Whether you’re scheduling a first Hinge meetup or a wedding anniversary dinner, environment is everything! Because we understand this struggle oh-so-well, we’ve created this list of the seven best vegan restaurants for a date night in Los Angeles.

Nic’s On Beverly

Beverly Grove

Book a table at Nic’s On Beverly for an unforgettable dinner! From the aesthetic patio and dining room to the impeccable service, this eatery is top-notch. But no matter what, order one of the Detroit-style pizzas to share.

Pura Vita

West Hollywood & Redondo Beach

This vegan Italian restaurant is our go-to destination for a vegan date night in LA. Because you can never go wrong with pasta, pizza, and wine! Bonus points if you slurp up Pura Vita’s Spaghetti Carbonara with your boo Lady and the Tramp style.

Shojin

Culver City & Downtown LA

This upscale eatery presents vegan Japanese fare at its finest! For first-timers, we suggest ordering the Chef’s Special Tasting Menu. First, dig into appetizers and bites like gyoza, maple glazed Brussels sprouts, and crispy rice. After that, enjoy several rolls of sushi and nigiri.

Crossroads Kitchen

Beverly Grove & Calabasas

Without a doubt, Crossroads Kitchen is among the best upscale restaurants for a vegan date night in LA! The celeb hot spot serves innovative Mediterranean food you can’t find anywhere else. For example, the artichoke oysters offer a taste and texture unlike any other vegan appetizer in town.

Donna Jean

Sherman Oaks

Do you have a case of the first-date jitters? Then allow Donna Jean’s delicious wine and food to put you at ease. From artisan vegan cheeses and fresh pasta to pizza and cheesecake, each dish is made from simple, locally sourced ingredients. Cheers to that!

Seabirds Kitchen

Long Beach & Santa Ana

For our Long Beach and OC crowd, Seabirds Kitchen is the move! If you want to enjoy a multi-course meal, then select a few small plates and entrees. If you just want a dessert to end the night, then go for Seabirds’ famous churro-waffle hybrid, The Chaffle!

O’cado

Sherman Oaks

You can celebrate any occasion or craving at this plant-based eatery. Because the menu covers a variety of cuisines! For instance, you can order American burgers, Mexican tostadas, German pretzels, and more. Might we suggest ringing in Taco Tuesday with vegan margaritas and tacos?
