50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Monterey

“Took a couple of dates here. The atrium is just beautiful and the food was amazing as always. Top notch in every way!“

“Oh Alvarado Street Brewery, I love you. This is my favorite brewery at the moment, I enjoy most of their beer offerings. The patio out back is nice and they have a TV with the game on but it can be difficult to get a spot. The wait isn't completely terrible, for dinner we managed to get seated fairly quickly and for lunch we sat at the bar. I had their beet salad and split a pizza with my brother. The beet salad was great and the pizza was OK. For dinner it was packed and a little loud so it was kind of difficult to talk. We ended up coming back the next day after golf for some beers and their burger which was delicious. Great spot if you enjoy their beers.“

“Amazing fresh food and super friendly staff. Lots of locals here which is a good sign when traveling, they know what’s around and chose this. Couldn’t have been happier! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Such good crepes, definitely recommend! Workers are kind and friendly. Quick service:)“

“We dined here recently and had a very different experience.

Pricing felt consistent with Monterey sushi restaurants (around $3.50 per nigiri), and our food was fresh and well-prepared. As with any restaurant, experiences can vary, but we enjoyed our meal“

“Our server was very friendly and efficient. All of our dishes, Caesar salad, grill prawns, spaghetti w/meatballs and garlic bread were hot and tasty! Have been many times and will definitely be back .“

“Great place for quick lunch“

“Delicious food! impeccable service!!!“

“We love Cafe Fina and always try to dine there when in Monterey. Great food, cocktails and good wine selection. We recently had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal luncheon there and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, amazing food and drinks. We highly recommend this fine restaurant while visiting Monterey. Cozy, warm and friendly staff too!“

“This place will be a must stop every time we come back to Monterey. We found it just by random google search and I’m so glad we did. The food was SO GOOD. It’s a chill and more relaxed venue which was exactly what we needed for lunch. The staff were super attentive and frequently checked on us and asked if we needed anything. The murals on the inside were very cool and wish I would’ve taken pictures of them.“

“Bom atendimento, pratos rápidos e bem servidos.“

“Always an awesome meal and amazing atmosphere. Cannot recommend it enough! 💙💯“

“I came to Monterey for a self care day and decided to check out this cute little cafe =) I am happy I stayed through the longer line. I expected that meant good food. And it sure was. I noticed it was a one man show. He was super sweet to gifting us free bakalavas for the wait time. I lovedddddd the walnut and the apple cinnamon. I ended up buying 20 pieces for my drive home! I got the falafel and baba plate with the spicy lemonade. It was super tasty. What I love about his one man show, is the dedication to this place, his love of food. It is not your typical fast food culture, it is a come sit, talk, stay awhile, enjoy this food and good company kind of vibe.“

“Great service and food…. The hostess served us and she rocked it. Great time. Will come back!“

“Good food hood service. ✅✅“

“Our family ate at Duffy’s Tavern & Family Restaurant and we were blown away. The burgers and fries were absolutely delicious, and the beer was cold, fresh, and exactly what we were hoping for.

The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and the whole place had a relaxed, comfortable vibe. Best of all, when the bill came, it was about half of what you’d expect to pay at a comparable restaurant for the same quality of food and experience.

It’s just a bit off the beaten path, which we actually loved — we were able to park right out front with no hassle. We highly recommend Duffy’s to families and to anyone who appreciates a good burger and a great beer.“

“I’ll offer a better than expected review. Our party of five went for Sunday brunch. 1/2 wait for an outdoor table. Excellent Southwest eggs Benedict; chicken fettuccini; fruit salad and Cinnamon toast special with eggs. Chocolate Oreo cake for dessert. Excellent service for a relaxing Sunday. Glad to return and recommend. Cheers!“

“Beautiful spot, quaint and cozy, generous portions, expertly executed.“

“Great way to start a retirement in this beautiful setting! Great wine and food- the views equally as amazing!“

“Awesome vibe, great wine and extremely welcoming. You can create your own flight...Cheers.“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“My aunt and uncle own this spot, and let me tell you they didn’t just open a sandwich shop, they opened a hug in food form. The sandwiches are stacked, the flavors hit just right, and everything feels like it was made by people who genuinely care (because, well, they do). It’s the kind of place where you leave full, happy, and lowkey wondering if you can be adopted into the family. Monterey, you’re lucky. Real lucky.“

“Awesomeness overload great pies“

“best tacos for miles! thank you for being delicious!“

“Delicioso 🤤 cuando lo disfrutes con las personas adecuadas para ti 🥰🥰🥰“

“Legitimately one of the best customer service experiences I've had. Our server was fantastic! She was very helpful and nice, and you could tell she genuinely liked her job and it wasn't an act.

Food was also fantastic! A little greasy, but very good! I would definitely return!“

“Atmosphere: 10/10 - service was amazing and food was tasty. I had the fish and chips and my partner had the burger. The cod was very flaky and cooked just right. My partners burger was delicious and bigger than we expected. We will definitely be back when we’re in town again and would recommend!“

“We have been going to Heirloom Pizza a few times a year for a while now and have always enjoyed great food and good service. This was until last night. The food was still delicious and the server was good. That was the limit of a good experience. The hostess had a look that we were bothering her by wanting to eat there. We arrived about 7pm and they were busy, but it only took about 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered fairly quickly and then waited for over 50 minutes to have an appetizer to reach our table and another 25 minutes for our main dish. By the time we received our appetizer the restaurant had only 5-6 tables with people still sitting. We understand that it takes a little longer for a deep dish pizza, but well over an hour in unacceptable. In the 50 minutes we saw no less than a dozen or so orders go out the door for pickup orders. I understand they sell pizza and there is likely a large amount of business that doesn't come an stay to eat, but we felt forgotten. If we choose to go back, maybe we should order before arriving.“

“From start to finish. Welcome to departure and everything in between what a meal. Perfection in plate presentation, temperature and oh my Lord the flavors. This is Monterey County’s very best restaurant. Service is also excellent since ownership duo lead that effort too. Place was full of very happy customers but is always is. Our #1 choice. Happy New Year!!!! Cheers 🥂“

“I've lived in the area a while now and finally found this great winery tasting room! The staff was super friendly and the wines were very good. I especially liked the Pinot Noir, I have a weakness for a good Central Coast Pinot! I also enjoyed the Grenache and Barbera. We tried a charcuterie board which paired very well with the wine, the spiced pecans were amazing. We will be back!“

“While in Monterey I was craving pizza. Looked up reviews. Came across Gianni's. Right when I walked in a felt the 1974 vibes. It felt special. Ordered a Medium Gianni's Special and a Meatball sandwich. Belissimo! They were divine. So crispy, light, and my taste buds were lit up! So excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love this place... simply the best!“

“Gloria the owner was such a breath of fresh air in the world today! Her restaurant feels like a cozy welcoming home.

The gyro sandwiches were so delicious. I highly recommend the hummus/babaganoush 10/10!!! Turkish coffee was a unique experience. We also enjoyed a fun game of mancala!

If you’re looking for a place that values community, delicious food, and supporting Palestine this is your place!“

“Great service and excellent food! Right on the water“

“Went here after work with some colleagues. The food and service were excellent. The selection between classic and specialty rolls didn't leave anything out - plenty of raw, baked and tempura rolls. Next time I visit Monterey I will stop here for lunch or dinner! The owners were also very kind and enthusiastic about their food and very welcoming. Great experience“

“Edward really took care of us, tasty we took two home with us.“

“Stopped in for lunch as we were walking around the downtown area. Clean, aesthetic atmosphere. Incredibly delicious burgers. Everyone in our party of six chose a different option. I had the Sur mushroom burger, absolutely delicious. Another in our party got the Phoenix Chicken Sandwich, incredibly spicy and yummy with a family recipe of hot coleslaw that was amazing, but definitely not for an amateur palette. Be prepared for the level of heat lol. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend for a great family lunch spot.The fries and mozzarella sticks were so delicious as well.“

“Took some friends here for a wine tasting, the woman servicing us was so informative even though we knew absolutely nothing about wine. Even taught us some tricks on smelling both ends of the glass! I wish I could get the membership since all the wines were lush“

“The pretzels are a must-try! They're freshly baked, piping hot, and have a delightful crispiness at the base.

I opted for the classic pretzel with garlic seasoning and added eight mini hot dogs for an extra savoury bite. The hot dogs, mustard, and ketchup were a delicious combination. The mini sausages are likely wrapped in pretzel dough, giving them a satisfying texture that's perfect for on-the-go eating.

While the pretzels & mini dogs are a bit greasy for my taste, they're a comforting and warming snack on a chilly day. The combination of flavours and textures is quite satisfying.“

“Spectacular pizza; super kind and thoughtful service! Our pizza was delicious, clearly made with care, generous on toppings, and arrived on time (we ordered for delivery). They saw we were staying at a hotel and even included plates and more red pepper flakes and parm than we could ever use! Thank you for such a great meal and attention to detail, we'll absolutely order again next time we're in town!!“

“Our first visit to Lalla Grill Del Monte and it was fabulous! The food was delicious. Our waiter Tino was friendly, professional, and on top of everything. Later we went to the bar. It was fully stocked and the bartender, Rae, was the bomb! Worth a visit if you are in the area! Highly recommend.“

“Delicious Traditional but memorable dishes stop by for lunch if you're in the area.“

“Great food and service. Will definitely visit again when in the area.“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“Nothing fussy, just real food for real people. No Paleo adjacent avocado quinoa salads.
Cozy, pleasant. Kind of on the small side, which is good for me. Quiet, too.
The waitress was really nice, food came out quickly, and it was hot.
Only issue is, the fried potatoes aren't deep fried. So, know that if you want crispy potatoes, get the hash browns.“
