Alvarado Street Brewery & Bistro - Carmel-By-The-Sea
Vanda Borba My husband ordered the vegetarian Smoked Mushroom & Artichoke Pizza—delicious flavor, but he thought it was a bit too spicy, which overpowered the other tastes. Still, a solid 4/5. I went for the Crispy Cauliflower, one of the few vegan options on the menu. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I loved every bite—pure perfection in cauliflower form. It’d be great if the menu had more creative vegan dishes like this one. Honestly, I’d come back just for the cauliflower!
The ambiance is gorgeous, by the way—such a lovely place.
You can really tell vegan options aren’t a priority here. When I arrived, I asked the host about vegan choices, and she seemed confused—like she could barely remember any. It was so off-putting I almost walked out. For a place with such great ambiance, it’s disappointing how little thought goes into catering to plant-based.
