50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

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

“One of our favorite spots in Manhattan Beach! Pasta and pizza are always delicious, the cocktails are amazing, and the service is fantastic. We love that you don’t always need a reservation, so it’s easy to stop by anytime. Perfect for a relaxed date night!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Dan and Ian provided exceptional service. Courtney was great as well. This is legit the best damn bar on this beach. The food is affordable and the drinks are STRONG. It’s rare that you will find customer service this good. Will definitely be back“

“The food and drinks were great and the server was kind. The atmosphere is always on point and provided a Birthday sundae for my husband which was appreciated. Unfortunately the hostess was rude and made the meal extremely awkward for our whole party. Not our usual pleasant Brewco experience, unfortunately. I would hesitate to bring guests here going forward.“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“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!“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“Lugar super agradável com Drinks e comida deliciosa❤️“

“Always lovely and the food is great!“

“This food was delicious and worth every dollar. I got the Crab Melt sandwich with fries and I wish I had been to this place sooner. 10 out of 10. Sevice was great and the atmosphere was great. We were seated immediately. Everyone enjoyed their food. You have to try it!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I usually don't eat outside such in restaurants or bars... this was my first time to try a restaurant and it was Chili's at this location.. clean, great service and food. Thank you!“

“best effin tahc's bruv. fr fr“

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

“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 went to French touch for the first time because my best friend and I were craving crepes and there was this lovely front of house manager Nina and she graced us with such an amazing energy and was very helpful and helping us find a good crepe for me and my best friend and we’re definitely going to come back. The atmosphere was so great and we ended up buying another crepe!!! Just because of how delicious the food was including the quality of the food so I was very happy“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“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“

“Very fresh sushi! We sat at the sushi bar and had a great time. The chili edamame was delicious and every sushi roll that we had was delicately prepared and fresh tasting. If you want the spot at the sushi bar, make sure to arrive right when they open at 5pm!“

“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.“

“Loved everything we tried at Nawa Thai! We got the Tom Kha Gai, drunken noodles, and red curry – all packed with flavor. The Tom Kha was honestly the best I’ve had in the US. Cozy ambience too, perfect for a relaxed meal. Plus, it’s just a short walk to Manhattan Beach afterward. Super convenient with a parking garage right across the street.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Five star experiences ! great food and welcoming environment.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s not fancy, it’s just good food served up fast and hot! Big menu with lots of options. We did a very casual Father’s Day brunch here. Be mindful that parking can be sticky so not there is a lot a block or two, to the North. Also, it can get busy on weekend mornings!
“

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

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“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.“

“Friendly service and good service“

“Johnny Rockets in Manhattan Beach has great burgers and friendly staff in a 1950’s burger joint setting. I usually get the delicious Route 66 mushroom burger and my wife gets the Original. The onion rings are the best I’ve eaten anywhere!“

“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.“

“I rarely eat seafood from unfamiliar spots (yes, I’m a bit of a seafood snob), but Yunagi Kitchen near LAX had great reviews, so I gave it a shot—and I’m glad I did. I’ll definitely be ordering again when I’m in the area.

We tried a variety of rolls, and everything tasted fresh and arrived quickly. But the real standout? The Crunch Roll with real crab. Mind. Blown. I honestly could have ordered four of those and called it a day—absolutely delicious.

Knocking off one star for a small but annoying detail: no sriracha included in the order. I noticed they sell “extra sriracha,” which is fine—I don’t mind paying if needed—but at least give a heads-up that none is included. A little communication would’ve gone a long way.

Still, great sushi and a solid choice near the airport. Highly recommend—just don’t forget to ask for your sauces!“

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

“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!! 🍕“
