was off the chain, mac and cashew cheese was magical. You've got to try this!

I live in Toronto, Canada and I was visiting the area for my wife's birthday. Both her and I are vegan and we often enjoy travelling and enjoy trying the local food. So for her birthday we tried Vegolution's take out to take back to our campsite. The atmosphere was excellent with beautiful old plants and kind staff. The staff offered their recommendations and we listened, thus enjoying the experience more. Thank you to Vegolution's for an excellent birthday dinner back in July 2024. While I understand our review is late as we are writing our review in October, but the food was that memorable that this review was on our list to complete. We hope this review gives more vegan travellers with dietary restriction ease to eat at Vegolution so that they can enjoy the food as much as we did. Hope to eat here again one day!

Omg so good!! The place was so cute too! The staff was so friendly too. I got the donair and poutine and 10/10 recommend on both! I have never had either, I’ve been veg almost my whole life so this was such a great experience 🥺 I placed my order for pick up.

Absolutely delicious vegan and vegetarian food. So many different choices, and everything is expertly prepared with care and precision. If you're looking for excellent plant-based fare in Saint John, look no further. Local beers on tap provide an excellent complement to a wonderful dining experience.

Just had dinner here last night. We each ordered a Moscow mule (new drink on their drink menu, one of our favorites). They were pretty tasty. The wait staff was cute and seemed excited about making them. The menu is the same every time we go and in my opinion could use a bit of a change when it comes to the entrees. We ordered four apps instead of a main: taquitos, Brussel sprouts, sticky bits and maple honey “wings”. Everything was super yummy. The sauces were great additions. The taquitos could have used a bit more sauce or maybe some salsa, as they were a bit dry…we still enjoyed them though. This place seems to struggle to stay open and I think part of the issue is location (in the mix with some other restaurants or around prince william st maybe) and table settings. Lots of seating for two…feels tight and a bit dark, but cozy. We will be back regularly because we want a restaurant like this to stay open.

This was my first time and I was wowed to be sure! We had the soy bites and the veggie burger and it was my absolute favorite veggie burger I had ever tried. Not dry, very moist with delicious flavors and didn't look like meat which is important for me🤤 The ambiance is adorable and our server was fantastic 10/10! Am already planning to go back!

It was an incredible first experience for my boyfriend and I tonight, from the atmosphere down to the food! We both throughly enjoyed the bruschetta, smoked sweet potato fries, veggie donair, and “chickan” burger that we tried. It is most definitely a spot we would go to again - we highly recommend!!!

Friendly service and really delicious food, very good chef. Been wanting to try it for a while now and glad I finally got there. Good size menu, something for everyone even if you are not vegan. Parking: Along the street, it wasnt too bad due to the fact that I dont mind a long walk. Parking isnt good anywhere in downtown Saint John. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible.

We visited in July 2024 based on its number one rating on trip advisor. We came in for late lunch/early dinner. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We were seated promptly but had to wait until the server finished her conversation with their coworkers prior to getting a menu. After getting our menus and getting a bit of time of time to review, the server returned to see if we had questions. I placed an order for a beer and she left to go get it without taking my husbands drink order. She brought the beer back with too much head on it and made some excuse about the heat. We then made our food order and my husband asked for his drink and no pickles on the burger. The waitress left and put the order in with the cook staff. We could hear her say no pickles and there seemed to be confusion. Meanwhile the drink my husband requested was forgotten about, which seems weird as again, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Several minutes later after our server finished socializing with coworkers, she realized she forgot the drink. On her way back, with the drink our food was ready, and even after requesting no pickles, the burger showed up with pickles. My husband mentioned it and it was taken back and a new order wasn t created, the pickles were simply picked off. The food was alright tasting and as we were finishing, our server quickly grabbed our plates and brought a bill. Not really asking if we wanted anything else and I still had 1/2 a beer to finish. Overall the experience was disappointing and I wouldn t recommend this restaurant to anyone. It does not live up to its number one rating.

We took our vegan friends here for lunch and it was incredible! Even if youre not a vegan or vegetarian this place is absolutely worth the visit, some of the best food weve had in Saint John so far for sure. More flavorful than most of the bigger restaurants that have been recommended to us! The food was delicious, service was amazing and atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable. We ordered burgers, donair, the brussel sprout appetizer and the vegan Cesar salad (highly recommend). Everyone loved their food, best vegan/veg (you can get regular cheese on it) burger we all have ever had. Moscow mule cocktail was great too! 10/10 honestly miss the food and already have my next order planned out for when were back in town! The owner is lovely!

I was in Saint john from Thursday to Sunday, left Sunday morning at 8am. We ate at Vegolution for lunch thursday, dinner friday, and brunch Saturday. We didnt always love everything but we ALWAYS loved something. The decor is cute, warm, interesting and inviting. We spent a lot of time chatting with our server, the chef, and a woman that I assume is the owner, and they were amazing. Best part is that they were able to steer us toward the best parts of saint john, not just the tourist traps. We genuinely considered going back Saturday night for dinner too but thought 4 times in 3 days might be a little weird. The toquitos were SO good, and we tried most of the menu, but my favourite by far were the fries... fresh cut, super crispy, my favourite part of every meal. And the vegan creme brule!! So good!! First we thought the portion was really small but by the time we finished sharing, we were both satisfied and the serving size was just right. Thanks for being such a great host to us, Vegolution - well make it a point to go back next time we go out east. Vegetarian options: Mostly vegan but some vegetarian dishes (that can also be made vegan). A full brunch menu on Saturdays (savoury and sweet options) AND multiple desserts to choose from (a big deal for vegans!!)

Summary: Food & ambiance good; service underwhelming.. This veggie/vegan focused restaurant has a great vibe, situated in an older building in downtown Saint John. GFod was good quality, with portions being on the smaller side but prices were a tad high for what we got. The downside for us was being seated at a high traffic table with a wobbly bench. Other patrons were just leaving as we were sat so it was a missed opportunity as the staff could have offered us a more suitable table given we had a senior citizen in our party. Wait staff took a longish while to take our order and to bring our food and drinks all while the place was mostly empty.

Amazing! As a vegan this is basically my favourite place in Saint John. Warning, they are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (I didn t know that and planned to go every day) The brussels are great, but so is everything else tbh. The kombucha is fantastic, the chef has an art wall at the back, the ambiance is cozy and the service excellent.

I have been here a couple times before. The food was ok, but over priced and the service was lacking. I recently ordered the soup for take out, and I was extremely disappointed. Not only was the portion size ridiculously small, but the price they charged for it was outrageous. $15 after tax, and it was not even as big as my mug. The portion looked like a cup of soup rather than a large serving, and it was bland to boot. In addition, they charged me for the take out container. Being a vegetarian I really want to like this place but I keep being let down.

Pur recent meal was stellar, best one yet and weve been going since they opened! It just gets better and better! We had the Brussles, so tasty! Tried the Taquitos for the first time...so tasty and fresh and crisp! (Black bean, sauteed onion, spices, tvp, vegan cheese, salsa fresca, cilantro, jalapeno, avocado crema.) Of course the crunchy Santa Fe salad is the best in the city...and HUGE. But the ultimate Blow Yoir Mind dish was the Pappardelle Bolognese! Wow! That home-made pappardelle was off the charts!!! And the sauce was superb. Highly recommend!

The Kentucky-fried tofu is a life changing experience. The burgers are amazing and the Brussels sprouts are the best Ive ever eaten. The prices are super reasonable given the quality of the food, and eating in is a great experience, but having take out as an option is always excellent.

The food here is really amazing with all vegetarian options which is something amazing for a vegetarian like me.

Loved the Sticky Korean Soy Bits! The owner (?) was like: The carnivores really like the Sticky Bits Honestly if we weren t in a vegetarian restaurant I would have though it was pork! The cheeseburger was 6/10 from a carnivore perspective, which is saying a lot (10/10 from a veggie perspective). The fries were fantastic!! The real question for these carnivores will we go back? The answer is YES! Can t wait to try the other items on the menu! Go check it out Saint John peeps! (The interior could use a revamp, from the old diner days to Burgerology, it s dark and uninviting, too cramp, too small, lots of people doing takeout) Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Restaurant (everything)

I never eat outside of my own home. Its probably been 6 - 7 years since Ive eaten in a restaurant. Celiac disease means even with accidental cross contamination I am typically looking at 6 - 8 weeks recovery time. So I just dont bother. Yesterday my friend suggested we try Vegolution. I saw a post with a picture about how they prepare their gluten free options and was feeling brave so I agreed to try. I am soooooo glad I did The food was amazing, AND I didnt have any issues or reactions. We even had dessert, as a former gluten free baker I was super impressed with everything! Dietary restrictions: I have Celiac disease and appreciate the efforts the staff took to ensure my food was safe for me to enjoy.

Only vegan restaurant in Saint John. Found the portions very small specially the main course. For $29 the wild mushrooms fettuccine was extremely small. Plus it was heavy on fats, resulting in feeling a tad bit sick. The Korean soy bits were oily cold and very salty. The fried Brussel sprouts were as the name suggested super fried. The taquitos were tasty but again so fried and the avocado crema was so salty. Not worth going back Vegetarian options: Vegetarian friendly Dietary restrictions: Vegan restaurant

December 23, 2023

This is the portion size for a $20 appetizer at Vegolution. No, I didnt eat any before snapping the picture. Its mushrooms and olives. Thats it. They may be locally sourced or foraged mushrooms, but I counted 5 olives and less than 10 small mushrooms. This is the second time Ive visited while in town on business. I had the same reaction the first time. I paid over $20 for half a broccoli. The dishes tasted ok, but I cant justify the taste for feeling this ripped off. You certainly made your profit margins off of me for the last time.

For the price, the quality of the donair was... not there. And the quantity of the important ingredients were not there. The korean bbq bites were good-not-great quality, low qty for the price. I feel like there are plenty of places around that offer a few vegan options in the area, that a vegan establishment would really have to set themselves apart and doing it by price aint exactly the first idea that comes to mind. Staff seemed nice and the atmosphere was nice. Just had to double check that the bill didnt auto include a livable wage charge or notification. Nope, still just a tip on top of ridiculous prices.

Today we were in the mood for soup and salad and this place came up in a search from Google for just that. My wife and boy are not vegetarian but I am. So brought them there and we were nervous when we saw the place from outside but gave it a try. We were not disappointed in the least. My wife admitted to me that she is now willing to switch to a vegetarian diet after such a good meal. She had the lentil/pea/potato soup and I had the Vegetable Bowl Salad. My boy had the poutine and of course we nibbled his. His poutine was the best poutine I have ever eaten in my life. I highly recommend this place!

Amazing food! Best French fries in Saint John. Dont pass on this place even if you are not vegan or vegetarian. The vegan donairs are amazing and not greasy. The burgers are great. The salads are excellent. The poutine is sinful. The staff are wonderful and friendly! One of our go-to places to eat.

3 Reasons why you need to try VEGolution As someone who works on the road and is an avid foodie I must say when I visited VEGolution it made my heart and stomach full! I ve been a vegetarian for about a year now which has not been easy, and this place knows how to accommodate. 1. Atmosphere When you first walk in to this #1 rated restaurant you are bombarded with smells that make your mouth water. On top of that the place just looks earthy and cool! It has got a bunch of live plants and beautiful wooden seats that add to the environment leaving you feel like you re almost in nature. 2. Staff The whole kitchen staff is out in the open creating an even more open concept dining experience. They are super friendly and more then open to answer any of the questions you might have about the selection of food. The servers are well trained in helping you come up with a decision and are super knowledgeable. They even helped me pick out some cool local hikes in the area whilst I am staying in town. ABOVE AND BEYOND! 3. FOOD Oh, my goodness where do I even start There is a 100% Reason why VEGolution is the number one rated restaurant in New Brunswick the food here is incredible! If you are a vegan this place is for you and even if you re not a vegan/vegetarian THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU! I have spent the last two nights Dining here and I have not been disappointed. On the first night I got the Vegan tofu Curry which was fantastic with beautifully seared tofu and fresh vegetables with a bed of curry sauce YUM! Second night I got their in-house homemade cheeseburger with their award-winning poutine. The burger is made from brown rice and mushroom and it must be one of the best veggie burgers I have ever eaten. The Poutine Well, let us just say you must go there to try it out because there just aren t any words to describe it Located in the heart of Saint John s, New Brunswick it is very easily at the top of list for must eats! Check it out for yourself!

Service was above great! Server was friendly, polite and personable. The food was just ok. The cheese on the poutine was minimal and coated in a nasty seasoning. I told the server I didnt like it, but they would not change my dish, so money wasted and I was hungry. All good though, I found food elsewhere.

Zero options for young children. No kids menu and they wont do half size orders. Like thats really hard to do with a pasta order. No juices either, unless you consider kombucha a kids juice...... I had the Donair, and it was meh. The tortilla wrap they used must have been on its last days. It was tough like leather.

The only vegetarian restaurant in Saint John is a gem! 90% of the menu is vegan according to the chef/owner. The quality of the food is second to none, as good as the best vegan restaurants in Toronto and Montreal! Beautifully presented and so delicious! The interior of the restaurant is stunning, especially with restored original stamped tin ceiling. Not to be missed for both visitors to and residents of Saint John.

Excellent service, diverse menu and great overall experience! Stopped in on a Saturday night during a trip to Saint John with my partner who is not at all vegetarian or adventurous with his diet. Our server, Steve gave us awesome suggestions and was super friendly. I had the vegan donair and my partner had the vegetarian poutine, we were both so happy with our meals! We split the carrot cake for dessert which was amazing. I definitely recommend stopping in to give it a try.

Ive been a meat lover my whole life, and have only been trying vegan for the past week. We decided to try Vegolution to inspire me, and they did NOT disappoint! Tried the vegan nachos and cheese, the poutine with tofu curds, the vegan donair, and vegetarian version of their burger. The nachos were ok, the sauce was more like a thick soup kind of like a potato puree but still good. The poutine was very good the fries are AMAZING. Im super picky and Im telling you these are the best fries in town, cooked in non GMO canola oil. I never would have known the tofu curds were not cheese, so good. The donair was tasty, but oh my oh my that burger! It was amazing! The bun is toasted to perfection, delicious sauces and you would never know it wasnt a beef patty. My boyfriend was shocked, honestly one of the best if not THE best burger in Saint John. The staff were absolutely wonderful, friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. They are pationate about their food. The restaurant is beautiful, and I love how they are environmentally concious. We will be going back and spreading the word!

Was looking for some place for vegetarian/vegan eats in Saint John & happily happened upon Vegolution. Food was all really delicious, decor is eclectic, funky & interesting, kitchen & wait staff were all super-friendly and attentive, even though the place was full. Smoked sweet potato fries (which we shared as an app) were amazing - the smoking gives a whole new dimension to one of my favourite sides. We had the veg/tofu curry & wild rhubarb salad - both very tasty. A beet/carrot cake for dessert was really yummy, the beets providing an interesting twist to the usual carrot cake. I m a foodie & quite a good cook so I tend to be somewhat critical of restaurant meals that aren t as good or better than I can make myself :) This place deserves a visit for sure and I ll be back.

We took our family for an outing last week to St. John for the day. We had big plans and all those plans fell through. We went to get sushi but everything was closed or takeout only. My wife, who is vegan, suggested we go to Vegolution. Begrudgingly, my father in law and I agreed to go. We sat down, nice decor. My 3 year old and newborn were as welcome as we were, which, as a chef I know isn t always the case. Kids can be nuts but ours are very well behaved. Anyhow.. I ordered Sticky Soy bites as an app and the burger as an entree. So did my father in law. My wife ordered sweet fries and bruschetta. First things first... sticky soy bites... incredible. One of the tastiest things I ve ever eaten, the chef was even kind enough to tell me some of the ingredients in the sauce. The burger was mind blowing. Absolutely on point. Then the bruschetta... oh man... so good. Strawberry balsamic reduction and vegan parm as well. Service was 10/10. Food was 11/10. I really wish they were based in Moncton. Maybe one day. To cap this review off I would like to say that I m not vegetarian or vegan. I really liked meat but this place left me satisfied for hours after and still dreaming of the sticky soy bites. 12/10 stars. Highly recommend.

Their take on classic dishes like Poutine are interesting to say the least, with shaved mushroom chips and deep fried cheese curds (if you dont want to go full vegan). I enjoyed my meal, the staff was extremely friendly and good mannered. The location itself has a great ambiance and decor. Would def recommend this spot to anyone who wants to try something new and fresh.
