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.“

“First time here. Aside from its being loud - first impression - and it was - we were impressed as each dish came out. Remarkably good and satisfying food. From a classic margarita pizza to the flavourful gnocchi and beef cheek, the food was as interesting as it was delicious.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Locals hangout. Locals often avoid the touristy trendy restaurants, buit love to meet and hang out at this super fun dive bar. Recommended by a local.

The food (burger, chips & beer) was good. A nice selection of beers on tap and by the bottle. Watch sports, play pool/billiards, hang out with friends, have a PTA meeting,etc.

As we were leaving, the local ladies, all meeting together Sunday night, were super friendly and waved hello/goodbye. Fun place.“

“Great restaurant with nice view and awesome vibe.

Located near Manhattan Beach Pier. It has indoor seating with large open windows to get that fresh ocean breeze. Service is warm and friendly.
Although it's a brewery and has multiple screens with different sports playing, they serve more than just pub food. Their menu offers lots of yummy options. Also note they have a good happy hour menu.

The grilled citrus salmon was excellent with just the right amount of crust. Not overcooked. It comes with salad and rice.

The spicy Chipotle chicken pasta was very flavorful. I really enjoyed it and world order it again next time.

The churro bites comes drizzled with caramel. It's warm and fluffy and it's gluten free. Definitely enjoyed it.

Prices are reasonable, portions are adequate.

Parking is a bit challenging in the area. If you can't find street meter parking, go to the underground structure or near city hall parking.

Reservations are recommended especially on weekends or if there's a sports event.“

“Been coming to North End since 2010. Best gem of the south bay. Some favorites from the lunch menu are the Manhattan, el guapo, Alicia, bolsa chica. The cobb salad. We also get fuego burger or the Jimmy salad. Get the breakfast potatoes too. Pretty awesome place and is right by the strand. My order lately is Bolsa Chica sandwich or old Cobb salad.“

“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.“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“Food was ok, but I just had bacon & eggs. Server was fast & pleasant. But the ambiance was the best part. They have outdoor & indoor seating with the indoor seating being a little more elegant like an old time pub. It wasn't too busy around 7:30 AM in a unusually warm Saturday at the end of February, but got busier as I was finishing & there was a line of people waiting by 10:30 or so. I went here because this was a very popular restaurant during the late 80s & 90s, open 24/7 like The Pantry, but with beach culture. That vibe seems to be there still & it's very popular with locals.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We recently visited to celebrate our anniversary. While we were disappointed to find that some items listed on the website menu had been removed, we had an overall satisfying experience.

The Pan Seared Aegean Branzino, Crab Cakes, and Lychee Rose Cake were all amazing. We found the King Crab-Stuffed Shrimp to be just okay, and likely wouldn't order it again. The cocktails were mixed well and tasted refreshing

The ambiance was perfect for the occasion and the staff were very friendly. A pleasant evening.“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“They have the most authentic crepe I’ve had in the states!! The owner is a nice young French gentleman, and his staff are the sweetest!
I work near by and I’m there pretty much daily, bad for the calories but good for the heart haha❤️“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Got off the airplane and came straight here! Sushi was soooo good, costumer service was great 👍🏼 it was tight seating but we loved it felt like a scene in a movie where everyone around us was talking but we were just in our own little bubble 🍣“

“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! 😬❤️😬“

“Eat here. Do it and thank me later. The owner/chef was so lovely - I called over about a food allergy and she texted me a follow up. That level of thoughtfulness is nearly unheard of in food service these days. As the other reviews state the food is phenomenal, served HOT, and is inventive, thoughtfully prepared, and comforting.“

“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.“

“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 prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“There is nothing better than el Tarasco, rosecrans Manhattan beach. I come back to socal twice a year to visit family and we never go back without stopping here. The chicken (hard shell fried) taco is the best in the world... make sure to order a side of guacamole, their habenero salsa and cheese quesadilla. If u want to branch out carne asada tacos or the junior burrito deluxe.. ,ant go wrong. Sitting at bar stools 300 feet from the beach at a genuine taco stand that's out of this world checks all the boxes. Bring your appetite morning or late night.“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“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.“

“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“

“Great place for happy hour. There is plenty of bar, outdoor, and indoor seating. The staff was very polite and attentive. The quality of the food is good, although we tried a few items. The bathrooms were maintained cleaned. Definitely a place to visit.“

“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.“

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

“Great food and wine and amazing host!“

“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.“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“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!! 🍕“

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

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

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

“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.“

“One of the best breakfast options in Manhattan Beach, and one of my favorites in South Bay in general. It’s in between a traditional breakfast restaurant and a diner, and some things I love about it are it has friendly and quick service, a giant menu, and great food. Inside is pretty large so it can host many different sized groups, and has booth and table seating. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, we found a metered street spot a block away, but you may have to circle a few times before finding a spot.

For this visit, I chose the Crab & Avocado Benedict because those are two of my two favorite things combined, so it was a no-brainer to order. The crab was very tasty and the hollandaise was made perfectly and overall it was a great dish. I also ordered a side of fruit and they really did not skimp on the fruit quality, they gave me banana, watermelon, grapes, and didn’t just throw the melon and cantaloupe at me.

Overall, a great breakfast option and I plan to be back many times in the future.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

“We were a party of 6 and a large booth lent room for all of us. Wait staff brought beverages, menus and stated the specials.

After placing our orders, from kitchen to table was a very reasonable time of 5 to 10 minutes.

Food was served in large ceramic baskets lined with food service paper. The paper in the baskets gave it an old fashioned kind of vibe.

The basket of fries was hot, crispy and perfectly seasoned.

I ordered the Hula Burger that was topped with two generous pineapple rings and teriyaki sauce that made the burger pop!

A pal ordered a Cobb Salad with bacon bits on the side and Balsamic vinegar dressing, hold the Blue Cheese please.

Another guest ordered the grilled cheese, toasted and real cheddar cheese! It came with a side of fries.

Ample room for customers but not great for larger parties. I only noticed booths that can handle 6 guests comfortably. Large screen TV’s to catch the game!

There is a full service bar that carries a selection of Domestic and Imported beers both in bottles and on tap. There was also an array of spirits including wine and mixed drinks.

This location is in the Manhattan Beach Mall on the outside of the mall with access to the mall through a side entrance. Good for walking off all those delicious calories!

Wait staff were friendly and attentive!“

“We stayed at the hotel and had dinner and breakfast here, with a 2 year old.

The service was amazing. Lupe and Andrea were some of the best servers we've had. They cared for my daughter and even had the kitchen make off menu items for her.“
