Fantastic Orlando Vegan restaurant

Superb atmosphere - really large and classy and filled with interesting art - and friendly service. We gobbled up the food (breakfast skillet and bruschetta sandwich) before I had a chance to take a picture. Well worth the drive!

Pros: Large comfy seating area and bar, Super friendly service, Expansive creative menu

Cons: None

Staff is great, food is okay

Have been several tines, in fact was my first fully vegan restaurant. They always were so very innovative and good. Got the "BBQ Pork sandwich ". Y'all it was flat out tofurkey ham slices with BBQ sauce. I mean, I like tofurkey...but to call this a BBQ pork sandwich?? The Cole slaw on it was good, but was the most disappointing experience I had here. I wasn't even mad, just disappointed. Our server came over and saw me staring and asked if it was alright...and I just shrugged...yeah, alright was the appropriate word. A manager came over later to ask and said the same thing...she was the one that told me it was straight up tofurkey! They did offer me something else, and free dessert...which was nice of them (didn't take it), but I just wanted a good vegan prok sandwich. It was disappointing from what was a really great restaurant that got me started on my vegan journey.
Again, not bad. Great staff great atmosphere, just expected better.

Back again from Scotland

Excellent food in Orlando 30/40 minutes from Kissimmee and worth the journey if a vegan visiting Orlando area. Made the journey for Brunch. Pancake were fab, the breakfast skillet is PHENOMENAL !!! The sausage is amazing. You have to try here if looking for plant based/vegan in Orlando.

Pros: Fully vegan, AMAZING FOOD, Brunch at weekends

Tasty

I enjoyed my meal here but the food took ages to come so there was a lot of waiting, and was tasty but nothing extraordinary. I had the buffalo chicken wrap with coleslaw which was as expected. My partner had meatloaf which was nice (like sausage) - we'd never had before - vegan or non vegan! Parmesan on garlic knots was nice.

The Ethos is Right

We were greeted at the door and shown to our table by the extremely friendly Sean. We started with a Sausage roll and dipping sauce as an appetizer. My main meal was Lasagne and two slices of garlic bread. My wife had the Meatloaf, mashed potato and vegetables. These are quite large serves so when my wife was full after a few mouthfuls of meatloaf I ended up with the remainder. I never learn! This is important for me as I would really like dessert, something I rarely make at home. Well in the end I managed the delicious Chocolate Amaretto Mousse. So light it was like eating chocolate air. The main courses are nice and hearty (wholesome, filling) with plenty of flavour. The three main proteins come from seitan, tofu and tempeh. If sharing meals or having more than one course you might like to choose different proteins.

Pros: Very reasonably priced, Comfortable seats, air conditioned , Friendly staff

Fully vegan restaurant with some issues

I really want to love Ethos, but I’ve been burned by them too many times. The food is inconsistent and the service is almost always terribly slow. The servers themselves are great, but the wait for food is so long.

I’ve had several pizzas with tons of flour on the bottom, food being inconsistent from order to order.

If we go, I pretty much only get the sheep’s pie at this point because it’s the only dish that’s ever been consistently the same for me. The garlic knots are good too. But otherwise I avoid going here if I can.

Pros: Family friendly , All vegan

Cons: Slow service, Inconsistent food

My favorite restaurant

My wife and I eat here about once a week—sometimes more. The food is always fantastic and so is the service. I don't think I've tried a dish here that I didn't like.

Pros: Fantastic food, Good portion to price ratio, Good music

Cons: Parking lot—people ignore the one way signs a lot, Chicken parm sandwich is only available on Thurs

Perfect Ethos

This is my second time dining here. My husband, who isn't 100% vegan , loved the meatloaf. I enjoyed the coconut curry wrap with mashed potatoes and gravy. Their garlic knots are amazing!! Service was friendly, Ray was a delight. My only complaint is it's difficult to decide what to eat from their extensive menu 😋.

Pros: Service , Laid back atmosphere , Garlic knots!!

Disappointed

I was very excited about visiting, and it’s a huge space with a great menu and all vegan, plus a great staff. But I’ve found with vegan places that have been around for a while that the food is just kind of bland. I liked the Caesar salad and the meatloaf was good, but the vegetables were just cooked with no added flavor. The sheep pie and crab cake had almost no taste. Maybe I need to try it again, but this was a letdown.

Worth a visit

They carry a full vegan menu with a good selection. The dining room is large enough.

Want to love

I really want to enjoy the food here but I just can’t get down with it. Seems very processed and just lacks any real flavor or pizazz. I do love that it’s an all vegan restaurant though 🙌🏻

Very extensive Vegan Menu, Fantastic Service, Great Prices

If you only have time to go to one vegan restaurant go to this one.
My wife and I have been plant based for 9 years. Whenever we travel we look for good vegan restaurants that we can depend on. This is one of those! The menu is as extensive as I have ever seen so there is something for every taste. They do have a breakfast scramble that is only offered on weekends. We had the coconut curry wrap. The textures were extraordinary and the flavors stood out and also blended together like a symphony. We also had the BBQ "pork" sandwich and liked it but it was a bit too "wet" in my opinion.

The location is great for a walk in the nearby Central Park or sidewalk shopping in beautiful Winter Park.

Pros: Extensive Extensive Extensive Vegan Menu, Extraordinary Great Food, Superb Friendly Unhurred Service

Cons: Wish they served the veggie scramble weekdays.

Rico, bien servido y barato

Pedimos 2 piqueos y un plato cada uno y quedé más que satisfecho (podría haber pedido un solo plato).

Todo rico, y super contundente.

Pros: Rico, Bastantes opciones, Barato

Cons: Pocas opciones saludables, que no sean ensalada

A Dependable Orlando Classic

Unless you’re brand new to veganism, there’s not too much about this place that’ll blow your socks off. However, it’s a reliable and reasonably priced diner with good portion sizes that has sit down service, long business hours, a kids menu (That apparently adults can order off of too!), large tables for hosting big groups, and has good parking while being close enough to downtown Winter Park to walk there from the train station.

As for the food itself, if you’re not sure what to get try something vaguely Italian. My personal favorite is the thicccc tofu ricotta calzone. Big enough to split as it covers a dinner plate. The only items I’ve had a bad time with are sausage roll appetizer (portion too small for the price) and the salads (cut wedge style into huge chunks, not a fan).

Pros: Very Agreeable Food, Hours and Location, Able to accommodate big groups and little kids

Cons: Bakery doesn’t sell loaves anymore :(, Salads could be cut into bite sized bits, I wish the cake slices had icing.

Yum!

Everything I’ve had from here has been delicious! We stop by every visit to Orlando from Australia. Was fun to try vegan versions of American foods that I’ve seen on TV and always wanted to try.

Great experience!

There are many options to choose from so we ordered a couple different plates to share. The coconut curry wrap was our favourite and the blackened tempeh was a close second. The hippie wrap was fresh and yummy. The pumpkin pasta was too oily for my taste. Friendly staff and the service was excellent!

Amazing

Ethos is one of my favorite restaurants in the area! It’s 100% vegan with amazing options. We got the lasagna and crab cakes with some cookies. The lasagna was spot on with flavor and texture! Same as the crab cakes. I liked how it wasn’t too fishy.

The Best

A completely vegan restaurant with an amazing menu. We were seated right away for lunch. The waitress was nice and attentive. I ordered lasagna, something I haven’t had in 10 years since going vegan. My partner had a delicious coconut curry wrap with a side of hummus. We both loved our choices. Wish Ethos would open in Ocala.

Pros: All Vegan, Great large menu , Beers and wines

Cons: None

An Orlando Staple

What can I say? Been coming to Ethos since they were in Ivanhoe Village. While they might have been more creative (and cheaper!) back then, they’re still the go-to recommendation when anyone is visiting town. Are there better vegan options in Orlando in 2023? Absolutely. Do I still go to Ethos regularly? You bet!

Pros: Large menu, Comfort food, Staff is always amazing

Cons: Not easy to be healthy , Reliance on meat substitutes, Could source better vegan cheese
