50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Ventura

“Holy smokes this menu is borderline overwhelming. But that’s not a bad thing at all. I’d love to come back and try everything. But it was breakfast time, so I went for the Ventura omelette. It’s was delicious! It’s been ages since I’ve had like a diner style omelette. One downfall was the toast. It was rock hard and pretty much inedible. Great staff a ton of variety, would love to come back and try more. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-08“

“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.“

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 ❤️“

They also brought out one of their complimentary crepes, which was a nice surprise. And their mimosa was amazing, refreshing and the perfect drink with breakfast.

My girlfriend loved her meal as well and we both had a really great experience. The atmosphere felt welcoming and classic diner style. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I have been to the location in SB. Spouse & I were in the mood for some fish & chips. They don't disappoint. The only disappointment was the service, I waited until the 2 young ladies were done talking until they decided to ask if I needed help. No apology. I know I'm old school, but without us customers, you ladies wouldn't have a job.“

“We love The Cave! The food is always excellent and the wines wonderful - truly everything we have had there has been delicious. We love that they go out of their way to offer not just excellent food, service and unique ambiance, but also memorable experiences, including wine dinners and (tonight) a Valentine murder mystery dinner that was so much fun! This is a very special place. Thank you Michele and Sabrina for all you do to ensure a consistently fabulous night out.“

“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.“

“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.“

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.

“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.“

“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“

“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 🧇 😋 👌“

“Great spot for tasty, healthy, authentic tai food! I’ve been coming here for years, this spot and the one by Winco (AM) have always delivered the best food and service! Cannot recommend these restaurants enough but this one is half a block from the beach and cozy so a perfect date night spot with a beach walk to burn of the night’s calories. I first came here interested in trying tai curry and boy have they made me a big fan, now it’s a staple in my diet, the sirloin steak green curry is amazing, you can cut the steak with a fork, I’ve tried all the curry’s and still have some dishes to try because they have such a large menu with so many great choices. Expect friendly service and food to come out quickly!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The best quality in all Ventura no doubt. Delicious and great service!“
