50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Rancho Santa Fe

“The burgers and fries are both quite good, and the thin crust pizza is very tasty. Many choices for the burgers and pizzas. The owner and staff are friendly and outgoing but not obnoxious or phony. Give it try!“

“Totally wonderful. We have been going to MF for years - and the food last night was perhaps the best ever. Best in San Diego. Bertrand and Marco were in full court; and marvelous as usual. It's a very fun night out ; and don't miss the piano bar before and/or after for extra jolly!“

“I can't say enough good things about The Pony Room! I took my friend who was visiting from out of state for a special reunion dinner and the service, ambiance, and food made it an absolutely perfect evening. The service we received was unmatched by any dining experience I've had in as long as I can remember. Our waiter was incredibly insightful, kind, humorous, and truly an expert at service (and we can be tough critics!). I put in the reservation notes that it was a special occasion, and our amazing waiter gave us a wonderful desert to celebrate which I was not expecting whatsoever! Every detail of the entire evening was above and beyond. The dinner portions and quality of food blew us away! And there was live music even on a Wednesday evening. Truly a fabulous time. I hope you visit and have the same experience we did! Thank you thank you thank you!“

“Ambiance, service, exceptional food (Dover sole, branzino) - simply elegant“

“Excellent little cafe in a business park. I ordered in person and my order was ready in under 5 minutes. Service was courteous and efficient. I ordered the turkey club, lightly toasted, and it was perfectly executed. Avocado was perfectly ripe and the lettuce and tomato were super fresh. Turkey was high quality and condiments were just right. Prices are very reasonable. I think I paid about $11 total and portions were generous.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Upscale dining by Chef Jeffrey Strauss. We came for restaurant week ($70 + $45). The menu being offered is slightly different than the daily regular menu offering beef, pork, fish, duck and vegetarian.

We ordered:

Complimentary assorted bread basket came out first with mini corn muffins, baguette and a seeded bread that was my favorite.

Lobster ravioli (also on regular menu) - 1 giant lobster filled ravioli with small mushrooms and scallops in a ginger soy mushroom sauce

Skipped the second appetizer and Supplemented for the Angel hair pasta with shaved truffles for $45. You can add on as a third dish for $65. This was buttery rich goodness.

Korean marinated flat iron steak - sliced in 7 pieces over fried rice. Although rice was good, sadly, we compared it to Trader Joe tv dinner.

Pork schnitzel - I have to say, this was better than the ones I had in Germany and Austria because it was thinner, wasn’t dry and had flavor (meaning salt). The potatoes balanced out the salty flavors.

Warm chocolate caramel cake (also on regular menu) - served with berries and vanilla gelato. Found this to be same as other places.

Seasonal fig tart - puff pastry with mascarpone filling, honey and few slices of fig.

Restaurant week has gotten more pricy over the years with Pampalmousse on the higher end of $70, I expected more. I would have loved to see more of their regular menu items featured on the RW menu and more French inspired.

Overall, plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating. We had a wonderful experience. Food was well prepared. Truffle pasta was our favorite. Our drinks were strong. I got the Sippin’ on Lychee with gin, lychee liquor and simple syrup.“

“Awesome staff and great food.🤩“

“Steak and ribs are off the hook (taste good)“

“Highly recommended for family outings and great comfort food“

“Nice Pho spot in San Marcos. Clean, comfortable restaurant in the strip center. Located at a main intersection, about 3 blocks off the freeway. Very nice mural and photos. Staff are knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. Food is very good. Fresh and flavorful. Thai ice tea is good. The wontons in the soup are great! Highly recommended for 1 to 20 group size. Great lunch spot. Super fast service.“

“What the? This is basically the best restaurant on campus?

All the other restaurant food are kind of... meh? Like they put slightly too much filler into their food.

However, the food here actually made me feel something. I ABSOLUETLY LOVE THEIR BURRITO!!! THERE IS ACTUALLY CONTENTS INSIDE!!!!!!!

Just, maybe don't get the pasta if you aren't a died-hard vegan, but a lot of stuff on here is REALLY good.“

“GREAT GREAT FOOD. Thank you 😊“

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

“As a Vietnamese San Diego local, Ngon Ngon to go is the best Vietnamese spot in San Diego. Ngon Ngon to go offers the most authentic dishes such as Cha Ca, Bo Luc Lac, Bun, Com Chien, Bun Cha, and Banh Mi. The restaurant is located at the back of the Vinh Hung supermarket and the service is on par.“

“Great friendly service and food!“

“Great food and good people for our community.“

Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

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

“Still thinking about our dinner at Addison—yep, the Michelin 3-star tucked inside Fairmont San Diego. Total bucket list moment! The uni chawanmushi and caviar rice? Unreal. Vibe was cozy-luxe, service was flawless. Took 4 hours and I’d do it all over again. ✨🍽️💛“

“Ava our server was just so amazing! Such a great attitude and got our food/ beverages out in a timely manner. Definitely would give that girl a raise!“

“Excellent food and cocktails! Had amazing service from James and Jessica, made my friends birthday extra special. Kudos!“

“great spot with great food. I always feel welcome when I go in there“

“Muy rápida la atención y muy buena atención“

“Visiting my son before his deployment. The owner went out of his way to take care of us. I would highly recommend any military family to visit here. Food was very good too.“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“First time got a chance to try this place and the food was amazing. Great taste, great size, portions were awesome, and taste was very good. Definitely will be back for more and I highly recommend you to try this place. Great job guys.“

“Took over as my favorite pizza place in SD. Just exudes laid back fun and cool. Like 10 high school kids running around working hard and being friendly, and couldn't tell who could possibly be in charge, but it was totally working! And Hazy IPA was great.“

“Very excellent taste. Serving is good but only issue is with drinking water“

“Had ordered Salad and pizza’s all were fantastic . Server was awesome !!!! We love your pie’s Buona 😍😍😍😍“

“We eat here and order from here on a regular basis! Dependable customer service and consistently elevated quality every time! Substantial menu variety for every palate. Family-operated and welcoming atmosphere. Enjoy!“

“Delicious and great service! Thank you pita 22“

Thank you for a wonderful evening. I'll be back for sure!“
