50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Francisco

“Absolutely fantastic.

Great quality, flavor, and good presentation on food. Highly recommend their salsa verde on just about anything. Superb. My favorite: Chilaquiles with ham, verde sauce. You won’t regret it.

Friendly, family feel staff, quick food, clean environment, atmosphere not too loud though when full it can get moderate.“

“An absolute SF classic that lives up to the hype! The English cut prime rib was perfectly aged, tender, and juicy, spun tableside from the silver dome cart—pure theater. Loved the Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, and that massive baked potato. Cocktails are strong and old-school. The retro vibe with white tablecloths feels like stepping back in time. Reservations essential, but it's worth it for a special occasion meat-lover's feast.“

“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.“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

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

“We waited about 25 minutes in line on a Wednesday evening and another 20 or so for the food, but in the end it was worth it.

The toasted carne asada burrito was outstanding, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t usually go for burritos. I really liked that it didn’t include rice. The meat was flavourful and everything tasted incredibly fresh.“

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.“

“Holy Schnike!!! The food is incredibly delicious, the non-seafood versions I am getting are the most amazing tastes. The Wines paired with the dishes are inspired and spot on.“

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

“Great sushi place on Polk. Nice bar counter seating. A few other tables. Intimate setting. Food is fresh and innovative. Great wide selection of different fish to choose from. Sushi chefs are informative and friendly. Only downside is parking is difficult in the area. Take Uber!“

“Great tasty stop at the end of the day. Love the friendly staff“

“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.“

“Lovely meal, beautiful in the plate and palate and attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The star left off for ambience is for the cold breeze that hit us every time the door opened and the (ahem) nonfunctioning toilet (which staff was alerted to and prepared to address).“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

“What a special evening. From the moment we walked in the door, the staff was very attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. You could feel the love for California and Mexican heritage from the decor to the the ingredients to the serving dishes. The service was well-paced and the food was amazing and unique. Their savory flan, all three tacos, and ice cream were some of my personal favorites. Lot's of little surprises made my birthday experience warm and memorable. Louis, the GM, was a pleasure to talk with and he made us feel like VIPs. Meeting Chef Val and a few of the team members in the kitchen was the highlight of our night! We will definitely be back!“

“We arrived at 4:50pm on a rainy Sunday and waited ~45mins to get seated (group of 3). The restaurant’s capacity can accommodate 28 guests and they were very efficient with their process (i.e. they took note of group size in line, made sure people reviewed the menu before getting seated, and they had an one-hour limit). Our service was quick. We had both the signature and spicy versions of Tori Paitan, and spicy lamb ramen. Also an order of their seasonal Hokkaido uni and A5 wagyu hand roll. The broth of all 3 ramens was rich, full of umami. Spice added more to the flavor but almost non-existent on the heat front. Chashu was a great balance of fatty part and meat. The fried shaved carrots and eggplant in the lamb ramen were such a pleasant touch to the bowl of perfectly chewy ramen. The A5 wagyu was buttery and melted in your mouth good. Uni was just okay - I had higher expectations with Hokkaido uni. The sushi rice was a bit on the dry side as well. All being said, I’d still say this is a place I would return.“

“The restaurant was very loud, and it was very difficult to hear our server, not to mention each other.! The food was excellent - we shared several vegetarian dishes that we enjoyed, however, the one non vegetarian dish we had (the octopus) was pungent and tough. Unfortunately, our server didn't check back with us to ensure we were satisfied with our selections. Even so, our experience was overall good, but with more attentive service, it could have been great.“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“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!“

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

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

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“Food was very tasty and well prepared, staff attentive and responsive, ambience is perfect“

“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, attentive and knowledgable service made for a memorable first night in San Francisco!!!!“

“The ingredients, the flavors, they're all top-notch.“

“We ordered Burrata cheese Arugula Anchovies, Baby Octopus stew, Seafood Squid Ink fregola Seared Lamb The lamb entree was delicious and the portion size was generous. Burrata cheese Arugula Anchovies salad was kind of oily They charged couple dollars extra for each order if you compare with their menu it was nice to get on house muscatel The service was good.“

“We loved our long lunch at Zuni Cafe during a recent SF trip. We sat upstairs next to the window. The chicken & bread salad is amazing. The NA cocktails and NA wine are delicious, as were the alcoholic options. Service was lovely. Highly recommend if you have time to linger over a meal.“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

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

“Nepa graciously accommodated our reservation of 15 mixed age revelers. The hospitality and service were top-notch, they allowed for special wines brought in with corkage, and helped pace the meal, which was served family style at our request. Loved the tikka masalas, the naan, chai - everything we ordered. We so appreciated all our gracious servers. We will be back.“

“Best Omakase in town.“

“An absolute must-stop if you’re anywhere near Inner Sunset. Also totally worth it if you have go an hour out of your way.
Sourdough croissants! Brilliant. Flawless scones that are delightful crunchy and melt-away all at once. Memorable savory breadsticks and focaccia, perfect coffee-cake, cookies and exceptional bread loaves with daily changing variations that are, literally, all listed on a monthly calendar on the website.
Enjoy.“

“Sublime French cuisine in an awesome location. Great “secret” spot in SF.“

“Amazing savory breakfast/brunch option. It looked like it was popular spot for locals/regulars.
I did the pork skewers and it melted in my mouth!
The very kind man taking our orders also sent us off with a dessert snack. As we headed out we overhead a convo and it seems like this sweet business helps give food to people in need. Im a fan of this place and will have to come back when I visit again.“

“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.“
