Best Vegan Restaurants in Toluca Lake

Great spot for delicious food, and dining experience, while listening to live music. Can’t be any better than that!

Our server was super kind and had great recommendations for us. Despite the crazy winds and fire warning, the staff were very attentive, food was out quickly, and overall had a terrific birthday dinner with my family. Can’t wait to come back to my favourite restaurant in the valley.

I took two of my non vegan friends there for dinner. They loved it!! Food is delicious and the service was excellent.

First thing we noticed was how the music set the tone (literally) for the night. We were greeted by the awesome sounds of a great playlist that seemed to fit the theme of a classic throwback restaurant (I’m not sure if I can explain what I mean, something about the ambiance took me back to when my family and I would make a big event about eating a fancy dinner). Anyways, my husband and I decided to look at the menu days in advance, but we couldn’t help but want everything. What we ended up choosing was: Calamari Frites, Kale Caesar Salad, Mushroom Scallops, Grilled Lion’s Mane Steak, and Eggplant Shortrib. And yes, the calamari was AMAZING. We couldn’t believe that it wasn’t real calamari. We just had to ask our server and she revealed to us that it was oyster mushrooms (yeah that makes sense, it has a great texture). The Caesar salad is sort of misleading because it doesn’t look like a big serving, but it’s very filling. The eggplant shortrib and the grilled lion’s mane steak came out, and my husband looked delighted and confused. “Wait this can’t be plant-based, can it?” The steak was delicious. The shortrib was good, but we preferred the steak for sure. We’ll be definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Our next treat: the pizzas hopefully.

The staff was absolutely amazing when we came on Christmas Day. Our party was running past 15 minutes and after arriving they were able to accommodate us after waiting patiently to be squeezed in. I can’t thank the manager and his staff enough for how amazing and their graciousness for allowing us to be able to experience their Christmas menu! Thank you again and happy holidays!
