50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Laguna Beach

“I will definitely be returning. I'm very happy to say that this restaurant is worth the price tag. The food was excellent, one of the best steaks in Southern California, atmosphere great, and service outstanding. I don't feel there's anything you can go wrong with on their menu, from the bread service, to the Mac n cheese, to the aged rib eye, and smoked old fashioned I left more than satisfied.“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“So much fun! Came here for my birthday and they did everything right- food, ambiance, staff, etc“

“My new favorite Happy Hour place in Laguna Beach.Great deal! Excellent price for good quality wines plus discounted food menu. Pizza of the day is half off during HH. Artisan wood fired pizzas are fabulous. Extensive wine list you won’t find in any other pizza place. Great place for larger parties.“

“Great breakfast burrito! Simple, friendly cafe that has been here as long as I can remember!“

“Had a great meal and wine with friends. We did have to ask for olive oil and vinegar after they brought us the wonderful rosemary bread, but hey, no biggie. Otherwise, service was great!!“

“The executive chef, Evan, is truly a force to be reckoned with in the culinary world. Every bite we had was delicious. I would highly recommend the filet mignon. The ambiance was comfortable, getting a front row seat to a lovely sunset over the ocean was divine. I will be back as soon as I can. Make dining here a priority.“

“This place is fantastic! I had their Chicken Tortilla Soup and it had so many layers of flavor. The staff are so courteous and attentive. Love the customer service and the food is delicious. Their medium spice salsa is fresh, you can taste the hint of lime and it is so flavorful. I am bookmarking this place and bringing back friends.“

“Yukino is one of the kindest, most hardworking people I’ve ever met. She and the team at Sea Butter Laguna Beach treat me like family every time I visit. The quality of the sushi is amazing, but it’s the warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

Yukino goes above and beyond for every guest—she’s attentive, gracious, and genuinely cares about the experience. Sea Butter is lucky to have her. Highly recommend this spot—not just for the food, but for the heart. ❤️“

“Súper recomendado muy sabroso 😋 y muy amables todos 💕🙏“

“The Lumberyard located in beautiful downtown Laguna Beach is a great place to have lunch or dinner. There is a new $16 lunch menu and I decided to try the fish tacos. There was a choice between salmon or halibut for the tacos which included shredded cabbage with a pink cream sauce and a side of black bean and corn salad. I chose the halibut for my taco and it was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion of fish in each of the tacos so it could easily be split with a friend. The service was excellent. Our orders were taken within about five minutes of sitting down and the food came out quickly after we ordered. I would recommend the Lumberyard if you are visiting Laguna Beach. You will need to have reservations during the Art Festivals or when there is a play at the Playhouse.“

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰“

“When you taste them, you'll know he qualities they possess that you can't resist“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Literally a hole-in-the-wall, but with GREAT Mediterranean food. Limited seating with an ocean breeze. Pricey, but worth it!

Parking: Don't drive to this place. Make your plans to enjoy Laguna Beach on foot, parking in one of the paid garages, and walk to this place. It's worth it!“

“Good Food! Good service. 👍“

“The food is very tasty, good presentation! delicious 😋“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“Great food and awesome service! Perfect place for brunch 😋“

“I ordered the ramen tofu because there normal ramen was a combination of tonkotsu broth with pork and chicken.
Since I don't eat pork, it had to be the tofu one, which is really sad for me. I was expecting them to add chicken to it, but they couldn't, so I had to order a chicken lolipop on the side, which was actually pretty good.
So if you don't like/eat pork it's gonna be hard for you in there but otherwise the ramen tofu was good but I didn't want to eat tofu because I don’t like it but chicken but like I said I had no choice but to order it.“

“The food was excellent! I will definitely return.“

“A traditional Americanized Chinese restaurant located in Laguna Beach, established in 1984, it has been a local favorite for years. The lunch menu is affordable around $15 per dish which includes fried rice, fried wonton, and fried chicken wing as sides. I ordered the house special beef and it was tender, sweet and tangy. The service was pretty good. We came with a big group of ~15 people on Saturday and they sat us down in the side room so we can have our own space.“

“A nice small café with a boutique attached. It felt to me like an original breakfast place with unique menu items.

Your order at the counter where you can also see the daily specials, and then you sit where you want.

The food actually came pretty fast.
The hot chocolate was nice - it wasn’t too thick and didn’t seem over sweet. The foam was actually nice to have!
There is an effort in presentation as you can see from the pictures.
We all liked it. I tried a bit of the swedish pancakes, it is very sweet and heavy as you can expect, but enjoyable!
The Eggs Anna were definitely original with that sauce. It was very interesting. I’m not gonna say it’s the best thing I ever had, but it was good.

It was farmers’ market, but we didn’t struggle to find a place to sit.
For parking, you need to find in the city - but, the place is not far from the main areas, so convenient. You just walk a few blocks.

Overall, a cool spot - we were not sure where to go and wanted a more local place. So, I guess we found it!“

“This by far the best Poke bowl restaurant in SoCal! The food is always fresh and the staff is really polite and helpful if you want to try something new. It's always clean and has simple and mellow atmosphere. You won't find a better selection and service any where else!

Parking: Underground parking is free when they stamp your ticket. Always space to park.“

“Thai Brothers has been in Laguna Beach for almost 40 year and the food is absolutely wonderful! They provide large servings and allow you to easily customize your order. The staff are friendly and always make me smile. I usually get takeout though because the restaurant is relatively small and it can be difficult to hear each other sometimes. I hope they're still around in another 40 years!“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“This was our first time back to Splashes since the resort had been renovated. The ambiance was fabulous, the service was very attentive and friendly and the food was incredible. The menu is diverse, sophisticated California cuisine, with something for everyone. I would highly recommend Splashes for any occasion!!“

“The breakfast at Z pizza is surprising great. The food is very healthy, presented beautifully. It’s a unique experience. And the coffee is very good“

“Excellent food and good service.“

“Food is usually superb as is the atmosphere. Service quality depends on the staff… possibly understaffed when we were there, but overall it’s a go-to place for brunch or a nice local time out. We often hit up the outdoor scene for live music, drinks, and the best ambience in town.“

“We live right up the canyon and had never visited. Highly recommend!! Great food, reasonable prices, our waitress, Cassidy was so great! She was efficient with everything and just had the nicest personality. We will be back!!!“

“Great food Great atmosphere“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. Only outdoor seating and walk up window to order. Perfect spot to grab a bite before the pageant of the masters about 10 minute walk from there! Steak Street Tacos beans and rice were excellent. A little disappointed they had run out of the jerk chicken. We will have to go back to try it!“

“Can’t go wrong with Shirley’s! Order ahead online or call and beat the line!“

“My last visit was 7 years ago during a food tour where this was one of the stops. I’m happy to report that they are still as good as ever. Where can you get a carne asada burrito for under $13 these days and one that is so fresh tasting. I purposely ate it without the accompanying verde sauce. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, cabbage and avocados were fresh, and the flour tortilla was thin and stretchy which held together all that goodness.

We were enjoying it so much we didn’t get a chance to take a photo. Dine-in is quite small having only 2 outside tables so it’s best for takeaway. Just walk 3 blocks on Laguna Ave. toward the ocean, sit on one of the park benches, and enjoy. Good job guys. So nice to know you’re still going strong and serving up fresh, affordable options in this pricey beach town.“

“Clean and fast with plenty of out door seating. By from some of the best pizza I’ve had. If we’re ever in Laguna again I’ll be sure to stop!“

“I ordered the Moulin Salad - chicken and pesto- excellent!“

“This wonderful little restaurant is the gem of South Laguna. if you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop by and try it out! The food is delicious and they offer a wide variety of dishes. I've been going there with my wife for over 20 years and never once had a bad meal. Papa's is also one of the best take outs in Laguna Beach“

“Muy ricas y frescas, algo diferentes de las que se comen en mi pais( Argentina) pero sabrosas, las recomiendo a todos los que visiten Laguna Beach! Aprobadas!“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“I got to visit on 6/22 minutes before our group went to hang out at the beach. I ordered one of the popular smoothies, Chunky Monkey. I enjoyed my drink because I could taste the peanut butter, chocolaty flavors. The place was clean and had a nice wall of art of avocados. Next time, I want to try a sandwich or an avocado toast. There is plenty of seating outside. I would have given it five stars if they had a smaller size of cup just because I knew I didn't want too much.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“
