LA Vegan Work Drinks

As a vegan assistant in Hollywood, sometimes it can be scary setting up drinks (which, let's face it, always involve food) and wondering if there's going to be anything for you to eat! This blog is dedicated to all the cool vegan-friendly (or at least vegan-safe) places to go for work drinks in Los Angeles.

West Hollywood: Gracias Madre

WHAT: GRACIAS MADRE (West Hollywood)

THE GIST:
One-hundred per cent vegan Mexican food. Tequila-based cocktails. In the dinner department, although El Plato looks tempting with its illusion of being a little bit of everything, it's never as satisfying as Sopas Con Pina or Flautus de Camote. Also, definitely get Coliflor Frito as a starter if you've never had it!

Gracias Madre is one of the classier vegan restaurants in the city, frequented by folks in the biz, vegan or otherwise, and the occasional celebrity.

TIP:
Make sure to note when making a reservation or coming in that you do not want to sit next to the cash register. There's one in the back with a small two-person table beside it and the waitstaff traffic by that table is the WORST THING EVER.

GOOD FOR:
  • Brunch
  • Lunch
  • Dinner
  • Drinks
    • Beer
    • Wine
    • Cocktails
  • Creating an exception to your friends' negative bias toward veganism
