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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Some of the best 🪴 BASED food I've had! Customer service is Amazing! They're no long wait for your food either! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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“

“GREAT GREAT FOOD. Thank you 😊“

“Great food and fun with 2 Daughters and 1 Granddaughter.“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“Shout out to Jason, Dean, and Nathaniel. This is my favorite restaurant and bar in San Diego after trying many Mexican restaurants and bars across North County. Even if this place were only a restaurant or only a bar, I would still come here for either experience. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all excellent.“

“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!“

“This is an excellent new-style restaurant perfect for dates, as well as a high-end eatery with outstanding reviews. It boasts an elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere, making it suitable for dating, birthday celebrations, and business dinners alike— the vibe is incredibly comfortable. The restaurant specializes in American-French fusion cuisine crafted from fresh local ingredients, and has established itself as one of the benchmarks for SD Fine Dining, thanks to its consistently high-quality dishes and sophisticated ambiance. We decided to check it out this time because our AE credit card got a new credit limit this quarter, and this restaurant is on the list— we just had to come and experience it 🍴

Our first appetizer was raw oysters. They were small but extremely fresh, and when paired with a mix of two sauces, they were absolutely delicious! The flavor lingered on the palate, leaving a memorable impression that’s hard to forget. The lemon was wrapped in gauze, which was such a thoughtful detail! The second dish was the Lobster Ravioli appetizer— ravioli stuffed with lobster. It was our first time trying this, and the ravioli were surprisingly large and quite tasty! The third dish was Mixed Seafood, featuring three types of fish: Ahi tuna, Salmon, and Sea Bass, served with a trio of sauces. The fish was pan-fried to a crispy exterior and tender interior— a must-try for fish lovers! The fourth dish we ordered was roast duck, but it didn’t live up to the innovative roast duck we had at Juniper and Ivy before, so you might want to opt for something else. For example, their signature dishes include Herb-Roasted Lamb Chops (crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside), Pan-Seared Scallops (served with citrus butter sauce, sweet and sour to cut through richness), and Wild Mushroom Risotto (rich in mushroom flavor with chewy rice grains). Among the desserts, the Salted Caramel Pudding is a safe bet that never disappoints— definitely worth a try. The wine list also features a wide selection of high-quality wines from SD, offering great value when paired with the dishes 🍷

The restaurant’s waitstaff were extremely professional and attentive— they helped us take photos 📷, recommended dishes and wines, and ensured a smooth dining experience. Fresh bread was served before the meal, and refills were unlimited. They also checked in regularly to clear the table. If you’re dining to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, they even offer a complimentary cake 🍰 and custom pig-shaped cookies— the sense of ritual is truly on point!

The overall decor of the restaurant is fresh and innovative— it looks high-end yet unique. The walls are adorned with murals of pigs 🐖 and geese 🦢, along with matching decorations, which add a distinctive touch! Considering it’s a high-end restaurant, the value for money is excellent— the four dishes we ordered cost less than $100 per person. So if you’re looking to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, and you prioritize taste and a sense of ritual, this is the perfect choice! Don’t forget to wear a nice dress, enjoy delicious food, and take beautiful photos 🤩

💡 Tip: Make a reservation in advance— the restaurant is closed every Monday.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place. It’s warm, inviting, and filled with amazing pastries and cakes. The atmosphere is cozy and homey, with a charm that takes you back to an old-time, local bakery in a small European village. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. You can sit down, enjoy pastries fresh and hot out of the oven, and pair them with a great cup of coffee. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer. Try it, you won’t regret it.“

“Great friendly service and food!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“Dining at Addison is an experience I recommend as something everyone should enjoy at least once! The food is unlike anything I’ve ever enjoyed before paired with service that is second to none! Chef Bradly and his entire team are warm and welcoming in a way that makes you feel like you’re the only person in a restaurant full of people. I cannot wait to go back! Until next time!“

“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 food and even better service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the service, Mel, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and genuinely happy with our experience. You can tell they care about both the food and the customers. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot.“

“Delicious and great service! Thank you pita 22“

“Muy rápida la atención y muy buena atención“

“Happy Hour is such a good deal - pretty much everything is 50% off - apps, sushi, special rolls, entrees. Only sashimi, drinks and a small section of the rolls are not on sale.
the yellowtail nigiri I had was super fresh.
Crispy rice was excellent!
Rolls are huge! But not in a good way. I like traditional size that fits nicely in your mouth in one bite, but they have american size rolls, oh well.“

“I love this place the pizza is amazing!“

“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.“

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

“More than just a Bahn mi shop. Cali Baguette is an authentic Vietnamese eatery. Besides an amazing selection of sandwiches (btw you can actually smell the fresh baguettes being baked!) There is a multitude of snacks, drinks and desserts! The service and very warm hospitality are just as impressive as the food 👍 I will definitely be back again AND again!“
