50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palm Springs

“First time in many years I went to Elmer's for breakfast. I have missed this gem of Palm Springs. Tried the German Pancakes today. Utterly delicious. Our server recommended the lemon flavor and included her tip on how to enjoy them. Spot on recommendation. I, then, noticed through observation that many of the diners were enjoying the same breakfast, some lemon, some strawberry, some lingenberry, and some the combo. I suggest a pairing with the combo of eggs and sausage (can't forget the protein). Oh, and don't forget your coffee. Thank You to the staff, it was a very enjoyable visit.“

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Sat outside around 9 tonight and had wonderful service. Food was excellent and the cocktails were delicious. Margarita flight was the perfect choice. 10/10 would recommend“

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!“

“Outstanding every-time we visit. Great Seafood, pasta, lobster bisque and much more. This is our favorite restaurant in Palm Springs and we recommend it as a definite not to be missed. Nothing fancy here, just great food and a comfortable welcoming environment. Enjoy!“

“5 star service and killer flavors. Great job!! Weekly stop for sure now“

“I enjoyed a wonderful experience at Farm in Palm Springs for an early Mother's Day dinner. We had delightful three hour six course dinner in a magical setting with live music and delicious fare. PROS: The hostesses graciously greeted us and sat us a bit earlier than our reservation time. Had a nice table in one of the rooms with a fireplace and a large mirror. The saxophonist played and the sound poured in with great acoustics from the speakers. The amuse bouch had avocado, so I could not eat it, so my mom enjoyed all two. My dad could not eat solid foods due to mouth surgery. The bread course had warm fresh items and silky salty butter. The beet salad, melon salad, and corn soup provided earthy, tart, sweet, and creamy bites and tastes. The varied textures provided a kaleidescope of fresh tastes. The baked brie offered sweet and savory mixes of grilled bread, pear, and date spread! The lemon sorbet palate cleanser provided a balanced experience that did its job. The salmon entree provided an exquisitely pan fried crispy and juicy flaky fillet. The creamy dijon mustard sauce complimented the protein perfectly. The sweet peppers offered a wonderful crunch. The swiss chard added some bitter contrast to the garlic potatoes. The wonderfully bitter Citron crepe provided a nice end to a culinary cruise. Crystal took great photos in the garden. Gilbert was professional and affable. CONS: They asked me so many times for extra drinks. I had to prompt them multiple times to fill the water glasses and refills on tea and diet coke. They charged me full price for mashed potatoes, soup, and sorbet for my dad's meal. I get it. OVERALL: I highly recommend this restaurant for a magical evening meal inspired by Provence, France.“

“Great food and drinks..Relaxed vibe and atmosphere. Tacquitos Dorado and Tacos LA Paz were excellent...We'll be back!!!“

“Miros is considered by most to be among the top five best restaurants in Palm Springs and with good reason. The atmosphere is warm and comfortably elegant, service is friendly and impeccable. Cuisine is exceptional with comfort food that is refined and clearly farm to table. Expect an absolutely wonderful dining experience every time. Whether dining in the lovely interior, dining room, or the starlit outdoor patio, service is always gracious and attentive. Special thanks and kudos to Alison behind bar for her omnipresent and delightful smile and exceptional service.“

“Love the food here-so creative and incredibly tasty!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“If you’re looking for some great Mexican food, this is the place to try! The atmosphere is amazing, the food is even better, and the service is excellent!“

“Love this place, the quality of food is always great! It’s never been a let down, my family and I keep returning.“

“We absolutely love this place. Great food and great service. Always try to get here for lunch on our way to the airport and today especially enjoyed the croissant benedict.“

“Great food and great prices. It is a rare find to get good ethic food in Palm Springs. This is a great one.“

“I ordered take out. I searched google maps, 3 separate times, because I thought there was a mistake (there was, but google maps would not say differently). I ended up driving an extra hour, to Palm Desert and back. Apparently it was their previous location which google maps had not updated. Yes, I was very irritated by the time I received my food. Understand, the location is in downtown Palm Springs. The take out food was very good.“

“Great service, great food, our bartender Ilda was amazing! highly recommend“

“I totally enjoyed my recent and a previous dinner occasion at La Perlita. Service was friendly and efficient, from being greeted through departure after enjoying a delicious meal. Portions were just right in size, not too little or too much. I had the pollo asado and was very satisfied.“

“Food is great as well as the prices. Margarita are good as well. I will definitely be coming back. I’ve been here four or five times now. The waiter didn’t once ask me once how my meal was. Nor did he offer dessert. The gentleman refilling my water, salsa, and chips was awesome though. Maybe I happen to miss it each time I’m but I really would like to hear some mariachi or other types of traditional Mexican music whether live or recorded. This is a Mexican restaurant after all. Again, I definitely plan on coming back.“

“Some places you discover. Others you return to — year after year, like a ritual you'd never dare break. Counter Reformation in Palm Springs is the latter, and every visit only deepens the devotion.

Dark, intimate, and dripping with atmosphere, this is a wine bar that takes the craft seriously without taking itself too seriously. The vibe is effortlessly cool — candlelit and unhurried, the kind of room where time loosens its grip and conversation flows as freely as the wine.

Speaking of which — Britney. The woman is a gift. As sommelier, she curates this list with a connoisseur's precision and a true lover's instinct. She remembers what you liked, anticipates what you'll adore, and somehow always lands on the exact pour you didn't know you needed. Her knowledge is vast, but it's her warmth that truly elevates the experience. In Britney's hands, every glass tells a story.

Year after year, Counter Reformation earns its place as one of our most cherished stops in the desert. It never disappoints. It only gets better.

See you again next year.“

“There are two meals in my (now 27) years of life that have made me feel this way. I came in on a whim with my boyfriend after finding this place on google maps. We were staying in a nearby town for a few days, searching for a last minute birthday dinner spot that seemed like a serious restaurant and not just pricey for the sake of being pricey. Decor and vibe seemed promising from the pictures and I’m a sucker for tapas, but our expectations were tempered going in. The ambience, cuisine, and service that greeted us at Del Rey blew my expectations out of the water completely. Tucked away inside a beautiful and very quintessentially palm springs hotel, Del Rey’s dining room provides stunning decor and vibes galore. However, I found the dim lit patio was too cozy to resist on a nice warm desert evening). Kai (hope i’m spelling it correctly) was our server, and despite our short-notice arrival well after the peak of dinner service, his hospitality was superb. We never felt rushed, and our many questions were answered thoroughly and patiently. We rushed out of the gate with a massive order of different tapas, and he was considerate enough to help us dial it back to a more appropriate amount of food given the portions. If i had one note at all, it was that the mushroom dish is missing something texturally, but it was nevertheless delicious and had we not had so many other dishes on our table i’m certain we would have finished it quickly. Besides that, everything that touched our table was utterly spectacular. The house gin martini was perhaps the best martini i have ever had (as a gin martini drinker), and my boyfriend who hates gin AND martinis was shocked at how much he enjoyed it. The sangria was another standout drink. I could go on and on, but in short: if you find yourself in this corner of the desert you would be a fool to not pay Del Rey a visit.

p.s. the cheesecake desert makes for a perfect nightcap, and i’ve never cared much for cheesecake“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

“Stopped in for lunch and had the aspen turkey sandwiches. They also gave us a sample blueberry muffin. Jennifer and Melissa were fantastic and the ambiance was positive and upbeat.
Great lil bakery and sandwich stop.
Highly recommended“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience on Saturday, January 17. Our waitress was Marlene and so truly added to our evening! Kudos to Marlene! Loved the table lighting too“

“Great food! Would return when we are back in the area. Highly recommend.“

“The food is always wonderful. I love the Viet wings. It’s a must order on every visit.“

“Been here couple times & they have good burgers & potato salad - it says it’s a former Grayhound Bus station so it’s a bit quirky but worth a visit. I don’t know why they insist on posting more than 40 menus on the website from the last 17 years (other than comparison to see inflation lol) wish they highlighted the CURRENT menu a bit more prominently instead of searching thru page after page of history“

“The burger/martini is a solid!!
Amazing martini taste paired with a savory burger.

The burger was simpler then I expected...shredded lettuce...I love whole leaf lettuce, preferably, butter lettuce. No tomatoes...sparse onions. But it was delicious.

Cool vibe...super friendly and prompt service. 😎“

“Our 2nd time at Spencer’s, and it certainly won’t be the last. Service is extraordinary, the food exceptional, and the ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend it. I write for a local paper in Missouri -where I despair of the quality displayed by so many restaurants. No wonder I was eager to get back to Spencer’s on our recent trip to Palm Desert.“

“The best Thai food in town !“

“Everything we ordered came hot and well prepared. Service excellent. Margarita drinks also very good.“

“Italian ? Always my first choice . Cooking always Perfect ? This isn’t your pizza and pasta shop . It’s Italian / Sicilian but every bite is worth the $.“

“Best Vegan organic breakfast in town!“

“One of my favorites in the desert. I eat out all the time so I experience lots of local restaurants.“

“Food was delicious service was great. Very nice meal.“

“Absolutely incredible dining experience! The portion of mussels was huge—way more generous than expected—and every single one was tender and perfectly cooked. The sauce was so rich, savory, and flavorful that I honestly wanted to drink it straight from the bowl. Paired with the crispy garlic bread, it was pure perfection.

The patio vibe was excellent: cozy, relaxed, and perfect for unwinding. On top of that, the service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring without ever feeling intrusive.

Truly, what dreams are made of. Whether you're looking for a memorable dinner or a romantic evening out, this spot is perfect for date night. Highly recommend!“

“I have been out of town for awhile and today I stopped by for some delicious Greek food...unfortunately they were closed. I called Nina and she explained she had to pick up some supplies. She is so sweet....I will be in the desert this summer and will make sure I come back.....and you should too. Here is my original post: I don't know how they do it but I was there today and the food gets better every time...how is it possible to improve on perfection. All I can say is I was there today and the owners are the friendliest most welcoming restaurant owners around...and it doesn't hurt to have the best Greek food in the desert and beyond! Go there! What are you waiting for.......“

“Great pizza and great service“

“The Dominos at 1755 N Sunruse Way is FANTASTIC The BEST Dominos pizza I have ever had It arrived HOT and quickly. Driver was great and I won’t order Doninos from any other location in Palm Springs“

“Superb quality! Apart from Shabu Shabu in Rancho Mirage, this is the real Japanese sushi restaurant in Palm Springs!“

“We finally stopped in for coffee and dessert brunch, and it was delicious! We like the taste of coffee, key lime bar (I think that was name) was absolutely delicious. We will be back for more! I’m“

“An amazing setting outside near the pool. Service was excellent! The food was delicious and uniquely presented and prepared. We had the sea bass and chicken mallard. Both were very good! The beet salad was so different but delicious. Had the coconut dessert for my birthday. A very wonderful way to celebrate my special day. You won't disappointed.“
