Bloodroot Vegetarian Restaurant

I'm not vegetarian. This is hands-down one of the best restaurants in Connecticut. Whenever non-local friends visit me from now on, this is where I'll take them.

I was blown away by everything I tried -- the new "burger", mushroom quiche, and the Brazilian couscous for dessert. I felt like I could TASTE the skill of the cooks -- the flavors and textures of everything were just perfect! I literally bought their vegetarian cookbook before ordering dessert. Again, I'm not vegetarian! It's THAT good.

The outdoor seating is by the water and it has a great atmosphere on a sunny spring day. The inside of the store is so full of history and I enjoyed browsing the little feminist bookstore. I really hope Bloodroot is here to stay for decades to come!

This place is wonderful for people are looking to stray from the mainstream eateries. I found this place to be nurturing to both my mind and stomach. The food was freshly cooked by hand by the amazing cooks in the kitchen. I enjoyed the avocado toast and the best chocolate mousse I ever had. This place has a rich charm and even has a space to look around at secondhand books. If you have a chance to visit this place I would highly recommend it.

Just as a heads up to others in a similar situation, I tend to be very tasty to mosquitos and since this place was next to the water I had to spray myself down with mosquito repellent! Otherwise it was a great trip.

Bloodroot is an absolute institution. I have been coming to this feminist enclave with my mother and aunt for years. Delicious vegan food and perfect ambiance! Try everything, and make sure to get the bread sampling!

Very funky counter-service vegan spot that is attached to a feminist bookstore.

I got their vegan jerk "chicken" but what I got did not resemble chicken at all. In fact, I was not at all impressed with the food that I got, and I felt like I could easily have cooked it at home

Probably the best part of this place were the very friendly older women who ran it, but that was still not enough for me to give them a better review

Another good thing about this place is that it is right on the water, and you can sit outside overlooking the water

Outstanding vegan place!!!  Best ever the vegan cheese plate is perfection.   This has an authentic 1970's granola cruncher vibe and I mean that with sincere respect .   If you are a vegetarian youn MUST give this place a turn.

Love love love the owners the people the cause everything about this place is just amazing thank you to everyone there :)

When I don't feel like cooking for myself I walk over to Bloodroot and I always feel well fed in such a loving environment. It is like eating in a close women friends kitchen. Every year I look forward to the kale stuffed tofu with Japanese noodles, the November Harvest feast is the best meal I have ever had in any vegetarian restaurant in any country. This restaurant is a shrine to vegetarian cooking and is an oasis for feminists. I hope it keeps going for many years so the next generation can enjoy what I have for the last 25 years. Go for the food but stay and browse through the bookstore.

This place has been here forever! That should tell you all you need to know. Casual good comfort food and nice atmosphere to hang out with friends. There is a reason they have been here so long.

Neat atmosphere, nice people and great food. We really enjoyed meeting the owner and looking around at all the pictures. They have a nice menu (not too big) and the food was delicious. We made a special trip to stop by here and we're not disappointed.

I love this place, the early feminist vibe, the well made food, and the fluffy kitties.
