Vegan friendly central Los Angeles

Anyone have some vegan friendly recs for dinner.

Doesn’t have to be pure vegan but enough that a vegan person might have options. Looking in the corridor from Culver City across the 10 to downtown. I would prefer to venture less north if possible but I have drawn a rough map for reference thanks!

Surawon in Koreatown has vegan options.

Never been to the Los Feliz location but I like Seabirds for a vegan restaurant.

I love taking the 405 La Cienega exit!

Coming off the freeway and the stretch coming down from hahn to Venice blvd can be such a nightmare!

I don’t want it to be totally vegan cause I have to eat too!

Also should have clarified it’s for a bday so a nicer spot with drinks and vibe.

Thanks seems that there’s only a few things that are vegan on pizzeria mozza’s menu :frowning:

Olivia might be one. Have you been? How was it?

Alta Adams, Flavors from Afar, Lalibela (ask for oil instead of butter).

i thought mozza had the most options so far besides olivia? (pane bianco, panzanella, polenta fritti, baby eggplant, zucchine a scapece, jimmy nardello peppers, gelati, you can always ask for a marinara pie)

olivia is the best vegan-wise, simply because it offers the widest range of vegan options - all of the other places are more constricted in that the vegan options are heavily weighted to vegetable dishes, as opposed to having appetizer/main options. but for non-vegans… it’s still good! but the playing field is not even.

It did! But didn’t seem to have anything too substantive other than panzanella and baby eggplant/zucchini which I think is hardy enough for a meal for one person.

Does anyone know if Baar baar downtown has vegan offerings? Looking at the menu a lot of things seem like they could be vegan but its hard to tell.

Carousel in Hollywood has some great vegan options, and lots of non vegan stuff too.

Yeah. Lebanese/Armenian or Israeli are awesome choices for vegans. I’ve historically preferred Marouch to Carousel, but our last delivery from Marouch seemed to show a decline, and I do like Carousel.

Reviving this thread any other vegan friendly options? Open to west side also. Really want to go to gjelina but might be too far

So far with my vegan friend we’ve done Baar Baar, Saffys, botanica, bavel.

Grain Cafe is 100% vegan. The request here is for vegan-friendly.

Thanks for rec but yeah looking for vegan friendly! I want to have the option of meat products lol

Elf, Kismet, Maccheroni Republic (most pastas are eggless), Azizam, Baroo, Majordomo (e.g., mushroom crispy rice), Kushiba.

I’m not Vegan or vegetarian and I really like this place. The big plus is it’s proximity to Mateo’s.
