Dirt Candy

I came here as a vegetarian with my meat eater boyfriend and we both had a wonderful time! First off the staff was so friendly and helpful. They wanted to help you understand the dishes and wines we were getting and everyone of them spent time with us rather than putting down a plate then rushing off. We got the wine pairing with our dinner and it was also well worth it! I loved how we got a story of the wine maker with each glass too. As for the food? Phenomenal! I love vegetables to begin with my boyfriend is much more picky. He is not a fan of carrots or celery but the dishes that has them here blew his mind they could make them taste so good. We came here as an anniversary treat but have decided we must come back every season to try the new menu. This place is a gem!

Dirt Candy is one of the best, or maybe even the best vegetarian / vegan place for me. They provide an amazing delicious tasting menu. They change their menu according to the season. I highly recommend to do also their wine pairing. Getting for each course a female created wine is amazing. The service is thoroughly great and so lovely. Get a seat at the chefs table. The cooks are happy to chat with you and answer your questions.

I went to this restaurant twice on my recent solo NYC trip and I had such a nice experience. I really appreciate that they accept reservations for one and they made me feel very welcome. Dirt Candy has a welcoming and visually stunning décor, is very clean and a has a very relaxing and fun atmosphere. The food was so creative and delicious! They have a way to put vegetables in everything and have it taste amazing. Even the dessert! Will definitely go again on my next trip to NYC. Thank you!

Great vegetarian meal. We had the fixed 5 course dinner with the wine pairing option. All of the wine pairings were very unique and complimented the food well. At some point I lost track and over-served myself, but not a bad problem to have. The food was fantastic and you could tell that a lot of thought went into each course.

A very memorable dining experience at NYC’s famous vegetable restaurant. We tried the Summer 22’ tasting menu and it was phenomenal. Pictured below in order of serving including two “gifts from the kitchen” (photos 2 & 4). So much creativity and flavour in every dish. Amazing service and ambiance. My favourite was the Corn Mousse.

Exquisite. Reasonably priced and tipping included. The corn mousse and tomato cake are unforgettable. Great for dates, parents or with vegetarian friends. Meat lovers won't leave disappointed with the flavors infused into some of the more savory dishes

Your palette will thank you when dining at Dirt Candy. It was our first time with our 8 year old as we all go tie tasting menu. My husband got the wine pairing which was very generous. The use of vegetables and the preparation with each dish was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and genuine happy to share the dining experience.

This was my first ever fine dining experience. Went here for a celebration with my partner and the staff were all extremely friendly and personable. When I first arrived I had an awful headache and asked the FOH staff if anyone had any painkillers, and the shift leader / manager kindly pointed me towards the drug store around the corner. All of the food was obviously phenomenal and expertly crafted. The restaurant accommodated us for our vegan diets and the food was in no way less flavorful. Sat at the viewing bar and got to watch the kitchen team make all of that season’s dishes. Was overall an extremely pleasant experience and I can’t wait to come back and try their new menu when I’m in the city again. Edit: Forgot to mention, the PORTION SIZES here are phenomenal! Obviously the courses are on the smaller side, but over the duration of the meal you end up being absolutely stuffed. I couldn’t even finish the Eggplant.
