50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Venice

“We had the Caeser salad and their famous burger. The burger is REALLY good. The patty’s meat quality is excellent and of a large size. The burger is tasty and juicy. They have a good selection of wines. We had a skin contact wine that paired really well with our meal.“

“Exquisite creative brunch!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“Such a beautiful and amazing place! the food was superb and the service was top-notch. The only downside is that it gets crowded and even though we had a reservation we had to wait for 15 minutes. Overall, I recommend visiting at least once!“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“My food and cocktail was genuinely some of the best I've ever had but the portions sizes for the price is very poor. I had the rendang mamuk with the nasi ayam rice. For $46 for the both (yes they are seperate, 42 for the meat, 4 for the rice), I felt the rice should've been included or have at least a bigger portion.“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“All around great restaurant“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

“This is my wife's favorite sushi spot. It's not traditional sushi more American style has a very cool vibe. The bar is pretty cool. A little bit pricey in the range of $25 to $30 per roll and you don't get too much food, but it's a great place to just chill out and grab a snack and have a drink“

“Dinner ,breakfast coffee, staff were so friendly and welcoming“

“OWA Venice is an absolute gem — fun, stylish, and full of amazing people and energy. From the moment we walked in, we felt the vibrant atmosphere and were surrounded by beauty in every sense.

I have to give a special shoutout to Camila, who has been nothing but amazing since the days of Belles Beach. She continues to be the same incredibly kind, genuine, and radiant person. Seeing her again at OWA and experiencing her warmth made the night even more special.
And Amir, what an incredible host! He and Camila went above and beyond to make me and my friend feel welcomed and celebrated. Their energy, care, and attention truly made it a night to remember. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I’m new to this not true to this lol. I never had Mortadella and it being pork scared me. I still ordered the La Paradiso (Mortadella, Stracciatella, Pistachio Cream, & Pistachio crumbles) bc WTH right? And I enjoyed it. It’s not like OMG but it feels really nice and comforting to eat. I’m glad I left it alone and didn’t substitute for Turkey! I would definitely buy again. The pistachio cream is very light but flavorful along with nuttiness and I never had such combination with a savory bread.

I know I’m going to be thinking about it for days. It leaves a nice after taste lol! It is $20 but it’s a big sandwich. I think it’s worth the price. Quality ingredients!“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“Excellent service and Food. It was Dine LA so we ordered that menu and the food was coursed out. Absolutely superb! What a great way to sample the chef’s specialties. Our waiter was the best!!!! Looking forward to dining again.“

“Marlene was so lovely! A true hole in the wall and George puts care into the food! Their house made salsas & sauces are incredible, highly recommend the salsa verde and the green crema! (Can't go wrong with any tbh) Get the fish taco too!!! Can't wait to go back ❤️ ✨“

“Food is Amazing and Staff treats you like family. Been goung here since 1996 . My Favorite is the Chicken Enchildas with Hreen Sauce.“

““The sandwiches were so good, the place was so nice! We had a great time » Paul 9 years old

Excellent family time! We wanted to eat everything!! The soups, sandwiches, salads, desserts... the quantities are very generous and the atmosphere excellent.
One of our holiday favorites.?“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

“This is a clear cut greek cafe. Very clean and nice decor as you walk in. You wouldn’t expect it from the plaza.

As for the food: I got the chicken bowl. Everything was fresh, but nothing really stood out to me. Also quite expensive given the relatively average/small portion. Everything was good, the food was consistent and healthy. But nothing was truly “excellent”, so thats why i gave 4 stars. Nothing extra tasty, no incredible sauce, not a value meal pickup… there’s just something missing to take it to the next level.“

“The food and environment!“

“Fun place, great food/coffee , great energy without all the excessive pretentious weirdness. The most authentic and sincere business in that area.“

“Drove from Pasadena for a couple sliced brisket sandwiches. Well worth the drive. Always delicious.“

“Always the first place I go when I get to LA“

“En general todo está bueno, en lo personal el café👍“

“Had a great meal! Forwent ordering potstickers in order to try the enticingly named Gang of 4 ×4 - a delicious decision! The Mao's Hometown was just-right spicy, and I'm sure they put more than $2 extra shrimp on my order. Service friendly and prompt, loved the art. I felt as though I had wandered back into college in the early '70s.“

“Tried it yesterday. Stopped for a coffee and stayed for the outdoor seating. The cappuccino was excellent!“

“Wonderful atmosphere! My favorite place for breakfast. Staff are amazing and so friendly. They make you feel right at home!“

“Buena comida 🥘 buen lugar para una buena velada“

“What a hidden gem! I'm visiting from Idaho for a week and I popped into this place looking for a Coke. They had my favorite glass bottled Coke and I ended up grabbing a slice of pizza too. It was delicious! So good that I ended up going again again and we tried several other choices. Pretty sure I'm gonna squeeze in one more time before I go back home. Staff was very friendly too. I like the overall vibe.“

“Great selection on local beers . Really friendly staff , food looked amazing“

“restaurant right on Abbot Kenny beautiful cozy interior food menu and drink menu is very large. They divided into veggies, raw pasta, pizza, and mains so there is a lot of food to choose from but the waiters were very helpful. We especially like the pizzas.“

“I love the Waterfront. Great food and service, bogo happy hour, nice people and chill vibe“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant! 🥰“

“Disclaimer: This review is for a Yelp Elite event in conjunction with Lokal Venice.

Thank you @Lokal.Venice & @YelpLA for introducing me to this neighborhood gem. Sarah, Julia and the Westside Yelp team knocked another one out of the ballpark - the second this week!

Vanessa at the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. She contrasted that this location was full service with drinks and a more extensive menu.

I opted for the vegetarian and she directed me to the tofu lemongrass banh mi. I was already coffee’d out after opening day of dayglow coffee in Venice earlier in the AM, so I opted for Thai iced tea. It comes with 2 non dairy options, almond and oat. Vanessa made the dealers choice of oat milk.

It took less than 10 minutes to get a fresh banh mi, as we sipped the Thai iced tea that was out in a minute.

Thai iced tea was sweet but not too sweet, and oat milk made it less heavy than dairy. It had a refreshing quality to it, and that distinct flavor of tea.

What makes a good banh mi great is the baguette. This one had a nice crunch, had just the right amount of vegan mayo to not make it soggy. You know it’s legit when you get oodles of cilantro, jalapeño and that distinct sweet spicy kick of carrots and other veggies. The tofu was lightly fried and soaked in all the flavor. It wasn’t too lemongrassy but in combination with the bread and pickled veggies, packed a punch. Overall some of the better banh mi I’ve had. It tasted fresh and was satisfying. I really appreciated their choice of hot sauce that did not have additives and other nasty fillers.

Overall a solid experience when craving the Vietnamese French sandwich, which I do often. I will be back to try their burger and some of Vanessa’s favorites on the menu: Cubano, Korean bbq banh mi and the vegan burger.

Tip: The restroom is clean but needs a key.

Tip: Free parking in the strip mall lot
Tip: Check out the lunch special from 8 am to 4 pm. At $15 for OG Burger, fries and a beer it’s the best deal in town.“

“Offers quality Mexican food with a casual and welcoming vibe. It’s a BYOB spot, which is a nice bonus, and the service is impressively fast. The staff are friendly, understanding, and helpful, making the experience even better. Definitely“

“Unassuming and friendly little cafe just off the Venice Beach boardwalk - went there on a whim and so glad we did! Best vegan tacos I have ever had, and the acai bowl was delicious. Prices were reasonable, staff was super friendly, and this is the kind of little place every neighbourhood wants for their own. Definitely hope to come back for one more taco before we leave.“

“Last time I had a chippy that was this good when I was back home in January! So spot on to us British fantastic 10/10. Me and wife enjoyed it so much we took a large chips back to hotel with us.“

“Received a free sample at an event and I'm now hooked! Some of the best coffee I've ever had!“

“Cracking little bar… fantastic customer service and such a warm welcome.“

“Best prices in Venice Beach coolest staff on earth“

“This is another gem I take visitors to all the time, mostly for a late breakfast. I come here for 20+ years. I gotta be honest: If you are looking for the best ... whatever food .... in town, don't bother to go. This place is about atmosphere and having a good time. The food is good, and we had an amazing time with our waiter Shilly yesterday - and left well fed and with $100 for the four of us fairly priced - given the location I would have expected more. Wow - five stars for OK food? Absolutely. In my very own rating scheme, it is mandatory for five stars that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to go to this particular place. And I did. Many times. And will do it again. We've been to the Ivy's in Beverly Hills the night before. It would be totally unfair to compare on a mere culinary basis. Go here - prepared to have a good time - and you will.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Best gluten free treats around! It's a small shop, but I love the vibe! I can't wait to order my birthday cake and party treats!! Parking can be tough at times...but street parking is available!“

“🥙☕️💜I am an avid taco lover. We had never been to this adorable Taco Restaurant in Venice Beach before.
The first thing I noticed was how clean it was.
I was now anxious to have my fave food in life - beef tacos! THEY WERE out of this world.
Our entire family enjoyed the food & a quaint ambience. The Coffee is excellent as well.
I give this “Young Kid Shop”’ 5 stars! Because, if it is not on the Menu, I would bet my life Miss NADIA would not only make it, it would be absolutely delicious!
It is the cutest little beach taco shop on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Check it out.
💟🥙🏖️“

“Super déco et très bonne nourriture . Un vrai régal . On a adoré“

“Pretty delicious breakfast burritos for a small lil cafe in a hotel. Service was a bit slow at first but overall a nice time. Lattes were good too!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian GF was able to find things she wanted / restaurant was friendly about swapping out meat“
