Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Arverne

Noteworthy vegan options are few and far between in this area. Aunts et Uncles brings elevated plant-based dishes to a street lined with restaurants serving mostly animal protein entrees. The mixed vibe of dining room/cafe/retail/bar works well. There was no host to greet us, but the bartender said hi and told us to grab a seat. Our server didn’t seem to know/care that we had made a reservation online, and there were several tables open when we arrived but the place filled up quick for dine-in service. The cocktails were dangerously good, the hearts of palm “lobster” roll was a perfect starter, and the chick’n samich and double patty beyond burger w/ cheese hit the spot. Quick service without feeling rushed. Highly recommend.

This place does an amazing job across the board!

There was a dishwasher breakdown in the kitchen delayed dinner the day we came for an early reservation. Backyard treated us very well while we waiting. Marlissa, our server, was attentive and seated us with drinks and snacks. The wait became a pleasant drinks and conversation time rather than a bother.
