50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Francisco

“This restaurant was born out of Hong Kong Lounge II, which was one of our favorites. This met our expectation. So glad to see returning staff from the prior location providing the same amazing service. Food was outstanding. My next adventure will be chicken feet.“

“We had dinner there and the food was delicious…. The fried quail was the star. The starters were excellent. Very recommended restaurant“

“Quintessential experience of culture, top quality authentic food, and a staple. If there’s a place I’d want to help carry San Francisco culture this is one of them. So lucky for it and you’ll multiple returns to try different taco, burritos, and their great aqua Fresca. Got their mangoes and it hit the spot“

“It had been at least a decade if not longer since I last visited Zuni Cafe and it felt just as it did all those years ago in the best way possible! Lovely ambience as always and great service. I raved about the chicken for months to my kids and although the bread salad was perfect, the chicken served was quite dry. Aside from that, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Zuni“

“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!“

“Best pizza spot in the Richmond. Their pizzas are all fantastic (on the crispier/thin side) and their daily specials are always awesome (although a bit expensive for what you get). The melon feta salad was incredible with a mix of feta, melon and a red onion vinaigrette.“

“Definitely not your typical brunch. We loved the Filipino inspired creations. Don’t skip the French toast with caviar hollandaise, crumbled bacon, and shrimp. It’s AMAZING!“

“Amazing food at a great price“

“Get there early if you want a seat. Their Whiskey Sour is absolutely perfect And they have actual food if you like that kind of stuff🍸🍹“

“Great environment, lively, and tasty food!“

“Awesome yummy food with a friendly atmosphere and Great Service“

“Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.“

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚“

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.“

“awesome food , great service definitely recommended“

“Their service is fast, friendly, and the food is delicious!!!“

“One of the best tasting pizza I’ve tasted I highly recommend this place.“

“California-style Cantonese cuisine! I really like the decoration style here, which always makes me feel better when dining here. The golden lotus chandelier and the gold and silver wire lamp are definitely the best decoration! 👍The pastries here are also worth mentioning! Pineapple buns, wife cakes, black sesame banana cakes with miso sugar!“

“Randomly stopped by this place. Just to get Miso and couldn’t stop ourselves and ordered some sushi.. Food and atmosphere were amazing!! I believe somebody heard that is my birthday and brought for me ice cream!! It’s was cherry on top! Definitely coming back!!! 💗💗💗💗💗🥳🌸“

“It is miles away from the hustle & bustle of the city, so when we reached, we almost turned around and drove away as we wanted a nice place for our anniversary. However, it looked a nice cute place, so decided to take a chance. They seated us in the back room which was cozier. The server was outstanding - he explained all the food items (we are Vegetarians), and every food item we ordered was delicious. Perfect blend of flavors and taste. The corn bread is more like a corn cake but it was baked fresh and came steaming and was mouth watering. The cocktail was amazing and the Bordeaux style Cab from Sonoma was very nice. The manager stopped by many times to enquire how we were doing. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Because it was our anniversary, they even brought 2 glasses of complimentary Prosecco to make it special.“

“The usual wait time is 20-30mins always but if you go solo or as a group of 2 then wait time is ~10mins. I got the classic I think it was a solid choice but the lamb one because of the broth was so much better.

“Truly authentic Calabrese style Italian cuisine takes us back to Nonna’s kitchen“

“Great leisurely lunch with girlfriends. Staff was friendly attentive. The butternut squash ravioli was to die for! Nice ambiance (we sat outside). Enjoyed!“

“It has been many years since we were at La Ciccia.  it has always been one of our favorite restaurants. My wife and I chose to go here on our anniversary. We were very happy that the restaurant was bustling, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious and unique.“

“Everything we ordered was good. In fact we couldn’t eat it all. Your pizza was so delish! Never had chow fun wrapped up in little rolls but it was pretty good. Your shaking beef salad was good too. Definitely a dining experience in Asian fusion!“

“The pork chops are above world-class!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'll be back.“

“Really good pizzas! Loved the crusts and the sauce.“

“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne“

“this is the best lobster roll i’ve ever had in my entire life. such meaty and buttery pieces. got the truffle butter and it was so amazing. please open one of these in toronto i am begging you i will eat there every day! the staff was so kind and cool. i don’t like the chairs but otherwise everything was perfect!“

“I had the most Amazing experience from the moment I walked through the door. The hostess/manager took the time to make recommendations and checked in throughout my meal. This attention to detail was above and beyond. I am grateful for her making this experience so amazing. She is a Gem.“

“Excellent cocktails that everyone enjoyed.“

“Great food and the best margaritas.“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“I am Italian. We passed by here by chance in 2017 and apparently 8 years later we are still talking about it. A dive into the past and a focaccia to remember; a bit on the soft side compared to the way we have them where I am from. Packed with care.“

“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“

“Amazing food and service! Sake is the best!“

“I have had several 5-star meals here over the years, but tonight’s was very disappointing. The server splashed wine when pouring it then didn’t wipe the glass (so it dripped every time I picked it up), the arancini were mushy and hard to pick up, and of my 3 half pasta servings (a delightful thing they offer at the bar for solo diners), one was overcooked and another so undercooked that I sent the dish back. Hoping that tonight was just an off night on execution, but I expected (and have had here) much better“

“Another brilliant visit to Sorrel and Alex Hong continues to reign as my current favorite Chef! 🤘🏼If you haven’t been to Sorrel, go. Total genius.“

“The food here is always exceptional. Dishes are very creative and flavorful. Wines and deserts to pair are also great. Though the service is lacking for the experience you're paying for. Our waitress came to check only once besides taking our order. The water pitcher was frequently empty and drinks took far too long to arrive. This restaurant could be great with more waitstaff and better training, but right now it's just good.“

“awesome wine experience. Chris and his team are really dedicated sommeliers and love sharing their knowledge with you. i highly recomend this place. welcome to the world of wines.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Both food and service was excellent!! Highly recommend going with the tasting menu. Every dish was cooked to perfection! The flavors blend so beautifully. 1601 Bar & Kitchen is my new favorite!“

“Really nice fair..lovely Americana incredible surprise in the Sunset.exactly what soccer player needs for good fuel.from salads to wings to DIE FOR!!!this place is 55.or even 5.2/5..craft well and sauces..REALLY...great street vibe or in back quiet.“

“Incredible food & wonderful staff!“

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️“

“Really great spot with delicious and healthy options. I went for the mixed grill, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The Seedlip non-alcoholic drinks were an unexpected and delightful surprise!“

“This place is a gem. It's near to Union square, the cable cars, and munno. It's walking distance to some great places like Chinatown and Salesforce Park. The staff went above and beyond for my birthday trip: handwritten wishes, free cappuccino with my breakfast, and lots of verbal birthday wishes. The shower is great temperature and pressure. The bed is super comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you Sylvia in PLS restaurant for our breakfast service. Thank you Lina at the front desk..“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend this place for date night, family and friends. The only downside is parking is hard to come by in this neighborhood.“
