Best Vegetarian / Vegan Restaurants in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

The hummus and chopped salad I had today were absolutely delicious. This is a great place to meet my vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free friends--so many choices!

I had such a great experience at Taste of Beauty! This place is truly unique, with an incredible vibe and beautifully presented dishes that are all plant-based. Every time I come here, it feels like I’m in for something new and exciting, and this time was no different. They recently revamped their menu, and I love the changes. Now you can order à la carte, which gives so much more freedom to try different things! The new setup is great because you don’t have to commit to a whole set menu; you can mix and match whatever catches your eye. I tried a few different dishes this time, and every single one was a winner—so fresh, flavorful, and really creative. The staff is super friendly and genuinely excited about the food they’re serving, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a spot with amazing plant-based options and a relaxed but stylish atmosphere, Taste of Beauty is definitely worth checking out. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Delicious food served with friendly smiles on a lovely patio. I thought I'd be cold sitting outside in November, but the covered portion of the patio by the fireplace was toasty warm and well sheltered from any cold breezes. The wine recommendation was excellent and reasonably priced, and the menu easily accommodated our different tastes. We'll definitely be back!

Fabulous food and very relaxing and peaceful sitting outside. Wonderful fire pit!!

It was a lovely afternoon. I think it’s a bit expensive for what it is but it’s nice none the less.
