50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Encino

“This became my go-to place to take my boys (2,5) for after school guilt free treats! I love too that I can pick up some healthy snacks/drinks for myself too. I love the new salad line as well. I got the VIP and it's been so worth it!! Service is also great especially from Amanda I've become friendly with since we have kiddos the same age :)“

“This place is divine. It is true authentic French and you feel like you've been transported to Paris when you go. The food is so finely prepared with quality ingredients and each dish is so unique and delicious. It's my new favorite!“

“So happy to find this Italian vegan gem!! Gorgeous ambience/decor - really gives a feeling of classy minimalist spaciousness! Delicious GF options and best of all the menu is completely vegan!! And I can’t believe they even had TWO GF desserts! ? Our beautiful waitress was amazing, and knew the menu incredibly well (that’s so important to me!) and I wish we’d gotten her name! (She had an extensive gorgeous tattoo along one arm and bilateral ear spaces (? sorry that’s the best description I can give!?)“

“After visiting Hijo de su Madre several times for their award winning and phenomenal Yucetecan vegan greatness I was quite excited when I saw on their IG they were adding a vegan burger menu. It just launched a few days ago, but is already my favorite burger (got the Phat Hass Burger) in LA and I have had them all. Even more profoundly, they have the best loaded frots I’ve ever had by a landslide! Run don’t walk to try the new menu (will be on the delivery apps soon!) and then keep coming back because everything on the menu is perfection. 5 stars!!!“

“This 100% vegan place is delicious, has friendly service and a nice casual atmosphere, and-bonus-easy parking. The menu is great but I also love its accessibility. We had the Backyard BBQ Tofu bowl and the Fiesta Carnitas bowl. Can't wait to go back and try more.“

“What a great restaurant. The food was delicious from the appetizers, main dishes, deserts and drinks. We were a party of 13 plus 3 under 3 for my wife's birthday. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Fred, met us and made sure we were well cared for, the same care he gave each table. The staff never rushed us and made sure everyone's needs were met including getting the kids orders out quickly while the rest of us celebrated. This is a rare find in today's restaurant world and our whole family looks forward to visiting and dining there soon. Thanks to Fred and his wonderful staff.Kid-friendliness: Our kids ranged from 3 months to 12 years. Except for the 3 month old, the 5 other kids were served quickly so they weren't waiting and melting down when the parents got their dinners. A real plus!“

“let me start by saying this is the BEST vegan Ethiopian food i've ever had. i have frequented a lot of Ethiopian restaurants and the veggie platter combos just don't compare to Berbere. the atmosphere is so calming and refreshing and the ambiance is amazing. the staff were quick and efficient as well as attentive without being annoying. the food was served fresh AND hot and the flavors will excite a party in your tummy!! i went here with my mom and we shared everything. to start i ordered the et tacos and let me tell you the reviews for the tacos were right on the money. i never thought id like a taco that wasn't traditional but these made me rethink tacos as a whole. the flavors were so powerful and delicious. honestly it's just best if you're reading this to just try them. no amount of words can describe the flavors. for the main dish, we ordered the eat the rainbow with red lentils, yellow garbanzo beans, purple cabbage and potatoes, and kale. although i loved everything the KALE was the star of the show. it really surprised me how freaking delicious it was. i mean it was tangy but also seasoned just right. cooked to perfection if i do say so myself. to drink we both ordered the blackberry (could've been blueberry not sure?) mint lemonade and it was refreshing. i didn't feel guilty drinking it at all. for dessert i ordered the sublime confection and it was superb!! it's an interesting dessert to describe but it had banana and chocolate and ice cream and that was enough for me to order. the banana was not overwhelming either. i ended off dinner with a hot cacao and i burned my tongue so badly but it was so good i didn't even mind it. the cacao was so rich and thick. it was a nice treat to end a wonderful dinner. all in all our experience here was everything and more. i cannot wait to go back soon because it's right near my job two blocks away. side note: it is on the pricier side but i promise you won't feel robbed or cheated the portions AND the flavors are worth every damn penny. berbere is a 10000/10.“

“Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream! Let me tell you it definitely hit the spot, one of the best ice creams I've tried I can see why it's one of their top flavors. I got the single scoop and it's a good amount of serving but I should have gotten a double scoop for sure! If you love chocolate ice cream and Oreos, then this is the perfect flavor for you. Although, there is a hint of coconut in the aftertaste in case you're not too huge on coconut. But the actual flavor overpowers it. We went late at night but the service was still good! You have to be careful not to miss the window it's right next to a small coffee shop. There's a few chairs around to sit after or you can walk around and see the other shops around. Very small space but great ice cream! I will definitely need to go back and try other flavors!“

“This is my favorite vegan Mexican spot. They have the best food and it’s fairly affordable considering it’s vegan. I always get the Al Pastor burrito, cause it’s packed with flavor. They have other amazing items, but I tend to stick with my go to option that I listed. Overall, I am never disappointed when I go here, cause for the price the burritos are huge.“

“Great vegan restaurant in Melrose. The food has plenty of flavor and tastes fresh. Prices during happy hour are very affordable, and it’s a great for big groups to share bites and drinks. Atmosphere is nice, especially outdoors on the patio. The highlight of the evening for me was the olive oil brownie — a must try!“

“5/5 Written from a former bakery owner. My family owned a bakery in Detroit for 40+ years and sold it during Covid in 2021. I know baking and so does Toluca Bakery. Excellent customer service. Family owned shop with the mom and son working when my friend and I went in. So much variety, and the price point is low for all you’re getting.This is a bakery making old school, classic recipes. They veganized so many items that you can’t find in most places. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious, concha’s super tasty, Tres Leches was chef’s kiss, turnover amazing, danish great, cupcakes yum, eclairs fantastic and empanadas scrumptious. Highly recommend. Plus for folks who like supporting small business, this is exactly that. It’s a win-win-win-win. Taste-options-price-family owned & operated. Get there!“

“It’s out go-to spot when in LA, as my wife is allergic to dairy! She said she couldn’t remember when was the last time she tried something this good! And when we can’t make it… we have it delivered! (Some of the pastries are even better than next door… as I’ve been trying both ☺️).Vegetarian options: Menu is all veganDietary restrictions: Dairy/egg allergies“

“Delicious food for any vegan or non-vegan in your party. We ordered a full meal family style and everyone enjoyed every selection. I'm not sure how they make their vegan SPAM better than the original, but it is. Everything also tastes super fresh and well seasoned. Enjoy!“

“I know this pizzeria for about 6 years. They have the best pizza in Winnetka, if I don’t exaggerate they have the best Persian pizza in Los Angeles. Every time I have a party, it doesn’t matter birthday party or just having my friends over for a football or basketball game, everyone ask me to order some cheese or pepperoni pizza from Thyme. We all recommend this place. Next time instead of ordering pizza from Domino’s or Papa Jons, try Thyme Pizzeria. You won’t regret. Also they have this heart shaped pizza which is good for special occasions like Valentine’s Day or anniversary.Vegetarian options: I’m not vegetarian. But I believe that if this place offers a fully vegan menu, vegetarians can find lots of vegetarian options. I’m not sure if they allow substitutions on their vegan menu it. But it doesn’t hurt to ask. Definitely, they have tons of vegetarian food.Dietary restrictions: They have another menu a full vegan menu with bunch of vegan specialty pizzas, vegan pastas, vegan appetizers, and vegan desserts.Also they offer gluten-free and cauliflower gluten-free pizzas. I’ve never tried those options.Parking: There are lots of free parking spaces.“

“Food was good, even though we were not aware it was plant based until we started eating. We dont frequent plant based or vegan restaurants, so i dont know, but seemed very pricy for me. Family of three, burgers, fries and drinks was around $75. It was a nice experience even though we didnt realize it was a 100% plant based restaurant. Check that off the bucket list ?“

“OMG, everything there - just perfect! There wasn't a single thing here that I didn't like. From the pizza, to two different pasta dishes, to all of the sushi, slider, and bang bang broccoli - it's mouthwatering! Loved the dragon roll, crispy rice, and basically anything with unagi is absolutely fantastic. Wasn't super thrilled with the orange wine (I think that's what it was?) but the house white was good! This place is a total vibe, for a sexy little vegan dinner date night! Service is incredible, everyone is nice and attentive, and quick with delivery and clearing out plates. Music selection was great. Overall, loved loved loved it! Recommend to everyone and a place I'll definitely be coming back to!“

“Grain Café Van Nuys is creative LA California cuisine/Mexican/Central American food. They will work with you to figure out particular dietary requirements/restrictions. This branch is in a space that used to be a single family dwelling, although hasn't been used that way for decades. So you still have a homey environment to eat in. It just adds to the warm experience. Recommended highly!“

“A Veggie Haven with Stellar ServiceVeggietize meI recently had the pleasure of visiting a charming veggie place for the first time, and I must say, it was quite an experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that set the tone for an enjoyable meal.Let's start with the food itself. As a vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for places that offer creative and delicious plant-based options, and this place exceeded my expectations. The burger I ordered was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and made from the freshest, highest quality ingredients. Each bite was a delightful combination of textures and tastes that left me craving for more. The chefs truly know how to transform simple vegetables into a mouthwatering delight.However, what truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. The manager, whom I assume was the boss, was as cool as they come. Their friendly demeanor and genuine passion for the food they serve were evident in every interaction. They took the time to explain the menu, making recommendations based on my preferences, and even shared some insights into the restaurant's philosophy. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it made the dining experience even more enjoyable.The staff as a whole was attentive, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit. Despite the place being busy, they managed to provide prompt service without compromising on the quality of their interactions. I appreciated their attentiveness to detail, as they regularly checked in to ensure everything was to my satisfaction.In conclusion, my first visit to this veggie place left a lasting impression. The food was exceptional, showcasing the creativity and expertise of the chefs Junior, The standout feature, however, was the outstanding service I received from the manager and the entire staff. Their warm and friendly approach made me feel valued as a customer and added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience.I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a veggie haven with impeccable service. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply looking to explore plant-based options, this establishment is sure to satisfy your taste buds while leaving you with a smile.Thank you so much for great customer service again and delicious food God bless these business and the owner and people who work there..“

“Had the fundido and it was amazing. Loved the broccoli on top and the blue corn chips were perfectly salted. Taquitos were delicious. The chickpeas were so creamy and the flavor was spectacular Banana cream pie was so good. Crunchy and smooth at the same time.“

“Been coming here for years since I was in college. Love the food and the people behind the counter; they’re always so welcoming and cheerful. I’ve only had item from the vegan menu, because I think they’re much better off the bag. I recommend the yellow curry - with soy chicken - if you don’t know what to eat here.“

“Came in this Saturday morning and got treated with some amazing customer service from the staff. We were recommended by our barista to try their home Laurel latte. 10/10! It was great. Slightly strong, but very good. The places ambiance was aesthetically pleasing and room to even study or for some banter with friends. Definitely coming back!“

“This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants. It's actually a Thai restaurant and it's so amazing. Start with the soup. It's so delicious and authentically thai. I've never had a bad meal here and it's definitely one of my staples for Los Angeles. Yes, it is completely vegan!Vegetarian options: Menu is all vegan“

“This spot has the best hummus in the Los Angeles area.The menu options, the aromas, the flavors will teleport and transcend you to an Israeli hummus experience like no other.Every bite was delicious and indeed yummy.There are several vegan options here that would make anyone want to return for more. My wife and I will.If you're in the area, don't miss Hummus Yummy!“

“My favorite go to vegan Thai dinner. Gourmet food served in a casual restaurant. A gem in Los Angeles, free parking. Excellent food, highly recommended. Every dish was made with care and the ingredients are of high quality. Highly recommended. Chef is trained in the best culinary school in New York. Her constant passion to make better food is clearly reflected in her cooking. Each time I’ve been here, I can see how her food has stepped up to the next level.Vegetarian options: Chef is trained in the best culinary school in New York.“

“Best icecream df/gf. Kindest workers and the best owner. Always buy 3-6 pints to take home with me as I don't live in the area and it always goes so fast. The whole family loves it. They also re did their shop and it is so cute inside!! You also get points every-time you go...10 points = 6.75 off which is the best deal ever. Cannot recommend enough :)“

“Very much enjoyed the food and experience here. Small quaint place with charm and authenticity. I had the vegan pad Thai which was well prepared, and the tofu and vegan chicken were tasty and nicely incorporated. Would love to try the curries next time.“

“Went here yesterday for the Oscar’s party and it was such a hoot! I LOVED the puppies they had in front and that they care for rescue dogs, the food was incredible, the Bingo was fun and watching the Oscars on the big screens felt awesome as well! Definitely recommend coming here for events (eg I look forward to watching the World Cup here eventually) but would also come again for their nachos alone lol! Also the heaters were great once the sun went down!“

“I've been coming here for years, I can't believe I haven't written a review! I love their food. My favorite item to order is their mung bean pad thai, although I wish there was an option to get it with soy chicken or beef and not just tofu skewers. The tofu cubes are huge so the flavor doesn't really penetrate them. I like this dish because the noodles and veggies are flavorful. My family also enjoys cashew nut lover dish and the buddha rolls. Those are so filling, I can just get those and be happy. If you like thai tea, you must try it here. So good. One star off because parking is difficult, especially on weekends, and it's a little pricy for me. The good thing is that inflation has led to all restaurants raising their prices in the last couple of years, so I am more used to it and not as bothered as I used to be . Note: the seats are incredibly uncomfortable so if you dine in and have back issues like me, bring a cushion.“

“The Grain Cafe in Culver City on Venice blvd did it again ! Every time I try something different,,, and let me tell you , they never disappoint. I ordered for delivery it was a wet burrito in green sauce ! I love the vegan chicken ! Everything is delicious . Also the guy who answers the phone is always so pleasant, courteous, and professional. For someone that is going vegetarian, I always find it easy to eat something I am craving without the meat . Thanks guys“

“Today was my 1st time ordering at Leo’s. I ordered the hot hash bowl & it was so delicious I had to take it home! Parking is easy at this restaurant & the cashier gave me excellent customer service. I didn’t order a drink but he gave me a cold glass of water while I waited for my food to finish cooking. The cook is very special. She definitely knows what she’s doing in that kitchen. As society becomes more health conscious, I really hope places like these get more attention & customers. Being a small business owner myself, I hope Leo’s stays in my community & continues to thrive. I recommend you try this place. The food tastes amazing & the atmosphere is positive. Good vibes!“

“AMAZING!!! This place is genius and delicious. I wish it were located closer to home, but well worth the drive. Prices are great, food is incredible, and to top it off...VEGETARIAN!!!! I'm far from vegan and love Chinese cuisine, so this place giving me the great taste without the negativity of eating a lot of meat...perfection!“

“We were looking for a place with gluten-free options and this turned out to be a very good choice. The cauliflower and roast beef sandwich were delicious. I especially liked the waitress, who was always attentive without overwhelming the staff.Dietary restrictions: Varias opciones GF (Gluten Free)“

“It's plated very beautifully and the food is all amazing, especially for being vegan. It's a tiny little restaurant, only three little tables, but it's all very good and very very well priced, especially for CaliforniaVegetarian options: It's a vegan place. They have a number of dishes labeled 'chicken' and whatnot but when my sister opened it up it was clearly not on the inside, but still goodWheelchair accessibility: There's ~3 accessible parking spots and a small ramp“

“So after many years of bad eating / good eating I decided to start eating better and cleaner again. I am not a vegan or vegetarian and still eat some lean meat and chicken from time to time but have been eating about 80 percent plant based / vegan etc. lately. Not a lot of vegan restaurants around but I've seen this place for years and decided to try it out. The lady at the front that took my order was super nice and welcoming. The menu here has some pretty great options and I was definitely impressed. I will definitely use this place as a go to now that I've made some changes to my diet. I tried a few things and all were very tasty. Give them a try! Enjoy...“

“The O'Cado Burger was a 10/10. The vegan crabcakes had good presentation but it’s missing some flavor. The peach ice tea was unsweetened and would’ve been better with sweetness.The staff & hospitality is top notch.Clean, nice vibe and good music.“A” rating for food inspection.“

“Yummy! I've been really into acai lately. When I got a job in Century City, I found myself going to the Century City mall on a daily for lunch. During one of my lunch outings, I came across Oakberry Acai. When I entered, I was getting huge Deja Vu. I realized that I had been there once before thanks to a Yelp event. Since my experience went well during the Yelp event, I already knew I was going to like it.The place was clean and straight to the point. I was greeted by a nice gentleman who helped me order. I got an acai with granola, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. It definitely hit the spot! It tasted fresh and it was filling. Thank you!!“

“Delectable culinary-grade pastries and desserts. All are vegan and they fill the hole that was missing in the vegan dessert field. Now with gluten-free options. Perfection!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Non-dairy, no eggs, with gluten-free options“

“The Chocolate Freeze was so good! It's a way healthier alternative to any other dessert or ice cream. Added chocolate crumble, strawberries & almond butter. My new favorite, I'm obsessed and want to come back everyday just for this.“

“The food here is good. The service is always kind. The ambiance is that of Brazil. Their pão de queijo is delicious and so too is the go crazy açaí smoothie. Their Americano bowl is fantastic too. This is a great addition to the neighborhood.“

“I LOVE this vegan cafe. Lots of yummy options. Been there many times, though I wish it were closer to my home! I recommend the 'Chick-Un' Pot Pie, Southwest Sweet Potato and the Nutburger. So many delicious dishes! You'd never know that they are vegan. YUM!“

“Still working my way through the list of soups. Most have been excellent. A couple of just oks. Try the Thai coconut and add a tablespoon of peanut butter....insane! I am a carnivore and I still enjoy these.Dietary restrictions: If you are like me and struggle to eat more vegetables, this is an easy way to get better nutrition.“

“Jedric and Ashley were absolutely fantastic, and super accommodating and offered to easily change my crispy chicken sandwich once I discovered it had milk, because I'm lactose intolerant. Even though they already made the food Jedric very kindly refunded me.While ordering, Ashley made me feel welcomed, part of the burger lounge family, and did great recommending things on the menu which motivated me to try the chicken tenders. Having workers with personality is super important.Precisely because of the great customer service, I will definitely be back.There is a great atmosphere created by the staff that work here, and the food was phenomenal. The food was incredibly tasty. Hats off ? to the cook and the overall experience and people that run this place. Very clean.“

“Thank you Maia for taking good care of me last night. It was a bit of a hiccup in the order but you guys were super slammed and did your best. Maya , you were super sweet and patient with me. You had the order remade and you guys did it super fast and sent me on my way home with dinner w/ Hubby. And when I got home all the food was packed up so nicely and kept hot & yummy. Delicious!!! Thank You, just in time for movie night snuggles with family.“

“Thanks to our fabulous server, Joshua- everything was perfect! Two members of our party had finished the LA Marathon and Josh went out of his way to make sure they got everything exactly as they wished. He treated them like Kings - which they deserved. The food, as usual, was fresh and delicious and fantastic. Major props to the whole kitchen crew for doing such a great job on such a busy day. Also- the grass fed beef in the true blue burger is amazingly tender and fresh. Only to be topped by the grass fed ice cream on top of freshly baked chocolate chunk cookies.“

“We had a feast @The Vegan Joint in Woodland Hills!They definitely have a lot of options to choose from. I absolutely loved the Drumsticks. It's like chicken nuggets on a stick. Both the pad see ew and pad thai were perfect. You definitely have to try the impossible Krao pao. That is delicious. I want to order more of this next time.They have three locations.

“I enjoyed the G3 and the C2 from Rejuice, the other day with my wife, and we were both very impressed by the freshness and delicious flavors of our pressed juices. We will most definitely be returning here and trying the rest of these amazing “

“I first discovered Maneatingplant at a Yelp event for Topanga Social a few weeks ago. It was the first establishment I got to try for the evening, and sampled their amazeballs garlic noodles. It was so memorable, that tonight, a few weeks later, I made the trek in the horrid rain, all the way from my home in Marina Del Rey, just to have them again! Yes, SO good, it's worth the trip. It's a relatively simple dish, but so are simple cheese slices at some of the best pizza places in the world. The garlic noodles are bomb! This time around, I got to try the musubi. Most people know that for Hawaiians, this is a staple dish, and while this is a vegan version, got my Hawaiian stamp of approval. So good, I had to have two. I also got to try the Sichuan Steamies, essentially their mushroom dumplings. Very solid, and what I love most about them, like all the dishes here, is the guilt-free dining that will keep my cardiologist happy. Happy to keep coming back here! Also have to give a shoutout to Carlos, who took care of me tonight. He prepared everything to perfection, and even got me to discover a love for their chili oil...... I put it on everything, even the ice-cream I had later at a different place.“

“Put simply, my favorite restaurant of all time is Leonore's. I love it, and I can't say enough good things about this place. My favorite meal there is their soy chicken enchilada dinner, and I add a beet salad and a flaxseed tea. And their waitress Amy is terrific.“

“Got the carne asada burrito and it was delicious! It had a mild tamarind flavor which was different. The lady that helped me was very nice and offered a variety of hot sauces and packed them up for me. Definitely a go to spot if you don't eat meat but are craving the flavor! It also had several tables inside for dining in.“
