Vegetarian Friendly Restaurants on the SF Peninsula

155 places in 18 towns

These are places where a vegetarian can order a real meal, not just a side salad. Some are fully meatless, but most are regular restaurants with a solid set of vegetable, tofu, bean or cheese dishes. San Mateo and Burlingame have the deepest lists. If you avoid fish sauce, meat broth or animal fats, ask when you order, since kitchens handle this differently.
