Rad Radish is a vibrant vegan haven in Hayes Valley, serving up everything from crispy “chicken” sandwiches to refreshing poke bowls in a chic, casual setting.
"From the same team behind Wildseed comes vegetarian breakfast food (vegan, actually) every day of the week. The chilaquiles come with a spicy tomato sauce, black beans, pico de gallo, avocado, and Just egg. For lunch, there are loads of sandwiches, burgers, and even flatbreads." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"A new player in the plant-based restaurant scene — from the same team behind Wildseed — this restaurant opens at 9 a.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends. The chilaquiles are to die for, Vietnamese iced coffee goes for just $5, and the interior design is incredibly cute." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"Rad Radish is a fast-casual Mediterranean-Italian-ish vegan spot in Hayes Valley that we like for their large selection of salads, grains bowls, pasta, and sandwiches. For Restaurant Week, look to their $15 lunch menu, which includes either a kale caesar or crispy chicken sandwich, and a chocolate chip cookie." - ricky rodriguez
"Are gluten-free and vegan chicken and waffles a thing? According to this Hayes Street all-day cafe, they sure are. This is yet another Adriano Paganini and his company Back of the House (which also owns, for instance, a Mano up the street), and the business focuses on fast-casual service. Creamy Vietnamese iced coffee, light but filling avocado toast, and crispy chilaquiles are just a few of the items on the menu." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"This plant-based restaurant from the Back of the House (Wildseed, Beretta, Super Duper Burger) serves brunch on weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering a tight selection of meat-free morning options including a breakfast sandwich and a vegetable scramble, both of which feature Just Eggs. Beverage options at the stylish and casual restaurant run the gamut from probiotic sodas, coffee, and tea to wine, beer, and cocktails." - Lauren Saria
