50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

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

“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.“

“Had a lovely lunch with out-of-town guests. Food was better than i remembered and the service was excellent. Had a great table next to the window at the end which was quieter to accommodate on member of the party who was hearing impaired and it was perfect.“

“The fish bar is in a great location the bartender Rose makes amazing drinks she friendly & attentive. She knows you by name. The food was great atmosphere is relaxed all the staff treats you like family. Highly recommend!“

“The food is amazing, never disappoints. My friend and I ordered the chicken parm special (available Monday and Tuesday), the fennel salad - which I always find refreshing, and the butternut squash pasta dish - Everything was so flavorful. Another great dish that we didn't order last night is their pizza and their stone fruit burrata salad. It's always a great night at Love and Salt.“

“Excellent location. I was 3 days post-op so could only have the broth from soup. Boyfriend ordered food. It looked and smelled amazing. Loved the outdoor seating option where I could see the ocean while enjoying the company, atmosphere, and soup. Service was acceptable, they could have stopped by a little more often.“

“This review is written from the perspective of someone who absolutely loves waiting 28 minutes for food—even when there are only two other customers in the entire place. If you're a fan of burgers and fries so salty they could be used for preserving meat, you’re in for a treat. Got bacon on your burger? Don’t worry—they’ll still pile on the salt, because who needs balance? And if you prefer your fries to taste like they're being dry-cured rather than cooked, congratulations—you’ve found your spot.

I actually don't like any of the above qualities in a restaurant. I have just forbidden myself to do any one star reviews because it is bad for business.“

“Lugar super agradável com Drinks e comida deliciosa❤️“

“Hands down one of the coolest bars in Manhattan Beach 🌴✨. Killer cocktails, super friendly staff, and chill prices (rare for the area). The vibe is stylish but laid-back — perfect spot for sunset drinks and real Manhattan Beach nightlife. 🍹🌊“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“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 friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“It was my first time at this crepe place and the items I ordered were amazing!
I started with a chicken pesto (savory) crepe and it was so delicious! Then I ordered a honeymoon crepe (sweet) filled with strawberries, banana & Nutella! My friend ordered the Oreo lovers bubble waffle - they both were amazingly delicious! Hands down best! Thank you Nathan & team! We’ll be back again 😊“

“Stopped by Un Caffé Altamura for breakfast and had such a great experience. I walked there, so I can’t speak to the parking, but I was seated right away. The coffee was delicious, breakfast hit the spot, and I treated myself to a mimosa—worth it! It’s a super cute spot just a block from the pier. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a cozy, satisfying start to your day.“

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“I had the warmest experience at The Arthur J, from the hostess at the front door, the wait staff and the manager. I had recently lost my husband prior to my reservation and was determined to enjoy our anniversary dinner. Not only was a the food delicious, but the overall experience was beyond memorable. Thank you…. thank you. Can’t wait until I return for his birthday.“

“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.“

“Genuinely exceptional from the warm welcome, the unique and beautiful atmosphere, and the attentive above-and-beyond team service. The Spicy Tuna Lemon roll was incontrovertibly the most uniquely mouthwatering sushi I’ve ever had the pleasure of savoring. I cannot recommend this place enough“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“Pretty good restaurant with authentic flavors. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the dishes are interesting, like the special lobster pad Thai and soft shell crab pad Thai. The lobster one seemed especially popular, so I might give it a try next time. There’s only 1 bathroom, so good luck during rush hour.“

“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.“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“Don’t confuse it with the one by the beach — this one’s more low-key but just as tasty. The super deluxe burrito with red sauce is a monster. You can tell they’ve got regulars who come every day. Service is no-fuss and quick. Perfect lunch spot that never disappoints. Cheap eats done right.“

“We thought this was just another boring Mexican restaurant — WRONG!! We thought the food was going to be average, or worse, underwhelming… once again WRONG.

I might need to raise my criteria for 5 stars, because this place checked all the boxes and then some.

Our waitress was attentive, bubbly, and very knowledgeable, which makes an average meal way more appealing… but in this case, the food needed no help. The items we selected were exquisite, tantalizing, and just downright 🔥!

Simple Breakdown of Meal:
• Chips and guac with the mushroom choriqueso, that's a 5-star treat in itself.
• Pulpo al Pastor (octopus)… my wife said it's 🔥🔥… I wasn't brave enough to try it, but it looked amazing for the 'gram.
• Tacos de Pescado: exquisite and magnifique (I'm sure I butchered that word… but you get the drift).

And to wrap it up and put a bow on it, the atmosphere and artwork bring the whole experience together beautifully.

I've never been so excited to be wrong about a Mexican restaurant.“

“Barsha is the perfect place to enjoy wine in South bay. The wine selection is unique and reasonably priced, and the staff is exceptional. We had a cheese board with a variety of dips and baguette, all of which paired perfectly with the wine.“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“Cafe Wild was a great find! Delicious food, generous portions and a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“10/10 would come back here again for their late night happy hour which starts at 9PM, and it was on a SATURDAY. Their artichoke dip was so tasty, creamy, and had a slight spicy kick! The spring break cocktail was perrrrfectly balanced and tasted amazing. Waitress was super sweet, can't remember her name. Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“Outstanding food and service! The overall vibe is great!“

“Great food, reasonably priced drinks and great servers!“

“What a great place! We picked up family at LAX and wanted to grab a bite somewhere close to the beach. After watching the sunset we found Beach Pizza! Great crew here and the thin crust pizza was phenomenal! We had a large sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, and onion, with pepperoncinis. Great pizza, great atmosphere! So happy to have found this place. Great job, BP!! 🍕“

“Had the best experience here. Great food, a view of the ocean, and amazing service. We came with our toddler and Alex was so wonderful and kind. Immediately brought him food and made sure we had a great time. Thank you, Alex!! Can’t wait to come back.“

“Very good italian food. The Osso Buco was really fantastic“

“Great spot to have a quick bite, next to the mall. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food is good, the price is right. Lots of parking in the parking garage. The restroom facilities are clean, and the staff is always keeping the tables clean.“

“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 food,service and prices“

“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.“

“Nice and clean inside of restaurant and easy to order and the food comes out quickly( but good quality!). I had ‘Kimchi Bulgogi Rice’ because it’s one of my comfort food, it was so more delicious than what I had in Korea!!!
Definitely worth going back and trying other dishes again!“

“During my stay at the Belamar Hotel, I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant on the second floor. Before I checked in, I needed a place to work remotely, and the staff went above and beyond to help me connect to the Wi-Fi. They were incredibly attentive, making sure my coffee cup was always full. I ordered waffles and eggs—both were delicious, though I only managed to snap a photo of the waffles! A unique touch was the check, which is presented inside a book where guests are encouraged to leave a note. Overall, it’s a charming spot for both work and a great meal.“

“Pizza made east coast style! First pizza I have had here that reminded me of the pizza I get from my favorites in NY, NJ and Philly. Thin crispy crust perfection and just the right amount of cheese. I am so glad we stopped here. I will be back.“
