Julia's Vegetarian Restaurant

Super charming Julia's Vegetarian Restaurant!

The seating area is cute with happy vibes.

Food is fresh and delicious. The service is amazing. It's easy to rsvp on Yelp and got seated assoc. as we arrived.

I like the decor and cool art on the wall.

I definitely will return to eat here again. Highly recommend it to anyone who is up for a delicious and freshly cooked vegetarian meal.

Amazing food, the best local mushrooms in town.
Amazing service
We love this restaurant
We will come back very soon

Okay, wow! This place was not only consistently absolutely delicious but had such a charming and cozy atmosphere. Just look how cute the outdoor seating is!

The vegan smokehouse pizza was some of the best pizza I've ever had in my life (I ate non vegan for the first 20 years of my life). The crust was fluffy yet crispy, and delicious with the truffle oil and sea salt. The menu said it came with lions mane mushrooms but those were not present on the pizza. Despite this, 10/10.
We also got a plate of the fried oyster mushrooms and the garlic aioli and lemon really elevated the flavor. Perfectly crunchy and chewy. Next time I want to get the mushroom sampler!
We also got the Big Sur IPA to pair and just had the best time. Great service - food came fast, fresh and beautiful. Will be back again when in town.

Came in on a winter day before noon. Wasn't very busy but got busier at lunch hour. Under new management as of 11/23, the former manager is now the owner. He is as passionate about mushrooms as the previous owner so he is carrying on the traditions.

We started with fried mushrooms then had the tamale pie and the flautas. All of them were excellent. The tamale pie comes with beans and rice and salsa. The flautas were two fried tortillas - think large tacquitos - filled with amazingly tasty mushroom filling, a great little salad and guacamole.

They have a large vegan dessert selection. We got a sampler of Black Forest cake, apple crisp and marzipan brownie. The marzipan brownie was like the best fudge. Didn't live the other two so would try different pastries next time but still great.

The restroom is designed like a cave with wall paintings - it's an experience.

Outstanding friendly service and q great meal. Everything is vegan except for items with eggs or cheese, so it's wonderful not to have to ask.

This place has really gone downhill. When a restaurant looks this shoddy and dirty from where your meal is served, just can imagine how nasty it must be where your meal is being prepared!

Julia's Vegetarian Restaurant has been a staple on the Monterey Peninsula for over a decade, and for good reason. This establishment stands out as the premier vegan and vegetarian restaurant, committed to delivering top-notch quality dishes crafted from fresh, local ingredients. Their dedication to the community is evident in everything they do.

Notably, Julia's is renowned for their wild and exotic mushrooms and house-brewed kombuchas on tap. The menu showcases a delightful and inventive twist on vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free cuisine. During my visit, I indulged in their famed fried "egg & bacon" sandwich, which proved to be exceptional. Additionally, their hot chocolate infused with mushrooms was a revelation.

The ambiance at Julia's is both earthy and relaxed, boasting wooden tables and cozy seating. The eclectic decor in the bathroom adds a unique touch to the overall experience. The service was warm and welcoming, with our server taking the time to guide us through the menu, making our visit all the more enjoyable.

I highly recommend Julia's for anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience focused on quality, creativity, and a genuine commitment to the community.

Easy parking and lovely staff!
Loved all the menu options, specially the desert menu. Pizza was delicious as well.
Next time when I am in town, this will be my first stop, to try more deserts on their menu.

very delicious
I went there with my dog, they allowed me to bring my dog in the restaurant, which was very nice of them:)

All is very good ,tasty and Delicious and All is Vegan/Vegetarian
Nice place and great service

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places ever! The dishes are on the pricier side but it is a nice treat every once in a while! The service is great and they are extremely friendly. Unfortunately, they didn't have the French Toast I usually get on my recent visit but the chilaquiles were very good as well. The ambiance is fun and the bathrooms are actually really cool! Ha!
