I live in San Francisco, which has a better vegetarian selection than most cities, but it takes time to find the good ones. I started to keep a list online, and then people started to use it, and so it goes..

Best pot stickers I've ever had, veggie or not. All food is
excellent. Yum. Yum yum. Mmmmmmm.. This is probably my
favorite restaurant, because I really like their variety of
fake meats. Everything on the menu seems delicious, but I
highly recommend the Spicy Gourmet Chicken, the Garlic Beef
and the Mongolian Chicken. Did I mention how tasty their
pot stickers are? Btw, as noted on the menu, the shrimp is not
vegan, it contains egg or milk, I can't remember which.

Expensive, very classy healthy well-made food.
This is one of SF's premiere veggie/vegan restaurants.
They use only local farmers and all food, beverages, spirits, and wine is organic. For those of you who remember the Millenium before it moved to the Hotel California from the Abigail hotel, I finally got to visit to compare the two, and there are some differences. The restaurant is larger, brighter and more open. The menu is very similar though more expensive if my memory serves. The appetizers I tried were very fantastic, though the entrees I tried, while delicious, weren't as stunning as previous. The desserts were incredible, thanks to the talented Amy Pearce, even better than the previous Millenium desserts, which is saying a lot. They definitely have some of the best desserts, vegan or not, that I've tried, and the cannoli and chocolate cake is to die for. If you were a previously a patron of the Millenium at the Abigail, I recommend trying the new Millenium, and if you do, please send me your comments. I'll be going back soon to try more.

Greens was opened by Zen Buddhists about 20 years ago. Their entire

the atmosphere is wonderful, the food is excellent, and the price matches it.
Any tour of the veggie restaurants in SF needs to include greens.

This tiny organic sushi joint is a hidden gem. The menu is not exclusively
vegan, but has vegan sections contains such items as vegan "eel" maki and
vegan desserts. This is a mom/daughter operation, and it feels
more like you've been invited over to someone's house for a fantastic
dinner rather than a restaurant experience, so don't make the mistake
of asking them to change the music. The service sets new records for
being slow, so if you're looking for snappy restaurant service than you
should take your business elsewhere, but if you don't mind the wait, and
you are prepared to be a guest at one of tables of this family,
then Minako is a must-try experience in San Francisco.

Thanks to Judy from Minako I found Café Gratitude just as they
had opened in early 2004.
Café Gratitude offers live raw food,
the menu is 100% vegan and all raw (except for rice, quinoa and ??).
When I first visited this place I was overwhelmed with the positive
energy that I found. The prices are slightly higher than normal
veggie, but quite reasonable for raw foods, and it's worth it.
The menu selection is quite large and all of the items have names
like I Am Graceful and I Am Trusting. They carry
plates of food as well as desserts, juices and "frozen nut cremes"
which you hand crank at your table.
The "I Am Passionate" pizza must be tried, as well as any of their
dessert offerings.
Café Gratitude is definitely on the short list of San Francisco
vegetarian experiences.

Jessie L. says (and I mostly concur): Not exclusively veggie, but they have
the best meatless chicken I've ever had, including the the Chinese New
Year in Malaysia where they're renowned for their assortment of meatless meats.
Comfortable, cheesy, mandarinified classical music, with dim, cozy
lights. Staffed with dry humor. Food is not too greasy, menu is flexible.
Endless supply of fortune cookies.
The restaurant seems to inspire good, long conversations, according to
Jessie, though she ads that it's also true when she's there by herself,
so your mileage may vary.
Note: I checked the ingredients on the fortune cookies, and they have no milk, though I can't remember if they had egg. Tip: Try the orange mock chicken. It's not on the menu, but it's the best dish they have! Serves brown rice. Delivers! |

Just discovered this place by chance, and it turns out they have a
huge selection of fake meats and sauces to go with it. They have
full dishes (such as Sesame Meatless Chicken, general Tsao's Chicken,...)
as well as Dim Sum (which I actually haven't tried yet). They also
deliver late, they have a menu online and can fax a menu if needed.
They're also quite friendly and helpful, and they
gave me a discount because it was my first time ordering from them.
They have meatless chicken as well as meatless ham, which is frighteningly
and deliciously ham-like, except for the fact that it has the texture and
shape of little tofu cubes. The sauces are great, and they have sesame
balls, too.

If you're near Bernal Heights, or even if you're not, you need to
check out Maggie Mudd's for dessert. They have a large selection
of home made vegan ice cream. They rotate through them and put
about 10 flavors up on the menu. They can make shakes, and I'm

Ice cream, tapioca, and a dim-sum style menu which has a large number
of veggie-fied asian food. It's not clearly marked, but, for example,
the fried chicken pieces are actually fried gluten. Everything on
the menu is supposedly veggie (though not vegan), and I noticed that
they did sell a few items with gelatine, so it's not 100%. But it's
good food, and it's a quaint "local" atmosphere. The tapioca drinks
are also excellent, and very fresh, mostly made from fruit and the like,
as opposed to powder. Try the Rainbow Angel drink, very tasty.

Interesting otherwise-fish joint has a number of excellent veggie and vegan
selections, such as vegan buffalo wings (gluten free batter available!)
a vegan fish and chips, as well as some fantastic veggie tacos. Check
out the Yam and spinach taco for a treat. The vegan cheesecake
is the bomb. The soy cheese is actually vegan, though sadly the
horchata is not. Be warned that they have vegan and non-vegan versions
of the same item, and sometimes the kitchen isn't as careful as you
might want. I've received non-vegan items after ordering vegan more

This juice bar is not all vegan, but they have some vegan smoothies
that are fantastic. I tried the classic OJ/Strawberries/etc.., and
it was somehow supersweet without sugar, the way I like it.
They also carry some raw foods/desserts, the owner is trying to
figure out his menu, so now would be a good time to go in with
suggestions. I got to try the raw vegan pizza, which was excellent.
It's not quite as good as Cafe Gratitude, but that's not saying much
considering how good Gratitude is.
They used to carry Maggie Mudd vegan ice cream and shakes, but now they have their own raw vegan soft serve which is phenomenal. It's by far the best raw vegan ice cream I've had, so they've got Cafe Gratitude beat on that count, and they even make delicious vegan waffle cones. Hallelujah. Definitely worth checking out, and see Feel Real and the organic grocery all within a block. |

Extremely cheap, and great if you get the buffet, all the

It's new management, and it's half-vegan, half-meat now, with a much smaller menu, and no more buffet - I haven't tried it yet. If you have, please let me know.

Considering the fare, it would be impossible to not compare this to
Café Gratitude. Unfortunately it doesn't quite measure up. The
prices are the same, but the selection is smaller and I wasn't
as impressed with the food, though it's still very well done.
The dessert selection, while also small, had some excellent
choices worth checking out.
The restaurant itself is a small storefront on Lombard, and has a very simple and clean layout. If you're looking for some variety or you're into raw, it's worth a try. Also known as the "Lombard Coffee Shop". Closed Mon/Tues. |

If you've ever wanted to eat like a Zen Buddhist Monk, then you can
eat at this mostly traditional but hipster "shojin" restaurant. The
menu is fairly expensive from a portions perspective, but you'll find
things here that don't otherwise exist in San Francisco. Seating is
first come first serve at large communal tables, yet they still manage
to make it feel reasonably private for couples or groups. Their menu
warns about some items having more "challenging" flavors for some diners,
but don't let it scare you off unless you've wandered into the
restaurant from off the street by mistake. I've only tasted some
of their appetizers, so expect more of a review in a week or two.

This is yet another restaurant that is gracious enough to let
you substitute mock chicken in the menu. The sauces are pretty
good, but the mock chicken is very fried, so it's tasty but not
too healthy. I'm told the owners are friends with the owners
at the Jasmine Tea House, and their are many similarities, but
I like the selection and taste of the mock chicken at Jasmine a
bit more, but the orange chicken and five flavor chicken sauces
were tasty, and in the heart of the Mission it's closer for most people.

Not exclusively veggie, but they are generally veggie aware and can
modify *some* of their dishes to be vegan. Other than that their
horribly pun-riddled menu is low in vegan fare, but of particular note
is the Biryani which is the best Biryani I've ever had, and the reason
they are being listed here. They can also make vegan Aloo Palak which
is surprising since most Palak dishes have cream.

African restaurant shop opened up right near my house, and about
half the menu is vegetarian. It's not much of a coffee shop anymore,
but Divis is infiltrated with Coffee shops anyways...
This has the best African that I've tried in SF. The food can take a long time to arrive, but it's worth waiting for. If you don't mind a little oil, try the veggie sambusa appetizer, it's delicious and my meat friends tell me it's even better than the meat sambusa (though the lentil sambusa is somewhat plain). Like any african restaurant, the best way to go is to bring many friends and eat family style off of one of their massive platters. They have a dish I haven't seen anywhere else called Hilbt, and it is very good. Very, very good. That's two "verys" which translates to a whole lotta good. The description doesn't make it sound good ("whipped fava beans"??), but it is. Did I mention how good it was? Unfortunately it's not on their menu anymore, but if you call up in advance and ask very nicely, they might make it for you. Delivers! |

With a selection of GardenBurger (has milk) and Wildwood Tofu burgers (vegan)

(with Jerk sauce) and it was good. It's too bad they don't have more
juicy selections like Saturn in Santa Cruz.
Laura B says: great tofu burger...i think it's the wildwood brand? anyway, they can make it anyway you like it...it's reallly good with artichoke hearts and sauteed mushrooms. the fried vegetable basket is a delicious heart attack waiting to happen. and i do mean heart attack. and i do mean delicious. i wish they made non-dairy milkshakes but the fact that it's a burger place that serves both tofu AND garden burgers gets it 4 stars from me. stay away from the falafel though, super funky!!!

Opened Nov 2006.
Right across from Bok Choy is a sister to Layonna in Oakland. Lots of fake meats, but nothing that knocked my socks off, pretty basic Chinese fare with a variety of tofus and such. Perhaps I just prefer my chinese mock meat to be deep fried. I tried the abalone as mentioned by Mary Allen (below) and was surprised with how strange and slippery it actually was to eat. Mary Allen says: We had: Sesame Chicken, sauteed string beans, abalone w/greens, Mandarin beef, steamed pot stickers, brown rice. All of it was excellent. The abalone was difficult to eat w/ chopsticks because it was sliced thin and was slippery. I'd give it 5 stars in all categories Serves brown rice. |

This place, while a fish/steak joint and while a chain, has the
best veggie burger I've tried in SF. It's "homemade" - and a
large juicy bean burger with all the fixin's - plus their homecut fries
are excellent. Unfortunately the burger also weighs in at $12.
But if you're looking for a great burger (and a decent enough place
by the wharf to bring friends for fish), then it's worth a try.
Back in 1995 they had a great dish called the "California Salad" that
was off the menu but still available. I'll have to call someday and
check on that.

So, yes, this is a sausage grill, and they make sandwiches with sausage,
but their menu has a spicy vegan sausage option (don't know if the bread
is vegan). They could do a better job of keeping vegan/non-vegan items
seperate on the grill, but the vegan sausage (tofurky based?) with peppers
and onions is quite good, and kudos for adding a non-meat item to their menu.

They have 4 vegan and 4 veggie sausages. Please note that
the "new" veggie sausages listed *under* the list of vegan
sausages are *not* vegan (egg whites). Cute small place with
a bunch of sausage and organic snacks. Could use some more
condiments.

I got to try this place. It's sad that we lost World Sausage Grill
but got Gestalt because the selection is so much smaller, and there
are almost no condiments. It has an interesting bar atmosphere.

Review by abby trouble: Several vegan maki rolls including one called the Kahuna Roll which has
mango, tofu and macadamia nuts. Ask the friendly staff about which rolls
are vegan. Lots of vegan small plates including one frequently on the
special's menu: a vegan spring roll with a peanut dipping sauce.
Sometimes there's a wait, but it's always woth it.

If you like Cheesesteak, you'll love this place. It has good,
greasy food in the cheesesteak and fries family, in particular
a veggie cheesesteak sandwich!
