50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Desert Hot Springs

“I have been a repeat customer for many years now. Years ago, the management suffered and was holding back a lot of potential from this restaurant, but it eventually was revamped, and the menu/food took off to become quite an amazing reflection of what you expect in a high end sushi restaurant. I used to enjoy sitting at the bar alone to enjoy the experience of small talk with the sushi chefs while they would occasionally hand me unique one offs that were very authentic to a Japanese cuisine. It kept me coming back as each visit varried from the last. Although covid crippled life for most everyone, they managed to maintain quality and once again fulfill the customer's expectations with excellent service and high-quality selections of fish and many sushi options for even the most picky eaters, I would say. Arigatō!!“

“We eat here frequently. We love it.“

“The mole enchiladas were TO DIE FOR! I cook mole and this recipe has me stumped, the presentation is also 10/10 The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The chips and salsa were excellent as well and I had the Jamaica agua fresca and it’s was just sweet enough any sweeter or diluted would be too much!!! Definitely coming back!!!“

“Excellent food quality & service. Wide selection to choose from. The property itself is very inviting, calm & clean. This cafe is a blessing for this desert town. Great experience & food. Definitely coming back over & over again.“

“Excellent food. Lamb was tasty but cooked well, spicy and flavorful. Chicken the same with mild and very savory sauce. Naan bread was crunchy but not dry and still able to scoop sauce. Loved it!“

“The ambience was very relaxing!“

“My husband and I walked in around 8:30 pm. We were welcomed and seated immediately. The food was excellent! The environment was nice 😊 I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Great experience sitting outside. The waiter walked by every 2 minutes helping and serving other customers so I was able to easily flag him down when I needed something. He was kind and very attentive. I tipped him $20 for a $60 check. Was glad to do it. We'll definitely be back.“

“Sat outside around 9 tonight and had wonderful service. Food was excellent and the cocktails were delicious. Margarita flight was the perfect choice. 10/10 would recommend“

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Our first dining experience at Farm. It was spectacular in every way. The food and service were both exceptional. The filet was excellent quality and cooked as ordered. The halibut was also very tasty. Farm is also an excellent value with their reasonably priced pre fix menu. We will definitely be back on our next Palm Springs trip!“

“Great evening with friends for a cocktail, server was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic.“

“Our new go-to for Italian! Prompt seating with our reservation (5pm) and service. One of the better margaritas my wife has had and my Manhattan was solid. Warm, soft, sliced bread with an olive paste—ate more than I should! Split a generously portioned Caesar: very fresh, shaved parm, and lots of anchovies on the side made it filling. A very tasty, cheesy lasagna was a treat for my wife, and my Tuscan risotto could not have been better—hot, cooked tender, sliced Italian sausage, chicken, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. Enough to take home for lunch the next day! Mario was very attentive and personable, and fun to hear about his expertise in local architecture. We’ll be back!“

“Food is great as well as the prices. Margarita are good as well. I will definitely be coming back. I’ve been here four or five times now. The waiter didn’t once ask me once how my meal was. Nor did he offer dessert. The gentleman refilling my water, salsa, and chips was awesome though. Maybe I happen to miss it each time I’m but I really would like to hear some mariachi or other types of traditional Mexican music whether live or recorded. This is a Mexican restaurant after all. Again, I definitely plan on coming back.“

“Great pizza and great service“

“Best burgers in Palm Springs!“

“Found out about this restaurant cause it’s listed on the Michelin Guide.

We had a group of 6 on a Saturday morning around 9:30, it was packed! There was a 30 minute wait so we just went shopping while we waited to get a text that our table was ready. They don’t take reservations.

We got seated on the patio. There were a few flies which kind of got annoying as we’re sitting there talking, having to swat them away. I wish they had fly fans to deflect flies away from food. The food though, delicious!! The whole group enjoyed their food. Half of us got the sourdough french toast, the other half got the fall hash. I got the hash and it did not disappoint!

Armando provided amazing service! Overall, we enjoyed our time here.“

“My husband and went here last night as a date night for the end of our first trip to Palm Springs. I grew up in NJ and have been used to excellent Italian food, and this place did not disappoint! Our server, Jonathan Abel was extremely thorough, made us laugh throughout the dinner, and is a huge reason on why we will come by again, with our next trip to PS. Thank you for the wonderful experience.“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

“Our 2nd time at Spencer’s, and it certainly won’t be the last. Service is extraordinary, the food exceptional, and the ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend it. I write for a local paper in Missouri -where I despair of the quality displayed by so many restaurants. No wonder I was eager to get back to Spencer’s on our recent trip to Palm Desert.“

“We lived in Bangkok for three years and always long for Thai food when not making it ourselves. Fortunately we have a few Thai restaurants here in the desert. Out go-to is Peppers Thai. The flavor is consistently good and the service is excellent.“

“The sandwiches are way delicious the French fries are fresh and hot“

“Food is delicious and the presentation . The staff is great beautiful ambience .“

“Best place to eat!!!! Been going for twenty years my favorite restaurant.“

“Food was delicious service was great. Very nice meal.“

“I came here for lunch during the CASE Conference this year. The servers were very kind and welcoming. Ivan was an awesome server with great recommendations. The food was very high quality. The best lamb I have ever had. The dessert was amazing as well. Best Greek food ever. The Turkish tea was sent by the server and even that was amazing.“

“We knew that being sent to The Hey Day from TikTok was going to be good, but after checking out the mixed reviews, we weren't quite sure what to expect.
The restaurant is small, but the decor is vibrant and very Palm Springs. Plus, they offer parking in the back.
Now, for the highlight of this review. We tried the Smash Single, the Western Double, and an order of fries and onion rings. The burgers were packed with flavor and not as greasy as typical burgers. The onion rings were crispy and bursting with flavor. The fries were crispy and fresh—honestly, the perfect fries, with each one perfectly crispy and fluffy inside. The meat patties were excellent, with crispy edges but no burnt pieces. The bacon on the Western Burger was cooked to perfection.
This would definitely be a go-to place for us. Plus the staff was so so pleasant and felt very welcomed.“

“Hoja Blanca offers the most creative and delicious foods. I’ve tried almost every item of the menu and I’ve never been disappointed. The shishitos and oyster tacos are amazing and I always have to order them. You all need to go check them out!“

“It’s a small homemade ice cream shop located along the walking street, and there’s almost always a line of people waiting. They offer a wide variety of unique flavors — some you don’t usually see anywhere else. We tried the pumpkin pie flavor; it was super sweet, a bit too sweet for our taste!“

“Very organic like style Thai where you get what you expect with no frills. Excellent price for the quality. As a medical worker in the proximity in need of a hot lunch or dinner at high quality and a good price i pick this place as number one in the area. Fast and easy. SOO tasty. And i got two sides and a meal for below 30 bucks.“

“Great coffee place for humans and dogs!!!!! Service is awesome and the vibe is laid back!!!! Check it out!!!“
