LA Herbivore was launched in 2025, but our vegan journey started a few years before that. Food has always been a shared language for our city, and the burgeoning LA vegan food scene is a unique creole that is being written in real-time. It’s a stimulating time to live here. For us, this is a journey worth sharing.
Mission
LA Herbivore is inspired by the restaurants who bet on their values and make strong contributions to the fabric of one of the world’s most vegan-friendly cities. We publish in-depth restaurant reviews with the goal of interrogating the vegan dining scene as a whole – – who we are, how we connect to each other and what drives our tastes.
Our Omni Joints section acknowledges the spots that make fine contributions to the vegan dining landscape with thoughtful selections and clear disclosures. Our Vegan Joints section is reserved for fully vegan enterprises.
Ethics
All reviews represent our honest and unabridged opinions. We do not accept cash or gifts in return for favorable reviews of restaurants, products or services. Sponsorships and partnerships will be clearly labeled as such.
