We serve ION Elixir, an organic coffee blend from Yvette at KLEKOLO

We have been serving sexy plant-based food since 1987. Chef Ken Bergeron began and Renana Magee has been keeping things going since we were located in the second Main Street location downtown. This is our third spot in Middletown, Connecticut and we are happy to be across the street from our namesake. We are grateful for receiving so many accolades over the years — especially our most recent Best Vegan/Vegetarian in the State by Connecticut Magazine.

We are forever grateful for the creative genius of Ted Esselstyn and City Bench. All of their live edge creations are for sale. We must also credit them for introducing us to Matt Niland who is a welding magician and artist.

You don’t need to be vegan to love us or for us to love you, but we cannot accept reservations. We suggest coming early for dinner if you are concerned — 5:00 pm is usually much calmer than 6:30 pm.

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?’

This was the absolutely best vegan restaraunt we have visited. Great food, great portions. Presentation was phenomenal. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. I am so happy I made the drive up here to visit.

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.

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!
