50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Laguna Beach

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

“Great ambience and service, but the food was the star. Had the black pepper and thyme loaf, grilled shrimp, wedge salad, rib eye, strip loin and loaded baked potato and all were excellent. Didn't have room for dessert, but we'll be back for the sticky toffee pudding.“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“We didnt have a reservation but got lucky we only had to wait 10 ish minutes and they called us. We really love the pizzas here and get the mushroom pizza with the spicy pepperoni (its both called something different on the menu but thats essentially what it is) and love to pair it off with nice wine selections.
It is mostly high top seating which isnt my favorite but its fine. It is sort of cramped in there but had space enough to get by tables. Its also kind of loud in there but from general speaking noise.“

“Great Italian Ice cream, good service and fun place for all ages!“

“excellent food atmophere and service!“

“If you want a unique dining experience this is the place to go.

Awesome awesome experience wonderful food. I will be back!“

“Oatmeal wax delicious as well as decaf cappuccino 😁👍“

“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.“

“Had a client dinner here at The Loft while they were in town evaluating Laguna Beach properties — the setting alone sealed the deal on their interest in the area. The restaurant sits within the Montage resort with sweeping views that are genuinely hard to beat. The menu is thoughtfully put together with quality ingredients and an impressive wine selection. Service was polished and attentive. As someone who regularly brings buyers to Laguna Beach, I find that a meal at The Loft does more for their decision than any property brochure ever could. The atmosphere communicates the lifestyle perfectly.“

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

“Good Food! Good service. 👍“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“Great food! Great vibe! Great time!“

“Had a really good experience at GU Ramen Taps & Tapas recently. The ramen was flavorful, the tapas were perfect for sharing, and the drinks selection was solid too. We went during happy hour and the atmosphere was super fun and relaxed, definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Quick and fresh. Loved our burritos. Seems to be more of a take out place. There’s two tables out front, one of which we were able to snag to chow down before heading to our appointment in town. The cabbage in the burrito gives it that crunch and the salsa is so flavorful. The steak was delicious too! I added beans and no rice for maximum flavor!!!“

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

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

“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“

“If you’re visiting Laguna Beach and haven’t been to Splashes Restaurant at the Surf & Sand Hotel, you’re missing out on one of the area’s hidden gems. A lot of people assume you have to be staying at the hotel to eat there, but that’s not the case at all. We simply walked in, spent a few minutes enjoying the incredible ocean views from the lobby, and then headed down for breakfast around 7:10.

To our surprise, we practically had the place to ourselves. The setting is unbeatable—waves crashing just outside the windows and a perfect panoramic view of the Pacific.

The food was every bit as impressive as the scenery. I had the blueberry pancakes with Meyer lemon syrup, and they were absolutely amazing. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and thoughtfully prepared.

Between the spectacular oceanfront location and the outstanding food, this instantly jumped to the top of my list of favorite breakfast spots in Laguna Beach. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area. Don’t assume it’s only for hotel guests—walk in, enjoy the view, and have one of the best breakfasts in town. 🌊🥞☕️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Our family experienced an incredible evening, celebrating a birthday with a party of 14. The service was flawless, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful!
Appreciated the ease of my wheelchair accessibility.
Thank you to Garrett for overseeing our dinner and fire pit experience that was a special end to the evening!
We look forward to returning.“

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

“My daily simple lunch for remote work offers many options for a pescatarian/vegetarian. Clean, organic, and delicious!!! 🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏾“

“Third-floor sushi spot above Glenneyre on the main drag. The fish quality is noticeably above the average Coast Highway sushi stop — thick cuts, proper temperature, buttery texture that tells you it's fresh. The black cod preparation is a standout. Doubles as takeout if you want to eat on the beach across the street. One of those spots that quietly outperforms its profile.“

“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!!!“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The staff member that helped me (purple hair and a nose piercing) made my first visit to Poke Tiki so pleasant that I want to go back. Their communication was clear and they helped me make such a delicious poke bowl! We need more customer service and kindness like this person—they made me feel welcomed. The bowl was tasty with fresh fish and great toppings. 10/10 would recommend if you like a relaxed food spot with nice people around.“
