50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lotus

“Beautiful, historic building, incredible food - creative dishes full of flavor, outstanding, friendly service from Kelsey. We slept on this place for so long, drove past many times figuring it'd be just be ok bar fare. Never been so happy to be wrong.“

“My husband and I were craving Chinese food so we headed up to Placerville to try the restaurant on Placerville Dr only to find out it was closed due to damage from a car. So we googled other locations close by and ended up at Grand China. We've lived in EDC for years and never knew that it was even there. Since this is on the back side of the shopping center and can be easily missed. I have to say the food was excellent, it was so tasty and light, not greasy at all like many other restaurants! The owner and wait staff were so nice, the atmosphere was great too. The portions were generous and I was actually so happy that we had leftovers to take home and enjoy again.We'll definitely be back to this hidden treasure behind Mickey D's!! ?“

“Favorite pizza spot in El Dorado County - the quality is unmatched and perfectly tasty. The informal atmosphere has a cool vibe with the look of a rustic industrial space but uncluttered and clean like you expect at a sit down restaurant. The beers are dangerously delicious, glug glug. The sweet and knowledgeable staff is helpful but not hovering. I could easily go once a week but I love it being kinda special too.“

“I love this place. If I could eat there for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day I would.
Honestly, there’s probably not a day. I don’t think about eating there.
People are very friendly and make you make you feel at home.
A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY , DELICIOUS FOOD AND GREAT ATMOSPHERE.
Thank you guys for all you do♥️♥️

Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment for all people, old and young.“

“Excellent Thai food. Very good service!“

“Lots of great Mexican restaurants around but if you want a nice sit down and chat atmosphere then this is the place in Diamond Springs. We've been here several times and we're new to the area. Never been disappointed.
Update: Usually have the chimichanga and love it, tried the super nachos and am happy to have another tasty dish on my list. Next time, bacon avocado burger.“

“Friendly service and beautiful ambiance combined with delish food …“

“My family has been eating there for years. We like everything but our tradition is chili cheese fries. whenever any of the family come to town, we go to ShoeStrings!“

“Wow!! The Bao is yum!!!! I also had Hot and Sour soup today that was amazing. A great selection of Tea too - sweetened and unsweetened! They were super nice and friendly! I need to bring back my family to try it! I am so excited about the good food!

Dietary restrictions: Had unsweetened iced green tea!“

“This winery is one of the best! We visited for a wine tasting and the gentleman was so informative about the wines and how they are harvested, we couldn’t get enough of his knowledge! The wines, all six, that we selected on our own were excellent! We will probably join the club when we get home! Also, there is a picnic area that you can purchase a charcuterie board or cheese and crackers, spreads and dips to sit down and enjoy with your bottle of wine! It’s fantastic!“

“my wife & I when there after dark it was little chilly outside side they ask if we like to sit outside or inside my wife said we like to sit inside after 5 minutes waiting for a table the waitress came got us set us a table that sets 6 people the only one available at that time after about 5 minutes setting the waitress though was coming over with menus or wanted to drink but she us to get back up go set back in the waiting area because she in cases alot people came in to use that table this was first time we were ever in there our friends was a great place to eat with great food so we left pissoff wrong way to run a business plus the manger heard the whole thing didn't do everything to help us out“

“A really great little meal spot in downtown Placerville. I stopped by here on the way back from South Lake Tahoe and I’m so glad I did. I got the Italian Pasty (which was basically a calzone with flaky pie crust instead) and it was great. Lots of good pie choices and a nice if tiny dining area with cozy decor. Would stop by again!“

“We enjoyed our lunch today. Nice atmosphere and great service. If I had anything that I would say wasn’t my favorite it would be the beer cheese dip that came with our garlic bread( bread was great). I am Irish and I expected a nice creamy cheddar cheese with a beer influence. Unfortunately, it was so spicy that I couldn’t taste anything but the heat. Maybe they should offer a milder version along with the spicy. Kinda bummed because I wouldn’t order it again. Just an idea.“

“Incredible pizza! We’ll definitely be back. So fresh and well made. Reminds me of NY“

“Best pizza ever. Staff is always helpful and very friendly.“

“The last visit was the end of 21. We decided to try again, and am I glad we did! Friendly lady answered the phone, took my to go order. We ordered egg rolls(which were really spring rolls), pot stickers that were stuffed full and very delicious, bbq pork chow mein(noodles were more like chow fun), honey walnut prawns that were absolutely delicious, sweet and sour pork absolutely delicious, and chicken with string beans which was absolutely amazing! I am sure we have enough leftovers for a few more meals!
We will go again, absolutely will be our go to place for amazing homemade chinese food“

“The Wine Smith in Placerville ? is truly a great experience! The wine and bubbles ? are sourced from global regions, the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! Our experience reminded us of being on Vacation, this is a true neighborhood find! Cheers to a Great Summer 2021!“

“The staff always has a friendly face and the food is always good.“

“This place absolutely gets a thumbs up from me. The ingredients were of great quality, the food was prepared excellently, and the staff were as friendly as could be. If you're looking for crispy crust on a pizza that isn't burnt, this is the place to go!

My one and only complaint is that the atmosphere of the restaurant was a little bit run-down. Everything was serviceable, but just looked worn out. Unlike other places I've eaten, however, I genuinely do not feel like this issue is born out of a lack of care on the Staffs' side. They seem to really care about the location, and do the best with what they've got.

They deserve your support! Worth every penny.“

“What great, friendly staff, and a plentiful menu! Our orders were taken quickly, and very little wait for them to be delivered to our table. My husband ordered the Cameron Roll and the Geisha Roll and said they were fantastic. I love that they have quite a few vegetarian options for sushi rolls, and I ordered a veggie Inari Roll and a veggie Tempura Roll, which I loved. We were there for lunch, and we will be returning soon!“

“Great little hole in the wall, and I mean that in a very positive way. Very authentic. Nicely decorated with wood walls and custom wood slab tables. Best of all the food is delicious! And very reasonable prices. Don't miss the place on your way through Cool!!!“

“The carne asada and pastor super burritos here are the very best! I eat here almost weekly and have never been disappointed. Prices are reasonable and staff are very friendly. Give it a try!

“I’ve been looking for a good Italian restaurant since I’ve been a little homesick, and I finally found it! Can’t say enough about the food here, I was so impressed! The portions are perfect, I left feeling so full and had to get a cannoli to go! We will definitely be back! I can’t wait for my mom to visit so I can take her here! 10/10“

“Very good. Service and food.“

“Everything!! Great atmosphere. Fabulous food and its presentation. Staff is eager to please and the opportunity for our band to perform on the patio was definitely a great feeling!“

“Best pretzel ever. The special chicken wrap was wonderful as well“

“I found this Take out restaurant from an article in The Sacramento Bee. Timmy's is not easy to find, but well worth the effort, It is located in a small complex on Main Street in Placerville near the Court House. The menu is very eclectic. I had the spicy prawn sandwich with a side of tater tots. Both were made fresh and served in a timely manner. The sandwich was flavorful and not overly spicy. The staff was informative and helpful. The prices were a bit high but well worth it for the quality.“

“the food is amazing the ribs are so good. great service!“

“Best chile relleno anywhere, ever. Seriously, this is what me and my girl use as a benchmark to rate other places CR’s. Everywhere else somehow falls short, which is inexplicable since this is historically a burger place, lol

Additionally their shakes are superbomb as is their soft serve.“

“I have had your pizza many times. This time I ordered the Garlic chicken pizza. The flavors were good but it was very soggy in middle of pizza. Like it was not cooked enough or too much moisture?
Has Tomatoes on it which have lots of water.
Just wanted you to know.
Thanks“

“We were just there this morning. The waitress was exceptional. Very nice. We had the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. Absolutely delicious. My husband had a ham and cheese omelet and he said it was the best he's had in quite sometime. So thankyou so very much, we will be back soon.“

“A welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home and special. Almost like you are family!“

“We stop in for lunch at downtown Placerville once a week. This place was great. Cool retreat from the heat, very clean, friendly and professional wait staff, and the food was excellent.“

“We stopped in on a whim and were very pleasantly surprised! The food was amazing! We ordered crab ragoons, wonton soup, pork fried rice, orange chicken, and pork egg foo young. We all struggled with picking a favorite. Delicious food, great service, and chill environment. Made for a great night!“

“We always love eating here.“

“best coffee and farm fresh food“

“Showed up and they were closing early but they let me in to order. Extremely nice people and the food was outstanding. We had
2 egg rolls
Foil wrap chicken
Garlic Chicken
Sweet and sour pork
And chow mein.

We will absolutely be back.“

“Paco's is fantastic! Absolutely phenomenal food and worth every penny! Much better than any other Mexican restaurant in El Dorado County!“

“Unbelievable food! I am so excited to have discovered this foothill gem on a whim. The Place is a little out of the way, but WELL worth the trip. It wouldn't be a stretch to say this is the best food in El Dorado County. The cuisine is Italian fusion rather than straight Italian, but it works incredibly well! Make sure you start with the Piemontese Bagna Cauda (AKA "Hot Bath"). It's the best flat bread you'll ever have, without hyperbole: crispy outside, wonderfully doughy inside. For main courses… take your pick. The pizza— traditional Napoli Italian style— is perfect, no matter which one you choose. The other entrees are just as good. Don’t be put off by the use of polenta in place of traditional pasta. I was skeptical at first, but the first bite washed away all misgivings. These people know how to cook! Bene, Cirino’s, Sergio’s, Three Forks… all the best Italian places in the foothills will have to fight for second place.“

“Food was awesome. Had to wait sometime to receive it and I was tired of the servers chit chat with each other not long after we arrived. “Literally this, literally that…” other than all the bored servers standing around it was well worth the stop. I would def stop in again. Food was awesome.“

“We catered Dickeys for our wedding. The food was delicious and plenty of it for everyone. They delivered and set everything up for us. Highly recommend!!! Lots of compliments from our guests. Great price too!“

“Very welcoming atmosphere. There's a bar for those who are inclined to relax and have a few drinks, separate from the dining area. Good selection on the menu. Entree was very flavorful, though the sides needed a little help. Service was great. Overall good experience“
