50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Rancho Santa Fe

“Amazing STAFF and food. The General manager was super engaging and grit, staff was attentive even under busy and stressful situations- it’s obvious they have a positive working model. Nice work!“

“Shortly after being seated, water and warm nuts were brought to our table (don't skip the nuts). We started our meal by splitting a wedge salad. Thank goodness we split it — too much for one person. My wife got the burger and our server (and the kitchen) handled the special requests perfectly. The burger was excellent. I debated between the prime rib and the NY Steak — went with the NY on the recommendation of our server, and it was an excellent choice. Cooked to perfection. We ordered the apple cobbler to go, and it was fantastic! From start to finish, it was a great experience! More frequent visits are in the cards.“

“One of our special date night places when in the San Diego area. Outdoor seating is great and food is wonderful. Rancho Santa Fe in the evening is quiet and you can just have a nice conversation over dinner.“

“Cocina del Rancho offers amazing REAL Mexican food. We are always happy when we dine here 😄“

“This was our first time eating Peruvian The food was tasty, fresh and great portions.“

“We had lunch today and our experience was amazing. We ordered the orange chicken, spicy garlic noodles and steamed vegetables. It was one of the best vegan meals we have had. Perfection !“

“This is super convenient. Simply order online, and they bring the order to your car. I don't believe they have any indoor or outdoor seating. Only to go. But for takeaway, it's perfect.
I had the Ceasar Chikin wrap. It was tasty.“

“Hey I just want to say the Luna grill down in Carmel valley was amazing and I want to give a special thank you to Athena for helping me out with my order she was polite and made sure i got everything I needed I recommend anyone that loves Mediterranean food check out this location 2 thumbs up will be back“

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“10/10 food is tasty and service is friendly“

“It’s a beautiful restaurant in Carmel. It’s delicious. Serving sizes are huge and healthy. I loved all the healthy choices they had. I ended up trying the beat salad. It was amazing!“

“Don’t let the name deceive you: just because this is technically fast food, it doesn’t mean the quality is similar to that of McDonald’s or Burger King. The food here is amazing and is not only filling but also pretty creative. For example, I had a chicken and waffle sandwich (probably my favorite thing here) that consisted of very thick vegan chicken patty, bacon, and maple aioli (somehow even better than it sounds) all squeezed between two waffles serving as the buns. I also had an order of onion rings with the house sauce and they were particularly great, especially with the sauce. They had a patty melt on special as well, which had two patties in it instead of just one, as well as a heap of caramelized onions, vegan cheese, and delicious sauce between thick slices of Texas toast; it was incredible and definitely something I would gladly order again if it was still a special. For dessert, I couldn’t decide between the horchata shake and the cookie butter shake, so I just ended up ordering both. I had the horchata shake first and it was good, but the cookie butter shake was phenomenal, and the fact that it was my second shake within a few minutes did not deter me due to how delicious it was. This location has a very nice outdoor seating area, and although I ordered my food to go, it’s a great place to eat in as well. If I get a chance to go back, I’d love to try their breakfast items, which all look just as good as the rest of their menu.“

“Delicious fresh and hot handmade donuts! They even have Gluten free!“

“excelente servicio y súper ricos los platillos“

“This place is really cute and family -oriented. I have fallen in love with their mango cream empanadas. Tonight I had their Quinoa power green salad and their empanada for dessert. If you could go a little bit heavier on the quinoa, that would be amazing. Your veggie burger is healthy and delicious. I usually get takeout and that process is usually very smooth and simple.“

“Just went for the first time at Shabu Works!! Absolutely loved it… can’t wait to go back 😋“

“The chicken kabob is amazing!“

“We attended the 20th annual Celebrate the Craft. It was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the event. The waitstaff at the bar was friendly and provided excellent service.“

“Great hat shop with lots of great hats come here if you want a custom made hat o ya you can grab some delicious gelato also while you wait great service parking not so good but a little walk doesn't hurt. Especially in your cool new hat“

“This coffee is the best! Hands down! Forget Starbucks! And support local!“

“I have been enjoying a quarter pounder for ages with a HI C orange, still delicious and fries were amazing. Soo good

Kid-friendliness: I don't have kids but they do have games inside for kids

Parking: They have a lot of parking for pickup, which to me it seems they have too many but since I don't know if they really get many at a time. I guess I shouldn't say. The reason I mention is because it doesn't leave much for the rest of us

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty sure they have ramp“

“Outstanding salads! Friendly staff!“

“Happy hour is bomb. $1.50 oysters, $6 shrimp tempura,“

“Spent several enjoyable hours at New English Brewery this afternoon. Actually, came here because of wanting to try out “The Craft Taco Truck.” They didn’t disappoint! The guys were friendly, the food was great! Visually appealing and delicious. Highly recommend you seek them out and enjoy an afternoon with them! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Luna Grill never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The grilled proteins are perfectly seasoned, and the sides—especially the rice, hummus, and salads—taste like they’re made with real care. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is consistently clean and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner, Luna Grill delivers amazing Mediterranean flavors every time. Highly recommend!“

“I appreciate having a local cafe where I can eat almost everything! They use no seed oils; it's 100% GF and have many dairy free options. They use homemade almond milk without the additives. I can enjoy a latte, a baked good like their pumpkin cupcake which is delicious, and they have amazing vegan bacon on their Sammy sandwich.“

“We have gone here a few times and the food was good although today it came to us some of it warm and hash browns cold maybe it sat too long waiting for servers. What I noticed the servers were talking and walking around without paying attention to the food nor asking customers. Maybe they were told not to bother customers?
The servers are always nice but they need to check on customers as a few customers had to get up and ask for things. Just a tip when dropping off the food please go back and ask customers if they need other things and keep checking on them.
The service is slow and takes away from the good food and nice servers.“

“Fast service, pho delish. Spring rolls were lacking; half shrimp pieces rice noodle lettuce, that's it. I've had better, but the peanut sauce at least was good. Had to go outside and look at the window display to see what boba tea were offered. If go back for the pho but but the spring rolls.“

“We really enjoyed our lunch/dinner! Excellent chicken pot pie. Our waitress was Diane and she is top notch! Thank you so much !“

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“best chicken fried steak and gravy this side of El Paso“

“Highly recommended for family outings and great comfort food“

“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Wow, what an unexpected gem! The speakeasy vibe is already cool (the decor is on pointe) but participating in the murder mystery game made it even better. 5 stars all around! Drinks were creative and tasty, food portions plentiful and delish, staff and customers alike were all awesome people. We will definitely be back! If you do the murder mystery, DRESS UP- totally adds to the fun.“

“The sushi is amazing...baked salmon roll and Philly rolls are my go to!“

“I was definitely surprised by how spacious the place is and also how good their food is! Quite pricey though and some items may be fairly small for the price but definitely a good place for brunch!

Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon exactly at noon and there was actually no wait which is amazing. Had a nice spot outside on the patio and also brought our dog. This was a nice ambience for sure.

Dulce de leche Chai latte was phenomenal! Husband got this one and he definitely made the right choice. There we asked for almond milk and were a little surprised that they charged an extra $1 for that. Not too bad though cuz that drink was delicious.
Friends got the ibara mocha and raspberry mocha. But honestly, everyone agreed that the dulce chai latte was the best!

Asparagus and roasted beet salad - 8/10
Honestly this was a really nice salad with flavors going really well together. We added some chicken on and it was a great source of protein. Chicken was not too oily and was also cooked really well.
Only downside here for which I had to take off a major amount of points is the salad was actually very small. Quite expensive for the small portion size.

Raspberry ricotta stuffed French toast - 10/10
This was absolutely amazing! Soft French toast with that raspberry compote and the ricotta filling on the inside was a really good combination. Quite a large amount of ricotta filling which was appreciated. Fresh berries on top were also abundant and overall a really good item on the menu.

Fried green tomato sandwich
Friend who was vegetarian got this and honestly we were both surprised how large the sandwich was! Really really good portion size with an abundant amount of filling inside. Also got some fries on the side which was nice. Value for money here.

Salted Caramel Waffles
Friends got this to share and nice how it was loaded up with pecans and bananas and came with Chantilly cream on the side as well. I think they quite enjoyed it because they finished everything on the plate.“

“GREAT GREAT FOOD. Thank you 😊“

“We visited Salt & Straw after dinner on a Tuesday and there was a good amount of people there! I get excited about vegan flavors and that month, all of the special flavors were vegan! They have lots of unique flavors and combinations here, so it’s perfect for someone who wants a unique ice cream experience and is tired of the classic flavors. While I appreciated the vegan flavors, I had to get the honey lavender. They allowed us to taste a lot of the flavors and seemed happy to do so. The kid’s size was more than enough and it tasted so great: the lavender flavor was strong enough to taste and really complimented the honey, but wasn’t overly sweet. I’d return again if I lived on the west coast, but definitely recommend for ice cream connoisseurs!“

“cheese enchiladas to go were very good! Food ready in minutes! good job!“
