50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Carlsbad

“Lovely Michelin star dining. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Thank you for making our 25th anniversary a memorable experience!“

“Great customer service!!!“

“Some of the best 🪴 BASED food I've had! Customer service is Amazing! They're no long wait for your food either! Highly recommend!“

“What a wonderful diner! We had 3 apps and they were all suoer tasty, do not skip the deviled eggs (best I have ever had). The bistro special meal was perfect, just right for one. The onion soup that came with it, was also the best ever, not your normal french onion soup, more like onion bisque to me. I will go back for sure“

“We really enjoyed our lunch/dinner! Excellent chicken pot pie. Our waitress was Diane and she is top notch! Thank you so much !“

“I love it“

“Happy Hour is such a good deal - pretty much everything is 50% off - apps, sushi, special rolls, entrees. Only sashimi, drinks and a small section of the rolls are not on sale.
the yellowtail nigiri I had was super fresh.
Crispy rice was excellent!
Rolls are huge! But not in a good way. I like traditional size that fits nicely in your mouth in one bite, but they have american size rolls, oh well.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Amazing quality and delicious products.“

“I love the food and the ambiance.“

“The food and service is always good, I was wondering what is their signature dish? And has the restaurant had a food critics review? I love you read it! See you soon Casa de Bandini!“

“Yes absolutely! staff is kind and friendly. Family owned which I love to support.“

“Wow! We are so grateful to have happened upon Don's Country Kitchen! our lunch was a home made perfect delight. Excellent menu, service, and food. Highly recommend Don's! ♥️😊“

“Had a great dinner, our server Greg was amazing! Will definitely be back“

“Awesome food! We were in town at Carlsbad for the weekend, and visited it twice. Everything we tried was huge portions and fabulous! Servers and staff were very friendly, and very knowledgeable. If you are in the area, stop in and enjoy!!“

“Matt delivered phenomenal service, as soon as we sat down he was very warm, had great recommendations for every course. He was very attentive for our entire time. I would recommend to ask for him to be your server ! I would give him 100 stars if I could!y favorite appetizer was the octopus !!!“

“Most in our party have been to the larger Vigiluccis in Carlsbad. We all unanimously prefer this smaller one. If you love teal Italian food, this is your place. No touristy fettuccine Alfredo. But real dishes like an expertly prepared oso bucco, and a Venetian pasta del mare. Our waiter Stephano has been there for over 20 years. At first he seemed a bit closed and tired. But our group was so bright & engaging that even Stephano couldn't resist sharing his family stories with us. Overall, the restaurant is perfectly adorable and everyone was really great with us.“

“Highly Recommended Miguel's Cocina Mexican Restaurants🥰“

“Just had the most fantastic lunch. Caesar salad was amazing, fish and chips were the best I’ve ever seen, I understand the pizza had a little too much red pepper sprinkled on, but all of it was just delicious. They’re not open for a Sunday brunch, but we wish they were.“

“Gluten free crust was amazing ! We are not celiac but sensitive and best crust we have tried. Gelato was great and made in house as well.“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“

“The community is very fortunate to have Anthony and his team to make this area of the campground a place for everyone to enjoy. The views, facilities and lets not forget the music and giving artists a venue to share thier talents. What a Great venue for locals and the surrounding communities. I would like to add, it is very difficult for Anthony and his team to keep this business going. I have notice a few people and groups are bringing in thier own food and drinks. This makes it very difficult for the Campstore to stay in business. All the things they do for the holidays and Jurassic Animals for the kids, this cost a lot. Can we just enjoy something special that they have built for all of us to enjoy. Let's support the staff, management and leadership with our patronage.“

“I came in on a busy Wednesday night. My server, Brendan, was incredible. Great personality, very charming, and the way his pants fit him blew my mind. Made me wish I was young again watching him walk around the restaurant. The food was delicious and watching him worked up my appetite. I had two amazing prime rib dinners back to back but I would not, could not, take my eyes off of Brendan’s tight pants. He told me he would see me next Wednesday night, I will be there!“

“Great place to watch games and drink some beers! Huge selection of beers, some of the best wings I’ve had and the burgers are great too! All the servers and bartenders make sure our drinks are full and we are taken care of!
Awesome place for the SuperBowl if you want to go out - they accommodated our party without a problem! Cool tablets on the tables to order beer without the need to hassle the servers“

“Just all around good food, and excellent service.“

“Restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food is priced right, presented nicely and delicious!“

“I asked the clients that I took here on a date night about the place. The report was top notch. Food was amazing the wait staff made them feel at home and was romantic.

They returned to the car smiling and with joy after the meal.
... I plan to bring my wife here at some point. :)“

“Nice environment and friendly staff. It could be that I’ve gotten used to large pours of lower quality wines but this is the smallest pour of Chardonnay I’ve ever had - for $18. And I do eat out a lot and go to wineries frequently. If price isn’t an issue definitely come here. Delicious Chardonnay.“

“One of my favorite breweries in all of SoCal! The beers are always on point and the tap room is a great spot to chill and taste what’s new (or what’s always good). I always stop by when I’m in San Diego and grab some cans to bring back up to LA.“

“I stopped at Mot’to Japanese Grill and WOW… this place seriously delivers 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I ordered the Chicken & California Roll and it was so worth it. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and covered in rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce, and the California roll was super fresh and tasted way better than expected. 👀 It also came with rice, miso soup, and a salad, so you’re getting a full, satisfying meal. 🤤🫶🏻

Everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well put together—not heavy, just super enjoyable. The portions were solid, the flavors were on point, and you can tell they actually care about the quality. 😊💕

Service was quick and smooth, and the staff was friendly, which made the whole experience even better. 🫶🏻

Definitely one of those spots I’ll 💯 keep coming back to when I'm here in Carlsbad - highly recommend 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀“

“I love tacos El Pueblo!!!! A San Diego classic with the famous $1.39 fish tacos (at the time of this writing) their service is fantastic. The staff is friendly. The food is great. The salsa is awesome! And the complimentary pickled carrots are a classic. I sincerely hope you will read this review and visit this esteemed establishment to give them your business as opposed to visiting a crappiestablishment such as Chipotle.“

“Jenny was awesome. Handled a bunch of other drink orders without ever letting my glass dry up! Totally on top of it even though she was busy. 5 stars for Jenny.
The food was okay, I remember it being a lot better. I haven't been here in years though so it might just resonate in my head as being really good. The atmosphere is great. I believe they have live music sometimes.
Maybe skip dinner but definitely go see Jenny for drinks!“

“Great food, staff and atmosphere.“

“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“Great drinks and authentic tacos.“

“Amazing customer service. The food is tasty and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. I’ve tried the crab rangoons, chicken and broccoli, orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, wonton soup. It all tasted great, fresh, and came in generous portion sizes.“

“I reached out about hosting an event for my wedding, and Joel quickly responded, letting me know he could reserve the patio for us. Once I provided the final headcount, he went above and beyond by closing the winery for our private event. We had an amazing time—the atmosphere was perfect and exactly what we were hoping for.

Joel was fantastic to work with and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. His team was also incredibly kind and helpful throughout the event. I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion. Thank you all for making it such a great experience!“

“Delicious and crispy! First time visiting, will definitely will be coming back. :)“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“We loved the great little touches here. Staff is very kind and friendly. The duck is amazing! Overall food is great, service is great, atmosphere is homey.“

“Had an absolutely marvelous lunch. I ordered the braised scalops off of the lunch menu. They were delightful. Great portion for lunch. Not too big. The atmosphere reminds me of the chinese places i used to go to when i was a kid. Ambient lighting and saxophone musac. Run by a cute, friendly family who really put love and care into every dish. We will be going back because i want to order everything off of the menu.“

“Welcoming establishment great atmosphere came here for a birthday. The service was very attentive and helpful. I would recommend for any occasion. The food was really good 👍 but I wasnt a big fan of the preciles and cheese the rest of the group enjoyed it though. Honey mustard was a nice sweet and spicy flavor 😋 and the salmon was delicious!“

“Was a great idea stopping to Islands Food was great and waitress so wonderful I really recommended Thank you“

“Pizza Port has unique, delicious pizza, salads, and beer!“

“Louie hooked us up with his amazing chimichuri sauce, with 2 free empanadas to show off how easily his sauce beats high dollar steak house chimichuri sauces, and it did. Mix it with his jalapeño aioli and it’s heaven!! Great service and atmosphere. Food was awesome.“
