Wildseed is a plant-based restaurant that knows what it's doing. We ordered the Fancy Yellow Juice (5/5), pineapple, orange, turmeric, ginger, and lemon, and it was refreshing and genuinely interesting, not just a wellness shot. The food followed suit. Beet Poke (4.5/5) was a standout, with ginger sesame vinaigrette, taro chips, and seaweed salad making it feel truly intentional. Hummus Basar (4.5/5) was bold and satisfying, and the Lemon Poppyseed Shortcake (4.5/5) closed things out beautifully. Skip the Potato Pizza (3/5), which felt flat compared to everything else on the table. Service was attentive without hovering, and the outdoor setting is gorgeous. Wildseed knows how to feed a crowd without dumbing anything down. We'll be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ranks in my top 10 All time favorite vegan restaurants in the country. Honestly I find the Palo Alto location more satisfying, can't tell the right reason... maybe it's a combination of experience with staff, location, and the cozy ambiance. I am a fan of the brunch options and what they accomplished with the vegan food there. I had a great experience for a recent dinner on March 13th, especially because of the kind gentleman serving us patiently with a smile. I wish I remembered his name. We loved the food and huge likes for the desserts , so good!! I loved the vegan feta cheese.. especially... great texture! The salad dressing, the falafel, the chocolate cake and GF cookie, were an amazing!!

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER
Melissa L.

So originally the plan with my girl friend was to dine at Teleféric Barcelona a couple steps away from Wildseed but their waitlist was 2.5 hours in a Thursday night! We walked into Wildseed and were greeted with a hello and "do you have reservations?" to which we felt was going to be a repeat of Teleféric but when we said that we didn't they offered us outside or the high table by the entry. We were delighted we could eat inside since it was a chilly weeknight in January 2026 and didn't mind that it was a vegetarian menu. FOOD We had the cauliflower appetizer and the beets tostadas appetizer, both of which were absolutely delicious! We didn't even think about missing meat products which I expected as a person with an omnivore diet. My friend had the orecchiette pasta and I had the tofu tikki masala. We both throughly enjoyed our dishes and even got full before we could finish! I was shocked given it was meatless. The portions aren't small but neither too big. Just right like Miss Goldilocks, the criminal would say. AMBIANCE The place is bright airy and open with a view of the happenings in the kitchen. Always a delight to be able to see your food being prepared because it shows transparency and maintains a standard of cleanliness. SERVICE Our waitress was incredibly friendly and even confirmed that our two appetizer choices were exactly what she recommends to her guests! We definitely "beet" her to the punchline for those tostadas and cauliflower appetizer choices! The women's restroom was out of order that night and the waitress got another male staff member to check that the bathroom was empty before allowing my female friend to use it. She even stayed by the door and chatted with me while my friend was in the restroom to make sure she didn't get a surprise visit from a male guest. BOTTOM LINE TLDR; great tasting food that actually gets you full and feels healthy with friendly staff!

Hawaiian pizza
Hanna L.

Came in for a cleaner light dinner after the cooking class. The menus are all vegan with a variety of drink options including draft Konbucha on tap and mocktails. The bartender was attentive and kind, and the Hawaiian pizza came in quickly after we ordered it. I liked the thin crispy dough, and the vegan cheese tasted good. Good for our purpose (clean lighter meal) but could be too light for other people. I liked my mango yuzu kombucha that came in a beer glass - felt a little boozy for some reasons but I might be just tired - and hope it doesn't have ABV in it from fermentation cause I'm in my last trimester. Will return for a quick cleaner meal option

The interior of this restaurant was so pretty! I like how they decorate with plants and it looked clean. Although the food doesn't look too beautiful, it tasted amazing and so flavorful. It was fresh, piping hot, and filling. Our server was nice in helping us order. We came at lunch time on Sunday so there was a 20 minute wait but they put your number down and will text you once your table is ready so we walked around the plaza to kill time.

Excellent experience at Wildseed! The food was absolutely delicious and I love that everything is 100% plant based. The ambience was really nice and relaxing, and Ali (server) was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Definitely coming back!

MUSHROOM ZEPPOLE
Michele T.

Showed up at around 6:30pm on Wednesday without a reservation and it was pretty busy. We were able to snag one of the high top tables located near the bar. We decided to order the following to share: 1) Wild Mushroom Zeppole - yum! I love mushrooms so this was a good one. Quite tasty. 2) Fries - arrived hot and crispy and served with a chipotle aioli, herb aioli, and ketchup. Can't go wrong with hot and crispy fries. 3) Winter pizza - enjoyed the thin crust and all of the toppings. It was light and full of flavor. We enjoyed all of the dishes. I'd return to try other menu items.

Kavita R.

Another phenomenal experience at Wildseed! This place is so special. This time, it was just my girls and I. We tried many dishes, and the only two I didn't fully connect with were the cauliflower dish and the beet tacos. That isn't to say that they weren't excellent--just not my personal favorites. We had tastes of at least 6 other things, and they were all terrific!!!! An easy five stars for innovative and delicious food plus superstar service. Thank you, Wildseed!!

Pom Voyage Spritz cocktail
Anisha Y.

The food is incredible--rich, creamy, and you'd never guess it's vegan. Even my meat-loving partner, who's usually skeptical of vegan dishes, said, "This is rewriting the narrative of vegan food for me." They offer a rotating seasonal menu, fantastic cocktails, and consistently delicious dishes. The service is excellent, and the restaurant itself is beautiful, filled with plants and a clean, modern aesthetic.

The MASALA BOWL , smaller portion size than I would like.
Shivali S.

This was my second time at Wildseed Palo Alto, the first time was for lunch on their patio in the summer, which was especially nice, I prefer the lunch menu actually. Service has been consistently good here and the ambience is fabulous and upscale which is perfect for an elevated meal out or special occasions with a big group. This is not the best vegan food I've had, but with few and far between upscale-all-vegan-restaurants nowadays, it's a nice place for a special event.

Lovely ambience. great food .. amazing service and good options for vegan Portion sze is amazing too .. freindly staff Will go again and again

Their lavender mocktail
Isabel L.

The many times I've gone to Wildseed they never disappoint. I'm so glad there's a restaurant that's not only vegan but also caters to gluten free individuals. The workers are very mindful about anyone's dietary restrictions explaining that there can be cross contamination in the kitchen which is valid. I also feel this restaurant is great for anyone who is seed oil free, definitely check in with your waiter if you are so they can gear you towards the right food. The restaurant is the same shopping center at the Trader Joe's in Palo Alto, parking lot can get a bit busy but it's ultimately not hard to find a parking. I love that they have a mocktail menu. I recently had their lavender mocktail, it was so cute and very refreshing! Definitely try their Mezze platter, my understanding is that they make their own cashew cheese in house, so good!

Curried Chickpea Tartine
Ashwini A.

SERVICE - located in the town and country shopping center in Palo Alto - parking can be hard to find especially during busier hours - plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - indoor decor is plant themed which makes it feel natural and welcoming - staff are friendly and check in frequently on table - food served relatively quickly - ambiance good for a semi casual meal MENU - cafe menu of small plates, sandwiches, pizzas, and salads - all vegan/vegetarian - average price ($17 for entree) FOOD - curried chickpea tartine (8/10): toasted sourdough topped with chickpeas mixed in turmeric mayonnaise with celery, onion, and raisins and served with chips. This is such a great summer lunch. The tartine is light in flavor yet filling with the hearty chickpeas and crunchy bread. I love the tang of the sourdough paired with the richness of the turmeric mayo. With such a refreshing toast I would have preferred a side salad or roasted potatoes rather than chips. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The menu is great for any time of day and the ambiance is welcoming.

French toast, beautifully presented, with a decaf Americano. March 2026.

Does this restaurant offer outdoor seating?

I did not see this on the menu but I bet you can put a special order in

Does the neatball have gluten?

Hi Lisa, Our neatballs themselves do not contain gluten. However, they are fried in the same oil as other things that do contain gluten so there may be cross-contamination.

What does the abbreviation CG mean next to menu items?

"cg" indicates that the dish contains gluten. Please note that some dishes may not contain gluten, but may possibly be exposed to cross contamination so for very sensitive allergies, we would suggest consulting a team member. Thank you! Hope this… Read more

As a speakeasy enthusiast myself I definitely agree to the fact that it is "hidden" but also it does kinda give corporate vibes a little bit - maybe we can say they "gentrified" the speakeasy experience which is honestly so funny for Palo Alto. But anyways I don't think a classification should stop you from visiting it. The food is actually surprisingly really good. We came with a pescatarian and honestly while the offerings for snacks were a bit slim, every option was really good. I feel like this was the first time where I understood the price even the the quantity is no where close to be desired. One shrimp is like $6 and I was like whoah. Service is definitely more laid back and it's overall just like a more chill atmosphere. I'm fortunate to work nearby so I'll definitely visit this place a few times after work to blow off some steam... And the drinks! Yes they are good! They are also quite strong!

We tried to get here before the end of happy hour which is kinda early, at 5:30pm. Drinks are interesting and different, everything on the menu from the bites to drinks have a little Japanese fusion or influence going on. We pretty much tried every small plate on the menu. Most of it was delicious, a couple were just meh (katsu was not anything special, not was the duck meatball). Other than that, and over all, would highly recommend this spot in general. Btw the bar is from the same proprietor as the restaurant Protégé (across the street). Fun little bar for some music and drinks, they even have a disco ball.

I arrived a couple minutes early for my 7:15 pm outdoor reservation on a Saturday and was immediately sat by the kind hostess even though it seemed pretty busy.

We ordered the Umami Fries to start, followed by two Miso Linguinis. Everything was absolutely amazing! I have not stopped thinking about that pasta.

This was my third visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience…read more We made a reservation, arrived on time, and were seated. At that point, there were only two other small parties in the restaurant. We were initially seated directly next to a group that was clearly enjoying themselves and being somewhat lively. Since most of the restaurant was empty, we politely asked if we could sit elsewhere. We were moved to another small table, and then asked if we could have one of the empty booths instead. The server said he would check with the manager, but the manager declined, even though approximately 90% of the restaurant was empty. We then placed our order. My wife ordered the salmon, and I ordered the mussels, along with the beet and strawberry salad. When the salad arrived, my wife noticed there were no beets in it. We pointed this out to the server, who said he would speak with the manager. The manager eventually brought out a corrected salad. Shortly afterward, however, the server informed me that they were out of mussels. This was especially frustrating because the mussels were the main reason we chose this restaurant--we had enjoyed them on a previous visit and specifically came back for them. To make matters worse, about ten minutes later, two families with children were seated directly next to us, despite the restaurant still being largely empty. Given the abundance of available seating, it felt unnecessary and made the dining experience less enjoyable. Overall, the combination of the seating situation, ordering issues, and lack of accommodation left us disappointed with what had previously been a restaurant we enjoyed visiting.

Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.

We ordered chickpea panisse, French onion soup, goat cheese mousse, and the apple salad. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the chickpea panisse. It looked like fried tofu, but it was so delicately soft in the center. The aioli that came with it was great too. My second favorite was the goat cheese mousse. It was beautifully presented and a good balance of flavors. For main dishes, we got a variety of things. We got salmon, hanger steak, flat iron steak, and poulet roti. Everything was delicious. I think the flat iron steak was preferred over the hanger, but both were good. I thought the chicken was delicious. It seemed braised with a lot of flavor. It was a generous portion with a large salad. It was very well done. We also got a couple of sides of macaroni and cheese. Those didn't disappoint. They came in hot iron skillets and were hearty and delicious. For dessert we got the mousse au chocolat. The mousse with ice cream was a great combination. The dessert was well balanced. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The staff was great, the food was delicious, and the vibe was fun.
