50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Francisco

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

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

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

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

“We lived in HK and Singapore for over 10 years and this was by far the best dim sum we’ve had in CA. HK Lounge has all of the traditional favorites, staff is friendly and attentive, and you can make reservations. They even put a fun sparkler on my husband’s dessert for his bday.“

“My sister cannot eat gluten, so restaurant dinners usually mean she watches everyone else eat.
Here, the kitchen prepared gluten-free versions she could enjoy safely — and they tasted genuinely good.
A guest with restrictions should never feel like a burden, and this place makes sure of it.“

“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.“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“Had the shrimp and grits with a side of collard greens and let me tell you! It was soooo good I wanted to slap someone!“

“We've been here twice and enjoyed it both times. The sushi was fresh and well made, and the Hey Girl roll was our favorite. We'd order it again in a heartbeat. The flavors were balanced, the presentation was beautiful, and the portions felt just right.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming, which made it a great spot for a relaxed dinner. One thing we really loved: they offer free ice cream if you're celebrating your birthday. It's a thoughtful touch that makes the visit feel special.

Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back!“

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

“Sooooo good! Moroccan flavors are unforgettable. Starting with the flatbread and spreads to the amazing cauliflower, the tender octopus and the savory mussels. Thanks to our server, we tried some menu items that we would have otherwise missed.“

“Always a superior fine American dining experience at Spruce. This place needs its Michelin star back...maybe add another. Our server, Michael, was incredible, and the tasting menu, from the Parker House rolls to the desserts was perfect.

We went for the supplements, which I recommend as an actual additional course, rather than a substitute, as the tasting menu itself is so thoughtfully curated that you don't want to miss out on the chefs rhythm.

Decor remains relaxing and peaceful....my only quibble (and this is of ALL san Francisco restaurants) is that the pacing can feel a wee bit rushed, between courses, especially if you're used to fine dining in other cities, such as New York. But in terms of service, food, and atmosphere...
.no notes....just go!“

“Having not been here for a long time, I decided to pay a visit to this well-established pizza joint. In the past, I recall Golden Boy being one of the best slice places in the Bay Area. The menu hasn't changed at all.

I ordered plain cheese and a slice of pesto. Despite a line of close to 10 people, the order was ready quickly. The staff definitely works efficiently.

The cheese slice was not great and seemed like it needed to be warmed for a few more minutes. The pesto was in fact, not pesto, it turned out to be a slice of combination that was cooked too long. The bottom crust of the pizza was too hard and crunchy.

Honestly, I'm disappointed in the quality of the pizza. I remember it being much better. Maybe it was just an off day?“

“Good fresh comfort food, warm friendly family business“

“Worth the drive across the city from the Mission to eat here. It was a little cool outside so we were glad to find there was a table for 4 inside.

Our group of four shared 2 starters, 3 pizzas and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious. Favorites--marinated tomato starter, spicy San Marzano pizza, and Panna Cotta with fig“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Lovely evening at La Ciccia. We came here almost two decades ago, before having children. It was nice to be back. We loved the appetizer of bottarga and celery salad, and the dessert of ricotta and marmalade. We liked but weren’t awed by the lamb steak and the squid ink fregola, but that might be a matter of taste. Service was exceptional. Grazie mille per una serata speciale!“

“Excellent fresh, speedy, abundant and delicious service!☺️“

“Mensho is definitely not worth the wait in my opinion. The line is usually 45min-1hr long. Coupled with the fact that parking is hard to find and the restraunt is tiny and cramped, you are better off going to marufuku or hinodeya.

I had the spicy GKO. Compared to the other garlic ramen I have had in ramenagi this was ok. The chasu is belly slices like marufuku and not the spiral rolled belly cross section which I prefer since it falls apart more easily.

They don't give you a lot of toppings on the ramen. There is no ajitama or menma in the default. Given that the price point is higher than other sf ramens this doesn't seem like value for money.

Clearly other people disagree since there is a line out the door but also the restraunt is tiny so this could be artificial scarcity and the insta hype cycle.“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

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

“Great food and the best margaritas.“

“Amazing Food and great customer service!!!!!“

“Absolutely love the unique flavors they offer! From ube and black sesame to matcha, genmaicha, and adzuki bean, there’s always something interesting to try. The line can get pretty long, but it’s definitely worth the wait. I always make sure to stop by whenever I’m in the area!“

“🌟 NOPA San Francisco: A Bucket List Culinary Triumph! 🌟 Review by: The Bucket List Coach Webshow. I recently had the distinct pleasure of crossing a major culinary destination off my bucket list: NOPA San Francisco. My dining experience on December 12, 2025, was not just a meal; it was an absolute masterclass in hospitality and farm-to-table excellence. Exceptional Service: A Shoutout to Zach! From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Zach. He truly went above and beyond, anticipating needs and offering spot-on recommendations, making the dining experience feel incredibly special and seamless. A massive shoutout to Zach, as well as the entire Culinary team, Management team, and staff—the level of coordination and passion was palpable. Appetizers and Beverages: Instant Classics The meal kicked off with the Date and Pear appetizer, which was absolutely fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and texture. And for the beer lovers out there, you must try the Honey Beer 🍺. I'm officially adding this to my personal "Beer Bucket List!" I will absolutely be recommending it to all my followers on my podcast and through my travel agency. Thanks to Woods Beer and Wine Company! The Entrée: Perfection on a Plate For the main course, I opted for the Duck, and it was cooked to perfection. Seriously, melt in the mouth- tender meat was phenomenal. The plate presentation was stunning, far exceeding my expectations—it was a true work of art. The side of Grapefruit and Vinaigrette Salad was the perfect accompaniment. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in San Francisco; the brightness of the grapefruit cut through the richness of the duck beautifully. Desserts: Celebrating National Cocoa Day! To celebrate National Cocoa Day Dec. 13th-I couldn't resist. I highly suggest partaking in the Hot Chocolate for a decadent dessert item—it was rich, velvety, and a perfect holiday treat. And if you still have room, the Cheesecake with Brown Sugar is another truly fantastic dessert that offers a wonderful, comforting finish to the meal. NOPA is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. The ambiance, the incredible staff like Zach, and the impeccable, thoughtful food quality solidify NOPA as a must-visit spot in San Francisco. It earns its place on any serious foodie's bucket list Cindy Lee Podcast Host at Bucket List Coach Web Show & Founder of Bucket List Coach Travel Tours“

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

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

“Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Love these pastries 😊“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“Had a luncheon @ Perbacco with my 9 coworkers and Manager to say “goodbye & farewell” to a retiring coworker and “welcome” to a new coworker. Started with a round of hors d'oeuvre’s. The thin sliced veal with a sauce and capers was delicious! The fried shrimp, veggies and olives/anchovies…also with a sauce was awesome as well. For my main, I had CRESTE DI GALLO - semolina pasta - wild mushroom ragu - spinach - ricotta salata. Our waiter was the best! I saved one of the sugar cookies from my deserts…Burnt Carmel Gelato. Mentioned it to our waiter and as we were leaving, I heard “Sir! Sir!” He brought me one of their meringue cookies to also share with my partner! I thought that was just awesome! Top notch food and customer service. We’ll be back!“

“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!“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“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!“

“It's amazing, I highly recommend everyone to go here“

“tasting menu was amazing. service was top notch.“

“EVERYTHING!:)✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️“

“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“Excellent food! The prix fixed tasting menu was very generous and delicious. We were stuffed!“

“We returned to this restaurant twice during our visit to SF, it was that good. Very much enjoyed the garlic soy chicken wings, salmon eggs benedict, kimchi, bulgogi, pimped up ramyun, and of course the bacon.“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“Great place to get shareable plates. We were a group of 3 mildly hungry ladies who ordered 5 items and left satisfied, but not stuffed. Every plate I've ever had here has been unique and flavorful. How lucky we are to have such a wonderful plant-based restaurant here in the Castro.“
