50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Ventura

“A beautiful friendly restaurant with a unique and delicious menu and drinks.“

“VEGAN SUSHI! The BEST vegan sushi I have ever had in my life. You've gotta try the eel roll and the volcano roll. I don't know how they do it, but it's spot on to real sushi. The menu is 100% vegan, expansive, and offers everything from all-day breakfast to savory lunch and dinner options. Every item we tried (and we tried a LOT) was perfect. Tasted just like non-vegan food. Also their fries were bomb!

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

“Happened upon this gem while at lacrosse tournament weekends. The dishes were all very delicious and authentic (as it can be). All the servers were extremely polite, and the owner introduced himself (he’s a local firefighter, respect to his service) to us also. Will be back when we are in the area for sure!“

“Steve monahon, Introduced ME, & My Girlfriend to the Excellent Food in Ventura county The West end White House!“

“I had a another great experience at Immigrant Son! Cortni was incredibly informative and engaging--she really listened to what I wanted and offered some great suggestions. I mentioned I was looking for something keto-friendly and protein-packed, and she recommended a side of chicken and a side of avocado. Simple, healthy, and surprisingly delicious! To top it off, I treated myself to their strawberry sourdough scone--absolutely amazing, especially paired with a good cup of coffee! Ronan, the manager, was exceptional as well. The positive energy in this place is always contagious--it's the kind of vibe that makes you want to come back. Great people, great food, great atmosphere!“

“Great place! Excellent food!! Fast service! Clean and friendly atmosphere.“

“The food was really fresh and delicious.“

“Ordered the TNT Bahn Mi , Lemongrass Beef Bahn Mi. , Fish vermicelli and 2 Ube Milk Tea. They ran out of brown sugar boba, so we ordered crystal boba instead. All of it was very good. We ate there and there wasn't enough space to sit until a couple left. The shop is pretty small, but I understand that it is a take-a-way restaurant. They seemed very busy based on the rushing around and a couple people waiting for their orders. We would definitely go back. So much better than "fast food".“

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

“Very good service & food was incredible.“

“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“

“Pete's Breakfast House What a great way to start the day! This amazing family-owned restaurant truly has it all—warm and attentive service, fair prices, and an atmosphere full of great energy. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. It’s a positive experience from start to finish, where good food feeds the body and the uplifting vibe fuels the mind. A heartfelt thank you to Lindsey, Olive, and the entire wonderful crew for making our day so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! With gratitude, Tom & Lori Jean Steele“

“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.“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“Channel Islands Juice in Ventura is a fantastic spot for high-quality (though not freshly made) juices and healthy bites. The chia pudding was absolutely incredible—hands down one of the best I’ve ever had, with the perfect texture and flavor. On the other hand, the Power Up smoothie was a bit underwhelming, lacking the bold taste I was expecting (I added coffee to it). That said, the overall experience was great, with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff - Kai especially- who clearly care about what they do. If you’re in Ventura and looking for a nourishing, delicious option, this place is definitely worth a visit!“

“I've only been here once, and my experience was good but not great. The hype of eating here was greater than I feel it should be. Food seemed average while the service was subpar. I will give it another try but won't go out of the way to do so.“

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

“We all loved Paradise Pantry , the food, the presentation, and the service were all fantastic The attached gourmet wine and cheese store is not to be missed. This place is a real gem in Ventura Ca.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza! Even if there is a wait, it’s completely worth it. The prices are fair, good amount of seating, and the owners are friendly. The pizzas are huge. My brother (who usually has a big appetite) and I shared one pizza and couldn’t finish it.“

“I've been waiting for a place line this to open up in the area. Excellent bowls with a ton of fresh ingredients, hummus varieties, toppings and sauces to choose from. Great portion sizes too!“

“We stopped there for lunch. We made reservations as recommended but not sure if it was necessary because there was nobody else there when we got there just before noon but filled up after 12:30.

The atmosphere was wonderful sitting on a warm day in the patio. The server was very attentive to our needs.

This is a place dedicated to SLOW FOOD. Allow at least 1 hour for lunch, at least 1.5 hours if you are having a dessert.

Food was extremely well prepared and you can taste the difference in quality and careful preparation. BTW, the crab cakes are the more spiced variety.

We REALLY enjoyed the Bread Pudding which is served with freshly prepared Caramel Sauce.“

“Favorite local place for craft cocktails. The bartenders here know their craft and they stock hard to find liquor that most local places don’t have. On my most recent visit I ordered a La Louisiana which in addition to whiskey and vermouth also requires Benedictine and Absinthe, which most local bars here don’t carry.“

“If I could give this place 6 stars I would! This is my go to taco shop in Ventura. My only complaint is they're closed on Mondays and I almost always crave them that day. Other then the tacos they've got many other delicious dishes to choose from including menudo on the weekends in the morning. I highly recommend the pastor tacos! Family run and the service is always spot on. I like that if you go there often enough they're most likely going to start remembering you and what you order and those places are hard to find anymore.

Parking: Always easy to find a parking spot right in front or across the way“

“Food is great and best sunsets over the ocean“

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

“Best milk stout I’ve ever had! We ordered lots of food (sausage/cheese dough balls, pepperoni pizza, Caesar salad, fries, snack plate) and it was all delicious! I also really liked the kombucha!“

“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.“

“Beautiful, decadent handmade truffles that are almost too pretty to eat. I added turtles to my husband's Valentine box this year and he absolutely loved tpromised. The online orders I've placed have always been ready when promised.“

“The bowls are good but that’s not why I’m writing this review.
Whenever I am having a bad day at my job, I come to Ubatuba just so Kate can lift up my day. She is always so excited to see me and makes me feel like I have a purpose in life once again. Kate makes my bowl amazing and she gives me a discount. Whenever I see Kate, my eyes tear up with joy. She always puts a smile on my face. If Kate has 1 million fans, I am one of them, if Kate has 1 fan it’s me and if Kate has no fans I’m dead. Please give this lady all the raises, if she ever leaves this job I will not be coming.“

“I absolutely love this place-- the food and the owner are amazing. I highly recommend their falafel, hummus, shawarma, and you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The service is excellent and the owner is awesome. Very generous portions and hospitality. I highly recommend!!“

“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!!!“

“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 ❤️“

“My husband and I came out to Ventura for a small beach trip, and let me say that this was THE HIGHLIGHT of the trip. The Cave’s atmosphere was amazing. It successfully gave a cozy, friendly/romantic cave feel. The outdoor eating area was bright, roomy, and seemed comfortable as well! The live music and dim lighting added to the ambiance. I could stay there for days trying their many different and well priced menu items. The meat offered was top notch and was cooked to perfection. The sides complimented the food extraordinarily and left little to be desired. The wine choices there varied and made it incredibly easy for consumers to try different kinds before making their pick. To top it all off, the dessert options were to die for! Many, many different choices for any kind of occasion or desire. The staff were very kind and welcoming. There were many hello’s when walking in the door, our waitress, Rachel, was absolutely outstanding and would highly recommend requesting her service if I were you. She was very friendly, had amazing small talk, and she clearly loved her job a lot. I will always recommend The Cave to anyone in the area. It truly would be a loss to miss out on an experience as memorable as The Cave.“

“We love this restaurant. My husband and I come with our beautiful chocolate lab. We come as often as possible. All the food is phenomenal!! We love the vege lasagna. We also love the egg and kale breakfast sandwich at brunch. Everyone that works here go out of their way to make sure you are happy. They are dog friendly. Love love love this place!!!“

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

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

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

“Fantastic service and mouthwatering seafood! The fish and calamari were standouts. The fish had a perfect crispy exterior and juicy interior. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly and good looking staff. We were so impressed with the fish and chip, we ordered another one! Two minor suggestions for improvement: ease up on the fries' seasoning (salt) and include utensils with to-go orders. Highly recommended for fresh seafood lovers! Brophy Bros has secured a spot on my SoCal favorites list – I'll be back!“

“Amazing Lunch Experience at Lucky Thai with beautiful view of Pacific Ocean

I had the pleasure of enjoying the lunch special at Lucky Thai, and it was absolutely fantastic!

The Spicy Basil Chicken was bursting with flavor—tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and the perfect level of heat from fresh Thai chilies. Every bite was a delightful balance of savory and spicy with fragrant basil shining through.

The Drunken Noodles with Shrimp were phenomenal! The wide rice noodles were perfectly cooked, soaking up the rich, garlicky sauce, and the shrimp were plump, fresh, and flavorful.

The meal started with a comforting bowl of Egg Drop Soup, silky and rich with just the right texture. The accompanying Thai Salad was light and refreshing, with crisp vegetables and a tasty, tangy dressing.

The portions were generous, the flavors authentic, and the service warm and friendly. Lucky Thai has truly earned its place as my go-to spot for Thai cuisine.

Highly recommend this spot—I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“😊Great healthy lunches. 😀😀“

“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.“

“Big variety of good Breakfast Food!“

“The scones are amazing and they have gluten free options that are fabulous! Please go visit them.“
