9 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Big Sur

“About a week ago my now husband and I eloped at the Post Ranch Inn and everything about it was perfect! We wanted a stress free and intimate ceremony amongst the trees and that’s exactly what we got. The event coordinator, Derek, was great and made sure that we were taken care of and happy each step of the way. We stayed in the pacific suite and it was beyond beautiful, along with the entire Post Ranch property. It was magical and we cannot say enough good things!“

“We unfortunately got stuck here on Hwy 1. , N and S both ways -due to mud slide- have been blocked today . We ended up visiting 3 different restaurants near by, and first 2 were over priced yet super busy and not sure about the attitude we received was kind enough. I really do appreciate the kindness and the good quality food & service we received from this beautiful restaurant. Not sure if I am coming back to Big Sur area again but I live in LA so I am definitely recommending this beautiful place . Please do yourself a favor and order the beet salad ! Make sure to crown your dining experience with a scrumptious dessert ? ?Dietary restrictions: I appreciate the vegetarian and seafood dishes !! As a Mediterranean, I am not into eating bacon, sausage etc ? Need to come back for breakfast for sure !Kid-friendliness: They offer pasta for kids, fresh squeezed OJ is yummy !!“

“Amazing restaurant with a spectacular view! I mean it was breath taking! If it's your first time dining at Sierra Mar I recommend asking for an ocean view seating by the glass windows. They also have open balcony seats where you can get go outside to experience the beautiful ocean view and fresh air. For lunch we had the prefix menu. It's a farm to kitchen theme. The food was fresh and organic, packed with bursting flavors. Spending our anniversary here was so special. I can't get over how stunning the views were and how zen the ambience is. Truly a special property and a place to enjoy with your loved ones.“

“Like finding a four leaf clover or a petroglyph that no one else has seen, I want this restaurant to remain hidden only for the seekers of rare joy and wonderment. Is the food delicious? Yes!! Is the site historic? Another yes! Is the decor delightfully kitsch and yet cozy and inviting? Another resounding yes! If you enjoy comforting food at very reasonable prices (especially in Big Sur) and top notch service, then this is your place. Come here for a romantic dinner and then come back to enjoy breakfast with the best hollandaise sauce ever! Just please, only spread the word to people who will appreciate the experience.“

“Very good place for a nice drink and snacks/ meal. Not just for food, visit this place for some stunning views of big sur. The ambiance, atmosphere is very good. Enough parking. A small climb of 15-20 steps to reach the restaurant. They even have games to play and relax( table tennis is my favorite).Wheelchair accessibility: It’s not wheelchair accessible as it’s on top of a small hill and there are about 20-30 steps to get to the restaurant.“

“THE place to stop by on one’s trip to Big Sur. A lovely building perched on the other side of highway 1 hugged by the surrounding nature. The first floor is an artful gallery/gift shop space and the terrace above overlooks the ocean - is there a better place to sit down and enjoy a beautiful lunch?We were all the more impressed by the food itself. A very fun adventure to try and taste all the items in the ensemble of mezze lunch bowl - lettuce so fresh as if just picked from the ground, radish hummus so good that we purchased a box afterwards to go. Loved the brokaw avocado sandwich as well - perfect seeded bread paired with unique and delicious spread consisting of ricotta and sweet potato. Look forward to coming back again!“

“Big Sur Roadhouse is one of my favorite gems I found during my stay in the area. It's located onsite the Glen Oaks Lodge, which is what brought me in the doors. Its mid-mod design and friendly staff brought me back. I came in initially for the complimentary coffee and donut that's included in the stay at Glen Oaks. I realized I probably needed more sustenance than that for a day of hiking, so I ordered the breakfast sandwich and a macchiato. The macchiato was perfect, and I love that they have the proper mugs for this drink. The breakfast sandwich took a while to come out but it was delicious and I was so glad I didn't miss it. The maple butter really elevates it to another level. I also had the glazed coconut donut, which was divine with the coffee. The ambiance here is cozy mountain meets mid century modern. Some of the furniture here had my collectors heart skipping a beat. They renovated 9 years ago and did an excellent job. The tables are original, and I love that they kept this piece of the past that fits so well in the new aesthetic. Come for the vibes. Stay for the most reasonable prices in the area, delicious food, and friendly staff.“

“Super intimate sushi bar overlooking the ocean. Wild Coast Sushi at Treebones is one of our absolute favorite places! They have two omakase seatings a night for around 8 people at a time. Focus is on local fish, and it's super fresh and delicious.During our stay at Treebones last year we had a Friday reservation and ended up loving it so much that we scooped up a rare last minute opening for Saturday as well!“

“The views, the food, the service! We got the Philly cheese steak, Reuben and cheese bread. Everything was outstanding. Can't wait to go back next time we're on the coast!Kid-friendliness: Outside deck was perfect for kids to explore and take in the beautiful scenery!“
