50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Montecito

“We chose Caruso's for a special anniversary dinner and it met all of our expectations. The service, the food and the atmosphere were simply wonderful. It is pricey but worth the money for an extraordinary dining experience. We also very much enjoyed the piano music which was introduced the night we attended. It added greatly to the atmosphere.“

“Excellent wine tasting experience, lots of history . The wine consultant was very friendly. I will come again and reccomend.“

“We head to Lucky's every time we are in Montecito, it is our go to place. But as with all restaurants, so much of your own enjoyment depends on the behavior of strangers. Our drinks were delightful, the food was delicious, but the nearby table of loud tech bros braying about their lives was hard to tune out. So yes, it can be noisy inside.“

“I wish I could give 10 stars! Starting with the Host - so good, so professional, perfectly dressed... made me feel like a celebrity. Wait staff provided the perfect amount of attention. They even made us a special dish not on the menu. Atmosphere- I felt like I was in my best friends kitchen but at the same time looking around the room feeling like I might not be cool enough to be here!“

“China Palace is a longstanding venue in lower village Montecito, around the corner from the Vons shopping center and nextdoor Starbucks. They serve conventional Chinese food in their small dining room and street-facing patio. The food is comforting and tasty if not imaginative or special, and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive.“

“Good Food - especially the Paella“

“Nice bar ( take any seat ) order at the counter. Good vibes from the live DJ on the board walk. Delicious Sprizz!“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

“Our server,Cole R, was awesome-very informed and articulate. Food was amazing-cannot overstate the incredible preparation and presentation of the prime rib!“

“good portions in the tacos. very tasty and fast service. the line seems overwhelming at first but moves fast. Will definitely be back, when in the area.“

“Very friendly service.
Food was very good, but not the best Indian food we've ever had. But yes: we are demanding and, as we all know, tastes differ. The butter chicken was too mild for our taste. Actually practically zero sharpness.
Lassi is super delicious, as is the samosa - a dream.“

“Maiz Picante catered our wedding recently and did a phenomenal job! Not only were they professional, but the food was outstanding. We got nonstop praises about the food and service. I will definitely be using them again when we have another event. Otherwise, I try and support them whenever we are in town. They are friendly, professional, and know their food!“

“This place is great! My non-vegan family members loved it, too! Delicious desserts, also! Definitely recommend!“

“The pan-seared peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and sautéed asparagus were as good as I've had anywhere. Thick, small and perfectly cooked medium-rare. And the thinly-sliced tomato salad was the perfect starter. We brought our own wine, but their in-house selection is outstanding. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful. Our waiter, Dominic, was professional and attentive, and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a two and a half hour anniversary dinner in a lovely outdoor setting and will definitely revisit when we're back in Santa Barbara! Thanks to everyone at Bouchon for a very special evening.“

“EVERYTHING!!!! Amazing food, super amazing staff, clean….and ABSOLUTELY delicious!!!! 🤗“

“Ensaladas y mariscos en realidad todo está riquísimo“

“This restaurant offers a huge variety of drinks and food. The drinks are well prepared. The food is delicious and presented in a delicate manner. We had the Peruvian ceviche served with banana chips and the Spanish potatoes. The Peruvian Ceviche was prepared very well!“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. Will return again.“

“Best tacos ever! Great variety“

“Good food 👍 Great service!“

“This was an experience of a lifetime. Everything was amazing and I couldn’t recommend it more. Cheers“

“Stopped to charge the car nearby and had lunch. Food was fantastic! Highly recommend the meatloaf and double toad in the hole! Hash browns were crispy and buttery. Will be back when we’re in town next! ❤️“

“Everything I’ve tried on the menu is outstanding. Fresh ingredients and creative combinations of flavors, herbs, spices. They make their tacos on site, and all portions are substantial. I love the al pastor tacos with chunks of pineapple on top. The Colima ceviche is sublime perfection, and the plátanos are the perfect sweet compliment. The mango margarita with tajin on the rim was delicious.“

“Great food and service. Beautiful location.“

“good Mexican food.. burrito's n tacos off the chain!!!“

“Awesome meal with the finest ingredients! Romantic evening with the wife.“

“Food and service were great, but the atmosphere would have been a lot better if the tables were at least 6" larger and didn't have people standing at window counter within arms reach, while wait staff negotiates access in the in- between space.

Parking: Parking was very scarce, but were lucky to take a space in the alley as someone was vacating it.“

“One of the best lunches we’ve ever had! This place is a very happy surprise. My husband and I shared the crispy chicken sandwich and macho salad. Both choices were fantastic.

The chicken sandwich was very well balanced. The bread was very light and didn’t overwhelm the sandwich and the spicy slaw, Swiss cheese, and tomato complimented the crispy chicken.

The macho salad was very unique with the dates, chicken, goat cheese, avocado, almonds, tomatoes and greens lightly dressed in a vinaigrette and the most amazing corn bread croutons.

We had to finish every last bite even though the portions were generous as it was just too good!“

“Best pretzels in town!!!!“

“Great lunch and very comfortable“

“The food was amazing as was the service. The patio seating was beautiful and dog friendly!! We will definitely be coming back on our next visit!“

“Kim was awesome and so much fun to hang out and chat with! I had some friends visiting from Japan. And luckily, we stumbled into Jamie Slone's for some wine tasting!

The wines smelled great (I no longer drink). But my friends really enjoyed the wine tasting and atmosphere! My friends also took many pictures 😂🙏

We'll definitely be back to visit!

Thanks for the hospitality, Kim!“

“The pasta was amazing and so fresh! The tuna wrapped in prosciutto appetizer was so delicious 😋! You must try it.“

“What a treat! This restaurant was conveniently located near our hotel, and we’re so glad we stopped by. The pistachio-crusted salmon was absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection and now my favorite type of crusted fish!

My husband had the smashburger and really enjoyed it. Just a heads-up: the burger doesn’t come with a side, so be sure to order one.

Their happy hour drinks were fantastic—strong margaritas and great deals! Our waiter was awesome, and the service overall was excellent. Bonus points for being super dog-friendly—they even have a dog menu! Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and atmosphere!“

“Excellent pasta dishes made idividually as ordered. Add or subtract ingredients. Just look up the menu online. Amazing selections, more than any Italian restaurant. Eat out on patio - very casual. They take pride in the preparation. We make it a mandatory visit every trip to Santa Barbara.“

“Food was great! We tried the sweet breads- my favorite, lobster gnocchi-daughters fave, ramen-good, scallops-super lite and fresh, and the catch of the day-very tasty. The amazing menu doesn’t necessarily lend itself to picky kid eaters (my son) but he loved the catch of the day with the sauce on the side. The food took a while as they were pretty busy so the manager comp’d 2 desserts which were both spectacular! We will be back!!“

“Never had tapas like these! Loved it! So sad we live in Europe…would go there everyday! It was soooo jummy!“

“Today's lunch was truly memorable for our family at Cali-Forno Pizzeria. We were fortunate enough to encounter Alberto Diaz, @betodiaz60 the YouTuber who has won us over with his engaging videos. It was truly a pleasure to meet him in person. He truly is committed to providing exceptional service and exceeding customer expectations with his remarkable energy and scrumptious pizza. Cali-Forno Pizzeria.“

“Just to inform you that the name Dutch is the English name for the language and the inhabitants of the Netherlands. They are called the Dutch, and the language spoken is Dutch. There is nothing Dutch about the food. It’s more traditional German food, so maybe rename the restaurant Deutsch.
And the language and culture are not the same.“

“If you are looking for an Amazing And Beautiful event venue for a wedding reception, a birthday party, a bachelorette, or any occasion venue. I Highly Highly recommend State and Fig in Santa Barbara! From planning to execution, Patrick and Serina made my niece’s wedding Perfect! I don’t use Perfect lightly, as I am known to be critical and a perfectionist especially when it comes to events. They made my niece's wedding planning experience so easy, from booking the venue to providing Customized menu options, and ALWAYS received quick responses any time we had questions as well as added personal touches of their own to the wedding. Serina and Patrick were extremely helpful, detailed, and knowledgeable and knew exactly what we wanted and how they could help. On the wedding day, The whole staff was very friendly, attentive, communicative, accommodating, Extremely helpful, and responsive, from assisting with centerpiece decorations, to serving hors d’oeuvres Always with a smile, making sure Each and Every guest was taken care of throughout the night, I was very impressed! Now for the food, EXCEPTIONAL, the taste was phenomenal, the meat was tender, the salmon was cooked perfectly, Nothing was over/undercooked, so delicious and the guests would not stop talking about how good the hors d’oeuvre and main courses were! Thank you, Serina, Patrick, and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make my niece’s wedding day beyond wonderful, and Perfect! We certainly will be back even for a weekend getaway! 😊“

“A great place for celebrating! You always have a great experience at The Palace“

“Such a welcoming tasting room, beautiful space, delicious line-up of Rose, Red and White wines. And all from Santa Barbara County.

Mickey was pouring for all of us, and educating us about those wines all along the way. Was like a Master Class in Wine Tasting. We will definitely be back.“

“Best bands,great people and the best partner“

“If I could give this place more stars I would!
It was eight of us yesterday and we get to try many different tapas and everything was amazingly delicious.
It’s not our first time to dine there and the experience is always more than satisfying.
All and all the food is delicious, service is excellent, super friendly people and a great location!
Highly recommend ?
One more: don’t forget to try their Sama Sama “The Peacock Chardonnay”.“
