50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Boulder Creek

“My family and I ate here while we were staying in the Brookdale area for a vacation, and the food here was absolutely amazing. All together we ordered the crab rangoons, veggie egg rolls, sticky red bean buns, Za Jiang beef, and the Singapore rice noodles. All of our dishes were piping hot and delicious, and the portions were very generous! They provide free water and hot tea, which was great after coming in from the cold. The staff are amazing, and Jenny checked on us during our meal and seems like such a wonderful person. I only wish we had discovered this gem sooner so we could come back before our vacation is over. If we're ever back in Santa Cruz county we'll definitely be eating here again!“

“My wife and I were reluctant to try this place because of some of the other reviews but after having breakfast here we can’t say enough good about it. It’s not the high class environment but if you want a really good, hardy, country breakfast that’ll fill you up this is the place.“

“I ate dinner with a buddy of mine last night he had never been there. He was thoroughly impressed with the food, the wine choices, and the service. The whole experience was fantastic and we had a very enjoyable time.  as always I would recommend this restaurant highly to anybody that wants a fantastic dining experience. “

“We enjoyed a delicious meal. The starters of Mexican Shaved Corn and Tempura Green Beans were delicious. We enjoyed a pomegranate/frisée salad that was elegant. The BBQ ribs, hamburger, and scallops were terrific as well. Our server Brianna did everything well and was fun to chat with. It was a lovely night.“

“Awesome sushi and fast service. To be honest, you are really missing out if you are in Scott's Valley for dinner and don't come here. Service: Fast, polite waiters have your food out in minutes and always check to make sure you are enjoying the food. Food: Undoubtedly the best sushi place I've been to. The popcorn lobster roll is great but the chicken katsu is incredible. Bento boxes come with tons of food: salad, fruit, rice, sauce, extra veggies, and choice of two main dishes (rolls, tempura, etc.) Sushi rolls are packed with ingredients and are super tasty. You will always leave feeling full. Ambiance: Red lights on shelf close to ceiling, creating a strip light like effect. Walls are filled with Japanese paintings. Seats are red and black, including booths. There is a sushi bar to sit at, and multiple TVs playing sports games. Price: A bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Ingredients are always super fresh and leave you super full. In reality, you won't find a sushi place much cheaper anyways. In all, amazing resturaunt!“

“Hector and Angie are the best. Their tapas are unique and delicious. Love the indurain skewers , shishito peppers and authentic jamon and Queso. Little known secret is their wagyu ribeye is the very best steak in the Bay Area. Perfectly flavoured and prepared. And the selection of Albariño , Rioja and Jerez sherry. Our favourite go to place in the south bay. Much better food than other top tier restaurants in Los Gatos and saratoga. With much better value. Our favorite.“

“Visited recently and service was exceptional, waitstaff was incredibly friendly, helpful, & professional (our main server was Emilio, but everyone was wondeful). Ambiance was excellent as well; due to the timing of our meal (dinner, starting around 6PM and lasting several hours, given the tasting menu) we were there when they opened the curtains, which was lovely. The food was great as well, as with most tasting menus, not everything was to my taste, but my dining companions were entranced with everything. They were also very generous with the wine pairings. Was my third visit and will certainly be back in the future!“

“What a find! Great service and food! The hostess, waiter and bus staff were all friendly and helpful without any hovering. Easy to talk to and they conversed well with us. That’s not so common nowadays.We had the gamberetti al’algio (shrimp) appetizer and it was amazing. Lots of garlic slices but it wasn’t hot garlic. Rich wine and butter sauce and well made shrimp. We were dipping our bread in the sauce so we could enjoy more of it. Then we had Godfather and Mafiosa with their handmade pasta upgrade. So very good. Pasta was cooked just right. The sauces are delicious. The hidden burrata in Godfather is a wonderful treat. The Chianti Classico was a great accompaniment with the pasta. We were well satisfied so skipped dessert. We may return tomorrow night for meat-based entrees.Parking: If you park on the street don’t park in the permit only areas.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps so should be fine for wheelchairs.“

“I had an iced mocha to drink. It tasted great! To eat, I had the biscuits and gravy with eggs. The gravy was excellent, and so were the biscuits. The eggs were just a little under seasoned, but were other wise great. Staff were very friendly. It did take about 5-10 minutes to be seated though. They should hire a little extra help.“

“Beautiful nested in the forest of Bonny Doon, Beauregard is a unique wine tasting experience. There’s not many places where you will be able to hear first hand about the historic vines and about the family wine making experience first hand from the owner himself. Great and unique wines and awesome vibes!“

“Solid spot for brunch in Los Gatos! They have both indoor and outdoor patio dining. The outdoor dining area has heat lamps, and they'll open up the awning when it gets too sunny out! I got the Crab Souffle Omelette, and I really enjoyed it! The omelette itself was huge! I was impressed with just how fluffy it was--way better than an ordinary omelette! The Crab Souffle omelette is filled with crab, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, and topped with hollandaise sauce. All of the souffle omelettes come with a bakery item and herb potatoes and grits. I love that you can get a specialty bakery item like their carrot walnut bread or raspberry coffee cake in addition to their selection of breads/English muffin/bagel. You can even add their cinnamon roll, but it will cost you an extra $5. I recommend getting their carrot walnut bread! It's tasty--a little savory and a little sweet--with a great combination of textures. I tried some of the raspberry coffee cake but did not like it as much. I would also recommend getting the herb potatoes instead of the grits. The herb potatoes were quite yummy! We were expecting the grits to be like cheesy grits or shrimp and grits (something with flavor) but these ended up just being plain grits. So unless that's what you're looking for, go with the potatoes! Service is pretty fast and efficient. Parking is street parking or park in one of the nearby public lots. There are a bunch of these in Downtown Los Gatos, so I've never had to walk too far!“

“Really did enjoy most of our dishes. The lamb shank was delicious. Meat just fell off tje bone. Special pork chop with polenta was also delicious. The gastrique was a bit too sweet but did not ruin the dish for us. Service was fast and efficient. They request your stay is 90 minutes, and we were out well before. It's not very relaxing as your dish is cleared the moment you finish, but would definitely go again for the food!“

“Staff is always friendly and the food is great! Thank you“

“Back again, as this is a regular spot for my family and I. Once again food didn't disappoint. I got my go-to roll which is the warriors roll. Coconut and pineapple sauce is such a great combo and would highly recommend. This time I did try a new menu item: the tofu salad. It was a fairly big salad for an appetizer, but I was a little disappointed in the dressing. Might have just been base we got takeout, but I personally think the dressing was a little bland. I would still highly recommend this restaurant as there are so many other delicious items on the menu to meet anyone's sushi cravings!“

“Love this place! Always consistent with amazing food! I have been ordering the amazing salmon dish for many years and it is literally one of the best dishes around town. Great service too. Thank you for helping us celebrate our 22nd anniversary!“

“Came here for happy hour and had a great experience. Food was delicious and portion sizes were big enough to share. Everything we ordered was delicious. Gumbo and beignets are a must if you visit.I would have given 5 stars if we received everything we ordered. I ordered coffee with the beignets but our waitress forgot.“

“Fun place …..also has a taco truck for food.“

“Absolutely best beef ribs in town falling off the bone , I highly recommend trying them and asking for a side of Mango Habanero sauce on the side , and don't forget to pair it with some English wings , amazing place and superb Staff , they make you feel like home , great upstairs bar as well and live music and events always going on, much love and keep up the amazing food and positive Vibes“

“I go here for the movie theater. It's really great and reasonably priced. We tend to go Tuesdays when the price is only $5 for movies. "seniors" age 55 and up can also go on Mondays and Wednesdays for only $5 per ticket.Staff is always friendly and theaters have always been clean.“

“The music hall is really cool. However, the dirty veggie tots were drowning in cilantro but didn't have cilantro listed on the menu, which was really frustrating for a cilantro-soap gene person. If you love cilantro you'd love them.“

“It makes me sad to hear Manresa will be no more, the depth of flavor in Kinch's seafood broths will haunt me forever. I can still taste them in my mind. Every single dish was the best thing I ever put in my mouth. My husband's favorite dish was the salad course, mine was the grilled mackerel, my son's was the crudo.“

“This is your classic breakfast and lunch Cafe. Family run, local favorite, and always busy!I had the breakfast enchiladas special, and it was very good! Egg and chorizo inside.Great staff to stay on top of things, and quick with the food. Always a favorite for me when I'm in town!“

“Not a bad spot. The Pad Khee Mao with beef was really good. The chicken satay was nice and there were a lot of veggies in the spicy rice. The yellow curry was ok but really watery which I'm not a fan of. Still, I would come back for the noodle dishes.“

“Our party of 5 plus a dog (on the patio) celebrated a big birthday and all went extremely well. We brought our own champagne and cake and the restaurant was very accommodating. Our server Franchesco was outstanding. He anticipated our needs without our asking and had good recommendations. Food was very good and we left full and happy with our experience.“

“After a bad f&c experience at the fisherman's wharf I needed redemption. Anchors delivered. Batter was just right. Fish tender and fresh. Home made tarter was perfect“

“Was trying to get some early drinks on a Friday afternoon in Los Gatos, most places weren't open yet, stumbled across Loma and decided to try it out. It's on a small side street and easy to miss, but look for the colorful chairs and maybe even some live music out front. Once you get inside, you order at the bar and take the a number to your table/seat. Good selection of craft beers and tasty. Good bar food (above average compared to most places). Will be back to try more beers!“

“Tasty chile rellenos with rice and beans. Very nice taco and enchilada. So cheesy! We were expecting salty or oily but we got neither so it was great. You can set up your thick tortilla chips with pico de gallo or a couple of other salsas. You order up front counter, pay and they bring your food to you.“

“My wife and I are long-time and very happy customers of Taba Taba in Los Gatos. The food is delicious, prices are good, and the service is first-rate. if you’re looking for great Chinese food in downtown Los Gatos, check out Taba Taba. You‘ll be glad you did!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“This place has the best food ever! Everything is so good here; if you ever don't know what to get, try the lunch specials, you'll get a little bit of everything The Orange chicken is hella bomb! They also have a house made chili, hella bomb too! The staff is really friendly, the restaurant is REALLY clean that you can eat off the table; I wouldn't recommend it but it's clean enough too“

“New favorite! Ate here w/ 4 people and every meal and appetizers were all AMAZING! Pulled pork w/ ginger BBQ sauce was soooo good! Sweet potato fritters app was to die for. Even the beer was great. Very friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere.“

“Absolutely the best venue I played in so far in California. I performed here on Friday Dec 22. The staff was very helpful, even gave me a few more black coffees than I originally needed early on in the night. I felt good playing for the people there, I think some of the crowd really got what I was doing and got to build a little community. This venue did the right thing by me and I hope to come back in the near future! Total class and I highly recommend Henfling's Tavern, Ben Lomond CA“

“Google reviews brought us to the Empire grille, and those reviews were spot on. This restaurant is clean and organized, even the bathroom. All of our food was very reasonably priced, served hot, and delicious. Our waitress was amazing!!!!! I'll be back.“

“I love Sushi San. My husband and I go here for dates and special occasions. I love the decor - live plants and fish tanks to watch when conversation ebbs. The sushi tastes quality- served over ice and jicama. I'm addicted to their nabeyaki udon in winter. And the owner June is just the sweetest. We're lucky to have this place in Felton!“

“This is such a hidden gem!All the food I've had there is delicious from the tacos to the crazy pineapple - it's SO good with the seafood sauteed with pineapple just like I had in Mexico.On Fridays they have a mariachi band come in and play and initially I was kind of anxious but it quickly became clear that the musicians were there because this was an opportunity to have fun! They made it clear that we didn't have to pay to get serenaded or play a song but they were so fun that we ended up staying long after we were done eating. Passion project or not, we still ended up leaving the mariachis a tip with the wait staff lol“

“We were celebrating our anniversary that evening and were surprised with a custom Prix fixe menu that included "Happy Anniversary Wendy & Tod' at the top. The service and food was impeccable with great ambiance. Would definitely go back! The only wrinkle was the reservation had stated the dress code as "business casual"; however, several people came in with jeans, shorts, t-shirts and ball caps. For such a nice steakhouse in Los Gatos, I would have expected them to adhere to their own dress code.“

“Love the honey walnut shrimp and the pork fried rice was very flavorful. I would also recommend the chow mein. The waiters were polite, I went on a date here so the ambience was decent enough to take someone out or even have a business meeting“

“Stopped by here on a drive to Santa Cruz. We got there just as the opened on a Saturday. I don't typically drink beer at noon on a Saturday but I couldn't pass up the chance to visit a brewery I've never been to. The bartender was very welcoming and friendly. The taproom was small but nice. I got a the Black Mayle stout. It was good. I didn't get a feel for the vibe since we were the only people there at opening. If ever in the area again, I'd like to visit again.“

“Ordered a large mushroom pizza w olives to go after having an IPA inside. The pie was not that bad but it’s not Pizza My Heart either. They have Stella and an IPA on tab which would bring me back for their daily pizza specials. It only makes sense to order the Special pie of the day.“

“Love this gem of a place I just discovered. Very good Agedashi Tofu. If you have seen my reviews before you will realize that’s one of the ways I judge quality. Second, the Snapper nigiri was incredible. Best I have ever had. Tender, flavorful perfect. They were out of Hirame so I will have to return. And finally the Blue Fin Toro was incredible. It was my last bite and I know I will be back for more of everything. Very local and superb no-frills ambiance, unassuming and priced well. Foodies converge!“

“This location is fantastic. Because:- the food is awesome!- and the service is amazing too!Loved making mini plates from the salad sampler, and dip sampler plates.Favorites: classic hummus, chunky eggplant, and the pita bread!!!Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian plant based lamb dishes too! Haven’t tried it. But just telling… the hummus is to die for…“

“My friend hosted her bridal shower here, and the service was impeccable. They decorated the room and provided a delicious motley of drinks and food. The waitresses would also be helpful and consistently check in throughout the event. I got the iced latte, lychee mimosa, stuffed mushrooms, margarita pizza, italian wedding soup, the tagliatelle with truffle cream sauce, and a nonalcoholic frosé. Everything (esp the stuffed mushrooms and tagliatelle) was fantastic.“

“We ordered the Garlic Bread, yummy herby and topped with cheese and marinara was yummy! We ordered a Large pizza with white sauce (Ricotta cheese) pepperoni and pineapple. The ricotta cheese was smooth and delicious and the pepperoni was the perfectly saviry to go with the sweet pineapple. The ranch, I'm guessing in house was yummy! The vibe of this place was chill, and the lighting really set the feel and mood. Staff was lovely and the food was great! Thanks for the food, I'll be back!Vegetarian options: Salads, garlic bread, pizza toppings YUMParking: Behind and In front. Out back is for pizza only after 4pm.“

“Wow what an absolutely incredible brunch. The Bloody Mary and Irish Coffee were both awesome. The Irish Benedict had real corned beef that was absolutely delicious and tender. Pancakes were awesome and the shrimp and grits were addicting. Friendly staff made this one of the most enjoyable meals in a long time. Will absolutely be back soon.“

“The Pad Thai is so delicious! They serve in a large portion which is satisfying. The atmosphere is unlike most Asian restaurants and is quiet, soft and easy. I instantly fell into this Thai fusion restaurant. They also have various options for vegetarian dishes.The interior design is elegant and beautiful. The service is really nice as well. I can see why this place is popular in the town“

“The food was wonderful! Taylor (I believe that was his name) was the best server and knew so much about the wine list. He said he created the wine list and his recommendations were right on point. If you are in Los Gatos-, don’t pass this one up!“

“We went for my birthday and had a fabulous time! We started at the bar, with a couple of cocktails and an appetizer, then went to the dining room for dinner! I had Swordfish with grilled vegetables and my wife had pasta with huge prawns. Delicious!Todd, the Manager was our server. He was fun, engaging and friendly! A great ambassador for Steamers!“

“The Golden Triangle was a yummy restaurant specializing in Thai and other Far Eastern cuisines and offers a vibrant dining experience. During our visit, we ordered 2 appetizers and 2 main dishes. of dishes. We savored the crisp papaya salad, succulent chicken skewers, creamy green avocado curry, and the fiery Tiwanese chicken, which featured their homemade hot sauce. While all the dishes were impressive, they were served simultaneously, making it slightly overwhelming to manage all at once.Although the service was somewhat slow, the staff were genuinely friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. Overall, The Golden Triangle provides a pleasant setting with excellent food, making it a commendable choice for those in search of authentic flavors from the Far East.Vegetarian options: A whole dedicated menu for vegetarians“

“The food is magnificent!! I am originally from Mexico and I've tasted hundred of taquerias and Mexican restaurants all over the Bay Area, and I can say without any doubt, Nina's Taqueria has the closest to authentic Mexican food taste I've had in a long time. I'll definitely be back here!!!“
