50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Rancho Santa Fe

“Mille Fleurs was the perfect spot to celebrate our mutual birthdays! Service was both understated and perfectly timed. The food was, as it always is, perfection. My husband started with the Osetra caviar (with really lovely buckwheat pancakes and some potato crisps); I had the lobster bisque (perfectly seasoned, adorned with chives and a swirl of cream). I got the diver scallops (with a divine saffron sauce, over spinach and sauteed mushrooms); he got the lamb chops (grilled to perfection, over couscous and green beans). We shared a delightful lavender creme brulee, and were surprised by individual birthday cakes and candles in wine glasses. He had a perfect Grey Goose dry martini, I had a split of champagne. It was lovely, unhurried, quiet enough to converse without shouting, under a lovely spring sky on the patio. Cannot recommend this enough- it's the perfect splurge, and is reliably both elegant and exquisite.“

“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!“

“We are so grateful to everyone at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa for making our first time so special. The staff truly went above and beyond, and the food was absolutely spectacular. They exceeded our expectations in every single way! Thank you for everything!“

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

“We had the best service that you can possibly get really great. The food was actually excellent. A reason for the four is I ordered an egg for my barbecue tri-tip sandwich and the yolk came done like well done. I would expect any chef knows that when you order an egg for a burger or a sandwich if you want it to be ready nice and warm and runny that’s why you have it put on there. But flavors and textures were excellent“

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

“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!

“I love the pastries here! I have been coming here for years. On this visit I purchased two fruit tortes for a pot luck. I chose the peach torte and the Alpine Torte. Both were very delicous! They were fresh, tart, sweet, and a bit crunchy (with the crumble at the top). It's everything you want in a torte, or a pie. The customer experience when I picked them up was excellent as well. Sophia helped me on this visit. She was very helpful and answered questions that helped me make a choice. Thank you! If you want the best quality pastries in San Diego, you can't go wrong with Edelweiss. Eat up!!!“

“Amazing food!!! We got a few things on the menu today. We got the firebird , cali dip , kids meal chicken nuggets . Let’s start with the firebird .. amazing sweet and spicy taste with big nice pickles to maintain the heat overall recommend this sandwich . The Cali Dip was delicious sweet and so much flavor I’d have to say one of the best “Tortas” I ever ate . The fries are the best !!! Sauces are so yummy. Everything was about $47 but SO WORTH IT!“

“We visited Hoorah Cafe for brunch right after our son’s graduation, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. Even though they don’t take reservations and the place was absolutely packed with graduates and their families, the wait for a table wasn’t bad at all. It honestly felt like the team anticipated the rush — they were organized, calm, and ready for the day.

Once seated, our food took about 20–30 minutes, which was completely understandable given the huge crowd that arrived all at once. What impressed us most was how smoothly the staff handled everything. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, even under pressure.

The food itself was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and worth the wait. They also have a great coffee bar, which made the experience even better. We enjoyed some really yummy coffee while waiting, and it made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and left extremely happy. Highly recommend Hoorah Cafe, especially for brunch, and we’re already looking forward to returning soon.“

“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.“

“El Pueblo Mexican Food & Bar in Carmel Valley was outstanding! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, with something on the menu for everyone. The fish tacos and margaritas were especially delicious. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed—perfect for a family dinner, date night, or catching up with friends. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this local gem!“

“Rosinas is consistently excellent authentic Italian food. The only food downside ( which is why I gave Food a 4 out of 5 rating), is their Ceaser salad...it is consistently bland, really watery, and tasteless...such an unpleasant surprise given that ALL of the other salads are so delicious, and ALL of the other food is delicious. Rosina, PLEASE update the Ceaser salad..it is really awful.“

“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. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“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.
