22 Best Vegan Restaurants near San Simeon

“We had a very long tiring trip through the mountains just to get to our lodge in Lucia because we had to avoid the landslide closure on Hwy 1. It was exhausting driving, then 2 hours at the Hearst Castle where you aren’t allowed to eat or drink anything. .. no coffee anywhere on our route… just to find out the castle cafe was closed when we got back from the tour. I said all that to say this.. The young man behind the counter was closing and the look on my face must have spoke to him because he quickly told me he would make us food and me an Americana.. first his kindness brought tears to my tired eyes and secondly that coffee was THE BEST I’ve had. The hot sandwiches and fresh salad were delicious and the portions were large. We took half of it back up the lodge to eat later. This one decision by him to accommodate me and my grandsons completely turned this stressful day into a much better one. The cafe and store were clean, bathrooms were clean and easily accessible. The staff were friendly and helpful and the area around the cafe and store is peaceful and attractive. Plenty of parking and the walkways were easy to navigate. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to visiting again.“

“What a gem! Fabulous in every way. Madeline's has a wonderful menu and wonderful wine list highlighting boutique Paso Robles wines.

For lunch we enjoyed the mushroom-sage soup special and the Nicoise and Duck Confit salads.

All of theses dishes are marked gluten free on the menu, which is essential for people with celiac disease like me.

Next time we visit this part of the coast, we will definitely return. Dinner might even be the point of a trip!“

“So, we originally stopped at Robin's but were told they were short staffed and there would be at least a 10 minute wait. There appeared to be empty tables everywhere though. So, we headed around the corner to Creekside Garden. The staff was friendly and helpful. The patio was comfirtable and welcoming. The found was so very good. My husband had a turkey fresno cheese sandwich with fries. The peppers were cooked perfectly for the sandwich and the fries yummy. I had beef fres.o and cheese sandwich with potato salad . The meat was perfect, peppers delicious and the potato salad was amazing. We will be back as the experience was better than we've had at Robin's.“

“Had lunch with a friend there the other day and I loved how fresh everything was. The chef came out and greeted us which is always a great experience. Everything was done old school there which I can really appreciate. Pasta was delicious! Attended a 🎶concert 🎶there last night. It was a fun night with great music by Jill Knight and Giovanni did a super job at providing a special menu for the evening. ♥️“

“After over 20 years of visiting, we stumbled on Lillys! What a great place for breakfast! Such a relaxed atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. We had the ham and cheese quiche today. Light and delicious! The staff there are great. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in. I could've just hung out there for hours. Absolutely loved the patio. Plenty of seating. We look forward to our next visit there (tomorrow morning!) 😊“

“Went here for the first time tonight . I have always wanted to try this place so a few of my friends came here tonight . The mimosa’s are outstanding you get so many choices and flavors . A total 10 in my book . We each had a meal . One friend had the fish and chips and she said they were goof . I myself had the veggie burger which was excellent. My friend had the special turkey melt she said it was really good .definitely will be back for more mimosas. Highly recommend you try it .“

“so yummy!! love the wet burritos!❤“

“Excellent food and service.“

“The eggplant parmesan was delicious! The restaurant makes their own vegan cashew cheese, and it is rich, creamy, and flavorful. So much better than the fake options usually available. My husband had the same dish with chicken and real cheese. He loved his as well! Any restaurant that can mail a vegan dish and a meat dish… well, that’s a treat!!!“

“Visited on Christmas Eve. Just a heads up that this is a takeout-only spot. The food was delicious—it has a real homemade comfort food vibe rather than a standard commercial restaurant taste. The Chicken Satay was a highlight; the flavor was excellent. Highly recommend if you are looking for a comforting meal in Cambria!“

“The food! The food! The food!! Absolutely amazing Italian food! My new favorite restaurant and they have set the bar high. The staff is excellent also. Great service, very attentive and knowledgeable, From here on out I refuse to go to Cambria unless it includes a meal at Lombardi’s! I will definitely be back 😂“
