There are numerous websites that list and review vegan-friendly and totally vegan restaurants in Los Angeles. Many of them update frequently with information about new restaurants, closings, menu changes, new hours, prices and management. Here are some of the more reliable and extensive sources of information on vegan restaurants in Los Angeles. Note that there are dozens of vegan Thai and many vegan-friendly Indian and Ethiopian restaurants that may not show up on these lists because they are too numerous.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Vegan LA is a great but not comprehensive source of information about vegan restaurants in Los Angeles, including bakeries and late night eateries. The site also has information about vegan grocery store items. It is the best place to get up to date information, including new openings, closings and changes to existing restaurants and bakeries. The forums are a great place to ask questions and get a quick response.
Step 2

Happy Cow is a guide to vegetarian restaurants and health food stores worldwide. Just type in your zip code and it will pull up a list of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants nearby.
Step 3

The VegGuide has a huge alphabetical listing of restaurants that claim to be vegan-friendly. Be careful with this list, though. Not all of the restaurants on it are as vegan-friendly as they would like you to believe.
Step 4

For reviews of vegan restaurants in Los Angeles, see the blogs Quarry Girl and To Live and Eat in L.A.

Tips & Warnings

For vegan restaurants in Los Angeles that stay open late, try Swingers or The Waffle in West Hollywood, or Toi on Wilshire and Sunset
