Los Angeles has moved far beyond basic tofu scrambles. Today’s plant-forward kitchens deliver technique, ambiance, and Instagram-ready plates that can convert even the most committed meat lover. Below are ten standout destinations organized by region—Central L.A., Beach Cities, San Fernando Valley, and Conejo Valley—so you’ll never be more than a short drive from a stellar vegan spread.
Gracias Madre
Location: West Hollywood – Central L.A.
This hacienda-style hotspot reimagines Mexican comfort: jackfruit carnitas tacos, cashew crema-topped nachos, and an award-winning tequila flight. The garden patio’s string lights and lush palms make it an A-list brunch staple.
Monty’s Good Burger
Location: Koreatown – Central L.A.
Think In-N-Out gone vegan: impossible patties, dairy-free American cheese, and secret sauce on toasted potato buns. Pair with shoestring fries and a strawberry oat-milk shake for retro diner vibes—minus the cholesterol.
Plant Food + Wine
Location: Venice – Beach Cities
Chef Matthew Kenney showcases raw zucchini lasagna layered with macadamia ricotta, plus wood-grilled king-oyster “scallops.” Sip biodynamic rosé under olive trees in the courtyard and soak up ocean breezes.
Double Zero
Location: Venice – Beach Cities
Neapolitan pies get a dairy-free spin here: cashew mozzarella bubbles beside fennel sausage made from farro and chickpeas. An Italian-leaning wine list and sleek marble bar elevate weeknight pizza to fine-dining territory.
Follow Your Heart Café
Location: Canoga Park – San Fernando Valley
The market that invented Vegenaise doubles as a cozy café serving Reuben sandwiches piled with house-made seitan pastrami. Don’t skip the coconut-cream pies chilling in the vintage dessert case.
SunCafe Organic
Location: Studio City – San Fernando Valley
Sun-dappled patios host bowls of chipotle “chorizo” mac, raw pad Thai, and decadent cacao superfood shakes. Weekend brunch adds Belgian waffles topped with coconut whip and berry compote.
JOi Café
Location: Westlake Village – Conejo Valley
Morning cyclists queue for nitro cold brew and nutrient-packed acai bowls, while lunch crowds favor the BBQ jackfruit wrap and truffle “cheez” flatbread. The light-flooded space doubles as a community art gallery.
MaKin Vegan Sushi
Location: Agoura Hills – Conejo Valley
Enjoy vegan sushi and Izakaya in Agoura Hills at this 100% plant-based, non-GMO, organic eatery. MaKin reimagines classics like sashimi and tempura with menu highlights that include the crispy Low Rider Roll and the shareable poke dip. Passionate about accessibility and sustainability, Ma-Kin makes healthy eating effortless, pairing inventive plant-based flavors with a warm, modern ambiance.
With flavors spanning sushi artistry to smoked-beet barbecue, these ten stops prove the best vegan restaurants Los Angeles can satisfy any palate—no meat required, just an appetite for invention.
