35 Best Vegan Restaurants near Carmel Valley

“First visit here after moving to the neighborhood. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, felt like I was on vacation! Some of the patrons were staying there and there were some just for the food like I was. I will be back to try other appetizers and main course/lunch or dinner.“

“My husband & I arrived at opening and were greeted and seated right away. Customer service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I both ordered Lunch Box specials and shared a J's Maki roll. Food was fresh and our server was attentive, checking in on us every little while to make sure everything was okay. Mika Sushi is definitely a gem in Carmel Valley Village and we'll definitely be back again.“

“I love the Bonilla family!! They are so amazing and it was a pleasure working for them. The food and dunks are amazing too!!“

“Please know that I am a cook and a food connoisseur. My friend and I dined at Corkscrew Cafe last evening. We were blown away! Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations! It was a perfect party of palatable joy! A friend of Christina's had recommended the Meyer's Lemon Prosciutto Pizza. Serious magic on the tongue!!! And the crust... I normally don't eat the crust of a pizza. I devoured every bit. My favorite pizza is a margarita pizza. We shared. It was every bit as delightful as the Meyer's lemon! I'm a calamari snob. HANDS DOWN the BEST calamari on the Monterey Peninsula! Tender, light, fresh Monterey Bay calamari. And they are brilliant enough to serve it with both tartar sauce and a delightful cocktail sauce. You MUST experience the PEAR SALAD! We delightfully sipped LaMarca Prosecco during our meal. The servers were friendly and caring. The pizza cook a genius! We asked if we could bring fresh gluten-free pizza dough and if they would use it to prepare a pizza for Christina's daughter next week. They are happy to accommodate! It definitely without any hesitation is worth the drive into beautiful Carmel Valley!!! I can't wait to go again and again. I have to try their pasta with Bolognese and their short rib...♥️♥️♥️“

“You gotta visit just for the decorations!! Cowboy theme extravaganza!!! Some kinda creepy, but so fun.

Burger was very good!! Cooked well and came out juicy. The blue cheese was good quality.

A friend had the fried chicken and said it was excellent. Another recommended the Patty Melt.

But it's really all about the decorations!! The ceiling and walls are covered in old boots, animal skins, animal heads, signs, saddles, horns, pictures, chairs, hats, etc. etc. etc.

We were told by two locals during our wine tastings that this is the bar all locals come to at night.

The service was excellent!! Really wish I remember the server's name, but she has as much character as the restaurant does!!! Loved chatting with her. She gave us some excellent wine tasting recommendations too!!“

“After a wine tasting across the street we grabbed a quick lunch here. The green salad was amazingly fresh and tasty. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty too. (I just wish it was on crusty ciabatta bread that I'm used to) It seemed as though the bread was like a soft sub sandwich bread. Still, happy to have a nice lunch place in Carmel Valley.“

“Food was great. The owner came out and greeted our birthday dinner group. Service was awesome. I recommend this place. We didn't get any wine but they have tons to choose from. Choose the outdoor seating you won't be disappointed.“

“I recommend getting your kids involved with the wonderful experience.“

“Beautiful restaurant absolutely wonderful service, wait time wasn't too bad and the food was soooo amazing and filling !! a must try if you're in the area“

“Being an old-ish Army Vet, I had to try the SOS, as it was the go to breakfast in the 80's Army. I was not disappointed with the flavor or the memories! Great, efficient servers, service and food. 12 stars outta 10 stars! (When the VA appointments send me this way again, I'll definitely be getting my breakfast here!)“

“I am from Seaside and I have to tell you this has to the best breakfast in Monterey County by far I will return“

“Great food! Great customer service!“

“The best kept secret in Monterey! First of all the FRESH hand-made corn tortillas! OMG! Best in town without question. Huevos rancheros and Chilaquiles were amazing! Authentic. You want spicy? They have the spicy. You prefer mild? Their tomatillo is super mild and DELICIOUS! Fast service with a smile. Plenty of parking. AND THE PRICES ARE SO LOW“

“This place has been here for decades and is now under new management I think. Much improved decor, food quality, brighter and cleaner, but prices are still worth it. Definitely give it another try if you haven't been here in awhile. I only wish they did delivery!“

“Take out best pizza 🍕 trust me 🇮🇹“

“My husband and I spent a few days in Carmel and came to this place twice because we enjoyed the iced lattes and croissant sandwiches so much. Tulip picking was a fun experience as well, but be sure to come early as the parking lot fills up quickly on the weekends especially with nice weather. It was a bummer the customer service was quite lacking, but it wouldn’t deter us from stopping by again!“

“This place makes 5 star food. The only reason I am holding back 1 star is that there is no AC, and the wait staff does not come by as frequently as I personally would prefer. The food here, though, is among the top 3 best sushi places in Monterey County for sure.“

“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“

“Wonderful restaurant. Great for single diners!!“

“We have been coming here since it opened and other locations as well. There is. No better Deli. Fresh quality, creative menu and friendly service. Catering is good as well! There is even an Erik and he visits locations and mingles with his employees. There is one guy that has been there for 8 years and had nothing but good things to say about the business and Erik! Awesome good job and an example you treat your employees good then everyone gets treated good. Highly highly recommend. Great vibe“

“Always good tasty food. Service fast with a smile and positive attitude. Clean and neat , A true 5 star restaurant“

“today an amazing couple paid for our tab. We are a family of 6 trust when I say our bill was not cheap. Thank you so much and may God bless. The service is always great, the food is always on point.“

“Tiny spot in Seaside. Awesome rice plates and soups, not to mention the boba drinks. Always consistent and tasty. Decent portions and vegetarian options available too. Yummy ?.

Parking: Sometimes parking can be a challenge but usually there's a spot close by.“

“Gorgeous!! I came to the ranch for a conference, and will definitely be coming back again. Could not ask for more lovely scenery, more activities (hiking! golf! archery!), or more considerate staff.“

“I recommend a hot pastrami with Swiss on the Dutch crunch roll. I like mine with extra mustard“

“The food is decent overall and the portion is pretty big. Loved the food the first time we visited so we went back but the second time wasn’t as good. Esp the katsu don was way too sweet. They said they use the tempura sauce for katsu don which I don’t think is the traditional way. Karaage and the sweet wasabi sauce that it comes with was good.“

“The food here was very good! My buddy and I were on a trip and it was so good that we ate here two days in a row. Everything tasted very fresh and the portions were big but not too much. The atmosphere is casual but very nice and clean. The staff were friendly albeit a bit forgetful. Our waiter forgot to bring us an extra plate both days… also, the price is a little expensive, but for Northern California it wasn’t egregious. I’d certainly recommend this restaurant and would be excited to come back again.“

“Enjoyed the company, food, and atmosphere 😊“

“This is an amazing little vietnamese gem of a restaurant. They have great food and ingredients are fresh everyday. The owner is wonderful as well. I highly recommend this place.“

“If you use the app to order, select pick up in store. I chose to use delivery ( through DoorDash and I’ve had several problems with them) and my order never showed up. The manager was extremely helpful and fixed the issue. Eat in-store or pick up. DoorDash is terrible.

Vegetarian options: Their veggie burger is so good!“

“Great Customer Service. And the food was Great“

“Good food & service. Great for banquets. Lots of parking.“

“Love broccoli cheese soup!“
