About V.I.L.F
We assume you're here because you want to find good vegan food to eat in the San Francisco Bay Area — actually good vegan food. Not to worry, we've got the team to help you.
V.I.L.F is a collaborative and critical project that aims to showcase the ubiquity of good vegan food, holding everything at a high standard. Gone are the days when we need to settle for whatever options we can.
Our philosophy is that vegan food can be, and is, competitive with non-vegan food. Good food is good food.
We mostly target food under $20 per person and try to only review places at the restaurant and not with delivery.

Ratings Guide
- Phenomenal: Amazing food, you should travel for this. We only give this out rarely.
- Good: We recommend this. Go with some friends and order some things, you'll have a good time.
- SGFI: Something Going For It. While not everything was great, there's certain items or experiences that are worth checking it out for. We'd probably go back at some point.
- DNR: Do Not Recommend. Sometimes really bad but not always. Mostly means we wouldn't go there again.
There is a similar Bad Fine Good Phenomenal classification for value. Note that value is not the same thing as price, it's how we feel about the price relative to the experience, adjusted for how absolutely unaffordable everything is in the Bay Area.
