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!“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“Really delicious and reasonably priced food. Love the fusion style. The Tokyo fries are one of my absolute fav things on the menu. As well as the fried kale and Banh mi 🤤 Decent beer, wine, teas, and specialty drinks.“

“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!“

“​One does not travel four hundred miles from the Bay Area merely to seek indulgence, yet a wise traveler honors substance and virtue wherever it is found. During our recent stay in San Diego, we returned to Tacotarian on three separate occasions—not out of unchecked appetite, but because the standard of excellence here is deliberate and unwavering.
​The nourishment is executed with discipline and care. The taco platter offers balance and variety, while the crunchwrap demonstrates precise craftsmanship and structure. The meal concludes honorably with the churros, accompanied by chocolate fudge on the side—a simple, deliberate reward taken in measured appreciation.
​Above all, character distinguishes this establishment. The manager, CJ, exemplifies hospitality as a duty rather than an obligation. Calm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, CJ operates with steady grace that elevates the entire dining environment. A dependable establishment governed by virtue and craft. Highly recommended!“

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

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

“My family and I had such an incredible experience at Alforon! Samia, co-owner and sole waitress/hostess, laughed with us the entire time, sharing her candid recommendations and suggestions. The za'atar flatbread, chicken kebab, and aaysh essaraya (we ended up ordering two!) were particularly delightful. It was our first time, but it was incredibly telling that the rest of the guests were regulars (one couple was there for the third time that week) - the entire experience felt like we were having a meal at a beloved family member's home. I wish we lived in San Diego because I would be back in a heartbeat!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Fabulous oysters! Definitely worth the wait!“

“Excellent food and the service was splendid.“

“Absolutely worth the wait, this place is amazing. Not only is the food over the top great but the staff is super friendly and the service is top notch. I highly recommend and I will always be a customer!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“YUMmmmmmmm & thank you!!! Burnt out single mama here, that has prepared way too many meals for myself and my son 😅 & needed something wholesome! The avocado burger & fries wow, & the quinoa avocado bowl with beets, pickled onions, cabbage & some kind of yummy sauce de-fu€king- licious! 🙌💛🙌“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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 :)“

“I gotta say I was a little disappointed in the food. The Cali burrito was good. The carne asada burrito was ok. The fish tacos weren’t great. The rice and beans are not good. Tasted old. The salsas weren’t that great either. Not sure I’ll return“

“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!!!“

“cordialità,buon cibo e ambiente raffinato“

“This is a must visit when in San Diego! The best food! Everyone is kind that works here and even with waiting once an hour and a half in line I was not disappointed. Highly recommend Oscar's of Emerald in SD🥰“

“I am a big vietnamese coffee drinker and this place is amazing! Been going for years and they never disappoint. Lines get long on weekends but they move quickly (plus all the cute North Park dogs you get to pet in line doesn't hurt either)

Would definitely recommend giving this place a try!“

“Taiwanese hot pot, you choose the ingredients and the broth, they promptly cook it for you. If you appreciate deep soup flavors, and love meat, you can eat here for $15-20 per person. Simple atmosphere, basic service. 5 stars because it’s delicious.“
