50 Best Vegan Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe

“Cheer's Atmosphere in South Lake Tahoe Tahoe!!!“

“Their food never disappoints. My husband would move to Tahoe for the tacos at Freshies alone. We come once a year for our anniversary and it’s a total experience, the food, the view, and the waiters and waitresses are always so nice. It’s an experience!“

“We cannot LOVE this place enough!! Food was AMAZING, staff was friendly and attentive! 10 ⭐️ review“

“Best empanadas I have ever had in my life. The owner is so kind and the recipes are from his grandmother. Can’t get much more authentic. Great place and location to stop in Tahoe. Please visit Empanash you won’t be disappointed!❤️ Beefed up empanada was my favorite.“

“Another great meal at the getaway. Managed to beat the tourist traffic today and discovered those vegetarian breakfast tacos. Always great!“

“The pizza was great… the service awesome! Basecamp is always a go-to when in Lake Tahoe!“

“Delicious bagels and coffee. Line was long but didn’t take long to move and worth the small wait“

“Great folks to work with. Thank you. We appreciate your support.“

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“This was an amazing find. Everything was wonderful from the service to the food. Highly recommend! If you can get a reservation, go!“

“Food was good. Service exceptional.“

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!“

“We enjoyed Red Hut for a 'brunch' morning meal. Eggs, hash browns, pancakes, french toast all nice and refills for tea and coffee too. The service was attentive enough and the decor felt traditional and homely which we liked. The portions are large (as expected!) but we were given a box to takeaway our leftovers. Overall - simple fare done well.“

“This is a good place for breakfast and lunch. However, the service is a bit confusing; they provide black coffee when you sit at the table. We wanted to order breakfast, but the server said, "I am not your server. Let me send you the right person." They simply left us without sending the server or whoever was responsible for taking our order. It was our first time there, so I don't know if this is a common occurrence. Everything else about the place is good.

Vegetarian options: For vegetarians, simply ask the server whether they can make it without meat.

Parking: We visited on Friday, so I'm not sure about the availability on the weekend.“

“Brian and Jill were great to work with!“

“Fish and Chips were the best. We split a plate and still had leftovers!“

“Excellent service and excellent food. The ambience was laid back for how good the food and service was. Delicious meal in a comfortable setting. Would highly recommend. We had a group of 4. Looked like the space could accommodate several large groups as well. The steamed mussels were remarkably delicious“

“Wonderful food, great service! Creative menu options and nice comfortable ambiance“

“I have eaten pizza in 32 states and I have to say Lake Tahoe Pizza Company crushes them all. My only complaint is I wish they had a location close to me.“

“Maria's was fantastic to work with and the food was wonderful. I lined up a fajita take out order for 14 people, for a wedding family dinner party. The communication was wonderful, no issues and the food was awesome. The quantity of food was more than we expected which made great leftovers.
Highly recommend.“

“Cool place to get a ☕️ and a little something for breakfast 👍“

“This place is a HIDDEN GEM!

My Family and I have been going to Tahoe for all of our lives and somehow we have missed this A+ Chinese Restaurant.

We were in the mood to try something new, and we decided on Chinese food. After we did a search on google, Hunan Garden caught our eye. With a wide range of food from hearty soups to flavorful dishes of rice, orange chicken, chow mein, shrimp (tons of different variations) and the list goes on!

The service was absolutely amazing! We never had to ask for drink refills, our waiter was constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything.

From the time we placed our order to receiving the food was fast. When it comes to portion sizes Hunan Garden doesn’t hold back. We order a variety of things to try out. We are a family of 5 but when the food came, it look like they were serving an army ?. The food tastes as good as it looks. Everything was cooked to perfection!

You can tell the workers have a lot of pride in what they do. Waiters giving A+ service, the cooks making amazing dishes, and to the busser making sure the restaurant is spotless and it was!

If you’re looking for an amazing Chinese restaurant look no further because Hunan Garden Restaurant is everything you’re looking for and more!“

“This wonderful little place checks all the boxes. 1) The food is great and reasonably priced. Our party of four for lunch ordered two pizzas and one pasta and nobody left hungry. Everything we ordered was delicious and my companions were genuinely impressed. The pizza menu has some great offerings you don’t see too often outside Italy, including arugula and prosciutto atop pizza. The pasta and sauces are made in-house by the owner from northern Italy as well!! The beer and wine list is small, but well curated with something for everyone. Even the espresso exceeded my expectations. 2) The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Even if you peek inside the open kitchen you’ll find everything clean, neat, and organized. 3) Most importantly, the staff, including the warm owners, are hospitable and welcoming. Everyone was kind and all of our needs were taken care of without our having to ask. A family with two younger children came in after us and they were given the same care and attention that we received. Our experience from the moment we walked in to the moment we left was top-notch and I can’t recommend the place enough.“

“We loved our cookie sandwiches! Delicious and was fun to create.“

“Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.“

“With reservations the wait was about 5-10 minutes. Beautiful dining area. The food was good. Wait time from order to table about 25 minutes. Sever was friendly. Coffee cup and water glasses sat empty for 15-20 minutes. Not terrible but needs a few tweaks for me to give an outstanding rating.“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

“Flour Girl Wedding Cakes are sooooo delicious!! I am so happy we decided to go with Sarah for our wedding. The entire experience from our tasting to our actual Wedding cake was beyond perfect. They have so many different flavor options & are so creative with their work. Sarah delivered everything on time for our Wedding & I never even had to stress it! I will definitely be ordering from them any time I am back in town!!“

“Thanks to chef David, and sevice man - professional Andrew(pollite guy))) - for prep. absolutely delicios broccoli beef, walnut shrimps, mushrooms - everything what we ordered, was melted on mouth. Sadly many years we were driving around, and just discovered such a nice place. God bless you guys!“

“Being a vegan in Tahoe is tough. I’m so happy I found this place. Great service and so many vegan options. We got the Rama tofu and Tom ka soup. I’ve been to many restaurants that aren’t able to make Tom ka vegan but Thai on Ski Run was!“

“5 Stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ My family and I just returned from a trip to Camp Richardson. We had such a great time. Beautiful this time of year. The staff was super accommodating, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous stay filled with so many memories! We will definitely be going back this summer.“

“Great local pizza place. We ordered a supreme and cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. We got our order to go and they were fast and the quality of the pizza was good. The lettuce on the Caesar salad was wilted and seemed like it had been sitting in the heat which may have just been us getting it for takeout. The dressing on the salad seemed homemade and we enjoyed it.“

“This place has great local coffee, but more important is the vibe here. Chill inside with the locals or sit outside and tilt your head back to look at the mountains on 3 sides. Order from the coffe shop or get Mexican food from next door. Either way you’ll be happy and you’ll want to stop again.

Parking: If the parking in the front is full there is plenty in the back right.“

“We got our wedding cake from Erin + 4 dozens of cupcakes for my FIL and niece's birthday celebration that same weekend. We ordered a 2 tier almond cake with fresh raspberry AND raspberry preserves, with a whipped cream frosting. For the cupcakes we got strawberry and chocolate with buttercream. THEY WERE ALL SO DELICIOUS!!!!! Our guests did not stop raving about the cake!

Erin was also incredibly responsive and helpful the entire time. We hope to order the same cake every year for our anniversary. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!!!“

“Always consistently great food, every time!“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“Great music fun bonfires and lights . I enjoyed the strawberry milkshake beer .“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

“😀Beautiful location, well-appointed bar and restaurant, very nice wine selection, and right next to the beach. We had my mom's 60th birthday here and it was lovely. Awesome views, well managed, great staff.“

“Bit of a wait for food and very busy. But totally worth the wait.“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

“Delicious! Definitely order the Guac and Chipotle tacos!“

“Great spot inside the BaseCamp. The people are fantastic!“

“Delicious food with healthy vegan and gluten-free options that satisfy the picky eaters in my family! Lots of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Conveniently located in Meyers.“

“They play one heck of a game of backgammon!“

“I love their happy hour with so many delicious food choices.“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“me and my wife went there on July 6th as we were spending the day in South lake Tahoe I've had a lot of Mexican food even from Tijuana and this is one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had me and my wife both agreed and they're jalapeno sour cream on point very good I'd like to say thank you from me and my wife for the best breakfast burrito we ever had“
