50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palm Desert

“Tommy Bahamas hosted my rehearsal dinner for my wedding, a total of 16 adults and 4 children. They went above and beyond. Initially, we were on the outdoor terrace surrounded by other customers. I asked if we could be more secluded since some of the family and guests wanted to say some words. They proceeded to move our entire group to a different section of the terrace for a more private and quiet setting. It was incredibly kind and generous of them to do so. Benjamin, our waiter was also terrific. He was prompt, thorough, and the service we received was unparalleled. The food and drinks, as always, were tremendous, and my wife and I could not be more satisfied. They even gave us a piece of pina colada cake as a celebration! Thank you again to the entire Tommy Bahama staff for a wonderful evening.“

“We are so glad that we found this restaurant. A real gem.
Friendly service, simple and clean atmosphere, and Delicious food!
We had Mahi tacos and the beef burrito with excellent chips and salsas (red & green).
I highly recommend this family restaurant instead of a chain restaurant. We will come again.“

“We came from out of town and heard wonderful things about CaliCafe, so of course we had to try it! We are happy to say, it did not disappoint!! The service was impeccable, everyone was so happy and friendly and super attentive. We brought our doggy and they sat us down on their lovely patio with beautiful views of the golf course and palm trees. And the FOOD! Delicious is an understatement. We had veggie omelette, California omelette and we loved the fact that we can substitute the toast with pancakes or biscuits and gravy. I got the blueberry pancakes and my husband got the biscuits and gravy, the pancakes were so fluffy and buttery! Of course we had to get a mimosa to top of such a lovely breakfast. Definitely a must-visit anytime you are in Palm Springs area. Can’t wait to return to try the lunch!

Vegetarian options: Veggie omelette, sandwiches and quesadillas! Also can get veggie options upon request

Parking: Plenty of free Parking“

Luba and Elio perform as if they are making dinner just for you!!! Will go back many times after this first experience dining with them last night. This will become our go to Italian restaurant in the Desert. Thank you, Luba & Elio. 🥂🥂“

“Really excellent banh mi and spring rolls. I tried the chicken banh mi, vermacelli noodles with tofu (kids meal) and chicken spring rolls. Everything was excellent. The banh mi was easily one of the top 5 I've ever had (I'm a big banh mi fan). The tofu was delicious as well. I also loved how they make the spring rolls from scratch.

My parents - neither of whom likes sandwiches or is a particular fan of Vietnamese food - raved about their banh mis.“

“Good service and food as always“

“We just discovered this place and we are glad we did, amazing food and staff.“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“Go there. Eat there. The Gluten Free bread option with my meat lover's scramble was tasty and better than most bland options. Our delightful server, Jennifer, said it was from a local bakery. Sat outside and were fully shaded from the sun. Nice relaxed atmosphere and even the bathroom was a relaxing space. Good way to end our weekend before heading back home. (Bonus: there's a Comic Book shop just across the parking lot).“

“We were looking for some tasty breakfast at lunchtime and we found this place on Google with really high reviews so we decided to give it a try. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, close at 2, fyi.

When we walked in it gave off the old school diner vibe which we like! We were greeted right away and let them know we wanted take out. We sat at the bar and chatted with them while deciding what to order. Such friendly and accommodating staff! We are staying in a hotel so they made sure to provide us with all of the condiments and things we needed to take our meal back.

I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was divine! It was our favorite out of everything because it was packed with flavor and they were these cute little mini sandwich bites we could all share. My parents got the eggs and hash browns and really enjoyed a nice, simple home cooked meal. My daughter got the grilled cheese and fries and she thought the cheese was a bit too much, but otherwise she really enjoyed it.

They also had pies in a pie display and these awesome looking cinnamon rolls. We visit the desert often and will be adding this place to our regular rotation! Family friendly, lots of food options at an affordable price and free parking! We will take it! Check it out next time you are in Palm Desert!“

“We originally came because of finding you on the Upside app. Little did we know……Wow! Such an amazing meal and awesome service! Arturo was our server and was on top of his game. The Lasagna “Bolognase” was out of this world. Very rich and flavorful. The homemade sausage….out of this world! My wife had The penne with red and white sauce. Again….delicious! We will be back!“

“Perfect joint to grab some drinks and great Mexican cuisine. They have a full bar and a nice big menu of food. We got the Chilaquilas Con Carne Asada with eggs over medium and red and green salsa. It had the perfect spice and was an extremely big portion. The carne was tender and not chewy. The eggs were also perfectly done. We also tried a veggie omlete that was also cooked to perfection. Fluffy egg, not dry and tasty fresh veggies with fresh slices of avocado. Served with rice and beans that are fresh and delicious. My buddy ordered two Michelada's with Modelo and loved them!! Our waitress was also SUPER friendly and took care of us. Will be back again soon.????

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie omlete.“

“As a regular chaser of foods Japanese, I was so excited to discover Musashi! A small gem in Palm Desert. We were greeted by some cool jazz music in the background. There were people waiting for the doors to open. A good sign. We enjoyed sake, veggie tempura, miso soup, nigiri, sushi, and sashimi. All were excellent. Service was on point. A little slice of Japan. ??“

“Very authentic French cuisine will be back!“

“We went last night for happy hour and had a delicious charcuterie tray and bottle of wine. The staff is welcoming and the place has a cool vibe. We will definitely return next time we visit.“

“This a a top notch restaurant and so are the employees!
When we arrived there wasn't a table available for us to dine there, however, they made it happen and we enjoyed sitting outside with perfect weather and beautiful ambiance.
We ordered calamari for appetizers; for dinner we ordered the halibut special and two veal scallopine. Both meals were delicious. For dessert we ordered the fig gelato which was also very delicious and unique. The nighttime weather was just as delicious as all the meals we enjoyed! You will not be disappointed if you decide to dine here.“

“A Palm Desert Classic! A great bar and grill with high quality food and lively atmosphere. I had the most expensive Lamb Chops ever at $75! But they were magnificent! The prime rib is very tender and melts in your mouth. Expect to spend a couple of hundred bucks on a lovely meal. Next time I think I’ll try the ribs. I know those are only $44. Great place for special occasions and the bar is a great place for older seniors to pick up a date.“

“Great ambiance and the burger and the salmon salad is good“

“Great service. Yummy food. Reasonable price.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“My husband and I love Guillermo 's . Family run business that knows how to make the customer feel special. We bring everyone we know here! The food is fantastic and high quality! It's an upscale Mexican restaurant , we love the ribeye tacos and the 2 different pork dishes offered, the margaritas are out of this world!! We go at least 2x a month when staying out in Palm Desert. A special thank you to Guillermo who stops and chats with the patrons and to Melissa who serves us and treats us as friends. The whole staff is wonderful and hard working !“

“We came on a pretty busy holiday weekend but we're super impressed. Everyone on staff worked hard to offer an exceptional experience to the guest, and that's exactly what we got. The food came out fast and everything tasted great. The drinks by Hunter awesome. Dana the manager was busy and still took time to greet us and make sure we were satisfied. We were, thus highly recommend this Islands for a casual, comfortable dining experience.“

“The one in Palm Desert is good. Nice restaurants and area. Delicious food.“

“Not shiny & new outside or inside, old school diner. You have the option to sit at a table or at the long counter, we chose the counter. Staff were friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. 3 of us ordered sandwiches (pulled pork, tuna salad, cold meatloaf) and milkshakes. Large portions and tasty. Our 4th had breakfast, he was very happy with the portion and quality.“

“Amazing food and service. We enjoyed everything thoroughly. Our waiter, Kohl, was extremely attentive to our every need. Darrell, the manager, came by to make sure we were satisfied. We will definitely be back.“

“Great service and great food! Every salad on the menu is amazing“

“I don’t have enough wonderful words to describe our amazing experience at Flor de Jalisco!! The food is cooked to perfection, the flavors are off the chart, and the service is outstanding!! �����“

“I got the tonkotsu broth with pork belly. This is by far their selling feature for their ramen, with an amazing char and perfectly seasoned pork. I'm only giving them a 4 because my husband doesn't like fatty meat and got the regular roast pork which was probably the most underwhelming ramen meat he's ever had. So if you're going to eat here make sure you get the pork belly!“

“Incredible food and wonderful service“

“So very appreciative that Sub King was open for Christmas Day! We shared a large Italian Sub on French bread and I haven't had a meatball Sub in decades and it was absolutely delicious, super good. They're open New Years Day too. Thanks very much!“

“Great food and service. Wine overpriced.“

“Wowww! What a gorgeous and great restaurant !

We came here for dinner yesterday, on Friday 10/4. We were a lot , about 36 people; 7 families from LA, that went on a vacation in the Palm Desert area. My daughter chose that restaurant, and made a reservation for 20 people (that how we started this trip).
When more people decided to join us, they made their own reservations, for various different hours (whatever was available online).
On Friday, my daughter called the restaurant, and explained SEAN, the manager , that we are a big group, with different hours of reservations, but would like to dine together. I will not exaggerate if I will say that this nice and kind manager (SEAN) did EVERYTHING he could to accommodate all of us together at 8pm, and moreover, put all of us (36 people!) together in a private room. He greeted us upon arrival, and during the whole evening checked on us, to make sure everything is o.k.
Thank to him, and his wonderful crew, we had a beautiful and unforgettable evening!
The food was delicious and the service was outstanding !
The vibe and the atmosphere is so happy and vibrant. The chefs are doing anything to make your experience here unique and happy.
We all enjoyed it SO much! Excellent food, with a great entertainment.
If you are visiting the Palm Desert area, do not miss this gorgeous restaurant.
To my opinion (and basically everyone in our group), it is a must visit. We couldn't have a better Friday evening anywhere else.
Thank you SEAN, you are such a treasure to this restaurant.“

“Really good meal of mushroom soup, poached pear salad with walnuts and goat cheese, homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms and truffle butter, chocolate tort desert. The pasta dish was absolutely incredible and one of best I remember. Highly recommend for great Italian meal.“

“This was not my first time at Fisherman's Market & Grill and their food never disappoint. I had to fish and shrimp basket and it was fried to perfection the fish was flaky and not dry. The shrimp was plump and crunchy the potato wedges were seasoned and just the right size. You do get a good amount of food for your money. It's seafood so you know it's not cheap. It's like a sports bar atmosphere so you know it's fun times. And the staff were as always friendly and inviting. The restaurant was clean and so was the bathroom. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal and their time at the Fisherman's Market and Grill.“

“Everything was so yummy and the service was so attentive! Great experience all around. Had a wait time but we’ll worth it.“
