50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“Love & Salt is an excellent dinner spot for something a bit more upscale.

They have a pretty substantial menu, with a lot of great options. They even have some really delicious mocktails.

Make sure not to miss the meatballs for an appetizer. They were probably the best dish of the night. That said, you can't really go wrong with anything you order.

I only really had two very minor complaints. Their pasta was a little more al dente than I tend to go for, but that didn't ruin the dishes by any means. The other thing was that the mocktails didn't come with anything to stir them with. Even a straw would have been helpful.

All things considered, you really should check out Love & Salt if you are in the LA area. Well worth it.“

“My first time to dine here. Enjoyed the food n I got just enough for me to eat.Food was really good.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“Beautiful little restaraunt by Manhattan Beach Pier. I’m there every year end of Aug.“

“Amazing view!! Delicious Polynesian Sea Bass. Visited LA for 4 nights and my best meal!!! Walkable area with beach and bike path. Will come back and stay in this area! Restaurant prices are not too high in comparison to other restaurants that aren’t as good.“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“Brewco Social absolutely nailed it! We came here with two families, 8 of us total, before heading down to the beach, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely welcomed. The location is unbeatable literally steps from the Manhattan Beach boardwalk, so it’s the perfect place to grab a great meal before hitting the sand.

The service was fantastic. The two girls taking our orders were smiling, friendly, and patient, while the guys were constantly moving around making sure every table was taken care of. It was one of those places where you could tell the entire team was working together like a well oiled machine.

And the bartender deserves a shout-out because he absolutely knew what he was doing! We started with a triple, went to a double, and finished with a single and every drink was on point. 😂

Now the food… WOW. My smash burger was absolutely incredible. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked. Honestly one of the juiciest smash burgers I’ve had. The kids loved their meals, and the wives were very happy with their salads, so somehow everyone at the table left happy.

The atmosphere was another huge plus. The whole place is beautiful and has that upscale, polished feeling you’d expect from a high-end restaurant in Beverly Hills, but without feeling stuffy or pretentious. It has a really great Manhattan Beach vibe.

5 stars all day. Great location, great food, great drinks, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. You guys are doing it right, keep up the good work! We’ll definitely be back.“

“The Kettle is my go-to when friends or family arrive on a red-eye or when I just want a relaxing breakfast w/o dishes. Consistent food, comfortable booths, no nonsense, and exactly the kind of place that won’t irritate you. “Locally world famous” sounds ambitious, but in this case, yup.“

“As always, the food was amazing. Every dish was good. Highly recommend the Crostini, Parker house rolls, and octopus for appetizers. Salmon was cooked perfectly, the scallops and pesto pasta light and bright, the bolognese pasta tasty and not to heavy, and the sea bass was melt in your mouth. My all time favorite is the chili and lime avocado salad. Service not only from our server, but all the other workers, including the hostess that seated us were all incredible,“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“

“Great Indian food, and I love the weekly buffet. Sundays, it comes with champagne, if you ask for it. Wide variety of choices. Consistently tasty. Staff is friendly and attentive. Very clean, and comfortable.“

“I think they serve the best hamburger I’ve ever had in my life! I drive down from LA once a month because I crave it so much.“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“Overall a nice stay: friendly staff, nice updated facilities, free ♿️ valet👌-3 to 4 blocks from beach. Very expensive at $500 per night, used the 2 $10 free tickets at bar for 2 drinks and still owed $8.36. This was the host hotel and stayed 2 nights Fri/Sat July 22-23, 2022, with hamburger & soup in room, total $1100. T.“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Easily some of the best ice cream you will ever have! Handel's makes their ice cream fresh daily, and you can absolutely taste the difference—it is incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Their menu is massive, so there’s always something new to try, but you can’t go wrong with the classics or their seasonal specials. The portions are very generous for the price, and the service is always fast and friendly. It’s an absolute must-visit every single time I’m craving something sweet!“

“Luis and the staff did a great job. They provided great service and recommendations. The banana seasonal beer was definitely different, but it was really good. Overall, from visiting out of town this is the best quality Japanese restaurant around. Thankful for the team you have!“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“It's a nice place. The food is good. Not the best. But their service is amazing and the ambiance is cool. It feels like you're in a Spanish hacienda“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“We had a wonderful experience at El Mercado Mexican Restaurant in Manhattan beach! Fernanda was so pleasant and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. And Gabe, the bartender, was awesome—he made the best drinks! Great service, great atmosphere, and delicious food. We will definitely be back! 🌮🍹😊“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“A joy to be at Rice, the staff so attentive, a celebration of small plates filling our table for three. A perfect sunny evening shared.“

“I have had trouble eating lately. This is the first time I have felt hunger in quite awhile. This microbowl and Lion’s Mane Smoothie is exactly what I needed ! Many thanks to the wonderful staff who are always friendly 🙏“

“We went here for dinner on Monday evening. The place was easy to locate. Parking was underground and there were several spots available so overall got there in good spirits.

When we entered the restaurant, the server at the bar asked us to grab a few menus and seat ourselves. The restaurant was completely empty so we had a choice of tables to pick from! The inside of the restaurant was a little dark and dingy. The tables were old and overall, the inside appeared tired.

The server was at our table very quickly. We were the only client so we got his full attention! He was a very nice guy, very pleasant and friendly. We placed our drinks orders and they came out immediately. We then ordered a salad and a pizza to be split between the two of us.

The salad came out quickly and was excellent. Everything was fresh and the mozzarella cheese was very nice. The dressing was delicious as well.

Soon after, the pizza came out. The crust was absolutely amazing, almost perfect. Above all, it tasted amazing. As we were eating I tried to get the servers attention for a drink refill. That took some doing despite there not being anyone else - perhaps, it would have been easier if there were more clients and they would have been more attentive! Anyway, once I got his attention, the drink came along quickly!

Overall, we really enjoyed the meal. They have been around for 35 years and I feel that fact is reflected both in the quality of their food (very good leading to great success) and the furniture (really shows its age!!). I would certainly be coming back here anytime I want a quick meal/pizza and I recommend it strongly for anyone in the area looking to have good pizza.“

“Good old school hot plate Mexican food. Good crunchy tacos 🤗“

“Always wanted to try this sushi place. Just used its app to order ahead and pay, then pick up at the scheduled time. It's a takeout only. No problem, my office is 1.5 miles drive away. Sashimi was very good, and scallop sushi is too. Will definitely revisit.“

“I’m eating here at Sweetgreen and honestly the staff has been super attentive, especially Andrew! I really loved his attitude and service — he was genuinely very kind, and the food was delicious too. Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“Came to eat with the fam after a day at the beach. Always hit Fatburger when in town, but this one is extra good. Food was delicious, not thrown together, the girl working the register was very friendly and welcoming, and the guy on the grill went out of his way to accommodate special orders for the kids and even brought the food out himself.

Hard to find quality service, especially in the fast food space, but the two people working this store are solid.“

“Hawaiian themed chain restaurant in the Mall. Went with my Aunt who loves the food. Had china coast salad which was good. Very accommodating, my cousin wanted a burger with no bun which was no problem. Server was attentive. Overall good experience for chain restaurant.“

“Creamery really rises to the cone-casion — pun intended

Creamery is a true Manhattan Beach institution. Generations of locals have ended beach days here, and it’s easy to see why. While the ice cream is excellent, the real star is the legendary ice cream sandwich—freshly baked cookies wrapped around generous scoops of ice cream. Simple, messy, and absolutely worth it.

The atmosphere is casual and friendly, with that classic Southern California beach-town charm. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime local, Creamery is one of those places that never seems to go out of style.

Pro tip: Order the ice cream sandwich, no questions asked. Then take the short walk to the pier or the Strand—it’s the Manhattan Beach tradition you didn’t know you needed.“

“best quality, best taste, best staff! if you care about organically sourced ingredients that are actually good for you - these smoothies are it! visiting their MB location is our favorite outing, and their staff makes it that much better. everyone is so friendly and personable. they even put together a gift basket for us when we had our son. so sweet & we especially love our girl Aliyah!“

“Beautiful views of the golf course , with a lovely interior plus enjoyable food makes this a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

While staying at Westdrift, I really enjoyed my experiences at Jute.

Service was friendly and attentive.

Food hit the spot:

Turkey Club: was a large toasted cheesy sandwich. And overall had nice ingredients inside of it. Plenty of fries came with the order.

Jute Burger: a large half pounder. For five dollars extra, I ordered bacon and it came with five slices of crispy pork. The ingredients inside were fresh and filling.

Korean BBQ Tacos - generously filled with meat and toppings. Serrano peppers on side made it absolute delicious.

Salmon Crudo - fresh light fish, popping with flavor. Good starter with a nice contrast of crispy chips.

Overall, a good to great hotel restaurant. With so many great restaurants in the area to choose from, Jute should not be overlooked.“

“Super service and awesome selection of coffee drinks. Attention to detail is on point.“

“The food was delicious, especially the scallion pancakes, which were the best I’ve ever had. The Dan noodles were a good match with the braised beef. Popcorn chicken was delicious. The soup dumplings were okay, but they were not very large for the price. The rice and sides were also good.

The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend it.“

“best effin tahc's bruv. fr fr“

“Jurnee and Kim go above and beyond with their service! My family and I have never experienced their service before! We hope to be able to request them in the bear future! On point, sweet, and super attentive WOW! They deserve their flowers and tips! Thanks for making our lunch feel so amazing yesterday!“

“Fresh and great sushi! In combination with the nice cocktails a great experience.“

“My dog, who is super picky, I’m talking so picky that you can treats right in front of his face and he won’t eat it ABSOLUTELY LOVES all the food - and I think we’ve tried nearly all the combinations! SURPRISED AND ABSOLUTELY THRILLED!“

“I would like to add to the many reviews! The food was superb. The customer service followed. I was so pleased with the owner conversation her kindness and understanding her journey and walk to get To this place in time, I was just so pleased with that restaurant like no other particularly to the customer service. She was so accommodating and so pleasant. I cannot begin to tell you please patronize this wonderful delicious Thai food. The food was outside the box delicious I'm just very very happy to leave this review in honor of this owner. I don't remember her name, but I'm sure she stands out from the rest of the restaurant and she was just a wonderful person please go there you'll enjoy it.“

“We chose it for the gluten free pizza, and it was great. No cross-contamination for a coeliac in our group. We had the pepperoni pizza. We did takeout as it's a strip mall place, so not that vibey to eat in, but fine if you do want to.“

“The best pizza and Italian dinners in the Manhattan Beach area! Fast delivery and delicious food.“

“The food was good. Service was top notch.“
