50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Cardiff

“Always great coffee and the empanadas are great 🔥🔥“

“Took over as my favorite pizza place in SD. Just exudes laid back fun and cool. Like 10 high school kids running around working hard and being friendly, and couldn't tell who could possibly be in charge, but it was totally working! And Hazy IPA was great.“

“The restaurant brought memories back from my travels in Italy. The staff was amazing and treated everyone like family. It wasn't easy to pick one entrée. I have to advise to end your meal with a delicious TIRAMISU... We will be returning....“

“Nine of us had lunch here on a busy Saturday-glad we had reservations! The waitress did a fabulous job taking care of us and all our many requests. The food was excellent as well-the only exception might be the funfetti pancakes, which were a little sweet. My one BIG complaint was the LOUD MUSIC, especially the THUMPING BASS. I asked several times if they could turn down the volume, but no luck. I want to preserve my hearing, and for that reason I will not dine here again.“

“Sambazon in Cardiff is awesome. They are quite frequently busy, but they are fast and worth waiting for. I have the PB Açaí bowl and it fills me up for the whole day. The people are super friendly and helpful. If you are in Encinitas be sure to go the extra few miles to Cardiff by the Sea.“

“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!!!“

“Hey I just want to say the Luna grill down in Carmel valley was amazing and I want to give a special thank you to Athena for helping me out with my order she was polite and made sure i got everything I needed I recommend anyone that loves Mediterranean food check out this location 2 thumbs up will be back“

“Don’t let the name deceive you: just because this is technically fast food, it doesn’t mean the quality is similar to that of McDonald’s or Burger King. The food here is amazing and is not only filling but also pretty creative. For example, I had a chicken and waffle sandwich (probably my favorite thing here) that consisted of very thick vegan chicken patty, bacon, and maple aioli (somehow even better than it sounds) all squeezed between two waffles serving as the buns. I also had an order of onion rings with the house sauce and they were particularly great, especially with the sauce. They had a patty melt on special as well, which had two patties in it instead of just one, as well as a heap of caramelized onions, vegan cheese, and delicious sauce between thick slices of Texas toast; it was incredible and definitely something I would gladly order again if it was still a special. For dessert, I couldn’t decide between the horchata shake and the cookie butter shake, so I just ended up ordering both. I had the horchata shake first and it was good, but the cookie butter shake was phenomenal, and the fact that it was my second shake within a few minutes did not deter me due to how delicious it was. This location has a very nice outdoor seating area, and although I ordered my food to go, it’s a great place to eat in as well. If I get a chance to go back, I’d love to try their breakfast items, which all look just as good as the rest of their menu.“

“It’s a beautiful restaurant in Carmel. It’s delicious. Serving sizes are huge and healthy. I loved all the healthy choices they had. I ended up trying the beat salad. It was amazing!“

“Delicious fresh and hot handmade donuts! They even have Gluten free!“

“My husband and I came here once and it’s now our favorite place to come eat! A woman Trudy who works there is an absolute super star! She is always going above and beyond to make the experience even better, the food is a plus ? don’t miss out on the grandmas Mac and cheese. It’s the best I’ve ever had!“

“The chicken kabob is amazing!“

“We attended the 20th annual Celebrate the Craft. It was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the event. The waitstaff at the bar was friendly and provided excellent service.“

“Great hat shop with lots of great hats come here if you want a custom made hat o ya you can grab some delicious gelato also while you wait great service parking not so good but a little walk doesn't hurt. Especially in your cool new hat“

“This coffee is the best! Hands down! Forget Starbucks! And support local!“

“Outstanding salads! Friendly staff!“

“Colby had some really good dinner suggestions. So personable and enjoyable conversations. Excellent service. The atmosphere and views were exquisite. The bartender's drinks were tasty. He was extremely busy and handling that bar incredibly. It was almost unbelievable the number of cocktails that were being made.“

“Spent several enjoyable hours at New English Brewery this afternoon. Actually, came here because of wanting to try out “The Craft Taco Truck.” They didn’t disappoint! The guys were friendly, the food was great! Visually appealing and delicious. Highly recommend you seek them out and enjoy an afternoon with them! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Happy hour is bomb. $1.50 oysters, $6 shrimp tempura,“

“Great place. Wonderful food, unique, spicy but not too spicy. Great staff.“

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“Luna Grill never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The grilled proteins are perfectly seasoned, and the sides—especially the rice, hummus, and salads—taste like they’re made with real care. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is consistently clean and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner, Luna Grill delivers amazing Mediterranean flavors every time. Highly recommend!“

“Still thinking about our dinner at Addison—yep, the Michelin 3-star tucked inside Fairmont San Diego. Total bucket list moment! The uni chawanmushi and caviar rice? Unreal. Vibe was cozy-luxe, service was flawless. Took 4 hours and I’d do it all over again. ✨🍽️💛“

“I love it“

“Nice Pho spot in San Marcos. Clean, comfortable restaurant in the strip center. Located at a main intersection, about 3 blocks off the freeway. Very nice mural and photos. Staff are knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. Food is very good. Fresh and flavorful. Thai ice tea is good. The wontons in the soup are great! Highly recommended for 1 to 20 group size. Great lunch spot. Super fast service.“

“Wow, what an unexpected gem! The speakeasy vibe is already cool (the decor is on pointe) but participating in the murder mystery game made it even better. 5 stars all around! Drinks were creative and tasty, food portions plentiful and delish, staff and customers alike were all awesome people. We will definitely be back! If you do the murder mystery, DRESS UP- totally adds to the fun.“

“Steak and ribs are off the hook (taste good)“

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

“The. Best. Smoothie. I have ever had! So fresh and delicious! Visiting from out of state and had to stop here a few times while we were in Carlsbad! Also really enjoyed the Acai bowl! Excellent customer service, friend staff, clean restaurant and most importantly delicious, fresh, fruity drinks! Can't wait to go back!“

“Great service, great atmosphere. Food disappointed a bit. I had Eggs Benedict which came on English muffins that were both burned on one side and hollandaise sauce that was surprisingly bland. Still, I go back and back, it's a fun place and there's lots of other choices on the menu to try.“

“The ice cream here is so good. Ordered vanilla, black cherry, coffee chocolate chip, black raspberry chunk, strawberry, and mango. We were not disappointed. My daughter is very particular about her mango ice cream, or rather sorbet, and this is a top two spot so far. Good mango is hard to come by and this is top tier. Customer service was great as well. Guys were patient with us not being familiar with the menu. No inside seating but plenty of benches outside to sit on. Serving sizes were big. Excellent ice cream. Definitely recommend. We've been two nights in a row if that is any indication of how good the ice cream is.“

“Great friendly service and food!“

“The Salt and Straw at One Paseo in Del Mar was a stop we made on a “girls weekend” in San Diego. We’d like to thank Shahin who greeted us with warmth, enthusiasm and proudly served us samples until we made our final choices. He appeared sincere and listened intently to our own ice cream stories (what better place to share favorite flavors than an ice cream shop!) Shahin gets our award for BEST SERVICE EVER!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“My girlfriend and I LOVE this place! Discovered it by accident two years ago when I moved to Carlsbad… I live an hour and a half north now but still a mandatory stop for us anytime we are in the area! Everyone working there is so friendly and you can’t beat the service!“

“Visiting my son before his deployment. The owner went out of his way to take care of us. I would highly recommend any military family to visit here. Food was very good too.“

“The cookies 🍪 are amazing!“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“We attended the 20th annual Celebrate the Craft. It was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the event. The waitstaff at the bar was friendly and provided excellent service.“

“Consistently delicious and friendly service.“

“It is a fun place to be! variety of foods available.“
