28 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Solvang

“We ordered the five course tasting menu with the wine pairings. Highly recommended and I think it's a great value for all you get! The wine selections were international, and well-paired. The dinner was delicious, especially the lamb confit, it was outstanding!! Friendly service. We will certainly go back next time we're in town.“

“We had heard good things about the food here, as a step up from more touristy fare nearby. And the reputation is well-deserved. Our fish tacos were on clearly homemade blue masa corn tortillas and the fried chicken thigh on our Caesar salad was very crunchy. The boquerones on the salad and dressing were perfect.“

“Got to celebrate my birthday here with a wine tasting and a cheese pairing. The wines are SO yummy - light but still very flavorful. The service was lovely as well, they definitely made the occasion feel special. Definitely check them out if you’re in town!!“

“This place is amazing! My husband and I chose to eat here before we got into town. It did not disappoint. I got the salmon and eggs benedict, and I was in love, the hollandaise sauce paired well with the tater tots, too. My husband got the flakey toast, and he really enjoyed them. We ordered a Monte Cristo to try it out for the first time, and it was pretty good, too. We had a great breakfast before heading home.“

“Great food, great wines, impeccable service. When I say "Impeccable" i mean it was top notch attentiveness from the reservation through the bill. Friendly, helpful, welcoming, and the food was excellent. California produce and products of incredible quality prepared competently in a delightful setting. An excellent spot for dinner.“

“Great service and wine. Highly recommended. Thorn poured for us and he was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Coming into the tasting room, we were greeted and welcomed in. We truly felt like our patronage was appreciated. It was a little busy when we came in, but I feel like Thorn and Nancy made an effort to spend time with us and all the other customers. They appear to really love what they do. The importance of family is evident when you get to know the wine and labels. A sweet and heartwarming thing.Came in for a tasting and left with a few bottles. Delicious wine and a BIG selection.“

“Alma Rosa is tucked away in a courtyard off of the main road in Solvang. They have lots of covered patio seating and bar top tables inside. The indoor stools remind me of junior high art class seating which was not too comfortable, but they had a some leather chairs as well. They have fun, upbeat music playing inside. Outside food is not allowed but they do have some small bites for purchase. It looks like they're dog and kid friendly. Tasting are $30 and the wine is good, but pricey and nothing special in my opinion, except for the sparkling rosê at the end! Glad we tried it but not my favorite place in town.“

“This place is worth the hype and worth the wait. Some of the best waffles I've ever had. Look, the waffles and strawberries made such a purely sweet combo alone that I didn't need the whip cream or syrup at all. The waffle itself is super moist and soft. No complaints at all, would come back if I ever was in town.“

“Was in the area and was really craving Italian food. After some searching, it looks like Leonardo's was high up there and we decided to give it a try. At first we tried making reservations through open table but they only had a few late spots left. Not liking the options we called the restaurant directly and was able to get seated two hours before the time initially displayed on open table. That was nice given that we were so hungry. We liked that this place was a little further down from the epicenter of the Solvang village so there were ample parking. The restaurant was also very easy to locate. Upon walking in you can tell the ambiance was a little more fancier with their white table cloths but still has a mom and pop feel to it. We got seated near the back of the restaurant where they had an enclosed patio with ceiling heaters. Our server was Arturo and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and even given us a few recommendations. We ordered a carpaccio, the pepperoni pizza, cioppino (recommended), Leonardo's penne, the bolognese, branzino (recommended) and chicken Marsala along with a few glasses of wine. Everything was delicious. The carpaccio was good, pepperoni pizza was amazing, the cioppino was light but filling as it was all seafood. The penne and bolognese pastas were cooked and flavored to perfection. The branzino and chicken Marsala were moist and flavorful, they also came with really good potatoes. Really nice family dinner here. The server always made sure we had everything to our liking and was personable. If I visit Leonardo's again I'm definitely coming back for the pizzas and pasta!“

“This is our second visit to L&L Vineyard. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We did a couple of tasting flights. My favorite remains to be the cabernet franc but the Syrah and petit Syrah was also good. Also tried the port with chocolate and wow that was new and fun. Nice little place with wine barrels for tables. Not too many seats and a little area for wine club members. Go and enjoy. They also offer a cheese platter to enjoy with your wine that looked good.“

“Love the wine tasting there. The worker knows her stuff about feliz noche wine. We didn't feel rush like in some other winery's which I liked. The ambiance was good. Music was on point. I will be going back and buying a bottle or two.“

“This place was recommended to me by King Fredericks and I am so happy they did!! Thank you Rhoda! I ordered the red chilaqulas spicy and it was so good. I'd ordered them with scrambled eggs and got fried egg instead but it wasn't bad. Love the salsa. Love the staff, they're all so friendly and that is hard to find these days. Thank you Taco Rocos for a great first experience and I will be back!!“

“Ramen is just ok, had to order Chashu on the side because the ramen I ordered lacked flavor, seemed kind oddly pasty. The Chashu itself was ok also, nothing special. Did not want to keep add stuff just to make it better. Just ok. Maybe an off day.“

“Really delicious and authentic Danish food. Served fast even when they're busy. I would recommend getting a sandwich with either the Danish meatball and sausage, which are very unique and are a must-try while you're in the town. And of course you have to try their æbleskiver! I would recommend this place.“

“This was our second wine tasting of the day and I was very interested to try their sweet fruit wines.We were seated at the bar area right away. They were pretty busy and have limited seating so I was happy to get seated so quickly in a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the fruit wine flight and my husband did the roblar flight. We both took sips from each others' and enjoyed the difference in sweet and traditional wine.Our server was super nice and gave us a detailed description with each different pour. The ambiance was not as nice as the other winery we had just visited but it was to be expected since Royal Oaks is located in the busy town center of Solvang. They were however decorated nicely for Christmas of course!My favorites were the Cherry Amour and Elderberry so I took some bottles home with me. I would come back again to see what other seasonal fruit wines they have later on!“

“Small little taco shop, nothing compared to socal tacos but the food was okay and the service was great. We had to send the enchilada platter back since the entire plate was cold even after they reheated it. However, the staff questioned why we didn’t eat it and offered us full refund for the food. Great service so we left the refund as a tip for the servers.“

“We played bocce tonight and then went for dinner and drinks in the restaurant. It was a gorgeous night and the patio was very busy! We had a large group which I understand can be more difficult. Eric was AMAZING in getting us sat. He was running all over the place wearing many hats. With how busy he was, he still made us feel seen. He took our order and brought as chips, salsa, fries, and onion rings as an apology. He worked his butt off tonight and it was very apparent how passionate he is about his job and how much he cares about the guest experience. Overall, although we had to wait a bit longer than we would have liked, he personally, along with the rest of the very friendly staff, made sure that we were satisfied and had a fantastic evening!“

“Wine: 4 stars Ambiance: 4.5 Stars Service: 3 Stars Wine: We enjoyed the wines here. I liked having the carafes on hand so we could pour at our own pace. I normally gravitate towards Pinot Noirs, but we ended up purchasing a 2017 Zinfandel which was a surprise hit. Ambiance: Loved the deck and patio area. The seating areas overlooking the vineyard are so peaceful and each are set far enough a part that you don't feel crowded. It was even more magical when the overhead string lights popped on as the sun was setting. I only wished there was a little more table space for wine, water, tasting carafes and food - but I'll take the blame for that since we picked our own table out. Service: We did not feel super welcome upon arrival. We were told we were the last reservation for the day (and we were right on time), but made to feel like that was an inconvenience somehow? We were told we could sit anywhere, but our server appeared exasperated when we took a moment to decide whether we wanted to be on the deck or patio area. I chalked it up to it just being a long busy day, but things did not get better. After being seated, it took a very long time for our server to return. Once our flight of wine was finally delivered, she began to walk away, before catching herself, realizing she didn't even give us any context or background on the wines or the winery. And even so, she really gave us the bare minimum. It was a bummer being in such a lovely setting, and not having the service match.“

“I came here for the chicken pot pie and it didn't disappoint. That along with the Poutine and guacamole bacon burger were all delicious. It was a raining day and the restaurant is welcoming and cozy. The absolute best thing about the experience was the staff. Mikala was AMAZING. As the rain came down more, more people started to come in and all areas of the restaurant had people in them and she never missed a beat. She was alone in the front and there was the cook in the back and together they helped everyone in a timely manner. I was impressed by her calm demeanor and ability to attend to everyone and get the food out and refill drinks. bus tables and still smile the whole time. As busy as it was there was no pressure feeling or rush to leave. I will for sure visit again the next time we are in town.“

“Did a tasting today. Jeff is friendly, knowledgeable, and apparently involved in every form of distillation possible. The setting is tranquil and private. by far the best place we visited on this tour. I can’t recommend making an appointment for a tasting enough it was truly a memorable day for us because of this stop alone.“

“Robin made sure we had a lovely experience at Lincourt! 3 of us showed up without a reservation but she seated us at a lovely patio table immediately. She served our tasting with brief but good descriptions of the wine. She did her job so well that she talked one of my friends into joining the wine club! (Wine club members get a free tasting at this and other properties.) she even took our picture at the end. Wonderful wine tasting stop!“

“We were in Solvang for Spring break and little did we expect many restaurants were closed for Easter Sunday dinner. We had Easter Sunday buffet for lunch and therefore did not make reservation for dinner, expecting to eat light. By dinner time, we were nervous to find out that Japanese Ramen, Italian pizza spots were all closed. We came across this little restaurant and after saying we had no reservation, we were able to seat in the back room (like covered patio). The 3 families of 6 adults and 5 kids actually had a good time, enjoying a great meal at this place, with the room all to ourselves. Food was unexpectedly tasty. Several of us ordered Danish dishes and they were good. I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich that I have not had in years. No complaints, just compliments. Service was okay, not great (I strongly believe that for big parties, when restaurants charge 20% tip regardless, service may be subpar no matter what). In our case we did not care, we had a good family gathering time. I would recommend this restaurant for very tasty food and if you were seated in main restaurant part, you may get better service.“

“I came here in December 2023 but just found the receipt and had to leave a review. This is an unassuming authentic Italian restaurant in the back of a plaza in Solvang. It is just around the corner from the Mermaid statute and probably a better time! We arrived after having a long wait and a disappointing dinner at a Danish restaurant nearby. It was late, but we walked by and thought, a slice of pizza would be nice and they seated us right away. We sat at the bar, the kitchen is open, bustling, the owner is sipping on wine and working with his staff. Its a fun and lively environment. We ordered the Quattro Stagioni, Polpette Al Sugo, and their Tiramisu - so basically pizza, meatballs, and tiramisu. The pizza was so crispy and flavorful, the meatballs were so so delicious and cheesy, the tiramisu was perfect and not too sweet. The owner was lovely and chatted with us about how he ended up here in Solvang and opened this shop. Everything, including dessert, is made in house and he just has a electric oven that he makes pasta, pizzas, meatballs, and sometimes other dinners for parties. Overall our dinner here made our stay in Solvang much nicer and a fun memory. I would return here in a heartbeat if I return to Solvang!“

“I ate onion soup, hot wings, and a burger?The onion soup was a bit salty and the hot wings had a hot sauce flavor base, so I think there will be some opinions. The burger was delicious ?The atmosphere was nice as we ate outside while the sun was shining before sunset.?The servers are also friendly haha.“

“We have tried Paula's and we have tried Brekkies, so we decided to try this cafe. We were lucky in terms of there were 11 of us and they were able to place us at 3 tables next to each other. Food items were similar to other breakfast restaurants. Coffee was okay. But the wait staff was pretty good. All in all we enjoyed our breakfast and may eat there again.“

“This 5 star rating is purely nostalgia for me. Growing up in the valley and then working here when I was 17/ 18. After camping at Lake Cachuma with my kids my brother, nephew and niece, we decided to go get some food in solvang and I could not imagine going anywhere else to bring back old memories.“

“Menu was large, may be a little too much for some but certainly enough for variety. They had 3 different menus, a little overwhelming to look over. However, the cook/cashier was very friendly, the food came out quick in about 5 minutes and it was delicious. We had 2 hamburgers and 1 carne asada taco. Hamburgers tasted fresh. The taco had a nice cook on the tortilla, carne asada was tender and juicy, onions were cooked, and the hot sauce that came with it had a deep depth of flavor and perfect level of spiciness. Went last night and we're going back today!“

“Delicious is understatement. If you are a pizza and pasta lover this is a must. My husband and I ate here on a Saturday night. The service was fast and our food was fresh. I ordered a margarita pizza and my husband ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta. You can taste the authenticity from the pizza dough to the pasta noodles. **Chefs kiss** Our waitress was nice & told me everything is made from scratch in house by the chef. We will definitely come back whenever we're in town to try the rest of the menu!“
