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!!!“

“Came here w my wife and cousin on a Sunday. Didn't really know what to expect as we live in Spain and are just visiting.

Brance was the gentleman that helped us. Later learned he is the manager. Incredibly friendly, light-hearted, and thoughtful about his choices for our tasting. He was fun, informed, and we really enjoyed his company.

We loved several of the wines and walked out w three different bottles.

Highly recommend this place for a casual friendly visit, paired with superb wine. I can't vouch for your experience if Brance is not helping you, but youre likely ok.“

“可以吃到上海的生煎包，很Nice.味道很正宗.非常值得推薦“

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

“I love sweetgreen! I always eat crispy rice bowl, I’m obsessed. Regularly every Monday actually. I have to tell I don’t like the fact that some workers are more generous and some of them not. I feel full sometimes and I’m like not full at all sometimes. For 17$ of chicken bowl that should be fair amount of chicken. Some of them just put less protein then other and hopefully they can be more careful about that!“

“We love the food and variety at Nick's on State! The restaurant was very busy and they were short staffed but our server did an awesome job and the whole restaurant seemed to pitch in to make sure every table was getting good service. We can't wait to go back!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“I love it“

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

“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!!“

“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“A lovely restaurant in Carlsbad, just a short walk from the beach, with plenty of parking nearby. If you’re craving authentic Nepalese flavors, this is a fantastic spot to try.

I ordered the goat curry, which was absolutely finger-licking delicious, paired perfectly with their garlic naan and a Himalayan beer. We also enjoyed the yellow daal, aloo parantha, and their warm, comforting chai.

The restaurant has a cozy ambiance, making it a great place to relax and enjoy dinner. Clean restrooms and convenient parking around the village fair area make the experience even better. Overall, a hidden gem worth visiting when in Carlsbad.“

“Julianne C was a great server when me & my grandbaby went into eat today for early dinner! She was super attentive & always a smile on her face!“

“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!“

“My brother, husband, and I have been coming here for years. This is our local spot for sushi, and we will be lifelong customers for sure! We love their happy hour specials (from 3:30-5:30). When we can't decide what to eat, we get the lunch bento box combo and it hits the spot every time! I think I've tried every non-spicy roll on their menu. If you're down to get something that tastes as fantastic as it looks, go for the Cucumber Special Roll. It won't disappoint!“

“Good food for the price!!“

“This place is wonderful! Will be back!! The food was great and the service was wonderful! My husband and I noticed that we didn't feel gross after eating out. We take our health seriously and eat super clean and mostly at home. When we go out we usually don't feel our best due to all the seed oils. This place felt like eating at home, the best quality we could get!“

“Me and my family visited this place after a day in the LEGOLAND on a Saturday.
It was not crowded at all.
The services are very polite and attentive.
We ordered 2 scallops for appetizers, a soup, and deer steak. My daughter loved the scallop a lot.

Mint ice cream with chocolate source for dessert. It was not too sweet. We liked it.“

“Great pizza. On time delivery“

“Bushfire never disappoints! Every dish is packed with unbelievable flavor, fresh ingredients, and that homemade quality you can taste in every bite. The portions are generous, the food comes out hot and perfectly cooked, and the menu has something amazing for everyone.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience feels warm and welcoming. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the consistency is incredible.

Honestly—this place serves some of the best food ever. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

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

“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! ♥️😊“

“One of my favorites! The breads are the BEST!“

“Loved this restaurant! The service from all the waitstaff was superior! The food was delicious. We ordered the artichoke hearts, lasagna, and the Carbonaro. Each bite was fabulous. Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant. Was visiting Carlsbad area, looked at Open Table and decided on Vigilucci's. It was the perfect choice. Need to find another reason to travel to Carlsbad to eat here again.“

“Highly Recommended Miguel's Cocina Mexican Restaurants🥰“

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

“Fantastic Brews and BBQ – A Must-Visit in Carlsbad

Burgeon Brewery has set the bar high for craft beer in Carlsbad. We stopped by on a recommendation and were blown away by their IPA selection. The DDH Juice Press was so good we brought cans home! Other standouts in our flight included Turtle Power, Treevana, and Cloud Chaser—all bursting with flavor.

The brewery’s relaxed atmosphere paired with BBQ from the Thumbs Up Food Truck made our visit memorable. The brisket with spicy sauce was smoky perfection and matched the beers beautifully. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a true gem.“

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

“Received a flyer at my home that’s what got me initiated to check this place out and I’m very happy that I did. They have amazing lunch. Special food taste amazing quantity and quality is great. I asked if I could eat my lunch there. The person on the counter said yes, then they brought out water for me which they didn’t have to, which was a great gesture and customer service that alone has me sold to doing business with these people. I also tried Boba smoothie while I was there, which was very refreshing going to be my go to on my day off for a quick lunch in the neighborhood.“

“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 both ended up finding and choosing the same thing... Stuffed avocado. Super A1C friendly and absolutely delicious. My favorite meal of the whole trip. I added a side of seasonal vegetables that was massively overpriced but fresh crunchy and not overcooked.“

“In town Camping at South Carlsbad State Beach and drove to check this place out. I had read they have really good fi as h tacos at s great price ( 11/7/24 $1.30). They definitely are good & filling ! I left happy & full. My wife got a Carne Asada Burrito that she really liked. Nice friendly prompt service and a Salsa Bar too ! 👍 it’s a smallish walk up and order type restaurant in a strip mall but that doesn’t distract from the good food at all with indoor & outdoor seating. We were there on a Thursday evening and the place was busy with lots of take out orders from the locals. We’ll definitely be back when in town“

“Service is always great!! But our server(sadly, I forgot her name) tonight was wonderful. Helpful, kind, and extremely patient with our 7 year old grandson talking her ear off, haha. I didn't like my kale salad and she was very quick to offer me a new salad.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lauren is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond every single time, making sure everyone feels welcome and taken care of. Her customer service is unmatched—she’s consistent, friendly, and always has a smile on her face. Whether it’s remembering details from your last visit or just creating a fun, comfortable atmosphere, she truly stands out behind the bar. Lauren is the kind of person who turns a good day into a great experience!!!“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“After a long rainy day of parenting at Legoland we found ourselves at the brewery. I'm so glad we had Luna as our waitress because she provided some of the best service I have ever had at any other restaurant. As an out of towner we will be back for some good food, good beer, and hopefully some of the best service from Luna.“

“Such a wonderful evening at Delusso! Highly recommend this family owned Italian restaurant! Delicious, flavorful cuisine served by such kind hearted people 🩷 Awesome service! Love the atmosphere and the outside patio w a beautiful fire! Will definitely be going back!“

“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.“

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

“I've been following them since before they became Mot'to. The freshness in flavors, everything perfectly cooked, char grilled proteins and veggie skewers 🫠🫠🫠 I used to eat here every day when the original place was in San Marcos but I do not mind driving down a little more for my fix. Great job ! See y'all soon!
Bf loves the sushi Rolls, generous sizes
I love their spicy pork loin bowl, their shrimp and spicy chicken entree plate with the most delicious salad sides 👌👌👌👌 definitely a family fave.“

“Came here for a Latin night with friends loved the music and the food came out quickly. The music was way too loud but it was still fun and we stood towards the back of the place.

Never been here before this, it would be nice to try coming here on a normal day to hangout with friends and have a few drinks with food.“

“Ordered the Alaskan Roll for pick up. Excellent online ordering system with easy payment (and flexible options). I was concerned that the salmon would be smoked (I’m not a fan of the smoked variety), so I made a note about it. They prepared my order perfectly and included a note, “Not smoked… enjoy!” They even included the extra ginger I requested. Easy pick up and the sushi roll was excellent and very tasty! When I went inside to pick up my order, it was packed and the energy in the room was very happy and warm. Highly recommend this place!“

“Great drinks and authentic tacos.“
