Hi. I’m Carrie.

Welcome to my blog. I post about plant-based restaurants and grocery items in Marin, CA.

Saigon Village

Saigon Village

Saigon Village Restaurant in San Rafael is a definite gem for lunch! In addition to a lengthy vegetarian/vegan section, they can make any dish with plant-based chicken, beef or tofu. Yes, you can have a bowl of vegan pho or a vermicelli bowl….but you can also have dozens of other dishes! There is no shortage of items to try here! While they do not have any vegan ice cream options, only dairy-based, you will leave so full that dessert is likely not going to be a priority. They have a lovely back garden (dog friendly) for the warmer days.
