Vegan restaurants in Los Angeles
Written by Gillian McKeith
Los Angeles has the best raw material of any city on this list. The farmers markets are extraordinary and the growing season never really stops, so there is no excuse for a tired salad anywhere in this town. When a Los Angeles kitchen gets it right, it is as good as vegan food gets.
I have left off the places trading purely on wellness language. These ones cook. No payment, no arrangement, just my opinion.
