50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Occidental

“Great food and lots of it. It’s all good but my favorite is minestrone. Filled with veggies in a wonderful tomato broth. I always get at least one quart to go to eat throughout the week. Don’t forget the cookies“

“Everything on the menu is delicious 😋“

“Authentic Italian just like my grandma used to make 💗“

“I was initially dismayed to be seated in the front area near kitchen noise. But my wife enjoys viewing “the action” so I relented. Our charming, knowledgeable server Michael guided us through the menu which is not extensive but has something for everyone, I should think. Food was fantastic. Hamachi crudo is a particular standout - which is saying a lot because everything was absolutely delicious (oysters, corn soup, halibut and the chef's signature pasta with the house made sausage). Deserts are the only area where they're trying too hard and could be simplified. Overall, Terrapin Creek Cafe is one the very best wine country restaurants.“

“I had not had such a good pizza in years! I am Italian and can honestly say that their Margherita is as good or better as any I ever had! I waited 28 years for this. We really needed it in West Sonoma county !“

“This place is so good! Waiting in line is worth it. I don’t even love scones but everything I tried here was life changing. The cheese bread was warm and melty. The baked goods + the garden + the wind chimes + the sunshine healed me. I will come back“

“The ultimate delicious food exists in a quiet corner. I think no one would refuse to have dinner with the family in such a quiet environment.🥰“

“It’s Sooo Good.., I don’t want to Share This! Please Keep this Secret 🤫“

“Sourdough bread bowl was excellent! Fish taco were gluten & dairy free... loaded with fish & fresh toppings! Very hearty servings!“

“Always one of our favorite places to eat fish and chips! Fresh, delicious and plentiful!!!!“

“Amazing, thoughtful, made with love, authentic food with an East Coast flare! I loved all of the wood fired pizza that I tried and the cannoli was excellent. MUST TRY - The Grandma and The Brooklyn. Not to mention this business is family owned and run. Can't wait to return ASAP.“

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!“

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.“

“Phenomenal setting in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Stick with the Pinots. Will be back (tomorrow).“

“We stopped by here for the first time and their food wowed us. It was delicious, and the service/atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back.“

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner with eight people and our pup on the patio at Sweet T's. Our server Austin was fabulous and we had a lot of odd orders! She never balked and everything went swimmingly. As always, the portions were generous and tasty. A great place for families with hearty appetites!“

“I wish I had pictures. The perfect burrito is all I can say. Been eating here for years and it’s never missed. I literally can’t drive through town without eating here if it’s open.“

“Came here for a Chamber mixer as it's one of my favorite wineries in the world. So many great childhood memories of Korbel. The tours are fantastic. The winery is down to earth. The redwoods are magical. The view of the vineyards spectacular. Delicious deli food. I don't even drink wine and just love coming here for all the other wonderful things this historic winery has to offer! 💕“

“Tiny restaurant making big waves!

Never have I ever tried food or wine from Georgia, but I’ve been converted to a regular. The food is super simple, but make no mistake the dishes coming out of this kitchen are packed with flavor and done up. I tried dumplings, sautéed mushrooms, and a wrap. Every dish was like exploring a different part of Georgia and with each bite I got to see this cuisine is about transforming simple ingredients. I’d happily re-order everything I tried!

Georgian wine is unique unto itself. From what I understand the wine is made using a very old method of burying clay pots. There isn’t much processing or filtering, so the end product is very viscous. I enjoyed it, especially as a first time experience, but I don’t think it’s for me.

The restaurant itself has a warm, quant feel. The staff were extremely inviting and happy to explain the menu as well as the wine.

If you’re curious about trying Georgian food or just happen to want a great meal in Sebastopol then try Piala!“

“What do you get when you cross a mathematician with a grape? Perfect wine! Moshin wine shines with small volume meticulously crafted slow aged harvests. We were lucky to satiate our palates with phenomenal wines and spend our time with our host and wine docent Robin Froman. She is an amazing documentarian of this estate, its wine and wine educator. It wasn’t hard to choose to purchase wines. All around 5-star experience.“

“My boyfriend and I made a reservation after I’d driven by and seen that they specialize in sparkling wines, and we are so glad we did. We loved getting to speak with Randy, the winemaker and owner, as he walked us through the wines that he clearly put so much love and care into. It’s obvious he only wants to make wines that he himself would drink (hence all of his wines being organic!) and that passion is infectious. Would 10,000% recommend if you want an intimate experience of the kind of people who make Sonoma Valley wine so great.“

“My new favorite spot. Cracklin chicken best thing ever. Service and decor blew my mind. The atmosphere is warm and friendly.“

“Amazing delicious food and kind hearted family ♥️ I was surprised as how good their breakfast burrito was 😍😍😍“

“full of love, great wine delicious oysters and amazing people 5/5“

“I wish I could remember the name of our host, because he was great, and knowledgeable especially for someone his age. Early 20s, from Santa Rosa, dark hair. He made the tasting extra fun by humoring two middle age ladies, and was happy to take some unique photos. We really appreciated the hospitality and had a blast.“

“First time eating here! Good, healthy breakfast. Atmosphere and restaurant very nice. Servers on point and friendly!! We will return!“

“Hey y'all want to enjoy some yummy eats? Check out The Farmers Wife at the Barlow in Sebastopol and Farmers market... Saturdays in San Francisco at the Ferry Building Sundays in Marin at the Civic Center“

“One of my favorite all time places!! The food is spectacular - fresh and always so tasty and flavorful!! Fresh seafood, juicy burgers, and the best French fries in the ENTIRE world!! (And all 3 dipping sauces are the bomb! )“

“Great food. Attentive staff. Nice atmosphere. Our go to sushi restaurant in North Sonoma County. We’ve been to many others and now just go here.“

“always awesome diverse beer selection all on big screen …recommend the pretzels and beef chipotle street tacos“

“So unfortunately we couldn’t go, they were booked. However, they were the NICEST people, gave us some great recommendations. We got a tiny pour of something very good while they made some reservations for us. They have a beautiful view and we’d love to try them next time we’re up that way. I just wanted to take a moment to express our group’s appreciation for their excellent care of not-quite-customers.“

“They have several vegan options. Very good. Thank you“

“Great place. We loved everything about it. Service is excellent. Proportions are huge. I ordered breakfast. It’s not on the menus. Owner recommended.2 eggs, beans, rice. Cheese and chicken.Covered in green sauce on 1/2 plate the other half is covered with red sauce.Fresh good food.“

“This small bistro never disappoints. It's local, and the food is always delicious. You are definitely full when you leave, so servings are plentiful. We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary, and just happened to mention it when we were getting ready to leave. Our server brought us both a pour of prosecco to celebrate. It was a very kind gesture. This place is one of our favorite places to go.“

“Great latte! I had the challah French toast which comes with vanilla ice cream butter and real maple syrup. So good and enough to have leftovers. Hubby had baked eggs with black forest ham. Food was great, good service and charming off beat vibe with an eclectic mix of people enjoying a convivial mood.“

“exquisite grounds and excellent service from Leo. be sure to ask him for wine pairing advice. he really knows his stuff and explains all his choices.
The wines were very good. the reserve Chardonnay is a good choice even if you are not a white wine drinker“

“We were visiting California but were concerned about stopping at a vineyard with a 13 yo and 11 yo twin children in tow. This was the perfect place. Relaxed atmosphere with nice wines and the kids were completely fine (big sigh of relief)! Highly recommend for adults wanting to experience a bit of California’s wine country and a reprieve from all the kid oriented activities.“

“Such a local treasure! The food is of the highest quality, the atmosphere is welcoming and even the takeout experience is painless, they know how to run a restaurant. I highly recommend the chicken on a hot tin roof burrito with extra greens :)“

“Wonderful breakfast with attentive, lovely staff! ❤️“

“Having traveled to India and Nepal, I can confidently say this is great Nepal/Indian food! It has the traditional foods you will recognize like tikka masala and biryani and all of it is good! We have taken many people out to this restaurant and everyone enjoys it. Highly recommend!“
