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 💗“

“Quaint, cozy and clean restaurant. Food offerings/menu choices were excellent. Flavor of crab cake, duck and wagu beef dishes were superb. Bread pudding and chocolate cake was a disappointment. Service was a little melancholy. Made a reservation for 2 celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary (noted in the reservation). The person seating us first offered us a table for 4 that was in way of the front door. Possibly saw our reluctance, proceeded to offer us a small table for 2 in a corner, which was a lot better. Overall great experience.“

“First impressions matter! I walked in and was greeted by friendly staff…and it was air conditioned! It’s been over 100 degrees all week here at the river! Located on tue Main Street in town. Real dishes, delicious vegan options - many of them!“

“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 !“

“OMG there's a reason that there's a line and it's worth the wait. The line moves quickly and you get wonderful bakery smells while waiting. You can take your treat and/or coffee and enjoy it in the garden out back. The lemon scones and cinnamon roll are to die for.“

“We had a vineyard tour yesterday as well as wine tasting.Dustin Coupe was our coordinator/tour guide. The whole experience was phenomenol. It felt very intimate, fun, and yet informative. We loved our experience & we will definitely go back to the winery. He made the experience so amazing. 5 stars all the way!“

“We arrived in Sebastopol late and found Piala when we were looking for places that would be open past 9. We are SO glad we did! We had an incredible time. From the amazing food to wonderful conversation with the very friendly and generous owner to the awesome playlist. It was a meal we will remember! (See the delicious pistachio honey cake I enjoyed for dessert). Run don’t walk!“

“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.🥰“

“The Best lamb gyros we ever had! and we have tried several places. Gyros were very fresh. Will certainly now make this a frequent stop. Great prices & good size portions. Can't wait till summer to sit outdoors. More than a 5 rating.“

“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).“

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“Went here today with a group of 7. Couldn’t have been better honestly. Ellyn, was an amazing host. Met us at the door and waved as we were driving away. Engaging, funny, and professional. The wines across the board were impressive. Really liked the width of styles in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Don’t miss it. Views are beautiful as well.“

“fantastic wines and hands down the best steak ever!“

“Great experience booking through OpenTable. The staff knew we were coming, and were familiar with the app. They got us a booth right by the kitchen, and it was a really nice, isolated location. The food was outstanding as always. The pork sausage is more accurately chorizo, so if you order it, know what to expect. The brisket melts in your mouth, and the mac and cheese was good. Highly recommend Sweet T's for a quick date night!“

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!“

“I loved absolutely every single thing about this place! The welcoming, bright, beautiful space, the staff, the incredibly imaginative food (pussy willow pistachio, mochi donuts?!!!) , the elixirs and the vibe. I can't wait for my next trip to Sebastopol!“

“Huria's did an amazing job catering for our wedding welcome party! Not only was the food absolutely delicious and had something for everyone but the presentation and atmosphere they helped create was so inviting and friendly. Communication with them was punctual, efficient and easy which was important considering my wife and I planned our own wedding. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! Would enthusiastically recommend for any event where you're looking for fantastic food presented with charm and kindness.“

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

“Willow Wood always delivers. It's hard for me not to order the vegetable ragout with polenta or the chicken, Jarlsberg, and pasilla pepper sandwich because they are so good, but every time I branch out I'm equally wowed. Casual, unpretentious, and super yummy. You can't go wrong!“

“Everything you want in a meal, very accommodating to all dietary restrictions- loved the bright open concept of the place and the chef and his partner clearly pour all of their love into this food and it shows. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Just the cutest place - brought out dog beds for both our dogs. The barkuterie boards also v cute as are the various dog toys. Surprisingly, the wine is also really solid. Overall, a place that we've been going to much more often than I expected.“

“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 :)“

“Fabulous experience! Love the wines and the variety of different grapes. They have reds, whites and bubbly. Their wines can be drunk right away or you can hold on to them for later enjoyment. Definitely recommend Harvest Moon Winery! Enjoy! Cheers!“

“THE BEST! Started with the tasting, our host was very sweet and gave us great tip throughout our tasting experience. Lovely views. Didn’t get to go on the tour because it got booked quickly.

“A place you want to come back to forever.

What a hidden gem! This cozy winery offers something special almost every Friday, whether it's live music or comedy—they always have a fun event happening.

The atmosphere is so inviting, it's the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again. The staff is incredibly accommodating and provides a truly personal experience.

And the wines... So light... So smooth you could and can drink them all day. The Pinot Noir's are simply perfect and should be sampled if you are on the fence about what to get.“

“Best Mexican Food in Town and very fair prices. Excellent customer service.“

“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“

“We didn't have reservations (Friday around 4pm) and it was later in the day so we weren't sure what to expect. Then, Jason stole our hearts! We were greeted warmly, and felt immediately welcomed and at home. Jason was very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we got a couple of splashes before we committed to a glass for purchase. Jason gave us additional recommendations for spots in the area, which helped us get in to two locations we might have otherwise had trouble making appointments at. Came to try the wine; stayed for Jason! Thank you!“

“We LOVE Golden State Cider! Emma’s Thursday night trivia is why we keep coming back (aside from the fact that the drinks are delicious). She livens this place up, brings a crowd, & makes it worth a fun evening out spent on drinks & shenanigans!

But let’s be real - you can buy GSC in the local grocery stores. It’s the crew at GSC that make this place so special and why my husband, myself, & friends make time to go there in person on a weekly basis (if not more…)

Michelle is beyond amazing! Always friendly and such an amazing soul! Stephanie too! And a shout out to the rest of the crew who we see outside of Thursday night trivia. You guys are amazing & we are so thankful for you!!“
