50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe

“Great food, fun atmosphere. Definitely highly recommend.“

“Note: The sign at the front says Jalisco Taqueria, but I was told it is the same. Had the pozole and two tacos(al pastor, carnitas). The tacos were great. They give you a side of onions, radishes, and lime. Most places I've been before also give you cilantro, but not here. The pozole was not spicy, but they gave me some hot sauce to add, smoky chipotle, I think. Once I added it, it was spicy enough for me. It had a LOT of meat. The bowl wasn't as big as in other places, but for the price, I think it was reasonable. I would recommend this place, as long as you are not expecting a fancy place. BTW, it's now open on Mondays, too.“

“Was nice to go somewhere different for a change with my husband. We have 2 other restaurants that are our favorite to go to when we're here without kids. They're nice and a lil to A LOT pricey. Maggie's is in that range as well but the food was very good and the service was perfect. Like the ambience and the indoor/outdoor vibe. And the hotel its attached to is beautiful as well. Definitely will recommend to my friends and family.“

“We've found this place last night, and we decided to come back in the morning to try the breakfast empanadas! Amazing and the chimi is delicious!!.Martin was amazing.I recommend everyone to stop by and try the delicious empanadas he makes!“

“Another great meal at the getaway. Managed to beat the tourist traffic today and discovered those vegetarian breakfast tacos. Always great!“

“Food was good. Service exceptional.“

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“Visited on a Monday morning. The hostess had an attitude going; definitely not the kind of person I'd put at the front of my restaurant.Fortunately, it was uphill from there. Our server was attentive and he made sure we had what we needed. Food was good, portions were generous, and the kitchen accommodated a request we had. Restaurant is large, clean, and has a fun ambiance.“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’“

“Best Bakery from the Nevada to South Lake Tahoe, and possibly all over Tahoe! Amazing family run bakery with quality savory and sweet treats! They also catered an amazing desert table this past weekend for a family event. My only complaint is the deserts were so good, they were completely gone by the end of the night and I wasn’t able to take any home. I guess my loss is everyone else’s gain.. next time I’m hiding some for myself.“

“Totally amazing meal. Just the best in service and food.“

“We stopped there to pick up sandwiches on our way to a hike in lake tahoe area.They were very warm and welcoming. We had veggie burger, grilled veggie sandwiche and one Reuben. Everything turned out to be good. Although fries were not great but it might be because we had it after a while and they were cold by that time.Full points to staff for the services. Also very ince decoration.“

“Nice spot for lunch with a beer or cocktail. Great staff and the owner actively walks around the restaurant checking on her guests. She closed the blinds for us because she saw the sun shining in our eyes. The food was good, and the drinks were delicious. It's worth a visit in your in SLT.“

“Wonderful food, great service! Creative menu options and nice comfortable ambiance“

“Delicious place to stop for après ski. We had the mini pretzel, the sausage plate and a peaches and cream strudel for dessert. All were tasty choices and we were glad to enjoy them after a day on the slopes. The servers were friendly and the decor was as if you were in the mountains of Germany.“

“Best tacos and burritos I've had while here in lake Tahoe tried another Mexican spot like cantarito cocina y bar around the corner and it was not good at all went for lunch and the appetizers there were unconvincing to say the least so we left and did not have lunch there but here at this little taco spot meat was well seasoned and were really good the salsa had plenty of flavor should have came here from the start but unfortunately they were closed yesterday Thursday so went to the other one dont go to cantarito come here instead way way cheaper and way better food! Friendly atmosphere great service ?“

“The atmosphere and customer service was great ! Making a reservation is better then walking in but the wait wasn't to bad about 15 mins we got the garlic bread with cheese ( it was delicious) , bruschetta ( which was completely amazing ! ) my boyfriend got the chicken parm and I got the salmon orgeganato both plates were very tasty and a good size portion ! To finish it off we got a tiramisu to share which was also very tasty! Definitely recommend this place the customer service was great very attentive the food was delicious price wise it was a bit pricey not to much but completely worth it ! When I come back to Tahoe this is one of the places I will definitely come back to over and over again“

“This place has outstanding Pizza and an awesome selection of beers ?. Always was 2nd to Lake Tahoe Pizza Company, BUT NOT ANYMORE.NEW CHAMP IN TOWN. Can't beat a slice and a brew. Pool tables are a bonus. Best vibe in South Lake Tahoe.Thanks guys!!“

“Omg! Recommended by a friend… pastor tacos on point! Hamburger with fixings delicious… but obviously tacos had me WINNER… pastor with pineapple 100% bomb… carne asada flavor… Carnitas had me at HELLLLOOOOO“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“I have eaten pizza in 32 states and I have to say Lake Tahoe Pizza Company crushes them all. My only complaint is I wish they had a location close to me.“

“Love the Red Hut waffle restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff! Great waffles! Will become a regular breakfast spot, when in South Lake Tahoe.“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

“So satisfied with our time here. We were approached and seated immediately. Complimentary chips and salsa were delicious and brought out quickly after being seated. Food was served pretty fast and was SO GOOD! Prices are fair for the portions and *especially* for the taste. Our server, Andy, was very pleasant. The horchata was delicious - no refill but it was in a huge glass so I'm not complaining.“

“Picked up food for my family, the buffet that you can choose from looked great. Everything looked like it was just cooked. Combos are super big, you could definitely feed two if you ordered just one combo. Always friendly and fast.Parking: Parking lot isn't the best. Tons of pot holes.“

“My husband and I took a day trip to Lake Tahoe and we happened upon South Lake Brewing Company. I like the chill and modern vibe of this place, with lots of natural light inside. They had a good selection of beer and 1 seltzer at the time. I’m giving this place 4 stars because I thought the service of the bartenders was a little lacking and I strongly disliked the seltzer I got but, it is a brewery and I felt their beers were pretty good. If you like beer, I would stop by and check this place out!“

“Absolutely, Except for——SpongeBob was playing on TV for some odd reason!“

“Great service, cute atmosphere, and extensive menu. We enjoyed our breakfast there.“

“Great atmosphere, def recommend“

“A hidden Gem ... the food is great and piping Hot when it is served. The dinner portions are big, for lunch they give you soup & egg roll, along with the entree you choose. You have an option to choose rice or chow mein with your entree. Lunch portions are also generous.“

“Wide selection of options! Loved the “Volcano”roll!“

“Great selection of bourbon! Had a very knowledgeable bartender!!! We will be back.“

“We stayed in an indie king room with the bunk beds. The location can't be beat and the food (breakfast, beer garden) is quite good compared to other offerings in the area and convenient. The restaurants our particular weekend all filled up early. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and s'mores firepit. There was a wedding one night, but the hotel shut it down right at 10pm so it was quiet, and we were on the side directly above the beer garden. Biggest downsides is the walls are thin (the lady next door fell asleep with the tv on) and the heater is very loud / or not that strong. But we were there in fall so maybe it's stronger in the winter.“

“Home run! Just like the tacos I get back home in Texas. Off the beaten path and away from all the tourist traps full of boring chain restaurant food. Picnic tables to eat outside. Spicy, delicious green salsa. Tender asada, lengua and carnitas. Very, very good.“

“Good value in the food, beer not so much“

“Got a very large carnitas burrito and soft drink for about 12.99$ , which is inexpensive for being on Lake Tahoe Blvd. Food was good, authentic Mexican style. Plus, their restroom, although outside and quite cold, was immaculately clean. If u want simple and low priced Mexican food near South Lake Tahoe. I would recommend.“

“They make some good sandwiches! You can't go wrong ordering anything here. The service is also amazing, and the people who work there are very kind and have a good energy. The restaurant has a clear and nice theme except for the random sun bum decorations. Overall this is definitely the best sandwich shop in South Lake and I would recommend coming here.“

“I moved to Tahoe in 2003 and this was my absolute favorite place to eat. We moved to gardnerville 8 years ago and I really miss eating there, I wish they would open a restaraunt here. The owner was super nice and remembered his customers and treated them like friends.“

“Best. Pizza. Ever. Everything is good about it the crust the sauce and don't even get me STARTED on the toppings. The only bad part its the wait if they went faster this would be perfect.“

“Delicious Thai food! Both the fresh, wide noodles of Kee Mao and the Green Curry were amazing. Best restaurant of many that we ate at around Tahoe.Vegetarian options: They offer fried tofu, steamed tofu, and vegetable choices for vegetarians.Parking: Parking lot behind the restaurant.“

“Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.“

“At 4PM, we couldn't find a better option than this. The cafe had limited seating, but it was sufficient for our group. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions of our orders, which were being prepared while we placed them. To start, we had nachos with various salsas to sample. The nachos and salsas were fresh, although we had expected the salsas to have a more salsa-like consistency rather than being like sauce or paste. Nonetheless, they were still enjoyable.The highlight of our meal was definitely the Chile Relleno. It had the perfect combination of flavors, pleasing everyone at the table so much that we ordered another plate. The seasonal veggie burrito bowl was also quite good. We were initially skeptical about the Chicken Chimichanga burrito since it was deep-fried, but it turned out to be surprisingly good, not greasy at all. However, it could have benefited from more sauce. We also tried a veggie taco and a fish taco. The veggie taco was loaded with toppings and had a delicious taste. Unfortunately, the fish taco was disappointing as it tasted mostly like deep-fried batter with no distinct fish flavor. Recommend skipping the fish taco. Aside from that, our experience at the restaurant was definitely five-star. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will certainly remember the Chile Relleno. We may even return specifically for that dish.“

“Back again! My husband loved this place so much when I brought him in a week ago that we drove back up from Sacramento again. He absolutely loves the gnocchi. The dense pasta with the flavorful sauce is a favorite of his. I tried the Greek burger which became the best burger I have had. It was cooked medium and came out perfect! It's lamb with grilled onions, feta cheese and a garlic mint aioli which pairs so nicely with the lamb. Such a good burger and accompanied by the fries was the perfect lunch! I was excited to learn that they have another location on the lake that we'll have to try on our next trip! Alex was fantastic and the food was amazing as always!“

“Best chicken I have ever had! Amaze balls delicious! Ribs are to die for!“

“Had a great experience at this place. Got a salad but wasn't a fan on the chicken on top (just my personal preference). They exchanged it for a pizza. Lesson learned, don't get salad at a pizza joint ?. They were understanding. Tht fireplace outside was great for kids. And large area for kids to play. They also have another cocktail bar next door that was amazing.“

“I can’t recommend this place enough. Absolutely delicious food, excellent prices, and outstanding service. This is our family spot for Mexican food, we got the carne asada tacos, and chili verde burrito. Both were cooked, and prepared perfectly. They have a salsa for every taste as well. Edit: we had carnitas tacos and a carne asada torta, everything was outstanding. You know a place is good when you’re planning your next meal before you finish your current one.“

“Great option for taking out Indian food in Tahoe. The seating is very limited it's best to take out. The Nan was great so was Kadhai Paneer and Chole. Would not recommend the chai here.“

“I promised the guy working here named Peppe (hope I spelled that right, sorry if I didn't Peppe, and sorry this review is a little late; was there last week) that I would leave a review. I want to say that Peppe was spot on. He really seems to love his job, and was super excited to serve us and tell us a little about Blue Dog Pizza (was in Lake Tahoe for business, so this was my first time here). A big thumbs up to Peppe! As far as the pizza is concerned, I loved the cheese, and the sauce. Fantastic. The only complaint I have would be the amount of toppings (had all the meat toppings, along with bell pepper/onions/tomatoes) that was placed on the pizza. In my opinion there was not enough to justify the cost of the pizza (I got a large that was $30.00). There was some of each topping, but not a lot. I took it back to my hotel that had a kitchen in it and added more sausage, ham, onions, etc. It was good, don't get me wrong, but for $30 I want the pizza loaded down with toppings. The only other part I didn't really care for was how the bell pepper and onion are cut. They are not diced, but rather cut in long pieces. Just a preference, as I'm sure a lot of people like theirs cut in long pieces. Would I purchase this again if I were to go back, probably not due to the lower amount of toppings on it. Was it good, absolutely. Did Peppe do a great job, absolutely! He was the main reason I decided to give it a try.“

“We live about an hour and a half from Tahoe, so we don't get a chance to eat here often. But when we DO come to Tahoe, Blue Dog is an ESSENTIAL stop while we're here. The food is amazing! It's become our family tradition to come here once or twice in a weekend visit!“

“Our party of 3 ordered Peking ribs, pork fried rice, salt & pepper ribs, and orange chicken. The food was delicious, especially the salt & pepper ribs, which were tempura. The orange chicken was the best. One less star because they added their own tip to check on a party of 3. Total for food $89.00 Inc to sodas. With their added tip, $103“
