San Francisco Restaurant Guide - Vegetarian Restaurants

Outside of Burma, San Francisco must have the highest per capita ratio of vegetarians anywhere in the country. Eco-forward and socially-conscious, San Franciscans love their vegetarian restaurants and the generous variety of San Francisco vegetarian restaurants proves the city's affinity for seitan, tofu and other sophisticated meat substitutes, not to mention inventive vegetarian takes on traditional American cuisine. Locals flock to vegetarian restaurants like Herbivore, Greens Restaurant in Fort Mason and the all-meatless Golden Era Vegetarian restaurant in the Tenderloin. San Francisco's Millennium restaurant downtown takes the vegetarian ideal to an upscale level, offering innovative vegetarian fare in a classy dining room.
