ION Restaurant
Vegan Dining Est. 1987

We are grateful for receiving so many accolades over the years, including our most recent Best Vegan/Vegetarian in the State by Connecticut Magazine.

Special shout out to the creative genius of Ted Esselstyn and City Bench. All of their live edge creations are for sale here. We must also credit them for introducing us to Matt Niland, who has made us many bespoke pieces.

You don’t need to be vegan to love us or for us to love you, but we do not accept reservations. We suggest coming early for dinner if you are concerned — 5:00 is usually a safe bet.

Please remember to bring your own re-usable bag!

“ Everything on the menu is vegan and organic — and yes, that includes things that will make you blink twice and ask your server, ‘How do they do that?’”
— Hartford Courant

— Melissa Roscosky, YELP
“ION’s menu is full of adventurous concoctions. They’ve been doing it for some 30 years, so you can bet they have figured out how to keep people coming back.”
— Connecticut Magazine
“I’ve been vegan for 6 years, and I’ve never had vegan food at a restaurant that tasted this good and this authentic. Even the non vegans at the table loved everything! ”
