50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ventura

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“The food was really fresh and delicious.“

“Sanddabs were awesome, very good fish and chips and cod skewers were very delicate and tasty. Thanks to our waiter Will he was terrific. Easy parking garage directly behind restaurant with very short walk to entrance. Great seafood menu. Would definitely eat here again.“

“Let me start off with the obvious: this place is not cheap. 1 appetizer, 2 mains, dessert, wine, tax, dessert ... almost $200. IT IS WORTH IT. The food is superb and not oversized servings. The patio setting is fantastic (it could use more regular tables instead of low/benches for plating). And the owner takes extreme pride in serving and getting to know every guest. There is no rushed feeling; in fact, it is the opposite. No one under 21 allowed (so no kids); fantastic for date night or small groups. Parking can be hard to find. Reservations REQUIRED.“

“The food is tasty we are Thai and we love it. Garlic pepper dish is solidly flavorful. Pad See Ew, papaya salad, beef stew noodle soup are all good! I also had mango blender it’s made out of fresh mango. Very yummy! The place is nicely decorated. Cute umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and paintings made by their families on the walls. The service is always great! They are such a sweet family! My son loves going there. He is a picky eater but love their food.“

“The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great“

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

“After following them online for years, I was finally able to make it to the tasting room yesterday. Had a fantastic experience. Every person I talked with seemed to actually enjoy what they were doing. I did my tasting with Hans, whom I highly recommend. I'm one of those guys that nerds out on the process of distilling, and he indulged all my questions and was knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!“

“Great brews , food , and music“

“Best Pozole of my life! 🤌🏻“

“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.“

“Family run Mexican restaurant with excellent food. We enjoyed their albonigas soup and crispy tacos. But every meal offerings are authentic and delicious.
Don't let the modest, old-town setting keep you from a worthwhile meal experience.“

“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 👍👍🫶“

“The best place ! I recommend ❤️🍺“

“We were visiting for 4 days in Ventura, and this by far blew the socks off of anything we tried. The quality, speed at which it’s made, and TASTE of this food was absolutely incredible. Do not miss this spot if you’re in town, you’ll regret it.“

“Awesome place. Perfect vibe and food. The quintessential California beach experience. This was our first time and we can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“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.“

“These tacos are simply the best!! I've been their customer since 2018 and am looking forward to many more years.“

“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.“

“Maggies has been our family go to for mexican food for I dont even know how many years now. Their carne asada, bean rice & cheese burrtitos are favs but corn burritos are too. Its a toss up at times lol so we sometimes get the asada burrito + corn burritos & share.
Hot sauce could make anything taste good haha because its so tasty with just the right amt of heat
Easy location & staff are always so nice. Our family loves their food so much we even used them for catering my sons rehearsal dinner😁“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“Delicious food, kids loved it“

“Great spot to meet up with friends. Food trucks there most nights, different ones, so you can grab a bite. Great bartenders, always friendly, indoor and outdoor seating - no reason to let any rain slow you down. And, very important, you gotta try the pickle beer! Its only available one day each week. You'll have to go in and ask when that is...“

“Love this place and have been coming for years specifically for their parmesan crusted tacos, think Taco Bell on steroids! They have a lovely patio, you can bring your pups, and the service is outstanding! 👍🏻👍🏻🌮❤️“

“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.“

“I get back there every chance I get.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“Tiny speck of a neighborhood haunt with 4 or 5 tables and a scant 6 stools at a sushi bar. Service is friendly, timely and professional. Fish is as fresh as the Ocean and whatever came into Ventura or Santa Barbara in today's catch. Omakase for $60 pp and an amazing specials board with fresh eel, uni, sea bream, wahoo, scallops, amaebi, blue fin toro, and many others. Sake menu -- and Japanese beers -- complete the traditional experience.“

“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!“
