50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Claremont

“A Hidden Gem That Feels Like the French Quarter Itself! From the moment we stepped into The Quarter in Claremont, it was like being whisked straight to New Orleans. The atmosphere was electric — the scent of Creole spices in the air, the soft hum of conversation mingled with jazz playing in the background, and the decor that looked plucked right out of the French Quarter. I half-expected to walk outside and find a brass band on the corner! We started with the soft-shelled crab and grits, perfectly crisp and full of Southern comfort. The fried catfish topped with crawfish étouffée was rich, flavorful, and absolutely indulgent — pure Louisiana soul on a plate. The roasted catfish with lump crab was delicate yet decadent, each bite melting in your mouth. Even the bread and butter were unforgettable — the sweet Creole butter was so good we could’ve made a meal out of it alone. Our bourbon cocktails were spot-on — smooth, balanced, and crafted with care — and we finished with the bread pudding drizzled in warm bourbon sauce, which was heavenly. Every dish was layered with flavor and heart. A special shoutout to José, our server, who was not only attentive and friendly but truly made us feel like family. His recommendations were perfect! We live three and a half hours away, but honestly, I’d make the drive again just for a date night here. It’s that good. The Quarter doesn’t just serve food — it serves an experience.“

“This was my very first time dining at an Indian restaurant, and all I can say is—WOW! Everything about Finest Indian Cuisine truly lives up to its name. The food, atmosphere, and service were exceptional from start to finish.

A special shout-out to Kash, our amazing server and host. We had no idea what to order, but she took the time to ask about our favorite proteins, veggies, spice levels, and flavors. Based on that, she guided us perfectly—her recommendations were spot-on! We enjoyed the Veg Samosa, Lamb Chops, Chicken Ghee Roast, Garlic Naan, and Rice—each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.

Portions were generous, the wait time was surprisingly short even though the restaurant was busy, and Kash checked on us at just the right moments—never intrusive, always attentive. The atmosphere had a warm, upbeat vibe that made the whole experience even better.

I’ll definitely be back for more. Thank you for such an amazing introduction to Indian cuisine!“

“Thanks Guys for the food it is a fun time I will come back on next Friday to get the chicken n fries and mushroom pizza when I’ll see you guys soon.“

“Friendly owner and workers plus delicious pastries. What more could you ask for?“

“Every time I walk into Dr. Grubb’s, I’m reminded why it remains one of the Village’s most reliable casual dining spots. The restaurant strikes a balance between quick-service convenience and a warm, modern atmosphere, creating a space that feels both efficient and inviting. The wooden countertops, purple LED lighting, and clean, industrial seating give it a contemporary California-fresh identity that aligns perfectly with their customizable bowls and grilled plates. Even during busier hours, the layout makes the experience feel open and easy to navigate.“

“Thank you so much for the fresh delicious delivery...#supportlocalbusinessescovid-19“

“Their dumplings are so flavorful and their prices are so affordable! I always order the pork xiao long baos and also recommend the pan fried pork dumplings, any of the wonton dishes, and the cucumber salad! Out of their dessert buns I like their sesame buns the best, then the sweet custard, then the red bean. I don't order them as much because I get too full on savory dumplings, but really recommend getting them if you have room.

They usually don't have any music playing, but the foos comes out so fast that I don't mind the silence in the restaurant, which is only the case when no other patrons are seated.

Xiao Long Bao - so juicy, so flavorful, perfect amount of filling. I love these so much and they are definitely my favorite dish from here! 10/10

Pan Fried Pork Dumplings - very juicy for a pan fried dumpling, but somehow still so crispy! 9.5/10

Wonton Soup - I prefer their wonton soup over their spicy ones because it's much more flavorful with the broth! 9/10

Dan Dan Noodles - so flavorful, packed with meat, great sharing dish! I always order it if I'm eating with 3+ others 9/10

Cucumber Salad - Love how the cucumbers aren't too vinegar tasting as I don't enjoy pickle flavors much, but definitely add some soy sauce and chili oil to make the dish even tastier 8.5/10

Spicy Wontons - I wish there was more flavor added than just spicy for their spicy wontons, and their not as spicy as I would like 8/10“

“BEST sushi ever! So fresh and noticeably better/fresher than other sushi. Loved the blue fin Mmm👅 Chill atmosphere. Perfect place, fast service too with plenty of options. They can make it anyway you want it 👍“

“Empanadas great. Beef and cheese.. eat them when hot.

Had the chicken shwarma and kabobs. Hot and tasty. Garlic butter is a must. Get extra it's worth it.

Flavors complementary. Fresh taboulie. Will come again“

“Tiana was an amazing server! Food was delicious and drinks were amazing.“

“Place is nice…like everything in Cali…kinda expensive….food was good….only gripe is their curry powder is not mixed with any water…so I was spreading the powder on my plate to gt cooked …whn it was cooked…all the food was gritty tasting…ddnt realize it till I gt my 2nd place👀“

“Fantastic food. I had the black cod, it was light and fresh, I highly recommend. Great service by Kee and the coffee was excellent. This is a great place to meet clients for lunch or dinner because it is quiet and you can probably utilize the lounge areas outside. A great Claremont meeting place!“

“If I could give this place 10 stars out of five I would, I've been eating here for years and it's just as good every time. I always get the Lomo saltado with the potato things instead of fries the green sauce is out of this world. This is some last meal stuff I would recommend anybody come here for any occasion so good I'm so happy they reopened.“

“Classic 50s Americana and good“

“I love Pong great food great aubiance owner and staff are always friendly and attentive great date night place“

“Great food , and fair prices. The best Mediterranean food I had in the inland empire. it’s located in the new part of Claremont Village.“

“If you’re in Claremont, CA, and craving authentic Lebanese flavors, Al Amir Bakery is a must-visit. This family-owned gem specializes in manakeesh—Lebanese flatbreads baked to perfection. The za’atar and cheese manakeesh is a standout, featuring a harmonious blend of thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and creamy white cheese atop a chewy, blistered crust. The hummus is smooth and creamy, while the foul (fava bean stew) is zesty with lemon and garlic, served with freshly baked pita. With its warm hospitality and affordable prices, Al Amir Bakery offers a delightful taste of Lebanon right in Claremont“

“Enjoyed the cheese board and a few excellent wines in the tasting.“

“Delicious food. Their specialty salad is highly recommended. For the appetizer we really liked the ceviche.“

“Very homey Italian restaurant, with tasteful decor on the walls, ambient music, and dim (but not dark) lighting. Ordered calamari, which was not bad per say, but lacked any crunch- the sauces the accompanied it had little flavor, to the already, fairly bland, calamari.
Although I did not order the salad, I was told that the dressing was pretty good. The salmon bisque was also just okay- nothing really stood out about it.
The sourdough garlic bread is absolutely delicious (though a pain to cut into neatly!). Lasagne and gnocchi dishes were both equally flavorful. Not pictured was the tiramisu with the delicious mascarpone, which is enough to share amongst two.
Although not something that can be entirely controlled for, it can get a bit loud inside from the other patrons.“

“We Loved everything we tried - such Wonderful organic food, prepared to perfection! We also enjoyed the unique old world atmosphere, and the service was excellent ! Thank you John, for a night we will never forget, and food we will have a hard time ever matching anywhere else !“

“Whenever I visit family in California we always dine at this restaurant. The only thing I can say is it would be good have plates made of porcelain instead of plastic . It will make the food taste more authentic and delicious! I love Thai food and have been to Thailand a couple times.“

“ABSOLUTELY love BARDOT! Amazing food and great atmosphere!“

“Great customer service & food. Our family had a very nice time there celebrating our Daughter’s Birthday. 🥳 Can’t wait to go back. 🍻🎂🥂“

“Try the Chicken Quesadilla from the Appetizers menu. Half will fill you up, take the other half home!“

“You can always get a great beverage and meal at The back Abbey.“

“Very good. Excellent service“

“great place to have drinks and relax“

“I had the Chilaquiles with Longaniza, yummy they were so good the salsa tested authentic and homemade. My kids got the pancakes. The coffee was hot and fresh as well as the orange juice. The service was excellent they were fast and attentive.“

“Delicious. Great portions. Worth it! Would recommend to anyone who wants to try deconstructed sushi.“

“Some places aren’t just restaurants—they’re memory machines. For my dad, this Round Table was the taste of high school, sweat still on his jersey after a game, friends piling into booths, and the kind of pizza that made the world feel bigger than it was. Coming back here for his birthday wasn’t just dinner, it was a return ticket to those nights. This is a franchise, sure, but ownership matters—and this one gets it. The hospitality wasn’t some corporate script; it was human, generous, and real. They went out of their way to make the night feel special. My dad lit up. That alone was worth five stars. And yes, they had anchovies. The true test. Salty, sharp, unapologetic—the topping that separates the tourists from the lifers. Combine that with friendly, attentive service and you’ve got the kind of place where you don’t complain, you just eat, drink, and remember why simple things matter.“

“Chefs are amazing and the wine choices are amazing“

“Julia did an excellent job making our bowl. We go here often but never had the pleasure of being attended by someone thoughtful. She treated our bowl with care and mixed in our ingredients better than at any other poki place. Everything was evenly distributed.“

“This place is so different, hosting a truly fun and vibrant atmosphere. The food is excellent, and I love their bahn mi, shrimp and pork spring rolls, and vermicelli noodles. It is truly such delicious place that I DoorDash it sometimes! The picture is of a specific kind of vermicelli noodle that I’ve never had before but it was absolutely scrumptious!“

“WE HAVE NOT BEEN TO GUS'S IN YEARS BUT WITH THE FOOD AND THE SERVICE THAT WE HAD WE WILL BE RETURNING MANY TIMES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE MADE A RESERVATION AND WAS IMMEDIATELY ESCORTED TO OUR OUTSIDE TABE THAT WE REQUESTED WITH OUR RESERVATION. SERVICE WAS VERY PROMT AND PLEASANT. JUST A MEMORABLE EVENING“

“Great food but a very busy place and sometimes the wait can be tough, especially when you are hungry.“

“They have real glass coffee cups to use on premises.“

“I want to first preface this by stating that I gave the atmosphere 5 even though it's not a fancy restaurant.
Yesterday after an family Easter gathering I wanted pizza. l opted for the Gourmet Veggie Pizza. Yesterday's pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The pizza was so beautiful, the ingredients were fresh and it was baked to perfection. I can't rave enough about their Gourmet Veggie pizza. Whoever made my pizza yesterday, thank you thank you!“

“I've been going to Viva Madrid since about 2008 and I always get a variety of their tapas. Many of the same ones every time. I've introduced this restaurant to more then 20+ people who now take their friends and families. The food is delicious but lately I'm having to ask for extra sauce on the chicken empanada (which is my favorite) and the spicy potatoes. If you don't, half will be without sauce and will be dry. Also try their red Sangria. It's delicious.“

“Claremont Village Eatery is delish! I've only ever gotten the breakfast burritos, but will be sure to try other things in the future.
Today, we got the Claremont Loop Burrito (no onion) and the Rhino Burrito. Both were great, and big enough to save half for lunch. Service was simple but kind. Inside the restaurant isn't too crowded, plenty of room to move around, and nice air flow.

Also, huge shout out for their chairs. They seem really thoughtfully chosen. Although they look like they might be the standard uncomfortable metal stacking chairs so many restaurants have these days, they are a nice size, don't cut into your hips, and they slide in and out really nicely (no loud metal screech!) It seems like such a simple thing, but being able to sit comfortably while you eat your meal is so nice!

I've also catered a large order of their breakfast burritos for my work and they were a hit! Definitely a great option if you need a hearty breakfast before a big event.“

“I recently visited Star Wok in Claremont, CA, and ordered their three-item combo featuring orange chicken, beef with broccoli, and teriyaki chicken. The portions were generous, and every dish was fresh and bursting with flavor. Definitely a satisfying meal that hit the spot. I’ll surely be coming back for more!“

“I used to frequent the Claremont location, was pretty excited not to drive all the way To Claremont. First disappointment, this place doesn’t just sell the only meat, either a pita sandwich or a plate, which I need since I made my own sides. Second disappointment after order something I wanted since you don’t sell just the meat, my order was so over cooked and dry, the cooked seems to and extra sauce to make moist again- pretty disappointed. The service was great, just the quality of food was horrible.“

“food, drinks and staff are excellent!“

“I’ve been going to El Ranchero for over 20 years. The food is good and the portions are great. I almost always have leftovers to have lunch the next day.“

“A very cute crepe restaurant in Claremont with an interior that may resemble the streets of Paris. But of course, you go here for the food. And the food is great! The crepes are very flavorful and the fillings are great. A little on the pricier side, but great food regardless. Check them out!“

“I placed an order for pickup and accidentally placed it to the wrong location. I went to pick up at the Eastvale location and realized my mistake. I let the employees know and they were wonderful. They made my meal and called the other location to cancel my order. This type of kindness goes a long way I was having a rough day and this really helped brighten it a bit. Bravo! I appreciate you“

“Love the family style dining ❤️Great spot for celebrations“

“Bua Thai Cuisine is an absolute gem! We ordered the Thai spring rolls, apple salad, stuffed mushrooms, chicken phad Thai, and the combination phad see ew — and every single dish was bursting with authentic flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. The attention to detail in the seasoning and presentation really stood out — you can taste the care in every bite.

The service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and quick without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and family-oriented, making it the perfect place for a relaxing dinner or casual get-together.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that nails every aspect — food, service, and atmosphere — but Bua Thai Cuisine truly does. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Thai food in Claremont!“

“Me and my son went for dinner!! It was our 1st time, we absolutely loved it!!! My husband and I always walk by, but had never been. The next time, I'm taking him inside to eat, he would love it!!
I had the Spicy Miso Soup and my son had the vegetable Miso soup and we had the Kanage chicken, Japanese style fried chicken and the pot stickers. Everything was very good!! Can't wait to go back! Our server, He was great and very friendly.“

“This store does a great job and they’re always pretty quick about getting our orders ready for pickup! We’re here at least twice a month picking up pizzas for our son’s sports team and they’re always hit and just as ordered. Carside delivery is the BEST!“
