50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Francisco

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.“

“It was our first time and we were definitely pleased. Everything was delicious!“

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

“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.“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“The cafe de olla (free refills:) and mole chilaquiles were phenomenal. I probably shouldn't ask if the mole is vegetarian 🤭. Apparently you can get avocado instead of meat! Service was pretty friendly if a little overworked - it took a few minutes to be acknowledged and I asked for water which took several minutes to bring. A little warm inside, so they left the door open, which meant a couple flies. No wait but the place was pretty full at 1pm on a nice September Friday. Excellent food and I felt the prices were fair for a well-made brunch. My food was ready fairly quickly and they turned tables pretty fast. Seemed like the place was full of happy, satisfied eaters and several regulars. They also appear to do a decent take-out business. Thankfully it was a pretty quiet atmosphere, no blaring music.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a super crispy super burrito. It was very delicious. The avocado was very good and I love the fact that there is no rice in the burrito. Would definitely recommend. There was a line for sitting but I took it to go. The wait wasn't too bad.“

“Highly recommended. The almond croissant at Arsicault is something truly special.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“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😃😋“

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

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

“Simple, Delicious and Friendly!
Stopped by Golden Boy Pizza and tried their Veggie Pizza in a small size — and it absolutely hit the spot! Tasty, fresh, and just the right amount of satisfying.
What made the experience even better was the staff courteous, helpful, and genuinely great at walking you through the options and recommendations. A small touch that goes a long way!
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. 🍕“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. My friends from NYC enjoyed their dinners as well. Will definitely be back!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This incredible place offers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you step inside. The food was simply exceptional, and the wine pairing was absolutely amazing. Friendly advice: skip lunch before going to dinner here, as you’ll be so full, unlike other places where you leave hungry. Highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

“I cannot say I had a bad experience. Everything was my favorite“

“The outdoor area is hooded, though you can still occasionally feel the draft. The restaurant staff was very friendly and welcoming to our pups, and they arranged our seats in a corner so the dogs could use more space to rest. The food is exquisite as usual. We especially love all the seafood dishes.“

“Cozy place for breakfast in town. Good foods mixture between American and Thai highly recommend friendly service .“

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

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

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Fun experience here. We sat at the bar, and I overheard many customers asking who’s working or customers greeting the staff. Definitely felt like the staff is well known in this neighborhood and has a lot of regular customers. Great to see.

The menu is awesome. Very cool and caught me by surprise as I grew up as a wrestling fan. It felt nostalgic and made it fun to choose a drink.

It seemed like a seasonal or rotating menu since I heard the bartender say this was our new menu. The Andre the Giant drink was the best of the three we ordered (Roddy Rowdy Piper and Rey Mysterio).

The charred cabbage was great. Never thought I would order a cabbage dish, but the description made it appetizing.

They also played great classic hip hop music.“

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

“The food here is absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this little gem in the Lakeside neighborhood enough. Reasonable prices as well as many menu choices. Do yourself a favor and go there and sample everything, you will be very glad you did.“

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

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

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

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

“You cannot find better seafood in San Francisco. I have lived here for 20+ years and this restaurant is consistently in my Top 5 every year. The only reason it’s not a 4.8 or 4.9 is that people grow frustrated with waiting for a table. Good things come to those who wait. The wait is worth it and very egalitarian. Sign me up for this special treat anytime!“

“Great place to relax and enjoy great food and service in Haight- Ashbury! Very welcoming -“

“The pizza was amazing! Thin crust, and great combination of toppings. Lines can be long, but they also have so many great options for baked goods in the bakery. We got there late so most things were sold out except the pizza, but we definitely will be back to try more. There is limited outdoor seating with some benches outside.“

“Leurs salades Le service Le PATIO a l’arrière 👍👍“
