So thankful to have found this place - Edit
While visiting Newport for a wedding...there we not very many options for vegan fare near hotel Viking where we were staying. This place had a diverse menu with some tasty options not to mention neat atmosphere. I got the beet salad without feta and the pad Thai with tofu.

Great vibes - Edit
Cool restaurant with a limited menu. Came here a while ago for a friends live music and after party in the upstairs event room. Food was good, although the menu rotates often. Tofu pad Thai is a permanent vegan option. Looking forward to trying the spring vegetable and tempeh curry next time!

Delicious tempeh dish - Edit
Newport RI is definitively more known for clam chowders, seafood and the same- old meat dishes... So it was a great surprise last winter when Salvation Café, one of the most popular restaurant in Newport, introduced a complex fare including...tempeh. And the good news is that it is out of this world! Bursting with flavor, creative and satisfying. As good as a dish you would have in a great 100% vegan restaurant! A must try! Last winter, their tempeh dish was a root vegetable curry with coconut sauce, cashew nuts, cilantro and tamarind. Amazing! Their spring version of the dish was fried tempeh with fresh veggies, cilantro and brown rice. Still delicious, although we all slightly preferred the more sophisticated winter version of it. They really know how to cook and accommodate tempeh, so it is not bitter. They are very accommodating with vegan customers. Several salads can be made without the cheese (when will they finally discover that there are fantastic vegan cheeses available!!!). And the other 'to go' selection is their famous pad thai, that can be served with tofu. No desserts (yet) unfortunately... Portions are huge! They have a nice outdoor tiki bar in the summer.
Read morePros: Great funky and vibrant ambiance, Fantastic tempeh dish, Pretty good value
Cons: Not enough vegan options, no desserts

Update on Salvation Cafe: they don't have the tempeh dish anymore. Just the Pad Thai with tofu. We don't bother going there as we prefer to go to Diego's a delicious Mexican restaurant that has daiya vegan cheese and tofu!

Don't bother if you're vegan - Edit
This place might be vegetarian-friendly but not so much for vegans. My partner and I came here for dinner and the vegetarian entree special they had that evening had dairy, which made the pad Thai with tofu off the regular menu the only option. The price tag ($16) was hefty for what it was, and the taste was rather flat. Even the salads were not vegan because all the dressings contained eggs.
Read moreThe decor was funky and all, and lacto-ovo vegetarians would probably enjoy the foods too, but as far as vegans are concerned I would not recommend this place.
Pros: decor
Cons: very limited vegan options, pricey
