This year marks my 8th year living in Los Angeles. I’ve tried a lot of vegan restaurants and have also seen a lot come and go. Even though restaurants are currently closed for indoor dining due to the pandemic, a lot of restaurants are offering take-out and delivery options. Whether you are planning your next delivery order or your next vacation, these are (in my opinion) the best vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in (and around) Los Angeles.

Best Vegan Restaurants in Los Angeles
Veggie Grill (several locations)
This is kind of cheating because Veggie Grill is a chain restaurant and not a Los Angeles-specific restaurant. If you already have a Veggie Grill where you come from, you can skip it. However, I couldn’t leave it off the list! This is a great option for a variety of reasons. Veggie Grill is a fast-food-style restaurant and it’s 100% vegan! They are pretty affordable and there are so many in LA so you are likely to come across one in your travels if you are in a pinch and need a quick meal!
My Top Picks: Nachos, Buffalo Wings, Buffalo Chickin’, Caesar Salad, Carrot Cake, Sweet Potato Fries
Veggie Grill is available for takeout and delivery via Postmates, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats (get $20 off your first order at Uber Eats, use eats-jessicak19580ue at checkout.)
Nic’s on Beverly (8265 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048)
There is a reason why this one is so high up on my list, Nic’s on Beverly is a contemporary upscale vegan restaurant with a full bar. They have a large outdoor patio as well as indoor seating. They offer classic American dishes with a spin by combining flavors of multiple cultures.
