The tortelloni here is all plant-based, which means no egg . Still satisfying for diners looking for a delicious vegan pasta . Filled with almond cheese and laced with oven-dried tomatoes . Read more

Extremely delicious vegan food that omnivores will also adore. Simple classics rebooted, with great wine choices to pair. Add on private dining and a great brunch , & it's my favorite restaurant in LA.

Came for weekday brunch . The maple syrup w the chicken and waffles had a kick to it that really took it to the next level. perfect portion size AND they have bloody marys . Will be back for dinner

Extensive menu with creative vegan food and a fun ambiance. The oyster mushroom app and pear dessert were memorable. Recommend the eggplant tenderloin, it’s rich and delicious and looks like steak .

Never ate so much delicious, vegan food in my life! I was the only official vegan at the table but no one in our party of 6 missed the meat or fish . Some even thought the crab cakes were real crab !

LAist

The vegan fried chicken was light and crunchy on the outside; and from a carnivore's perspective, the "chicken " tasted pretty close to the real thing, and the waffles were pleasantly crispy . Read more

The romanesco is out of this world! Cannot believe it wasn’t cheese . Pictured is the meatball pizza and the roasted ricotta , also two amazing dishes

Risotto of the day and polenta special both were top notch. Save room for dessert . Try chocolate cheesecake or pumpkin spice verrine. You can't miss. It's all so good and I'm not a vegan .

Nikki Beauchamp

Fabulous meal. We were not aware we were going to a vegan/vegetarian restaurant but it was superb ! Loved everything we had- I actually wished the Brussels sprouts had no end (my mom would be happy)

Wonderfully romantic and downright hip , Crossroads is the L.A. hotspot. Crafted cocktails , the Kale Salad and the Bolognese Lasagna are musts! Chef Tal and staff , thank you!!

Joseph Dileo

Excellent vegan food !! Great atmosphere, great service, but most of all, absolutely outstanding food. Vegans can bring dedicated carnivores here to experience very good to everybody cuisine.

Klara Licht

Awesome food - from the oysters to crabcakes , lasagne , pickles to icecream cobbler everything was delicious. And so were the cocktails .

James Jacquet

Crossroads is the hippest and nicest vegan restaurant on the planet. Definitely try the "meaty" lasagna and artichoke oysters to see what I am talking about

Johnnie Walker

Pretty much everything-lasagna, impossibly cigars , crab cakes ... I especially love the breakfast . The Chicken & Waffles and the pancakes make you happy to #be alive!

Basak A

Came w/ my vegan sis (I'm not). Both loved it. Crab cakes & flatbreads were amazing. Oysters were also great. Not as enamored by the cheese plate or panna cotta , but would highly recommend regardless.

Lauren Buchman

I couldn't disagree with Gianni L's review more. The food was fabulous - gorgeous presentation, diverse and wonderful flavor combinations, nuanced spices. Talented, warm staff . We'll be back, often.

I'm not vegan , but the food was AMAZING. Lots of gluten free options . Crab Cakes , cheese plate , flat bread & Panna Cotta are musts. Cocktails were delicious.

Get the artichoke oysters - an artichoke leaf serves as “oyster shell,” with artichoke puree, crispy oyster mushroom , yellow tomato Béarnaise and kelp caviar .

Marleine Pacilio

I don't like regular lasagna . Too heavy. But this lasagna is light and meaty ... yet vegan . Forget the meat or no meat debate, it's just yummy food that you feel good about eating. Great service too.

Might be the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles. Crab cakes , oysters and milanese are excellent. So is the service.

Rebecca Allen

One of the best vegan restaurants in the world and easily the best in LA. A must do destination when in the city for sure.

Jay Simmons

Loved the food, service and atmosphere. I sat arms length away from Alicia Silverstone. She kept looking me with that 'as if' expression but was 'clueless' that it was me because I just got a haircut

AMW

A secretly great spot for a quick + healthy lunch . Sandwiches are vegan and come with homemade pickles or chips .

RC

This place proves that most people are happy to pay a bit more for nice atmosphere and high quality food. A great place to impress your date.

Rodrigo Cantalejo

The food was good, but nothing out of this world. The check for sure was out of this world. Super tiny portions. Around 50-60pp without drinks.

Lauren K

Must try the artichoke oysters & crab cakes - vegan done amazingly right!! Beyond fantastic!!!!!! Watch out for the paparazzi out front though...

Los Angeles

Chef Tal Ronnen doles out Mediterranean-style dishes and all the dishes that incorporate some sort of bread always has a gluten-free counterpart.

Linda Gomes

Chicken & waffles was amazing! The impossible burger with chees ????

Jesse Atkinson

Everything we had was fantastic. Cheese plate wasn't worth it though. The Bloody Mary cart during brunch is A+.

Best wine value in the city . Order a bottle of the Gia Nebbiolo that they have by the glass. It is 1 liter!

Caroline On Crack

If you're a baller order the $30 Glimmer Twins w/ Metl Madre Cuishe, Espadin Mezcal , VEP Green Chartreuse
