Veggie Lunch in the FiDi
See All Lists
1. The Sentinel
Mmmmmmmmmmmm. The Sentinel is my lunch hero, no pun intended. (Well, maybe a little bit.)
Here are all the things I love about it:
* Delicious, creative, wonderful sandwiches with fresh quality ingredients
* Standard menu means you can have…More »
2. John's Snack and Deli
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 434-4634
Speaking of obsessions, I must now have the veggie bi bim bap at least weekly. I don't care if it's a small hike from work or if I must remember to bring cash only. It's a small price to pay for that fresh bowl of heaven.
John and Co. are some of…More »
3. Roy's Restaurant
Not much wrong with a free lunch at Roy's... The secret veggie menu had a nice bunch of options, and the service was top-notch. They even check your outfit, and if you're wearing dark colors, you get black napkins instead of white. Nice!
4. Cafe Dolci
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 392-9222
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Union Square
As a vegetarian with nut allergies, there are some things you just always miss out on. I'll spare you the list, but one of them is Vietnamese sandwiches. I've been hearing coworkers and friends rave about these things for years, but have never had…More »
5. Peet's Coffee & Tea
I have a new job (same company), and the biggest worry about the commute to my new building was where the closest Peet's was. Imagine my delight when I came up from MUNI at my new stop and there she was! A Peet's stand right there. Oh, glory be.

6. Muracci's Japanese Curry & Grill
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 773-1101
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
The good:
* I had no idea what a Japanese curry was, but now I must have it all the time.
* Veggie options that are delicious! Brown rice available!
* You can pick how spicy you like it.
* Right by my work.
The not-so-good:
* Wait times are…More »
7. Los Socios - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 989-5763
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I think of Los Socios as "creative Mexican food." They offer a lighter, yummy take on the usual items.
Imagine your typical taco salad, laden with sour cream and loaded down with greasy meat. At Los Socios, you'll get crisp greens with a light…More »
8. Baladie Gourmet Cafe
Best falafels in the heart of the FiDi. I'm also a big fan of the combo salad plate and those yummy lentils. Go early if you want one of the few seats in or outside, or take it to go. Now open til 7pm on weeknights!
9. Perilla
Really good garlic noodles, big portions. Go early to beat the rush. Did I mention garlic noodles? Yum.
10. Boxed Foods Company
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 981-9376
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Union Square
Now THIS is how you do a salad... Combine a number of interesting yet complimentary very-fresh ingredients, package them up nicely, and deliver them with a friendly attitude. Yes!
The line moved verrrry slowly and by 1pm they were out of a few…More »
11. Harvest & Rowe
I am simply inept at looking at a list of salad ingredients and figuring out how to tell the counter person to assemble them to my liking. If I wanted a salad bar, I'd go to one, and nobody would need to know about my salad quirks.
What I want is…More »
12. Scala's Bistro
Primo "lady who lunches" spot... Great loungey atmosphere, warm and cozy, tip top service. Creative comfort food, prepared and presented delightfully. Yum.
13. Pasta Bene - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 989-2222
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This is a nice place to sit down and have a calm lunch in the FiDi. (WHY did they change it to "Barbary Coast" right after I got moved to SOMA? Why??) Anyway, back to Pasta Bene...
It's all very civilized. Yes, you have to order at the counter,…More »
14. Mixt Greens
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 543-2505
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: SOMA
I like this location better than the downtown one, as it's less manic.
However, I'm still salad-impaired. I can't seem to figure out how to order a salad bar salad assembled by someone else. What if I just want a few chick peas and a smidgen of a…More »
15. Tara
Friendly service, and very accommodating for groups if you call in advance. The green veggie curry was delicious! Yum!!
16. City View Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 398-2838
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhood: Financial District
For large-group dim summing, I like City View much better than Yank Sing. The service was less manic, there were about the same amount of vegetarian options (some, not many), the food was just as tasty, and the bill was noteably smaller. Yum Dim…More »
17. Bonbon Patisserie - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 956-5005
I got the hot veggie sandwich, and it was crazy good. Quality bread, a blend of melty cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli, and some other stuff. Mmmmmmmmmm. And it came with a tasty little salad!
I have to ding them a star because I was hungry a…More »
18. Mondo Caffe
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 882-1682
Categories:
Italian,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: SOMA
What a great lunch I had here! You order at the counter, and they bring you a delicious sandwich on homemade foccacia and a little side salad on a real plate with real silverware and it's all extremely civilized and delicious. Yum!!
19. Mercedes Hair of The Dog Cantina
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 391-8717
Go early to make sure you get a table. Nice people work here, and they will bring you piles of good food and a cold margarita. What else do you need?
20. Zebulon - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 975-5705
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Now with mac and cheese! (Last week, at least.)
It was predictable, which is a good thing for mac and cheese. The only other acceptable way to make it is in a creative, out-of-this-world kinda way. At least Zebulon didn't disappoint.... which is…More »

21. Chili-Up
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 693-0467
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Their regular veggie chili is one of my lunchtime standby's. (Although calling it "hoofless" is a little unappetizing -- are there hoofs (hooves?) in the other varieties? Ick!) I also really like the cornbread that comes with.
I was eager to try…More »
22. Soup Freaks
I think if there was more good soup in the world, it would be a friendlier place. I applaud Soup Freaks for doing their part to bring us all a little more joy.
I liked the super-fresh ORGANIC ingredients, the friendly hip service, and the clean decor…More »
23. Neeto's Cafe

Categories:
Sandwiches,

Neighbourhood: SOMA
There can be a bit of a wait to get your order taken and find an available table, but it's a really cute little lunch spot. The tomato bisque soup was fantastic -- I would've licked the bowl if I weren't such a lady. (snicker) The cornbread looked…More »
24. Leila Mediterranean Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 217-0099
Category:
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I got the veggie combo, and it was enough food for 2 meals. Each item was fresh and had its own pleasant unique flavor. The hummus was very creamy and rich. Later, my stomach hurt. Dunno whether it was food or my stressful life that caused it,…More »
25. 750 Restaurant & Bar

(415) 765-7878
Categories:
American (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I just sat at the bar and had a drink or few, so I can't speak to the food. The decor is cool -- I especially like the cool flames when you arrive. The drinks are spendy, as you'd expect. I have to say the sidecar I ordered was one of the weirdest…More »
26. Roots Restaurant

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Union Square
I went here for a festive work lunch. The atmosphere is lovely -- light, airy, and elegant. Our server was friendly yet casual.
The menu was well-written, as everything looked delicious! There was a nice selection of creative salads, sandwiches,…More »
27. Bread And Cocoa
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 956-7200
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I looked away, and when I looked back, Briazz had become Bread and Cocoa. It looks really cute from the outside, but inside still feels like Briazz, only flipped around.
They have the same style of food offerings -- pre-packaged sandwiches and…More »

San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 398-4899
Category:
Cuban
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This is a cute spot to have lunch. It has a fun atmosphere, and the owner waits tables herself and is super friendly.
The yucca was tender and the plantains were great. Sadly, the rice and beans were dry and overall, the food was not as flavorful as…More »
29. Bangkok Best
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 362-2216
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I wouldn't say it's the best Thai food I've had, but it's better than the Banana Leaf, which I simply cannot like, despite multiple attempts. Service is quick and matter-of-fact, and they have a good variety of veggie options. You could do worse.
30. Golden Star Vietnamese Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 398-1215
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
I think this is one of those places that ROCKS if you eat meat. They do have 4 veggie options, and the one I had was "nice," but I didn't have the epiphany all my coworkers did. Sigh.
31. Thirsty Bear Brewing Company
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 974-0905
Categories:
Breweries,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Haven't I reviewed this yet? Sheesh.
I think I've been to too many corporate parties here where they don't order enough veggie apps... The beer's good, and it's nice to have the upstairs to yourself with the pool table and your own bathrooms.
Lunch…More »
32. B & M Mei Sing Restaurant
I can never remember the name of this place and always call it "the poker chip place" when making plans with my friend. You can get steam table items or get something made-to-order. This is where the poker chip comes in. Take it to a free table…More »
33. Chipotle Mexican Grill
This would be a 3.5 star review if that were possible. First off, I'd never been to a Chipotle before. My Yelp pal's new job is right nearby and she had a craving, so off we went.
I wasn't crazy about the IKEA-like decor or the too-loud oldies…More »
34. The Toaster Oven
Atmosphere: 4 stars
Sandwich: 3 stars
This is a cute little retro-feeling sandwich joint with only 2 vegetarian options on the menu. I was really hoping the veggie sandwich would step up and be as special as the decor, but it didn't taste much…More »
35. Chaat Cafe Express
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 391-2082
I ordered the veggie plate, and it was a lot of food. Too bad it wasn't a lot of really good food. It was OK, but not memorable. The veggie curry was somewhat spicy and more than somewhat greasy. The naan was big. The dal had an interesting…More »
36. Murphy's Deli
This place features a cafeteria-style decor and a limited salad bar. They have a few veggie sandwich/wrap options at good prices. It's nothing special, but it'll do if you're hungry and in the area.
I was amused that I had to tell the order taker…More »
37. Pizzelle - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 362-2228
Sometimes you know better, but you go for it anyway. On the rare occasion, you will find glory, but usually you wonder why you bothered.
This place features pizza and pasta. The sign for salads was partially obscured by the drink case, and when I…More »
38. Banana House
There is nothing better than a good Thai restaurant close to work or home. Sadly, I'm still looking for one.
You'd think that if the Banana House folks were veg-savvy enough to offer veggie versions of many dishes, and ask if egg was OK in my Pad…More »

Categories:

Credit cards now accepted, with a minimum order. The menu is expanding (although the new items are all meat-based), and the staff is still very friendly and gets orders up very quickly. I'm a regular.

Pick your own lunch - $6.99/pound for everything. Lots of variety and everything looked fresh. The flavors of the sauces were good, but I'd prefer them a little less saucy. I wonder exactly how much oil/butter I consumed there...
