5 curated picks 2 fully vegan 1 vegetarian 2 plant-curious
Cincinnati is a city that takes its food seriously — this is the place that turned chili into a cultural institution, after all. The vegan scene here has that same passionate, community-driven energy. The Clifton and Northside neighborhoods are home to most of the city's best plant-based spots, and the diversity of cuisines available is impressive for a mid-sized city. From Asian comfort food to vegan soul food to artisan bakeries, Cincinnati's got more plant-based depth than most people realize. Here are the best for 2026.
