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!“

“One of the best restaurants around. From the Yellow Tail Crudo to the Farmers Market Peas & Burrata di Puglia to the Salt Spring Mussels to the Duck Egg Pizza. Everything was simply amazing and the service, drinks and energized atmosphere make this a place we like to come to often. Highly recommended.“

“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“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“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 Kettle is a Manhattan Beach classic and one of our favorite places to grab a meal by the beach. It's the perfect spot to bring the family on a Sunday morning for brunch before or after a walk along the Strand.

The food is consistently great, whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night bite. There's something for everyone on the menu, which makes it an easy choice when dining with family and friends.

What really stands out is the hospitality. Chemo, the manager, is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always makes guests feel appreciated. The staff is attentive, hardworking, and keeps the same positive attitude even during the late-night hours.

We’ve visited several times over the years, and the service and overall experience have always been consistent. Between the great food, welcoming atmosphere, and prime location just steps from the beach, it's easy to see why The Kettle has been a local favorite for so long. Highly recommend for families, locals, and visitors alike.“

“WOW! We just stopped into Brewco for the World Cup game and had an amazing experience. Our server Mick made the experience even better... He was awesome. The food was great & everything came out in a timely manner. The service, the environment, and the food were exactly what we were looking for! Thanks Brewco!“

“I am very satisfied with this restaurant; I celebrated my birthday there and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, and the waitress—Cristin—was very welcoming. Despite being very busy, she provided great service. Thank you for making my birthday so happy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“The atmosphere inside is a great homie and warm feeling! Takes me back to Japan in a nostalgic way. ORDER THESE 2 DISHES IF YOU COME:

1. Scallop kiwi - super refreshing and smooth. Great for summer
2. Miso black cod - Amazing flavor with the miso. Super tender fish and great assortment of vegetables with it.

Only knock is the sushi bar was a bit slow to make the sushi, but it was also packed… for a Monday night, which was also impressive in its own right“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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! ✨💖🥂“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“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 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! 🌮🍹😊“

“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.“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

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

“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!“

“Excellent pizza truly. This is a family owned business and I was in the area and love trying pizza from new places. The crust is thin and the cheese is really melted well and the crust is crispy at the bottom . The place reminds me of a og pizza spot in New York. The owner was there as was his son. They prefer cash as compared to credit card and they are very nice. They deliver and I will try that . Parking is not very difficult and there are lots of different professional businesses in this area. It was quiet and not crowded when I went. Plenty of space to sit down. Some high top chairs and some sit down tables and you order In the front and they bring you the food. I definitely will be back and try delivery too“

“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.“

“Ordered a giant takeout order for my coworkers - 27 items. The order was filled on time, was fresh and delicious, and similar but different items were labeled so as not to cause confusion. Great experience, and will continue to get food from there.“

“Came In and sat at the bar and Gaby was my host and she was phenomenal her service was amazing and was very attentive and friendly, I got the island lager which was always good and got the 3 fish tacos and they also were really bomb, highly recommend this spot and she made the whole experience fantastic“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Rick has amazing customer service skills. We were a bit hesitant to come bak because the last time the service from another server was not great. This time around, Rick really delivered exceptional service. He is representing the restaurant and the company very well.“

“best effin tahc's bruv. fr fr“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.

“porque me gusta el yogurt con fruta y nuecez.“

“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.“

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