50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Encinitas

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“Love Broad st Dough. Many varieties of donuts all made to order.“

“I was just looking for a place to drink sour beer. That's all. You can imagine my utter joy when I discovered this place not only has FIVE sours on draft but also a menu that is more than 50% vegan. I tried all of the sours. The standout for me was the blueberry muffin, which tastes exactly as described. At the recommendation of the bartender, I got the crunch wrap, which was absolutely delicious. I also made a friend with the woman sitting next to me and got to try the pretzel with queso and mustard (also completely vegan), and that was phenomenal. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be a regular hangout spot.“

“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!“

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

“Friendly service, clean and really good food. Support the locals and have a local brew“

“Had ordered Salad and pizza’s all were fantastic . Server was awesome !!!! We love your pie’s Buona 😍😍😍😍“

“are you kidding me. This place is the best. great food and service. love it!“

“I am sad I only got to try one thing from this place. It was so difficult to decide what I wanted, but I ended up ordering their strawberry smooth with a drizzle of their homemade nutella around the cup. It was heavenly. 😍 Seriously though, this place makes their own everything, their own oat and almond milk, their own nut butters, their own granola, and even their own protein powder. I was seriously impressed. They have meals, desserts, and snacks too. I really wish I had a location close by.“

“GREAT GREAT FOOD. Thank you 😊“

“Yummy! Freshly squeezed orange juice…“

“My wife and I stopped for lunch. We had the chik’n and waffle sandwich (delicious but definitely sweet), the western burger with beefy patty (very very tasty), the chk’n tenders (excellent, I liked with honey mustard) and the horchata shake which was truly amazing, refreshing will get again. Staff was super friendly and helpful, even making my iced coffee to order.“

“Excellent pistachio gelato!“

“Last Monday was great,

I have to say the Outstanding Service from Ethan at Luna Grill was awesome!! I definitely have to take a moment to recognize Ethan at Luna Grill for his exceptional service and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel welcome with his warm and friendly demeanor. Ethan is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, but he also goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer has a fantastic dining experience.

His attention to detail, quick thinking, and ability to anticipate customers' needs truly set him apart.
It's clear that he takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the way he interacts with both guests and his colleagues. Whether it's offering great recommendations or ensuring that everything is perfect, Ethan delivers top-notch service with a smile. Luna Grill is lucky to have such a dedicated and talented employee. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for Ethan-he will make sure you have an amazing experience. Five stars all the way!“

“First time got a chance to try this place and the food was amazing. Great taste, great size, portions were awesome, and taste was very good. Definitely will be back for more and I highly recommend you to try this place. Great job guys.“

“We got the quesadilla and fish tacos. Both were fresh and delicious. The order at the counter service was quick and easy, our food was out in 10 minutes.
Loved the mango on the fish tacos and the fish was perfectly seasoned.
Also has large drink selection and majority of seating is outdoor.
Highly recommend. Great for casual and large group setting.“

“Good food, pet friendly if you are in the area stop by“

“This place blows me away every time! Best restaurant in the world to me! We are from London and visit San Diego often. We absolutely love eating here in their cute little garden. Incredible food!!“

“I love that they have smaller flavor choices. They have quality over quantity. My husband chose fall flavors. He had the pumpkin cheesecake, banana foster and mud pie. I am a chocolate person. I had the chocolate peanut butter and Nibby chocolate. The ice cream is so creamy and decadent. You receive a cookie with your ice cream. The shop is so cute and there is a step stool so your little one can look at the flavors. If you are in the area or stopping for lunch, please stop by this cute shop, it's worth it.“

“What a hidden gem!! We ended up ordering off the menu ( butter chicken, daal, naan and biryani) everything was authentic and delicious. Family run business. Randy the owner kept checking in to see if we were happy with everything. His brother Rajj was serving and very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great advice on choices. If you like to support local family businesses, this one is a must to visit! Good Luck guys and keep up the good work.“

“Delicious authentic Italian meals artistically served .“

“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“

“Yummy chicken sandwich and cinnamon roll!! Wish you were in Colorado as well!! 😍“

“Great vibes everyone is super friendly loved the service! 🍷😀“

“Food is great and best sunsets over the ocean“

“I love this place and the sweet people who work here! My favorite meal is the trifecta of a basil chicken wrap, naked salad, and the best carrot ginger soup ever! It’s not on the regular menu anymore, but can be requested as it’s still in their computer listing. The new back grass patio dining area beneath giant old pines is a hidden treasure that opened during CoVid.“

“the birria tacos are good I recomend them“

“simply delicious and fast service“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“Our party of seven was seated promptly in the back. Fun model cars surrounded our table. I had chorizo and eggs. The serving was huge and fresh off the griddle. Fresh salsa and tortillas rounded out my plate.
The pancakes were rich and fluffy.

Not chic, but great comfort food.“

“Took my two boys and they both pounded their 4 tacos. One liked shrimp tacos the most, and the other his carne asada tacos. Sauce was great. The place was clean. The service was very kind and explained the dishes well. Had sopes for the first time and they were delicious. The hardest thing about this establishment is picking what to eat, they offer so much.“

“Saturday September 7th was our first time here at nite. Absolutely amazing. Dining in makes you feel like you are in india. All the people here are amazing explain all the dishes, excellent service. Lots to choose from food and beer. Portions are perfect everything very fresh and yummy I recommend this place 100% I am going back this weekend?“

“Casual gem with amazing food, lots of options and reasonably priced!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options and diverse vegetables

Parking: As with any main location, peak times would be more challenging, we got there 5:30 and found a spot 2 blocks away“

“Delicious and great service“

“Amazing atmosphere! Fantastic food and service! A go to destination! You will not be disappointed 👏🏼“

“I have loved Wahoos since they opened one of the first ones in Huntington Beach in the nineties! it's always fresh and clean with a great vibe. It's the easiest and safest place for me to go during the pandemic. The food is very consistent across all the stores I've been too. I highly recommend it. it's a great tasty healthy alternative to fast food!“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Everyone there is so nice and helpful.“

“Great food, excellent selection of wine to choose from. They let you pick anything from the bottle shop and enjoy it over dinner, but they charge a corkage fee for their own wine. That's poor. The restaurant is old and hasn't been updated in 20 years probably. Staff was friendly and made for an enjoyable evening but won't necessarily need to go back with so many other great options out there.“

“Staff is amazing and the food more so. Excellente“

“Indian/Nepalese cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. I am South African and grew up eating eating variety of traditional curries and stews. I travel a lot for work and have had the fortune of trying some of the best Indian restaurants in the nation, including dozens of places in SoCal. Everest Himalayan Cuisine is by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to. This cozy casual restaurant opened in November originally for take-out. I am a big fan of dine-in, so I was excited to find out that they recently opened for dine-in. I came with my best friend (we're always looking for new favorite restaurants). We decided to get a couple things to share. Started off with the Lamb Momos. They were such a wonderful treat. For Entrees, we went with the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with Cilantro Garlic Naan. While eating our Momos, an adjacent table received their Tandoori Chicken and Lamb. It smelled and sounded so good, we decided that we would have to order more (we also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tandoori). Our food came, and when I dipped my Naan into the sauce, I nearly cried it was so good. It reminded me of a better version of my grandmas famous Tikka Masala. It's was then, that I knew this would become my new favorite place. It was so flavorful and luscious. All the meat was so tender. The Naan was supple, while pillowy and stretchy at the same time, (clearly proofed perfectly). Every dish we tried was the best iteration of the dish I've ever had. I usually order my food quite spicy (9-10), but if you like a flavorful warm heat, get a 5 to 7. We ordered another order of the Cilantro Garlic Naan to get every bit of the sauce. I know I'll be back soon. I really would like to try more of their dishes and their desserts. They also have a nice Lunch Special, I'd like to try. Thank you for sticking around, and reading to the end. I hope more people discover this new place; there's nothing like it, especially in San Diego.“

“philtered soul is my favorite, hot or iced!“

“This is by far the BEST location we have been to!! If I could give them 10 stars I would!! Trevor was phenomenal!!!! He had the kiddos and adults engaged the entire time and his cooking skills are incredible! The manager was so kind, the server was extremely friendly! They were attentive and on top of making sure our drinks were filled without even needing to ask. I highly recommend this location to anyone and everyone wanting a memorable, clean & delicious experience! Thank you Benihana Carlsbad!!! See you next time“
