Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurants in Los Angeles

When Guy Fieri rolled into Los Angeles searching for plant-based flavor bombs, he discovered a vibrant vegan and vegetarian scene that proved meat-free doesn’t mean taste-free. Across 3 featured spots, the Flavor Town mayor found an average rating of 4.3 stars worth of delicious discoveries.

Leading the pack is Nic’s On Beverly with an impressive 4.6-star rating, followed closely by Mom’s Tamales at 4.4 stars, where traditional Mexican flavors get a vegetarian makeover. Azla Ethiopian Vegan rounds out the trio at 4 stars, bringing bold East African spices to the table. While 2 of these establishments have since closed their doors, 1 continues serving up the plant-powered dishes that caught Guy’s attention. These LA gems showcase how vegetarian cuisine has evolved far beyond salads and tofu into creative, crave-worthy comfort food.
