50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Diego

“Good service, good atmosphere, great food“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“My vegan lox and bagel was the 💣!!!!“

“Great food and great service! Food was fresh and expertly prepared! Probably the best service I have ever experienced and the place was busy at the time we were there!!“

“Just go! You won’t be disappointed.“

“If you are looking for a true Italian experience in San Diego, look no further than Vinarius! We worked with Giuseppe (owner) to host our wedding celebration here back in March, 2023. From the beginning, he was amazing to work with. Incredibly positive and accommodating from the start, we couldn’t have asked for more. The wedding ceremony was planned to be outside and of course, it rained that day. Guiseppe and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowed us to have the small ceremony inside the restaurant on short notice and made an incredible meal to follow. Our guests were blown away and we couldn’t have been happier. We recommend Vinarius to everyone we know and that is thanks to Giuseppe and his awesome staff. Grazie mille!“

“Great service & good menu options! I’ll come back 😁😁😁“

“I was nervous about the flavors, mostly because I didn’t know what they were! But was able to taste test and decided on the Quattroberry and stracciatella. Delicious! Great price- $6.50 for two big scoops! Definitely wanted to go back. Try the dragon fruit/lemon one- super tart and so good!“

“Walked in last night and had the best pasta I’ve had in a while. I’ll be thinking about that pappardelle. Excellent portions and service.“

“Fabulous food served in a no-frills, casual atmosphere. The service was excellent and Chef Luciano Cibelli comes out of the kitchen and checks with every table to see how diners are doing. Great place to celebrate a special occasion. We enjoyed the seafood fettucini, chicken parmesian, and the catch of the day, which was sea bass on a bed of roasted vegetables, with beet purée and a delicious beurre blanc. Delish!“

“The variety and quality of the tacos was so unexpected and delicious! As a vegan when I try a new place I prepare myself to be disappointed. Not at Tacotarian! We tried four different tacos, the Carne Asada, the Al Pastor, the Gabacho and the Baja. Each one was incredible! I loved the Baja best. The fried avocado and sauce were sublime. The salsas were very tasty. We had margaritas also tasty and yes they contained tequila! Then we had dessert, the coconut cake and in the words of my boyfriend, “very yummy!”“

“Our server Cam was awesome and food was great! Got to try it. Great dumplings!!!“

“Best chicken Kabobs, the beef Kabobs were good too, the salad is one of favorites!!“

“Peace Pies is the most healthful and best restaurant in San Diego hands-down! Your tummy will thank you for opting to go raw, whether it’s for your next breakfast, lunch or dinner. Between having multiple locations in the city and working with delivery services like DoorDash and UberEats and GrubHub, it’s never been easier to enjoy raw cuisine crafted by culinary champs. My personal favorite entrée has got to be a tossup between their pizza and their mushroom stroganoff.“

“Went here for lunch, they serve the full dinner menu which is great. Everything is homemade including the traditional sour yogurt drink, lemonade w mint, Baba ganosh. The lamb was amazing we had the chef’s recipe with cooked yogurt and garbanzo beans, fisherman’s rice and garlic chicken flatbread. We loved the rolled cabbage and stuffed zucchini with lean ground beef. It felt trim, not fatty. My Lebanese friend said this place is like eating in Lebanon. Would highly recommend!“

“Love their new location downtown. More space with the same high quality croissants and sourdough loaves. Chocolate croissant and olive pecan sourdough are my favorites.“

“Outstanding staff! Great food! A must go!“

“It was my first time there food was amazing!“

“Haidilao is an awesome hot pot place, it’s affordable and totally worth it! I’d recommend the chicken broth. Great experience, would recommend.“

“Excellent food and the service was splendid.“

“Fabulous oysters! Definitely worth the wait!“

“Thhheeeee absolute BEST pizza on the west coast HANDS DOWN!! Im from Brooklyn, NY and they definitely brought the authentic expirence and taste from home!!! I bring all my friends here! This is one of my happy places! Food-10 Service-10 Location-10 Price-10 😀“

“excelente servicio y súper ricos los platillos“

“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“

“Food is good. They have 75 page menu, definitley can get lost in it. The cost on the Google serach is misleading. Most, if not all of the starters are > $20. The main course is also upwards of $25, some in the mid 30's. Portion sizes can be little more generous as the cost is high (IMO). The restaurant does provide complimentary dessert (not sure if they offer it to all the customers) our 1st time to the restaurant.“

“Taste of Denmark is an absolute 10/10! From the moment we stepped in, we felt completely welcomed—the owner was incredibly friendly and took the time to walk us through authentic Danish cuisine.

We started with a simple appetizer that was insanely delicious, then shared three open-face sandwiches: the herring, pork, and roast beef. I’ve literally been dreaming about those sandwiches every day since.

We finished with fresh, out-of-the-oven Danishes—absolute chef’s kiss. 100/10, do not skip this place!“

“We have came twice from Denver Colorado and we loveeeeee this pizza! Mike is so welcoming as everyone else is please open one in Denver!!!“

“Had the MTW pita it was very fresh and tasty. The open kitchen concept is cool, you can see the shawarma and pita being made. I went on a Tuesday at peak lunch time and it was fairly busy, the food came out promptly and the cashier was friendly and welcoming. Came for the vegan/plant based options and was happy with the selection. It's really nice to have a fast casual option that's fresh. Will definitely be back.“

“From the moment you walk in, Flora greets you with a smile. My server Lizzy, was great and kind. The cooks deserve praise for a fast, tasty food experience. And last, but not least, Tony, the floor manager made it all come together. Thanks, folks.“

“Every time I visit San Diego, a breakfast at Konos on Pacific Beach is a must. Great food, friendly staff, fast service, and you can enjoy your food inside or across the way behind the gift shop at the outside eating area right above the beach and the beautiful ocean. Dec. 27, 2021“

“Everything was incredible! Kika, our server, was so kind and helpful. I am celiac and she guided me through what would work for me! The food was delicious. We loved the vibe and greatly enjoyed our visit! 100% worth a visit!“

“This is a cozy place that offers excellent food. Everything we had was excellent. The Sweet Corn and Pinion Soup, Patatas Bravas, Pork Adovada, and the New Mexico Mini Burger were all delicious. The dessert was out of this world. Chocolate Pots de Creme. Highly recommend making a reservation as this cozy place is very busy, but worth it.“

“My favorite donuts spot!

Let’s start with the donuts, always fresh and soft. The perfect balance of dough and sweetness. My son loves the donuts so much he’s decided to have donuts instead of cake for his birthday. Also, such an amazing variety of bakery items from donuts, muffins, cinnamon buns, cookies, and more. They also have an extensive list of croissant and breakfast sandwiches. If you’re a coffee lover be sure to try the Vietnamese coffee, it’s simply delicious.

I always receive such the happiest service from the man who is usually working the front. The ladies not as friendly as the guy.

The area may be a bit sketch sometimes, but what area in San Diego is not lol. It’s worth the sketch lol!

Prices have went up in the past few months, about a $2 increase on a dozen of donuts. Yikes!“

“We visit the “Little Lion” on every trip to San Diego. It’s the absolute best brunch spot on Point Loma!“

“Tastylife™️. Would buy treats again.“

“Great place, great food, service is excellent, everybody is having a good time and it shows, this place is a must in SD, whether you go as a couple or with friends, definitely recommended!!!“

“Really enjoyed our first visit to Parkhouse. Definitely coming back. Food and drinks were delicious. The service was exceptional“

“So delicious French pastry with creative addition of unique desserts, too! You can also buy baguette! Great coffee, served on real silverware, cups and nice plates! (Not paper plates, plastic or paper cups - makes eating in a treat!). Very fresh and tasty! Also have savory selections.“

“Fantastic, velvety smooth creative flavors and made from scratch! They also switch out their flavors every 2 weeks or so! Fun concept, wonderful staff. Highly recommend. Putting San Diego on the food map :)“
