50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe

“Empanash is literally a hidden gem. Google maps took me to the parking lot nearby and there is no large signage for the place so it took a minute to locate it nestled in a little alley between other shops, but its cant-miss dining! I ordered all the vegetarian empanadas and also the Cinner Sweet desert empanada. They were all incredible and delicious! The staff was so friendly and genuine, I could tell they really enjoyed creating such delicious meals to share with others. Will be going back here for sure on future Tahoe visits!“

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

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

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“Yummy food, great beer, good service 😋🇩🇪“

“We went here for breakfast and already had a long line before our side. Luckily upon having the counter bar side available, we took that side so that we don’t have to wait for another long time.

Eggs Benedict 19.50
Omelette with Ham and Cheese 18.00
Coffee 6. 50
Overall with Tips $57.41

We thought the host of the cafe was attentive and friendly alongside Francis - she’s a very warm, attentive, and loving lady who also recommended us to try their special Eggs Benedict.

The Waitress took our order for us starting with coffee, Eggs Benedict, and Omelette with Ham and Cheese. Each meal served with hash browns, and mine came with an English muffin too.

We waited probably around 10-12mins, the Eggs Benedict came a bit later but not that much different from a wait.

What we loved about their breakfast, both weren’t too overpowering with flavours. And that we can simply add condiments when we want to.

The only downside was the coffee no kick of strong, bold and good flavour and aroma from the coffee - we felt just drinking flavoured drink. Also the ambience which can be a bit noisy around, especially, we came during the peak hours.

We want to give compliments to the staff, the cooks, and the overall service. We’re very pleased with the food. And special mention to Francis, her enthusiasm and energetic presence added value to the Red Hut Cafe.

Happy to come back and recommend 🤗“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’“

“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.“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“Every time we’re in Lake Tahoe we don’t leave without enjoying their Sushi 🍣“

“Five Stars!!! Great service and delicious food. Im a local and this place is a staple of my diet. Cheers! -Scotty“

“On our first visit to Tahoe we discovered Maggie's for dinner. Its cozy and intimate, boutique feel is a great atmosphere for a date night, anniversary or other special occasion. They have a good wine list and the sea bass and braised rib were wonderful! The menu isn't expansive but all the choices were very good, including the burrata starter. Service was friendly and attentive.“

“First timer. Ratings are on the mark. The food was delicious and the service was great. Street tacos had amazing flavor and the burrito was stuffed. Ask for extra “onions/cilantro” Nice change to the overpriced spots on the Main Street. We took “to-go” and walked to Lakeside beach for incredible view. Definitely coming back.“

“Best Bakery from the Nevada to South Lake Tahoe, and possibly all over Tahoe! Amazing family run bakery with quality savory and sweet treats! They also catered an amazing desert table this past weekend for a family event. My only complaint is the deserts were so good, they were completely gone by the end of the night and I wasn’t able to take any home. I guess my loss is everyone else’s gain.. next time I’m hiding some for myself.“

“Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!“

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

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“Totally amazing meal. Just the best in service and food.“

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

“We enjoyed everything we were served here! From the shrimp Chow Fun to the Eggplant in sweet and sour sauce, the dishes were cooked perfectly. The spicy chicken wings were crisp and flavorful with just the right amount of spice from the Serrano peppers. The bok choi, broccoli, and veggies we had were fresh and nothing was greasy. The noodles were great and we enjoyed the different meats we ordered. They season things well and nothing is overly sauced.

If you're looking for amazing food with wonderful service and hospitality, you'll enjoy this restaurant and the dining experience they provide. We will be back each time we come to Tahoe!“

“Great service, cute atmosphere, and extensive menu. We enjoyed our breakfast there.“

“Excellent Italian dinner with family on a weekend in South Lake Tahoe. What a great discovery! Conveniently on the boulevard, with a free parking lot at the rear and along the window front. Fully wheelchair accessible from parking / sidewalk with ramp. Called in for a reservation late afternoon, took a table at 7pm. We went there mid October, although during shoulder season the place was packed and many families were on a waitlist. Greeted by friendly, welcoming front desk and seated within minutes by helpful usher (booth table at the window). Server welcomed us, provided menu/drink list and explained the daily specials. Ice water, our drinks, and bread with olive oil were quickly served while we selected our dishes. We shared two appetizers, followed by mains and desserts. What a feast, can't remember when I had Italian comfort food that good. Tasty, delicious, hot plates and big portions. Yummy! At a great pace of being served, absolutely not being rushed. High five, highly recommended!!!“

“Omg! Recommended by a friend… pastor tacos on point! Hamburger with fixings delicious… but obviously tacos had me WINNER… pastor with pineapple 100% bomb… carne asada flavor… Carnitas had me at HELLLLOOOOO“

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

“Best Burgers 🍔 in Lake Tahoe🔥“

“While this restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside, what they serve within is spectacular and a new family favorite. Appetizers were out in under five minutes and the main course within an additional five minutes. Food was hot and fresh. General Tsao was the favorite at the table. Even got a show of a couple bears outside in the dumpster.“

“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.“

“This is a fun, family-friendly, dog-friendly place, with an ever-changing selection of fine beers brewed right on site. Seating inside and out.
They have a weekly trivia contest, and sometimes sponsor special events with outside food vendors and various expert artists and craftspeople.“

“We had them cater a welcome party for an estimated 80 people. Everyone on the phone was super helpful and very polite and nice. When my brother picked up the food the staff were very helpful and made sure we had everything covered tightly and secure and even gave us cardboard to protect the seats.

The food was delicious and everybody loved it! I will absolutely go back when I return to Tahoe.“

“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!“

“Went there my first time and it was a very good meal. I’ve tried the other place in SLT but this place is the best hands down!“

“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“

“Great atmosphere, def recommend“

“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.“

“Yellow Sub sandwich shop in South Lake Tahoe is THE absolute BEST made by hand sandwich there is!!
Every single person is so friendly and they wear the biggest smiles!!
I go there every Friday and let me tell you, my man and I LOVE our every sandwich filled with deliciousness!!!
Thank you Yellow Sub!!“

“Always consistently great food, every time!“

“We stopped at Super Tacos for a quick bite before heading to the Gondola. We each got 2 carne asada tacos and they were really good. I liked that they use 2 tortillas and cook the outer one a little more so the taco doesn’t fall apart—smart move.

I added guac to mine which was tasty, but the real winner was the green chili salsa… wow, so good and full of flavor. Service was fine, nothing amazing, but it’s an outdoor-only spot so it’s all about the food anyway.

I’d definitely come back and try a burrito next time.“

“Great food, service and restaurant.“

“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!“

“Good value in the food, beer not so much“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

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

“The classic Tahoe style pizzeria! Great atmosphere, cozy space and family friendly. Our soccer team had a party here and they were very hospitable to our group of loud and happy kids. Good price. Salad bar and games are always a bonus! Thank you! 🍕“

“Love the Red Hut waffle restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff! Great waffles! Will become a regular breakfast spot, when in South Lake Tahoe.“

“Super delicious and authentic Mexican restaurant. I believe they have two locations since the facade in the photo here is not this location, but this one is a sweet casual sit down or order to go spot that shared a building with a market as well. Got the Carne Asada and Pollo Asada Super Burritos and all three of the fresh salsas from the nacho bar and they were so delicious. Generous portions I think each burrito was like 2 lbs 😂. Would love to try other menu items. Service was so lovely as well!“

“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“

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

“Amazeballs food and fabulous waiter.“
