50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Laguna Beach

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

“Overall a great experience. Perfect for a date night. We were given an option of a lively or quiet experience. We chose the first option. I personally have never eaten a place like this before so it was an experience in itself. Food was good! Plenty of options. Shout out to Rafael our server! He was exceptional, & made us feel comfortable.“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“Their Omakase is one of the best.“

“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 ❤️“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very close to the beach, close to center of everything. I personally thinks it’s more for American palate. Not for Chinese palate. But given it’s in a touristy place, I think it’s very very good Chinese food, speaking as a Chinese eater. lol.“

If you're looking for quality sushi in Laguna Beach this is the spot. Quiet, tucked away, and just doing things perfectly. I'd have taken photos, but it was too good to wait.“

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰“

“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.“

“Fantastic experience. Enjoyed the tasting menu with pairing. Our server, Carson, was attentive, professional and very knowledgeable. The food was creative, and we enjoyed it very much, especially the scallop and bisque. Ahi tuna could've been a bit more tender, but flavor profile was superb. The crashing waves at our balcony table made for a very entertaining night! Loved it snd will come again.“

“Good Food! Good service. 👍“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

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

“Great food! Great vibe! Great time!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Our dinner at Harvest at the Ranch was exceptional from the moment we walked in until the moment we left.

The experience started at the bar with Carlos, who took the time to let me taste a wine I thought I wanted before gently steering me toward a Chardonnay, knowing I’m typically a Chardonnay drinker. He was absolutely right—it was delicious and set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Even though we hadn’t reserved an outdoor table, one became available within minutes, and we were able to enjoy one of the most beautiful views imaginable.

Our server, Crews, was outstanding. His knowledge of both the menu and the property made the evening so much more enjoyable. Every recommendation was spot on, and when we ordered something he suspected we wouldn’t love, he was already prepared with an alternative that ended up being even better. He never steered us wrong.

Sal, the sommelier, stopped by our table and completely elevated the experience. He shared fascinating stories about the wines in a way that was entertaining for everyone at the table. Even our 15-year-old son was completely engaged, which says a lot!

Irvin, our busser, was equally impressive. He was attentive without ever being intrusive. When a piece of silverware accidentally hit the ground, he seemed to appear out of nowhere with a replacement before we even had to ask.

Between the incredible food, breathtaking setting, and one of the best service teams we’ve experienced anywhere, this was a truly memorable evening. Hospitality like this is rare, and every member of the team made us feel genuinely cared for. We can’t wait to come back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Thai Brothers was phenomenal! Although our GPS took us all the way around the block only to bring us right back to the entrance, the food and service were amazing. We were able to select our seats. The server was very prompt in bringing menus, ice water and silverware. We ordered Thai Tea and Spring Rolls to start. Although Thai Tea is very sweet, it is super delish and was made perfectly! The spring rolls arrived hot, crispy and with a very yummy sauce. We ordered different types of curry, which came with a side of rice. The servings were generous and the curries were so good it was difficult to stop eating even when full! The server didn't ask our spiciness level preferences. She may have assumed on our behalf and picked a lower level or because we didn't specify, so make sure you tell them.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Maya was awesome! She was our waitress and bartending for bar patrons and was working her tail off in the heat to keep everyone happy and doing an outstanding job! Greg was awesome as well giving us recommendations of great beaches to bring my granddaughter! Jenny got us out of the hot sun by moving our umbrellas around to block the sun! Front staff nice enough to accommodate us on the rooftop with i Initially was supposed to be a party of six and wound up being a party of eight! Food was great and love the happy hour and the drink menu! I always come here when in town for my family visits! See yall again soon!“

“Awesome service. Awesome food. Namiste“

“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!“
