After 25 years of writing about food and travel, I can honestly say—San Francisco makes it easy (and exciting) to eat vegetarian. Whether you're a lifelong herbivore or just looking to mix more plant-based meals into your trip, I’ve found spots here that are both creative and comforting. You’ll discover cozy neighborhood cafes, sleek modern bistros, and even hole-in-the-wall gems that made me do a happy dance after the first bite. If you love food that’s fresh, seasonal, and full of personality, you’re going to love what San Francisco has to offer.
