50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palm Desert

“We were visiting from out of state. They were kind enough to accommodate us to make a dish ( shrimp tacos instead of mahi-mahi) that wasn't on the menu currently.Only complaint, It was a little bit loud/ echoey We had a party of eight and it was hard to hear the far end of the table.“

“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“

“Randomly stopped in for a bite as I had a dreading 2 hour drive back home. I was hungry and cranky but as soon as I walked in, it all changed. The owner was very personable and the food was amazing, best I’ve ever had. The bread is homemade and is easily the star in the sandwich! I recommend stopping by for a bite.“

“The staff were friendly and attentive- the food was absolutely delicious - the experience was top-notch and we highly recommend to anyone who wants a nice relaxed dinning experience! And their cocktails are yum!!!“

“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!“

“I went there Friday night because I wanted escargot and a nice glass of French wine 🍷 Happy to say excellent! Service was excellent thank you to your staff“

“A fun and quirky suds stop with friendly staff and patrons. Check out their food truck schedule. They are pooch friendly and the suds are brewed in-house. Highly recommended!!“

“Fishman's Market has always given me some solid quality food. It's a little small and a bit old fashioned but if it ain't broke why fix it. The fish tacos are insanely popular here. Also they have a fish and chips special after 3 on Monday - Thursday.“

“Great service. Yummy food. Reasonable price.“

“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!“

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!“

“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.“

“Went for my mom’s Birthday on the 8th. Super nice staff, I reserved a seat for inside but they tried to move us outside on the patio. I would’ve, if it weren’t so hot. They let us sit inside the bar which was nice. The manager (I assume) was super nice and the hostess was very welcoming.

Also whoever the bartender who was working on the 8th at 7ish is a super cool dude. Food was out very fast and delicious.“

“Great service! The King Mushroom burger with 4 different mushrooms was the best! Will stop in when passing through Palm Springs.“

“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!“

“Always enjoy everything about Guillermo's. The food, ambience and visiting with Guillermo himself. As regulars there, we truly appreciate the warm welcome when we arrive. Highly recommended Guillermo's as one of the best restaurants in the valley.“

“Best Italian dining in Palm desert! Cozy and friendly atmosphere with high quality and originally italian made dishes!“

“Know now to order everything at first. If you wait the lead gets long after 5:30! My quests had the dragon tempura roll! The warm middle was an outstanding contrast to the chilly tuna on top! The service is fast and efficient! Every time we plan our trip to Palm Desert we book a reservation! Stella is kind and accommodating to all who walk through the doors!“

“Very authentic French cuisine will be back!“

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

“Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“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.“

“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 should be tops on their list of reasons to come here. Tracy is the best!“

“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.“

“Incredible food and wonderful service“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The food was delicious and the dishes were piping hot when served, an indication that the plates were delivered to the table as soon as they were ready rather that sitting under a heat lamp. the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. It was a birthday dinner and the birthday guest received a nice comp desert. Only complaint was that the sauce was left off/removed from the left over portion we took home.“

“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!“

“Found this fine establishment by accident. A great find. Was on a drive from NorCal to Phoenix & stopped in Palm Desert for the night. Will return their often!“

“I love going there for the atmosphere and the food and I like. To take a friend or family when I do.

Parking: Stuff pizza is at the mall?So there's plenty of park

Kid-friendliness: We've taken my granddaughter there. I've seen other people take their kids there, so definitely friendly“

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

“Best Mexican food in the desert the fajitas trio or any of the combination plates. Best margaritas on this side of the border.“

“Mario's Cafe serves amazing Italian food! I recently visited with my friend from NY, who is always bragging about the insanely great Italian food she has in her city. She could not believe that there was an authentic Italian food restaurant in the Coachella Valley. Truly the BEST Italian food in the West!“

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.“

“This was our second time eating here, and it was amazing nice again. Food, service, drinks, and the speed of the chefs cooking was great. Oscar, went above and beyond to help, and provided much needed entertainment, enthusiasm, and professionalism on a hot day like yesterday.“
