50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Francisco

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

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

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

“Shrimp noodle roll - excellent
Glutinous rice & chicken dumpling - excellent
Crispy shrimp & meat tofu skin roll - good, would have been excellent if it's a tad saltier
Siumai - good but not outstanding
House special pan fried noodle - good with premium proteins
Dry-fried string bean - ok, a bit overcooked
Coffee-glazed baby back pork ribs - not good, the sauce was ok but the ribs had very little meat and not crispy enough on the outside. Koi Palace makes a much better version.

The prices were on the expensive side for dim sum. Service was excellent. Waiting to get into the (only) restroom required lots of shuffling to make ways for staff going in/out of the kitchen and cashier's stand.“

“The food was excellent, everything tasted so good and fresh, I loved their molletes and chilaquiles, I never tried before a chilaquiles with habanero sauce but it was super good, their cafe de olla was great as well. They have friendly staff.“

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

“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!“

“Aziza was an amazing experience! The atmosphere is beautiful, serene, and upscale. We were able to get a same-day reservation. The staff was even kind enough to move us to an earlier seating time.

Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and did a great job explaining the menu, particularly food allergies for our daughter. The main dishes took a little while to arrive, but our waiter explained that the cornbread is prepared that way to make it extra moist—and it was totally worth the wait! Every dish was unique and delicious. Ordered the roasted cauliflower, grilled octopus, short ribs, and buttered cornbread. The wines were perfectly chilled and crisp. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“We found this place by asking where the best burritos were. Everyone we asked said to come here. You will wait in a long line but it moves fast and absolutely worth the wait! We got ours to go but there is some inside seating. Hands down the freshest most delicious burrito I've ever had. They are huge!“

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

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

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“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.“

“When paying for the food, I had to choose or enter a tip amount. Since it was a takeout order, I didn't really have to leave anything. But I decided to give a 10% tip ($3.05) just to say, 'Please take good care of my order' haha. And wow, it totally paid off!“

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

“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😃😋“

“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.“

“Really just a phenomenal spot. Took a gamble the first time after a load out on the way to the airport; could really sit here and eat sushi all day. Very nice waiter/host that I remember both times - everyone was so welcoming. Local tofu appetizer was excellent. Every piece of fish I wanted more of especially the sea trout; exceptionally fresh and also well cut / not too large of a piece especially with the sashimi. Can’t wait to be back in the area so i can visit again“

“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.“

“Great ramen.

We got the Signature Toripaitan, one original and one spicy. It was good, plenty of food and excellent flavor. It's a small and cozy restaurant, wouldn't recommend for large crowds. Get their early, pretty much at opening time or else be prepared to wait outside.“

“Needed a splurge by myself. Sat at the bar and ordered off the full menu. Bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Went with their wine suggestions since I was drinking by the glass, and both wines were delicious and well suited to the food.

The food, by the way, was excellent. Had the buckwheat tartine, lots of interesting flavors! The two-way duck was tasty in two preparations, one more tender and the other a bit more spiced.“

“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.“

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

“Went here as a solo diner and had a wonderful experience! I loved most of the dishes, with the standouts being the savory flan and the mole with quail. A couple of the dessert dishes fell short for me, but overall this was one of the best meals of my life. I did feel a bit too full around halfway through the meal — perhaps the pacing was a bit too fast for me, or there were too many filling dishes in the middle. The service was amazing, very attentive and kind wait staff. They even cleaned and boxed my abalone shell for me after I asked to keep it. Overall, I’m really happy to have experienced this meal. Thank you Californios!“

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

“Great food and ambience here!“

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

“Gitesh was the most thoughtful server, service was top notch - no complaints. The food tastes amazing and my friend concurred that it was authentic. There is plenty of space to sit, and everything is clean. Will definitely be coming back to eat more tasty food.“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“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!“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

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

“I first heard about this place because Zendaya once mentioned it as one of her favorite spots in the Bay Area. After visiting, I can definitely see why it’s so popular. The bakery was busy, the bread was fresh, pastries were still warm, and everything smelled amazing. Whenever I visit a new bakery, I always order a croissant because that’s my way of judging how good a bakery is. This time, I got the chocolate croissant and a carrot muffin. The chocolate croissant was good, but not the best I’ve had in the Bay. I wish it had been flakier, with more layers and a richer buttery flavor. The carrot muffin was okay too. My mom liked it, but it just wasn’t my favorite. That said, the prices are affordable, and it’s still a solid bakery overall. So, I’d still stop by if I were in the area.“

“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!“

“Great facility and staff for hands-on culinary skills learning.“

“Best Omakase in town.“

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

“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 breakfast and fast service Thank you ♥️♥️“

“Lovely atmosphere and service from the hostess to our servers. Menu is unique yet simple. Great for vegetarians looking for finer menu. Every bite was flavorful and delicious!“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“Iconic SF bistro famous for wood-fired roast chicken. Fresh seasonal local ingredients, laid-back casual vibe. Copper bar and warm lighting make it great for casual dates or small group meals. Service steady, totally a classic Bay Area spot you shouldn’t skip.“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“What a great little find! It was great food. When I asked for a suggestion on wine; our waiter was so nice and asked me a few questions as to what I liked and gave me a great Pinot I loved! No judgements on my lack of familiarity with wines. The squid ink sauce was incredible!!!!“

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