50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palm Desert

“I’ve lived in Palm Desert all my life and since Restaurante Los Primos opened, it’s been my #1 food spot. I generally come in during lunch for their salads, which are a-mazing. I highly recommend the Sante Fe and Power Bowl. The staff is friendly, the food is great, what more could I want.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.“

“Good service and food as always“

“I love this neighborhood diner! It is my go to breakfast place every Friday. The staff is very friendly and attentive. From the minute Helen greets us at the door until the wait staff comes to serve me coffee and water, I am always greeted with a smile. Servers Rafi, Rudy, Antonio, and Veronica are efficient and prompt in getting my order to my satisfaction. The cooks provide consistently attractive food, and my order arrives just the way I like it. If you are looking for reasonable prices, good food, and friendly service, this is the place to find it.“

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .“

“Great tasting food. Mouth watering tacos. Delicious fajitas.

Great little taco shop. Cozy atmosphere. Speedy service with delicious food. Plenty of food. What a great value.

Another great establishment for the roster. I will be back.“

“Wow! I’m so blown away by this PHENOMENAL pizza place. My new favorite! Staff were awesome and I settled on a Hot Honey Pepperoni. I’m normally not a fan of thick pizzas but this just WORKS. I’ve had GOOD pizzas, but it’s been over a decade since I’ve had an innovative one. These are works of art, very well done. I love the rockabilly vibe too. I’ll be rocking your shirt and spreading the word.“

“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!!“

“What a great restaurant that embodies diners from the 60s. We went for breakfast at 7am during the summer, and they weren't busy at all. First off, the pancakes are huge and delicious. All breakfast prices are reasonable. The hash browns were crispy and not greasy. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean. There are lots of seats around the counter that remind you of soda fountains from the past. If you are not looking for fancy but just good food at reasonable prices, this is a great option!“

“Great burger and fries. Delicious carne asada burger. 🍔 🍟 🥤 so good!“

“Very authentic French cuisine will be back!“

“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!“

“Great place all around! The food is AWESOME and the atmosphere is top notch. A must if you're in the area!“

“We were here in Palm Desert for a competition and one of our parents recommended we try this spot. Great margaritas and absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I don't remember the name of the dishes we tried but the pin wheel shrimp and the pork Fajitas are just incredible. If you're in Palm Desert you have to try Guillmores!!! Definitely worth the trip“

“@2as2jays: So! I just went into your guys establishment today for some lunch- first timer here, since I found your TikTok by the way. Lets first talk about the girl at the register whom is in this video- I LOVE HER! She definitely made my experience. The positive energy, the great advice, awesome gestures! Thats what its about when it comes to customer service! Shes AMAZING! Secondly, I left a decent tip by card. After sitting and waiting for my order, I was hearing her interaction with other guests and once again! She was mind blowing! LOVE! She came to my table and gave me my order, went out to my car, dropped off my meal and came back in with some cash. Leaving a second generous this time tip. Thirdly, the recommendations she gave me omgsh! Food is Awesome! Definitely made a returning client out of me. Appreciate the great experience! 🔥“

“We came back for the Oysters Rockefeller, which we remembered fondly from several years ago. They did not disappoint!“

“Food and service was amazing! Highly recommend going here. Our server Elliot was great, he let us know all about the food and drink specials. Let me not forget to mention the food was absolutely delicious. They use a lot of veggies from their garden and also cook/fry with extra virgin olive oil which is amazing!!! I'm already planning my next palm springs trip just to come back to La Spiga. You won't be dissapointed, go !!!“

“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!!!“

“Elio and Luba are beyond wonderful. The intimacy of the restaurant is wonderful. The food on the menu or on the specials list was delicious. 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. 🥂🥂“

“Great food, nice presentation, attentive service, we’ll be back.“

“We live full time in the area. This is our go to place for Mexican food. They are friendly, fast and the food is delicious. It is not a fancy place which is what we like about it. Delicious Chili Verde, Fajitas, burritos, etc.
Parking is in front or you may have to park down the street a bit. We'll worth it.“

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

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

“We took our neighbor out for lunch, on Friday, recalling what a great experience we had with our son last October. The warmth and efficiency of the staff and our meals were top notch. Instead of heading toward the East side during Coachella, we decided that the eclectic menu here was far superior to unique bite. At 11:15 the place was hopping but we got a great center table. People of all ages love it here. We saw young people ready for concerts and elderly couples and groups. My husband loved the French Dip and he does not usually exclaim with a 5! Our neighbor had the tuna sandwich and side salad. Her sweet petite self had enough to bring half of it home with her. It looked good! My choice was the chicken tarragon on a croissant with those crunchy fries we like so much. An old school charm, consistently great meals and friendly staff make JT's a favorite in the valley.“

“Incredible food and wonderful service“

“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!“

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

“Mario’s was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was authentic, fresh, and full of incredible flavor — easily some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Every dish came out perfectly and you can tell they truly care about quality. I had the Cioppino and I definitely recommend getting it!

What made our experience even better was the staff and especially our waitress, Marty. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed the entire time. Her great personality and outstanding service made our meal even more enjoyable. Kayla was also awesome.

If you’re looking for delicious Italian food and excellent service, Mario’s is definitely the place to go. We will absolutely be coming back!“

“My family and I decided to stop in for some quick dinner after a long day of shopping! Not only was the food a 10 out of 10, the service a 10 out of 10, & the drinks a 10 out of 10, but the management team was exceptional! We had stayed late past the mall closing & were concerned about making it to our car on the other side of the mall safely. The manager, Art, took the liberty to escort us to our vehicles to ensure that we made it there safely. Our server Laurel, also took the liberty to alert the manager for us. Great customer service & a great dinner to end a long day! Definitely recommend eating here.“

“There is no better sushi anywhere in the desert cities. Every sushi, roll, and sashimi is fresh and delicious and beautifully prepared. Service is attentive. And considering the high quality, the price is very reasonable. We love it here and will continue to return.“

“SIL and I spent the weekend in Palm Desert to attend a concert and we are always looking out for new places to eat. This place did not disappoint! Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by a nice gentleman and he showed us to our table and gave us all the names of his employees that day and told us if we didn’t like a service to be sure to let him know. Dani was our server and our food was brought out quickly to our table and it was nice and hot. Pancakes were a good size and the meals were satisfying. Dani was pleasant and checked on us to ensure we were satisfied or needed anything else. Very good menu selection. Something for everyone. We got there around 9 o’clock on a Saturday and it was not crowded.“

“Possibly the best family-oriented mexican restaurant on the Palm Desert strip. A warm and understanding service staff, as well as terrific music in the evenings that allows the kids to dance and go a little crazy. You've got to hand it to Las Casuelas Cafe, they've kept the music going in Palm Desert. And their serving sizes should be considered large. With a roomy climate controlled porch, it's never uncomfortable. Yup, it can get busy. But I've watched the staff handle hungry chaotic crowds perfectly. That takes experience and a staff that has worked together many years. This certainly must be a tribute to the owner of the restaurant; who really is committed not only to his restaurant, but the community that it serves. But honestly, It comes down to the guacamole, doesn't it? Las Casuelas Cafe has 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.“

“I had the spicy miso ramen bowl. Delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful. Spicy but not too spicy. Noodles were the perfect texture and cooked just right. A tip for the owners, I have driven past this restaurant many times and thought it was no longer open because the windows are so tinted that you can’t see the “open” sign lit up. I would recommend stronger visibility to see that you are open. Loved the robot service, nice touch.“

“Driving through Palm Desert, we saw the sign and wanted to try it. I'm sure glad we did! The beer selection is great, we both had IPAs and they were both delicious. They had a great selection of guest taps as well. We had a couple of appetizers, the wings were perfectly cooked and I loved the fact I can get a half order. The fish and chips were excellent as well. It's a pretty big room, but we got there right
after opening and sat at the bar. Service was spot on and of course we bought some beer to go. Next time I'm driving through Palm Desert - count me in. Thank you!“

“I always have the best experience here. I bring my friends here from all over the world and they all say the same thing about this place. It’s the best Chinese food they’ve ever had. I can’t leave a review without mentioning the best server Christina. Shes such a wonderful soul, her personality make the experience that much better.“

“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.“

“A fantastic Italian ristorante. Great food and highly recommended. Can't wait to go back!“

“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!“

“From the moment you walk in, Flora greets you with a smile. My server Lizzy, was great and kind. The cooks deserve praise for a fast, tasty food experience. And last, but not least, Tony, the floor manager made it all come together. Thanks, folks.“

“We absolutely love it here. It is hands down, everybody in the families favourite spot. It is our first stop every time we land in PS. The food is so fresh and high quality, the service is beyond amazing. They have taken the time to get to know everyone’s orders by heart and even started carrying diet coke just for us. 10/10!“
