Sebastopol Offers Some of the Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants
From the bounty of the many farms and orchards in the area, the small town of Sebastopol, California, offers some of Sonoma County’s best vegetarian restaurants. Whether it’s casual or more upscale eating you’re after, there’s something to satisfy every meatless appetite here in Sonoma Wine Country.
Cozy Plum Bistro
Cozy Plum Bistro is heralded as being one of the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in the North Bay. This isn’t your typical vegetarian eatery with a few simple, basic menu items such as salads and quinoa bowls. Cozy Plum takes vegetarian cuisine to a new level. Each dish is an explosion of color and flavor, from the tacos and burritos to the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.
La Bodega Kitchen
La Bodega Kitchen offers a 100% vegetarian menu at its Sebastopol restaurant, but it’s not what you may expect. Dishes include hearty favorites such as Sheperd’s pie, “Red, White, and Green” lasagna (made with chard, bechamel sauce, ricotta, pesto, cauliflower, and marinara), and wild mushroom and artichoke raviolis. With the added perk of being owned by Sonoma Wine Shop, the wine selection at La Bodega is impressive, and the prices on bottles are better than most places in Sonoma County (thanks to the business purchasing wines for two locations, a retail shop, and their wine club).
Viva Mexicana
Voted best Mexican food in Sebastopol, Viva Mexicana specializes in gourmet Oaxacan-style Mexican food and is a paradise for hungry vegans. While it’s not 100% vegetarian, the restaurant cooks without lard, serves a dairy-free horchata, and has an extensive selection of vegan dishes, such as vegan-friendly elote, huevos rancheros, quesadillas, nachos, tacos, and even a meat-free burrito in a tomato tortilla.
Muir’s Tea Room
Located in a lavishly restored historic Queen Anne Victorian, Muir’s Tea Room is inspired by legendary Scottish-born conservationist and tea lover, John Muir. This inspiring site combines the beauty of nature with whimsical tea-room decor, a stunning cottage garden, and delicious, plant-based savories and desserts.
Using organic and fresh ingredients from Muir’s own Sebastopol Farm, signature scones, sandwiches, and gluten-free options are made fresh daily for weekend high-tea, themed events, parties, catering, and popular pick-up dinners.
The Nectary at the Barlow
You’ll find all sorts of Vegan and raw food options in the to-go case at The Nectary, the first juice and smoothie apothecary bar of its kind. It serves a unique assortment of 100 percent organic fresh cold-pressed juices; superfood and green smoothies; and probiotic beverages such as fruit-and-herbal-infused Kefir, Jun, and Kombucha.
Fuel up with acai bowls, healthy “shots” to support immunity, hot tonics and teas, and a selection of hand-crafted snacks. The seasonal menu here is full of fresh and local Sonoma County organic produce.
