- Part 3 of 9 - California1
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- This guide contains a world list of vegetarian restaurants,
- vegetarian-friendly restaurants, natural food stores, vegetarian
- organizations, etc.
-
- If you have any additions or corrections please e-mail them to
- one of the below listed regional co-ordinators and/or myself.
-
- ** Format your corrections and new entries in the same format as **
- ** those in the listings. Keep comments and reviews short, simple, **
- ** and straight to the point. Explicitly specify any listings **
- ** which are to be removed. Correctly formatted updates will be **
- ** listed in the next release of the guide. Improperly formatted **
- ** and/or ciphered updates may never make it. **
-
- Proper formatting will cut down on errors, save the co-ordinators
- a lot of precious time, and thus allow the guide to be updated
- quicker and released more frequently.
-

-
-
- San Diego
- ---------
-
- Coastal California is pretty vegetarian friendly (which probably
- won't suprise anyone). Here in San Diego, veggies are redily
- accomodated at most restaurants. Also, the print media, in particular
- the weekly "Reader" freebie magazine, considers vegetarians when
- reviewing restaurants. When visiting an omnivore restaurant, the
- reviewer will add something like "vegetarians will love all the
- wonderful options" or "good selection of vegetarian entrees" in her
- reviews. I've found a lot of great restaurants this way. If you drive
- east, you're on your own. Lots of rednecks east of San Diego.
-
-
- Vegetarian Restaurants:
-
- Faque Burger, 6109 University (at College Ave), 583-9520
- - Vegan. Soy Burgers, fries, shakes & soda. Run by 7th Day Adventists.

- of restaurant is pronounced as 'Fake Burger'.
-
- | Kung Food, 2949 Fifth Ave. (at Quince), Hillcrest, 298-7302.
- | - Vegetarian restaurant with a natural food store/new age shop next
- | door. Considered by some to be an exceptional restaurant. Considered
- | by others to be a vastly over-rated restaurant with it's share of
- | unappetizing dishes.
-
- Govinda's, 3102 University (near 30th St.), North Park, 284-4826.
- - Hare Krishna lacto-vegetarian restaurant.
-
- Govinda's At The Beach, 1030 Grand Ave., Pacific Beach, 483-2500.
- - Hare Krishna lacto-vegetarian restaurant.
-
- Jyoti-Bihanga, 3351 Adams Ave., Normal Heights, 282-4116.
- - Sri-Chiminoy vegetarian restaurant. Personally, my favorite, with a
- Saturday morning all-you-can-eat vegetarian breakfast buffet
- (7:30am-12:00pm) that is the best I've come across anywhere.
-
- Jimbo's Pizza Naturally, 3910 30th Street, North Park, 294-9611.
- - Non-dairy and macrobiotic pizza & beer. Saturday all-you-can-eat
- vegetarian breakfast buffet. Also market with organic produce/grains.
-
- House of Afrika Roots Rock Reggae Cafe, 355 North Highway 101,
- Solana Beach, 259-0803.
- - Excellent!!! Highly recommended, for atmosphere if nothing else.
-
- Eat It Raw, 1163 First Street, Encinitas, 942-5945.
- - Basically a juice and salad bar, not really a restaurant.
- Still, worth a stop.
-
- Mother's Kitchen, 33120 Canfield Road, Junction S6 & S7, Palomar Mountain,
- 742-3496.
- - Quite a ways from San Diego (better part of two hours drive), but
- a nice little place on a very pretty mountainside.
-
- Che Cafe, UCSD Campus, 534-2311.

-
- Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:
-
- Soup Exchange, Souplantation, Soups Unlimited..., all over San Diego.
- - Both Soup Exchange and Souplantation offer one or two vegetarian
- soups each day. I've found Souplantation, overall, to be more
- vegetarian friendly than Soup Exchange.
-
- Sandwiched Inn, 927 Silverado, La Jolla, open 8:30-3:30.
- - Friendly, and lots of vegan sandwiches.
-
- Cafe India, 9760-5 Sports Arena Blvd
- - Great samosas, and $4.50 all-you-can-eat vegetarian lunch Tues-Sat.
-
- Imperial Wok, 5771 La Jolla Blvd, 454-8625.
- - I've never been there, but here's a quote from their ad:
- "And for our vegetarian friends... Yang's Famous Vegetarian Menu.
- We use a special family recipe of exotic spices and careful
- preparation to offer you delicious entrees with tastes of chicken,
- beef, duck, or scallops, yet completely vegetarian."
-
- Star of India, Prospect Ave in La Jolla.

- - Middle Eastern.
-
- Grain Country, 3448 30th St (near Upas), North Park, 298-1052
- - Macrobiotic with grocery.
-
- Thai:
- - 'Vegetarian' in Thai means 'substitute tofu for flesh'. Be sure to
- insist on no fish sauce or other animal products.
- Taste of Thai, 527 University Ave, Hillcrest, 291-7525
- - All dishes can be made vegetarian, but watch out... they press and
- flavor tofu to resemble duck meat, and it's a bit too realistic for
- some of us. :-) The service is the best of any restaurant I've been
- in anywhere, and the owner is a man with a true love for the
- restaurant business. My SO and I are very frequent customers of
- Taste of Thai, and we recommend that anyone stopping in San Diego
- give them a try.
- Saffron, 3731B India St, 574-0177
