50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Monterey

“Beautiful atmosphere. Great food, wine, and service! If you love wine, this is the place you want to go.“

“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!!!“

“I came here very hungry and lefy quite satisfied. The owner was very personable, friendly and helpful in choosing from among the many delicious options. I chose a combo plate because i want them all. The chicken was amazing and the gyro was flavorful. The outdoor seating was cramped but the lights added ambiance. This place is worth a try.“

“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.“

“Great view and great service. The fries and the coconut shrimp were phenomenal!“

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

“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!“

“Good food hood service. ✅✅“

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

“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.“

“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.

“Awesomeness overload great pies“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“I love their Combo pizza. 🍕 Great food and service. Keith is the best.“

“We always have a pizza at Gianni's whenever we're in town! Love the veggie pizza and breadsticks😍“

“Immaculate vibes! We stopped in after Christmas and had the pleasure of being served by Kamani. The Dog and Pony rosé was our wine of choice for the night and Kamani was great about checking in on us and making sure we were enjoying the wine. What a wonderful place to enjoy an evening! We’ll be sure to visit again soon.“

“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 🥂“

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

“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 spot the food is good. Fish and chips is solid but could be seasoned more. I also tried their fried chicken salad which is good but I think a better mix of lettuce would have really put that down from good to great. Their sweet potato fries are absolutely delicious. Environment is great and clean, service was perfect.“

“Generally quite good. Atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. Service was quick and accurate.I had the meatball sandwich with sweet potato fries for lunch. Lots of favorable meatballs, cheese and the marinara sauce was interesting without being too hot as many are now. Sweet Potato fries were not overcooked or over salted.

Almost empty for lunch but I expect that they bring in a good dinner crowd with all of the beer selections. I did not try any.

Only two negatives. The iced tea was off. It had a heavy taste as if the water had too many minerals. And the prices are just a bit too high. There are meals as good in the same area for less.

But I will go back. The pleasant, relaxing almost empty atmosphere will sometimes be worth the extra money!“

“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“

“The food, atmosphere and service were among the best I've ever experienced at any restaurant. The quality and presentation of the food was stellar especially considering the reasonable pricing. I can tell the kitchen staff holds themselves to a very high standard. A must visit in Monterey!“

“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.“

“I stopped in around 9 PM and had a great experience. The owner was professional, and they honored the Entertainment coupon without any issues. I loved the atmosphere; it’s a perfect mix of pizza parlor and sports bar. It was clean, comfortable, and ideal for hanging out with friends, catching a game, and enjoying a drink. The separate 21+ bar area was a nice touch, and they even had a play area for kids. Of all the Mountain Mike’s I’ve visited, this location stood out as one of the best. Five stars!“

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

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“Great Wine 🍷 and people..🍾🥂“

“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.“

“In May 2024, I visited Pretzelmaker in 520 Del Monte Center #526, Monterey, CA 93940, the United States of America (USA). The seats were somewhat comfortable in the area. The food was delicious, and the American food and drinks were good. The food, service, and atmosphere were very good. The table did not have enough space to eat and drink.“

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

“Daaaaannnnggg…those handmade tortillas! Pollo or beef tacos, you can’t go wrong.“
