50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Laguna Beach

“✨ Five-Star Birthday Dinner Experience! ✨ From start to finish, my birthday dinner was absolutely perfect! Our waiter, Rafael from Puerto Ricoooooo, was truly the highlight of my night warm, attentive, and full of great energy that made the evening extra special. I loved being seated in the lively area, just as they recommended perfect for people-watching and soaking in the fun atmosphere. The music selection was on point, setting the perfect vibe as we celebrated the night away with beautifully crafted, divine dishes. To top off this exquisite dining experience, the dessert selection was outstanding, and the thoughtful gesture of a personalized birthday note from the team meant the absolute world to me. I've never felt so genuinely celebrated and appreciated on my birthday. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful evening l you made my birthday truly unforgettable! 🎉💛“

“Very well managed and great food.“

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

“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.“

“We have been there many times and love it! One of the best sushi restaurants I know! I prefer sashimi and the presentation is beautiful and mouthwatering!“

“great NY vibe with good food“

“we are visiting and just happened upon this little spot for a quick lunch. the service is top notch and the burgers are amazing!“

“Never miss a stop at Zinc when I’m in the area. Can always find something I love to eat, no matter what I’m in the mood for.“

“I love Peony’s so much! The prices are great for being right in front of the beach and their portions are excellent! I work nearby and love to order food from here when I’m feeling hungry. Staff is nice and the service is quick. The food is always so delicious no matter what I order. I’d highly recommend Peony’s to anyone who comes to Laguna Beach!“

“excellent food atmophere and service!“

“Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️“

“I enjoyed the smoked spare ribs and the spicy stir fried prawns with veg Dessert was great too“

“The best restaurant with mussels in South Cali. Highly recommend!“

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

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰“

“Fantastic! Toshi-san is the real deal. If you want an authentic sushi experience in Laguna Beach, true to its origins, plus a little SoCal flair, this is the spot. Take it from someone who lived in Japan for over seven years and is tough to impress when it comes to sushi. Also lived the innovative appetizers like the crispy rice.“

“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. 👍“

“Traditional style. A great hang.“

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

“Delicious 🥰familiale belle vague 🌊 beach 🏝️☀️“

“Good food, good prices, friendly staff, great view from upstairs.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“Call to confirm our reservation when we were at the resort was done by a girl who spoke too quickly and mumbled so we couldn't understand the phone number to call back and confirm our reservation. Had to walk to the front desk to confirm our dinner reservation.“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“Awesome service. Awesome food. Namiste“

“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 vibe! Great time!“

“This is my favorite place on earth! My second time visiting & it’s just as amazing as the first time only better! I look forward to revisiting for our 10th anniversary in about 3 years. The entire environment makes me feel complete 💝 See you soon!“

“I love Maro's! As a local, this is my go-to spot for fresh, healthy dishes like the green beans and shishito peppers. The empanadas, especially the mushroom ones, are delicious. While I enjoy most of the entrées on the menu, my favorite is the bone-in filet—super yummy! The owners and staff are always on duty and aim to please, making you feel like family. The ambiance is great too, whether you choose to sit indoors or outdoors. For a more intimate setting, sitting indoors is perfect, but if you want to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, the outdoor patio is the way to go.“

“Great food in a great location. Would definitely go back.“

“Pizza was good as always, can’t go wrong with dominos. Our driver Igor was the best. I left a good tip on the order, but tried to give him a bigger tip after order was completed. Unfortunately there is no way to do that, so instead I’m leaving a review. Give that man a raise!“

“Very long wait times. Terrible customer service and overall, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The waiter messed up our order and argued with my wife about how he did not mess up the order and continued to argue with my wife, which further upset me and my parents. I asked the waiter to leave and requested to speak with the manager. I had explained everything to the manager and told the manager that because the food came out wrong and the waiter argued with my wife, that it was time to go because the waiter ruined our meal and our experience. After paying for 3 meals that we did not eat, the restaurant manager was extremely rude, told us to leave, and to never come back. We left very angry and upset. This restaurant ruined our entire afternoon. I do not recommend this restaurant because of the terrible customer service. If you make a mistake, own it, and make it right. Not the case here, they just want your money and send you on your way as fast as possible. If you’re looking for a nice dining experience there are far better options than this place.“

“Adam greeted us. Kent dropped fire on us with all the great helpful hints about the menu. I really dug his vibe! Jose T aka JT was an excellent server providing amazing customer service! The food was bomb! We loved the rooftop happy hour experience and being able to make reservations here. We will definitely be back!“

“We went for the first time yesterday before Pageant of the Masters. We were in a hurry for reasons out of our control, and they were great about getting our food out in time to enjoy on their front patio with a nice bottle of Italian red wine. They have umbrellas and heat lamps, but we didn't need them; the weather was perfect. I'm vegan so I ordered the Capellini al Pomodoro, but substituted it with the spicy sauce from the Rigatoni Arrabbiata. It was SO good. My husband had the Wild Mushroom Agnolotti, and that was also delicious. The other dish ordered was the Pesto Gnocchi, also so good! Every other place on Forest had at least an hour wait, but after all, it was a Saturday evening during the Festival of Arts. Thankfully someone recommended Salerno. We're definitely going back. Price spent reflects the wine. Next time, I'll try to make a reservation just in case!“
