Best Vegetarian Restaurant(s) in San Francisco?

Question

I want to take a friend from out of town to a great vegetarian, not necessarily vegan, restaurant in the San Francisco or Sausalito area.

Answer 1

If you don't want to spend the $ at Greens, and you want to come over to the East Bay, then you can check out Udupi Palace -- a  really, really good vegetarian Indian spot on University & MLK.  Not fancy at all, though.  Just good food.

The Cafe Gratitide here in Berkeley is good, and I hear they have one in SF.  Great vegan food in a casual atmosphere -- if you can put up with the schtick.

Answer 2

Here's a link to a directory of vegan, vegetarian, and veg-friendly restaurants in San Francisco:

And in the San Francisco Bay area:

Gaylord is a veg-friendly restaurant in Sausalito (201 Bridgeway).  But it may not be okay for your friend to eat at a restaurant that's not purely vegetarian, so ask him or her.

You should have no trouble at all, as San Francisco has got to be the most vegetarian-friendly place in the world!

Good luck!

Answer 3

Millenium Restaurant

Answer 4

greens at fort mason

Answer 5

If you're into Japanese cuisine, there is Cha-Ya Vegetarian Japanese Restaurant in the Mission at 762 Valencia St. Also, while you're in the Mission, you could consider the standby vegetarian restaurant, Herbivore, at 983 Valencia Street

Answer 6

Go to Ananda Fuara, it is the best and on market street...

to answer your question in my question: because the government can't tax LSD, the same reason why weed is illegal...  If you have ever been to SF, go to Haight-Ashbury and stop beeing such a nerd.

Answer 7

If you are interested in vegetarian Chinese cuisine, check out Golden Era (http://www.goldeneravegetarian.com/).  I went there with a group of meat eaters (I'm one of them) a little while back.  and all of us enjoyed the food there.  Note: It's in a slighty sketchy part of town (on the border of Union Square and the Tenderloin).

Answer 8
