44 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Marina Del Rey

“Walking into Old Lightning feels like stepping into Pablo Moix’s private whiskey collection—rare, curated, and full of bottles you’ve only seen in photos. Hidden behind Scopa, the bar features an incredible lineup of high-end spirits: single cask Springbanks, rare Willetts, unique Balvenies, and other bottles you’ll probably never see again. Prices are high (sometimes maybe a bit too high), but you're paying for access to some truly special stuff.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is Oscar. He’s not just pouring drinks—he’s setting the tone for the whole experience. Super knowledgeable, but never pretentious. Inviting, energetic, and clearly passionate about what he does. He listens to what you like, asks the right questions, and then somehow nails exactly what you were in the mood for—whether that’s a rare pour or a killer cocktail you didn’t even know you wanted. His energy really brings the whole vibe together and makes it feel less like a fancy bar and more like a personal tasting experience.

If you're into whiskey or just curious to try something you won’t get anywhere else, it’s definitely worth visiting.“

“A friendly waitresses,waiters .“

“We popped into HiHo on some downtime from working at the SoFi stadium.

The smash burgers were really tasty but the fries were the star of the show.

It was a nice addition to see alcohol being served.

The Aircon could probably do with a service as it was roasting in the seating area and the outside area was full to capacity (which is always a good sign.)

Food is excellent but the atmosphere is very much McDonalds vibe.“

“Good food and good service“

“As a lifelong plant-based eater, I’m always excited to find restaurants that truly understand how to create satisfying vegan cuisine, and Planta Cocina absolutely delivers.

My wife and I had a fantastic dinner here and were impressed by the creativity and flavor of every dish.

We started with the Chicken Fried Mushrooms, which were well seasoned and had an incredible crispy coating. The mushrooms themselves were exactly what you want in a great appetizer.

For mains, we shared the cauliflower wings along with the Al Pastor bowl adding the blackened tofu for protein. The cauliflower wings had tender texture with bold flavors, while the Al Pastor bowl with the blackened tofu was well prepared with a mix of spices that made every bite exciting.

Their mocktail offering is also worth highlighting - we sampled the Cosmic Colada which is a must-try if you enjoy tropical flavors, especially pineapple. It was refreshing.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere welcoming. It’s clear the kitchen understands how to build layers of flavor and create dishes that are satisfying and healthy for you. For fellow plant-based diners or anyone curious about vegan cuisine, this place showcases what’s possible when creativity meets quality ingredients. Definitely planning our next visit soon.“

“Always consistent and always on point with great service keep up the good work and thank you & arigato :)“

“Excellent food. We go there all the time. Traditional Italian fare.“

“Incredible food, wonderful service and the atmosphere was a wow!“

“We had the pleasure eating at Baja Cantina yesterday. Delicious food, we had mushroom tacos, chicken fajitas and watermelon margeritas. The best host David, a gentle giant, softspoken and polite - what a great asset to the Baja Cantina team 👏“

“My husband and I came here on Mother's Day today and got here early enough! Awesome food, Mauro and Todd are the best behind the bar! Have the chicken and French Toast or the Carrot cake pancakes. You will not be disappointed! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰“

“I really love this place. It feels like you’re walking into a special place somewhere in Europe. And it’s tucked away enough to not be super touristy and crowded. The staff always greets us with a smile, and the vibe is just perfection. The indoor area has such a cool atmosphere, and the outdoor tables are on the water. You can NOT go wrong here.“

“All of the food was incredible! However tables were insanely tight but maybe that was just on NYE. We had to literally get up out of chairs to let other people in and out of their tables. When we mentioned it to our server she said “what do you expect with 160 reservations”.. which was awkward. That said, she warmed up throughout the night and you could tell she was just insanely stressed. There was a gentleman who was incredibly helpful wizzing around and welcoming everyone. Overall we'll be back since the food was so good and hopefully we'll see it less sardines-packed“

“Indians right on the way to the pier with nice outdoor seating. Map clear, service friendly and attentive. It was a little cooler in the evening and we had our own heater at the table. Cocktails ? well mixed and round off an evening on site. The food was well seasoned and the size was appropriate for the price/performance ratio. We always find a place and there is always a place to sit for a longer time - check only when asked and not, as is often the case, directly at the table - so this is particularly pleasant for European guests... Parking at the pier is subject to a charge depending on time/day $5-20

Parking: 3min walk from the pier/parking lot. Fees apply. On public holidays it can be crowded in the evenings but never a problem during the week“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“I had to edit this review. I was at the Propagator this past Saturday July 19. I visit at least 2xs a month. Once again the beers, the food and the service were top notch as it always is. Let me give a shout out to another one of me and my friends favorite waitress, LIajayra E. I hope I spelled that right. In the fine tradition of great service Llajayra is just fantastic. Nice, courteous and knows how to take care of her customers. Major props, she represents Firestone Walker well, a definite asset to be sure.“

“I enjoyed the food, decor, and service. If you want a quiet place to dine though, this isn't it..“

“5 stars. Best hand rolled sushi. Great atmosphere and customer service. Beautiful view of the Marina.“

“I tried the big breakfast burrito. Big on flavor, but no so big on size.“

“took a day trip for lunch w/ a friend...

the ½ pound Bacon Cheddar Burger...
all of which were perfect!! more so was the
amazing personable and timely service of
"Nile"... she's the best!! (ask for her)“

“My wife and I have been to a lot of IHOPs in different cities, but this is BY FAR the best in terms of food quality, speed of service, and wonderful management.
This IHOP consistently produces food that is well-seasoned, and never over/under cooked, all while having the food come out at a reasonable pace. We also had the opportunity to host a large event in this IHOP for about 45+ guests. Even with the large headcount, the food was AMAZING and came out so fast. All of our guests told us afterwards they would love to have future events at this IHOP.
We are so thankful for the manager (Marilyn) and our wonderful waiting staff who helped make our event so special and efficient.“

“We come to Enya often, and love the food and vibe. The rolls are creative, the fish always fresh, and the chefs and staff are welcoming and attentive. One of our fave spots in Venice/MDR!“

“The food was amazing. The service was impeccable. We had a great meal. Thank you!“

“Phenomenal Salmon salad and dressing!“

“Authentic, delicious and wonderful. A true Venice beach gem..! Highly recommend this place and will be back 100%! Thank you for the excellent service and stellar food. 🤙🏽“

“Proper old school burger that reminds me of my childhood burgers . Great buns and fresh salad and just delicious“

“Casual dinning atmosphere“

“I got a ticket. Everything was great. They need to validate. No one is looking at the sign entering we’re focusing on the brunch advertising“

“Delicious, Persian food. Generous portions, great service and atmosphere.“

“Very happy! Super good! Started with their flakey Brussels sprouts with a kick. Then did a seafood plate in chili garlic sauce! Everything was so good and the 4 pot of spices and sauces they bring were amazing!“

“As crazy as our Birthday party was, in the bar, our server, Jose, was awesome. There were 2 or 3 other large gatherings at the Marriott hotel, where Singer is, adjacent to the lobby. However, we felt completely cared for. I ordered the classic burger...I am a burger aficionado... It was awesome! I could say that I am ashamed of all the parmesan fries I ate, but nope, not sorry. They were awesome, as well. I don't know if it's a good or bad reality that this place is only a couple miles from my home because...Oh who am I kidding? I would return to this place of great service, atmosphere, fun and food, no matter the distance. Great job Marriott hotel and Sinder restaurant. We will return...often!“

“Burgers are outstanding not to mention those onion rings are a hidden gem“

“I wish there were more seating, but this place was truly delicious. So many things on the menu that I would’ve loved to try. The beef & lamb was AMAZING and the hummus was very good. I wish they’d used traditional feta for the Greek salad but other than that, no notes.“

“I like the place too much.

I consider it to be one of the best in the area.

The place is nice and with a good atmosphere.

The service is good.

The menu is quite varied.
Everything is very delicious and fresh

Crab roll is my favorite.

In relation to price and quality it seems adequate to me.

The only issue is that:
1. You can't make reservations and obviously the place is always full so you have to wait to be served.

The recommendation is not to go very hungry.“

“very good food and the staff very welcoming and professional“

“Tasty good food, great cocktails and the indoor/outdoor dining area has a cool vibe that makes this a great dining experience“
