Orange County CA Dining
Monday, January 5th, 2009There are several good veg friendly restaurants in Orange County CA. For those of you that don’t know the OC is about 30 miles south of Los Angeles and is known for its beaches and malls.
Rutabegorz (Tustin and Orange Locations)- Mainly veg home cooked food with huge portions. Try the squash that got stuffed, mexican casserole, black bean tostada, chili, and their soups and salads.
Gypsy Den (santa Ana)- Hip/Artsy Cafe in the Art district with many good veg options. Try the quiche, chilli, sandwiches, desserts, and chai latte. Live music on Friday and saturday nights.
India Cook House (Irvine)- Excellent north indian restaurant with many veg options. Get the vegetarian thali as that is the best deal. The eggplant is to die for.
Cantamar (Huntington Beach)- The best veggie burrito in the OC, bar none.. They also have a veggie quesadilla.
Natraj’s Tandoori (Tustin marketplace)- North indian quick casual restaurant with several veg options. They offer 2 and 3 dish combos for a good price. I like the eggplant, spinach, and channa masala.
Au Lac (Fountain Valley)-Veg chinese and vietnames food. Here you can try “veggie” fish, shrimp, squid, beef, chicken, etc. It is amazing how realistic everything is.
Thai Spice (Tustin Marketplace)-Many veg options but I reccomend the spicy garlic tofu.
