Reviews for Bloodroot in Bridgeport, CT
A wonderful restaurant with scrumptious vegan food and a beautiful view of the water. The patio is a great place to relax with... friends or family and a glass of wine. I recommend trying the cheese appetizer. The vegan cheeses are excellent! Another gem isthe Vietnamese summer rolls. Inside the restaurant you can find the owners' cookbooks for sale, as well as some interestingartwork. If you are lucky, the resident kitties will pay you a visit on the patio. Read more

The food was very good but after coming on here to leave a review I saw multiple talking about how transphobic they are. As a... trans person, I was disgusted and horrified to see all of these comments. I will never come back and give my money to thesepeople. Trans women are women and trans men are men. TERFS are not feminists. Read more
At once you?ll realize you are in a unique place; one that many of us hunger for in every meaning of the word. When most... restaurants disappear after 3 years this has endured 45+, and a part is by providing everyone who is receptive to it more thanbasic provisions. Read more
Place is off the beaten path so you might miss it, but don?t. This is Vegan food for non vegans? full of flavor and everything... we had was superb. Asparagus soup you would expect but the smoked salmon made from Carrots? Amazing! we had a pasta dish and acurry on coconut rice that was great. We are both serious carnivores and we loved it! Kind of feels like you are eating intheir home?. It was not convenient for us as we live rather far away but very glad we made the trip! Read more
What. An. Experience. When you walk into Bloodroot you are thrown in several different directions. All just as wonderful and... revolutionary as the women who own and run this establishment. When you pull into Bloodroot Restaurant you park in a dirt lotand are greeted by their outdoor set up that consist of chairs and tables. You walk into a room full of books, tables, a windowwhere you can see right into the kitchen & loads of history. I was first greeted by the wonderful owner and before informing meof how to order in was asked "Do you see your country on our list?". Bloodroot, right near the "pick up window" has a list ofall the countries customers are from. If by some chance you country isn't on their, they pencil you in until they update thelist officially. What a wonderful way to get to know & connect with a complete stranger. But How does Bloodroot Operate? Above& to the side of the "pick up window" on chalkboards are the different menu's for the day. You choose what you would like toorder and proceed to the "cashier" and you pay. (I say "cashier" because she also serves as a story teller & a helpful hand indeciding what to order. She actually pulled out a wonderful book full of recipes written by "Bloodroot" with photos so I couldsee exactly what was on the menu!) After paying you sit at your desired table and wait until your food is ready. You are calledor on a busier day you can check on your food yourself. The food comes out on plastic trays and you must grab your own prewrapped utensils. Then (the best part) you EAT. You just devour your food and contemplate on how you're going to make room forthe rest because WOW! What an EXPLOSION of flavors, textures and newness. All the plates were fantastic and filling. You reallydo leave full! OH! Did I mention this place is VEGAN?! I said it- DELICIOUSLY VEGAN. Other than providing wonderful food,Bloodroot has an extensive and diverse library of books. It is impossible not to take a look at the Read more
I?m thrilled I finally made it to this famous vegan restaurant. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Everyone was so warm and welcoming... we LOVED it. The vegan cheese plate and mushroom pate were both excellent! Read more
This glorious, independent vegetarian restaurant is an absolutely beautiful place to visit, eat, and enjoy the welcoming,... colorful, offbeat atmosphere. The food is delicious (the vegan lasagne and vegetarian meatloaf are both wonderful) and the staffare super friendly. The restaurant is self-service: you order at the counter, they call your name when your food's ready, andthen you take your food to wherever you want to eat. They have outdoor seating on the patio so you can eat safely outdoors, oryou can buy food to go. I'm so glad to see the independent restaurants flourishing in the midst of chain-restaurant expansion,especially since this restaurant is feminist-oriented and feels like a safe space. Read more
