50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Ventura

“Best vegan food in Ventura county. I love their avocado sushi, it beats anything I’ve ever ordered from a Japanese restaurant! Menu is huge and there’s something for everyone. Service is excellent, the staff work so hard and are very kind. I prefer to get takeout or have it delivered.“

“The food is so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant, and the people are very friendly.“

“The food and service are outstanding. Try the catfish or the curried salmon for an out of the ordinary Thai dish. The old standbys -- Pad Se Ew with tofu, green curry with chicken, massamen curry with beef, or spicy eggplant are all fresh and well prepared with stir fried vegetables in portions large enough to share.“

“This place is all natural. I stumbled on this cute shop via instagram. The vibe makes you feel like you traveled to the caribbean and left california temporarily. There was a lady trying out samples of the juices while i was there and she couldnt stop talking about how good the santa rosa juice was. I highly recommend getting the dirty monkey smoothies. They offer acai bowls, juices, smoothies and cleanse programs. The employees are very sweet and kind. Free small parking lot. Reasonable prices. Dont forget to sign up for their reward programs as well.“

“big O effing portions GOOD STUFF“

“Lure Fish House is one of my go-to happy hour spots. Happy hour runs Monday–Friday from 3:00–6:00 pm and Sunday from 11:30 am–5:00 , which is honestly elite timing.

First of all, the complimentary bread deserves its own shoutout. Warm, comforting, and dangerous in the best way.

I’m obsessed with their oyster bar, especially the Grassy Bar oysters and the charbroiled oysters. I always order the house-made chowder 50/50, it’s half Classic New England and half Veracruz fish chowder. It’s rich, flavorful, and truly the best of both worlds.

I’m a big fan of their shared plates, which is where Lure really shines. Favorites include the bacon cheddar biscuits with whipped honey goat cheese, crab cakes, and a classic Caesar salad that never disappoints. Everything is well-executed and perfect for sharing.

Their specialty cocktails are also worth ordering and pair well with the food, especially during happy hour.

The vibe is lively but not overwhelming, making it perfect for after-work drinks or a casual dinner with friends. I personally love sitting at the bar or oyster bar, it’s the best way to experience the space. Service has always been friendly and efficient,

Parking is easy too. Free parking is available in the structure behind the restaurant, which is a huge plus in downtown Ventura.

I honestly never make it to dessert because I’m always completely full, and that says a lot. Consistent, welcoming, and a solid go-to for seafood and happy hour in Ventura.“

“The food was really fresh and delicious.“

“By far best Indian food and restaurant in Ventura tried almost everything on the menu food quality and service is great . They also have South Indian specialties like Satbir masala dosa , and uttapam as well.“

“I have to say this place is an amazing find and treasure. My husband was stationed in Greece for two years and while he was there we travelled to visit. While there we had some amazing food and oh boy do we miss it. Nothing compares to authentic Greek Cuisine and this place has it. From the Gyro to the bakery items, this place made me feel like I was back in Greece. I definitely recommend trying it out and falling in love. We will be forever customers ❤️“

“Ventura is filled with God breakfast restaurants, but this place is the OG of great breakfast. I've been coming here about 40 years, and never disappoints. Complimentary Swedish pancake is a great touch. Plus, Pepper plant on the table - nobody else does this. Don't know what it is? You don't know what you're missing.“

“Hands-down, the greatest pepperoni pizza you can ever have. Full bar, great beer selection, great outdoor seating, what else can you ask for?“

“We had dinner tonight 10/24 @cafe zack. I made reservation for 6 pax. We seated in the patio and it was beautiful. I ordered rack of lamb (forgot to take photo). I ate every bit. We had Ceasar salad and the rest of the group ordered cowboy rib eye and fettuccine seafood curry. We had the desserts. Everything was delicious. It was our first time and cafe zack didn't disappoint us. We definitely comeback on December 26 for my birthday!“

“We enjoyed the fried pickles and sandwiches. Fish tacos were also delicious.“

“I gotta say it was my first time trying this taco spot in Ventura. the tacos was super deelish, fresh guac and chips, and the rice was Soo good😋 follow your taste buds!!! I highly recommend try this place out if you haven't already you won't be disappointed!!!“

“As soon as I walked into the beautiful shop the delightful smell of chocolate hit me. These handmade chocolates are like pieces of art. Not only are they gorgeous, they are delicious! The unique flavors change with the seasons. A box of Ex Votos are the perfect treat or a gift.“

“Love the Báhn mi sandwiches here. I always get the grilled tofu and it’s great - generous amount of tofu and delicious fresh bread. Service is excellent, and their new expanded shop is amazing. Lots of tables to eat inside and nice decor. Recommended 👍👍🫶“

“I was first introduced to Bright Spark In March at the Ventura Beer Experience. We talked with a lovely couple behind the table and tasted Day Trip, which has become my all-time favorite. We were introduced to a concept called Musical Bingo that day, and I was delighted to make my first visit to the brewery on my 55th birthday in May. Every single one of the employees there was kind, gracious, and warm. The food was absolutely amazing and the Musical Bingo is so much fun! I have since been dragging people left and right there and recommending you guys because of what a great laid back family-friendly atmosphere it is. I will be back again and again and again. and I will bring everyone I can with me! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“Great food Just a couple suggestions: 1. Offer senior discounts please 2. Lunch specials please🙏🙏“

“Our first time eating here and it definitely won’t be the last!!! Tamales were spectacular“

“Great food the Bangers and mashers were delicious!!“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“I live in Branson,MO but when I come to CA. I have to eat there as much as possible.“

“After having the opportunity to eat there with crew and clients we can say that, at least our order of the Scampi ; Depicted; we will be coming back again to try other menu options. The portions were sizeable enough to take some home if you haven't decided to take a beach walk beforehand. The prices are fair assuming you know that you're getting quality grade seafood by the beach; with a stellar view of the harbor we may add.“

“We had so much fun in the cave! Me and Toothless were in the cave and we were asleep and Toothless is already snoring and Toothless is in hibernation and Toothless Watches Over Me in my sleep and Toothless and he has his snores. Luna woke up and the Snowstorm and I had Toothless.“

“Always a must stop for us when we visit Ventura! Love the fact that there chunks of coconut in the pina colada. Always fast and friendly service. Just wish they had one here locally.“

“We've been trying to get in there since we got our house up the street. A+++ all the way. Great pancakes!! Staff is very friendly...not fake, but down to earth real neighborly friendly. Looking forward to sampling the corned beef on Wednesdays, and the Fried Chicken and Waffles 🧇 😋 👌“

“Little neighborhood mexican restaurant with friendly atmosphere. Ordered the Carne Asada Nachos and they were Awesome!! More than enough for two to share and every chip was like a little mini-taco. Best nachos I've had in a very long time. Not the easiest place to find, but definitely worth the trek.“

“Delicious ice creams, lots of flavors, old ice cream shoppe feel.“

“Delicious food Great service Warm chips a d perfect fountain drinks!!!“

“I read reviews on the place and knew I needed a taiyaki cone! Super cute place, friendly staff and tasty treats!“

“😊Great healthy lunches. 😀😀“

“The spicy cheese fries are amazing!! So are the burgers and onion rings. My new favorite burger place 😊 And the staff is wonderful.“

“The busy bee café is a place to go eat you could eat indoor or outdoor. They wait on you as soon as you get in they are so nice it’s clean services top-of-the-line, and the food is more than top-of-the-line. Great food come in and get it I live in Santa Barbara and I go to eat there each time, I’m there in Ventura.“

“Great breakfast, bloody Mary's and staff!“

“I would drive across town for this food! Loved it 🫶“

“The most delicious açaí bowls around! Definitely worth the price. I highly recommend adding a splash of passion fruit to your bowl.

And oh my goodness, the empanadas *chefs kiss*.

Everyone who works there is so very friendly and patient.

I only gave 4 stars for the atmosphere only because it is just a regular place to sit and eat. They have plenty of tables and it is clean, but nothing overly fancy, which is fine since it suits the environment.“

“These guys really give great customer service, a little hidden gem right by the beach. Gotta try the tacos, gotta try everything... yeshua was great , good vibes for my Saturday, what a delight to have such great service.“

“Today was my first time giving Happy Place Eatery Food Truck a try, Great fast service, super friendly staff. I gotta say the smash burgers are rich, juicy, and full of delicious flavor and the fries are so crispy and yummy with ranch. Hands Down!!! Follow Your Tastebuds“

“Easily the best pizza on Main Street Ventura that I’ve had so far. We got a Vodka and Sausage pizza. It was excellent. The wait was about 20 minutes at the time. They did have individual slices you can buy. I would say that the pizza is nicer quality, which also means that the price is not cheap.“

“Food is great and best sunsets over the ocean“

“Kuu Sushi has rocketed to the top of the local sushi rankings for my wife and I. The service is warm and welcoming. The portions are generous and the fish is fresh. We’ve been happy with everything we’ve ordered.

It’s the best option in town for rolls. Their lunch menu is also a great value for the quality.“

“Our new favorite breakfast place“
