37 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in La Quinta

“Service and food are excellent. One of the best restaurants in the CV. I loved the choices on the menu. Everything I ordered was delicious. My favorites were the pork chop and the butter cake. Pablo was an excellent server. We will be back for sure.“

“I went there for lunch with a friend. Both of us were so impressed with our breakfast! I had the huckleberry pancakes and my friend had the 2eggs bacon and potatoes. There was so much food and boy was it delicious!! I recommend this restaurant highly!!!!!“

“Great food! Had the Chicken Tostada Salad... super tasty and they even make the flour tostada fresh to order. Waffles are good too! Have been here a few times and everything I had was delicious and you get great portions! They do get very busy especially when the festivals are in town; open from 7am to 2pm daily ?“

“We really enjoyed our dinner here. Gina, our server, was the best we have had at any restaurant in a long time! It was later in the evening and she had lots of energy and made really good food and wine recommendations. The food was delicious - we had the Grilled Prime Bavette Steak Frites Au Poivre, the Slow Braised Prime Beef Short Rib Bourguignon and the Salmon dish. Gina had many wine suggestions in all different price categories. Their wine list was extensive. The bread was very good and warm. We sadly did not have room for dessert but will try next time we are in the desert. The only thing they could have improved on, is that they are not kidding when they said it was a "Baby Wedge" salad. The salad was small. I normally split a normal size wedge salad, but this one is not shareable. They could add a little more lettuce and make it bigger.“

“I reserve my five-star ratings for a literal PERFECT experience. My first visit to the Palms Cafe this morning was amazing. There was plenty of seating available even though the place was busy. Our server was friendly and helpful, and got our entire order correct. The food arrived quickly (less than 5 minutes), and was cooked to perfection. The Belgian waffle was the best I have ever had, anywhere. It was crispy and fully cooked. The center was fluffy but not soggy. The has browns were also exactly what I expect when I order hash browns. Crispy, moist but not greasy, and served hot. In the past, most places I go to for breakfast serve hash browns that are dry, gooey, greasy, or in some cases - still frozen in places. The ambiance was nice with classic rock playing at a background volume, and everything was super clean. I will definitely return to The Palms Cafe very soon!“

“Best Food! My friend and I had breakfast here the second weekend working Coachella and made sure we came back the work weekend of Stagecoach! Fresh amazing food with the most exquisite flavors. The coffees/lattes are refreshing and delicious. The wait is nothing compared to the place around the corner. We went around 9:30/10 am and beat the rush that came in about 11ish, however with the indoor and outdoor seating , waiting time wasn't too bad. They have half order options on most items and I absolutely love it !“

“So, I tried to snap pictures of all the wings and pizzas that I ordered for the office, but they were promptly devoured as soon as I got back to the office.CHICKEN WINGS: They are saucy, crunchy, meaty and must be eagle wings, cuz they are HUGE! 10/10 recommendPIZZAS: Overflowing with toppings, which are all extremely flavorful and fresh. Recommend going with specialty pizzas, as they are make some really good combos. 10/10 recommendNeedless to say, the pizza and wings from Sabatino's is the unanimous favorite and go to for me and my staff (office of 15+ people).“

“Pretty decent place. I’ve eaten here twice. My entree was good. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by their chips and salsa. They only have one salsa and I wouldn’t write home about it. Ok top of that, you gotta pay for it separately. We weren’t informed of this when we came in but were asked if we wanted some so I of course said yes. Then later to see it in the menu that you gotta pay was a slap in the face.“

“The food was DELICIOUS! Very affordable for a good serving . It was very fresh and the chicken was full of flavor the chimichangas were incredible. Our host was very sweet she wasn't overbearing and also checked on us as well :) the atmosphere was also fresh and friendly“

“I was in the area for our rental property and had to stop by The Home Depot. I randomly found this restaurant on yelp and gave it a shot. Service: 4.5/5 some staffs are friendly but some are just a-ok. All staffs are super focus on their job and super organized I think. They were people consistently coming inside the restaurant while tables were cleaned from the previous diners. We got seated right away along with most of the other diners. Food: 4/5 a lot of choices, many a little too many?! I see that their rolls are gigantic! Never seen rolls that big in my life. I think 1 roll is enough for maybe 2 people. Rice is a little too hard for my preference. Parking: 5/5 came on Saturday night and plenty of parking in the shopping plaza. Ambience: 4.5/5 Yelp says it's energetic space but it's very dim inside and very quiet inside despite them being busy. It's great for date night. Maybe during the day, it's more lively?! I might give another shot as it was a decent meal for this area....“

“Heard this spot was a must try from friends and they weren’t wrong! The ingredients were fresh and overall the ramen had a delicious flavor. Our waitress was really nice and offered great recommendations. I loved the side of roasted black garlic oil (one side was more than enough for two bowls of ramen) and soft boiled egg. We also enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls as an appetizer. If you’re a fan of ramen, Torakichi is well worth it! I’ll definitely be back.“

“Best sushi anywhere!!!“

“They sat our party of 7 at 6 pm on a Friday night. What a treat.The wife got the Fajitas and it was more food than she could eat. So good.I had the cheese enchiladas with Mole Sauce. So good. Great mole sauce.The boys had a dish with cheese enchiladas and a beef steak with onions and cheese. It was amazing. It's called TampiquenaThis is the place to get Mexican food in town.“

“The restaurant was busy on a Sunday night. Service was a little slow but the margaritas (strong but good) and food was all delicious. A woman at the bar had a bowl of the chicken tortilla soup and it looked really good. I ordered it and was incredibly impressed. The soup had big chunks of chicken breast with a flavorful broth, topped with tortilla strips and cheese. I would go back just for a bowl of soup and a margarita! Although the other food was good, the bacon wrapped shrimp were great, but the soup stole the show for me!“

“Ok.... so we had such a great experience 2 weeks ago when we went for the first time that we bragged so much about it and decided to return last week with a friend. Well it was a completly different experience and it was so terrible that i said i would not return. I even gave them such a bad reviews because I was so angry. Anyways today my Husband talked me into going again because he said let's try it one more time. Give them a chance we might be surprised.When we walked in....I knew the young server from last week remembered us from last week and I told my Husband I know they saw the bad review I gave. I was uncomfortable but stayed. The young woman that came up and asked if we wanted something to drink she was very nice. We Hadn't seen her the last 2 visits. But it turned out that she's one of the managers. Her name was Yvette. I think the server from last week didn't want to help us but I can't say that I blamed her. When She brought our coffee and asked if we were ready to order. We ordered and my Husband mentioned we had a bad experience last week but we would like to try the fruit plate again. She told us right away that she had seen the review and so did the owner and she knew it was us from the server telling her it was. She apologized right away about what happened to us and explained the young server we had last week was new and that they appreciated our real input because it helps the restaurant learn. She said the owner even had a meeting about things to improve on. She Thanked us for giving them another try. She continued to be our server. Everything was awesome. She talked to us off and on a few times and even though it was awkward.... it was really nice. When she gave us our check.... she tried to comp the ticket which was nice. We said it was unessasary. She still gave us a few bucks off anyways which was nice. I attached a picture of the wonderful fruit plate too. Anyways....I guess the moral here is.... sometimes a bad review helps like in this case. But sometimes.... including myself.... we sould maybe stop think that maybe everyone has a bad day and sometimes it's better to remember that.Thanks Guys for a great visit this time!“

“My daughter's first time having sushi and she loved it. She loved the Udon noddles as well. Every bite was delicious for her and mine as well. The waitress was a very gentle woman who helped me work around my allergies of shell fish. It wasn't as busy as I expected at 7pm on a Saturday, but the dining area was immaculate and the dishes were taken immediately after we finished our meals and side meals. The presentation of the meal was wonderful as well, for the people who find presentation part of their appetite.“

“Very good dinner, amazing snailsDelicious pastaVery tasty and well cooked meatThe place was very elegantThe attention of the staff is very attentive and helpful.The dishes are very abundantThe cocktails were very well prepared.It is a comfortable and clean place“

“Overall the experience was very good. We ordered the asada tacos but the meat did not have any seasoning. We tried the pork tamale as an appetizer and it was delicious! The bread pudding was out of this world. I had a strawberry margarita with a salted rim and it was delicious! I could have done without the tacos and would have been satisfied! The service was great and everyone was friendly. Great ambiance!“

“JoAnn was our server and was extremely nice and very helpful. Very nice booth near the fireplace as we had ask for. The streak skewers were very SMALL cut up bits which does them to be very rare. The pot sticker although streamed came out cold. The cucumber roll was very good.“

“Hadn't been here in years but came back with some friends last week and loved it. The tuna and seabass were out of this world and even the rigatoni was surprisingly awesome. I say surprisingly because they aren't known for pasta but it was perfectly al dente and the sauce was rich without being heavy. There were 7 of us at dinner and every one of us left stuffed and happy. Highly recommend!“

“This is a step up from a fast food restaurant. We enjoyed surprisingly good food. The pizza, stromboli, wedge salad, brussel sprouts and meatballs were very good. They had a good selection of micro brews. We caught the last 30 min. of happy hour. Most apps were about $8 and they were full size apps. Drink prices were reduced. This is a very casual, locals spot. Service was a little understaffed but we did not suffer for it. Our server was pleasant and worked hard.“

“I had never been to this location so I didn't know what to expect. The food was great and the group of ate A LOT. The cheese corn was my favorite. The only thing I didn't like was that the floors were slippery. Don't know why, but I'll definitely be going back. It is about $29.99 per person, but if you eat a lot it'll be worth it. Not an everyday place to go eat but definitely a splurge kind of place!“

“We came in for dinner and man this place was popular. The wait wasn't too bad, and accurately estimated. The table we sat at was right behind the hostess stand and a little awkward, but it worked. We ordered wings, salad, and a large pizza. All were good. Next time I would order the pizza with thin crust because the regular crust was too thick. But overall, it was very good. The service was great. Our server was very nice and checked in appropriately. Overall good experience.“

“This is my 2nd time in 6 months and I must say it didn't fail my expectations. I do not live in the area but when I am I will always make it her to here. The burgers are made to order and the meat is just so tasteful. My son ordered the shrimp burger and he said it was nothing he has had and would 1000% order it again. My son completely finished his burger as did I.“

“manager or owner is so beyond rude!!! however her staff was amazing and on point food here is great just ignore the rude, bitter, greedy manager she treated and belittled her amazing workers. i felt so bad. nonetheless food is great manager just needs to learn how to treat staff properly asap!!!!!“

“Was surprised that it was actually very good. We ordered the galbi soup, galbi, and ramyun. The galbi was cooked nicely and served on a stone plate. Galbi’s soup was delicious but the beef rib was a little overcooked. Ramyun was very typical of what’d you expect.“

“I love the bacon breakfast burrito! They always know how to make it perfectly! It's a very welcoming store, and the decorations remind me of Mexico! Everyone is always so friendly, I definitely recommend! Also be sure to try the taquera salsa!“

“I decided to try Mimi's, just up the street, today for breakfast and what a great choice!Being from Virginia, I was pleasantly surprised to see Blue Crab Bennies on the menu and was not disappointed. They, along with the potatoes were delicious!My server Nancy was very good and I enjoyed my experience! Going to go back!“

“We went for brunch on Sunday of Coachella fest weekend, we didn’t think about how busy it would be. The restaurant was absolutely slammed, but we received nothing but fantastic service with excellent communication and hospitality from every staff member we encountered, from the gal out front who made us drinks while we waited for our table, to the host desk, our server and who I can only assume was the manager or owner. We had two small kids, and the staff was super accommodating and welcoming.Our food was delicious. We had Benedict’s, a kids burger and the ranchero bowl and everything was excellent.Thanks!“

“New to La Quinta so trying many restaurants. Went for dinner 3/9/2024. Don't let the outside "strip mall" Fool you. It is large and fabulous inside!!!!! Regardless of it being busy, the service was awesome! We tried the chicken lettuce wrap, cashew chicken,broccoli beef, and the pinapple chickes fried rice. Some of the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. The food in general was fresh, light, flavorful. Not full of oil or heavy starch sauce. Chinese food that feels like a bit of fresh Thai. This will be one of three top restaurants we have discovered in the area and we are picky!“

“After two false starts dining at fake Chinese food establishments, I desperately need something authentic. Further Google search lead me to The Palm Tree Palace. The name alone passed the Chinese test. From the menu items, I knew I hit gold. Finally, a place that has the right variety of Chinese dishes. The lady who answered the phone was a bit abrupt (in a very Chinese way, but in person, she was very friendly and glad to see us). We were treated with smiles from all the staff when we arrived. We were so 'starved' for real Chinese food at this point that I could have ordered half a dozen dishes, but since we didn't really want to take anything home, we decided on half a Peking Duck, Chicken and Vegetables in White Source, and Fish Congee. Ahhh, can you imagine congee on the menu. And of course, we asked for no MSG and no garlic, not a problem! The cuisine here is Northern Chinese, the Peking Duck came with steamed buns instead of the Canton Style duck with duck skin served with pancakes, and duck meat served as lettuce wraps. The duck skin was very crispy and delicious and the meat was tender. The duck must have been a giant duck because there were more meat piece than I expected. The congee, again was Northern Chinese, not smooth congee like the Cantonese kind. But still delicious, with tender fish and slivers of ginger. The chicken dish was well stir fried, and I didn't even mind the bean sprouts in the vegetable mix. To pass the test as a really great Chinese food restaurant though, it has to score high marks on originality for second and third time visits where you'd try out other dishes. When we came again, we ordered Braised Tofu with Vegetables, and pot stickers and to our disappointment, the vegetables were of the same variety as the chicken vegetables dish, and sauces were the same except more constarch this time, and we didn't enjoy the tiny pieces of square-cut tofu as they were not freshly fried – not crunchy outside and tender inside. That means, if we had ordered both the chicken and tofu dishes for the same meal, we would be lacking a good variety of vegetables. Incidentally, we tend to choose Chinese food when we need lots of cooked vegetables, so, I would think one of the key advantages that all Chinese restaurants should make use of is use as many varieties of fresh vegetables as possible. At home, the famous Chinese restaurants would not get away with this – they have to use different vegetables for different dishes or they would lose all their Chinese customers!“

“Rosati's Pizza is under new ownership. The last owner advertised "Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches " that was disappointing. I'm happy to report that the new owner's got the recipe right. While I've lived in California for more 50 years, I spent nearly 20 years working in Chicago where I experienced my favorite Southside Beef stand - "Al's BBQ" that was rated Chicago's favorite on Taylor Street West of Halstead Street. We've lived in La Quinta for 30 years and the closest I've come to finding an original Italian Beef Sandwich was located in Long Beach (unfortunately I do not remember the name). The man difference between a "Sliced Beef" and an "Italian Beef" is the paper-thin "shaved"beef and spices. Authentic Chicago Italian Beef is simmered in the spiced juices and piled high on an Italian Roll. Winter "Snowbirds" escaping the cold Chicago winters no longer need to travel to Long Beach for their Chicago favorite sandwich. Rosati's finally did their homework and brought Chicago's Italian Beef to the Desert. I gave Rosati's 4 out of 5 stars, deducting one point for skimping on the amount of beef served on the sandwiches I've ordered in Chicago, IMO, Rosati's has a winner but before they can claim success, they need to give California a new sandwich that satisfies the appetite as well as the budget. If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat. This is the real thing.“

“Everyone received their food in a group of about 16, except for me, I ordered a salad, as everyone was eating but me, I felt left out. Finally asked a young man passing by if he could check in my salad, a few minutes later my salad arrived.The environment was phenomenal!!!!Our waitress was outstanding. If the salad can be delivered first, definitely a five star from me.“

“My family usually went here for their pho in the past, and I was craving pho recently. They've definitely improved over the years. I got the #11 with a fried tofu appetizer, and I loved the flavor of everything. The fried tofu came with a little sour dip. The pho was just right to where I was debating whether or not to add anything. It wasn't bland or too salty, but I decided to add bean sprouts, Sriracha, hoison, and lemon to balance all the meats.The staff was attentive and courteous despite a decent flow of people coming in for dinner. They do focus more on groups, but after a long day at work, I genuinely appreciated the staff letting me eat in peace until I was ready to pay.(Sorry for the bad photo. I was halfway through my meal before remembered to take any.)“

“On April 6, 2024, our Homeowner's Association annual meeting was held in the upstairs banquet area of Fortun's. The venue was great, and the service and food were good. The staff made the event smooth and easy. We received great feedback from the owners who attended the meeting. We are looking forward to booking the same venue for next year's annual meeting.“

“The food was surprisingly good. We had a chicken quesadilla, some small boneless wings, a grilled chicken dinner and a child's cheese burger with fries . The place could have been cleaner. I had to ask another server for a bill since I was tired of waiting for our server to return.“

“My brother and I brought our mother there for an early Mothers Day dinner having dined on the patio in the past. We sat outside during wonderful evening weather. Service excellent, cocktails and wine good and dinner entrees were delicious and served perfect temp. My only complaint was that most of the heavy metal chairs did not have cushions and we had to “ steal” ones for my 90 year old mother. Would def go there again.“
