How to read these listings
Venues describe their plant-based food in different ways, and the cards keep each one’s wording. Some menus name a dish. Romeo Cucina’s dinner menu lists a Primavera Vegana, and Royal Hawaiian’s lists a Vegan Tikka Masala. Some use a key. Harvest marks vegetarian dishes with a V, and Royal Hawaiian’s key marks vegetarian and vegan dishes. Others state only that vegan or vegetarian options exist, as Mozambique, Nirvana by Chef Lindsay, Oto Sushi and Truly Pizza do. Two cards lean on the owner’s sister-site listings: Saigon Beach, where the restaurant’s own site shows no menu, and Zinc Cafe & Market, whose own menu mentions veggie sausage, a veggie patty and tofu.
A line on a website is not an ingredient list. If you avoid dairy, eggs, honey or cross-contact, ask the staff how a dish is made. Menus change by season, and Harvest and Nirvana both say theirs do.
By part of town
The Village. Five of the ten are in The Village: Oto Sushi, Q Terrace, Romeo Cucina, Nirvana by Chef Lindsay and Zinc Cafe & Market. The Village restaurant guide covers the rest of the area. For Italian menus beyond Romeo Cucina, see Italian food and pizza, and for more Japanese kitchens, sushi and Japanese.
North Laguna. Royal Hawaiian and Truly Pizza are both in the 300 block of North Coast Highway.
Woods Cove and South Laguna. Mozambique and Saigon Beach are both in the 1700 block of South Coast Highway. Harvest is farther south, at The Ranch at Laguna Beach, in the 31000 block. The South Laguna restaurant guide covers that stretch.
Markets and parking
The farmers market is a separate page, since its vendors change. Read the parking guide before you drive to any of them, and use the getting around guide for the trolley. A day plan that stops near several of these places is on the one day in Laguna page.
What qualifies
A venue is listed only when its own website or its sister-site listing states a vegan or vegetarian offer. A restaurant that does not say so is left off, even if staff can adapt dishes. Call a restaurant to confirm before a special trip, because menus change.
