The Resy Guide to Vegetable-Forward Takeout in the Bay Area

You know that Chez Panisse sparked the modern farm-to-table movement. Now on Sundays, you can get produce they source for their restaurant for your literal table — that’s pretty special. They have a seasonal farm box curated by their chefs, and you can also pick up prepared vegetable dishes like roasted root vegetables with cumin and garlicky broccoli rabe. Pre-order here.

Kale! Brussels sprouts! Fennel! All these fresh vegetables and more can be had at Verjus, who does a farmers’ market on Fridays and Saturdays featuring same-day harvested produce from Fresh Run Farm in Bolinas. See here for more info.

Hina Yakitori’s pandemic pivot to bento boxes, Torima, specializes in chicken and Wagyu, but don’t sleep on the vegetarian yakitori bento, which features five vegetable skewers over white mushroom and fermented shiitake soboro. Order here.

Did you really expect us to not put a restaurant named after lettuce on this list? But there are also other standouts on the menu, such as mushrooms and bean stew; brown rice bibimbap; and macro bowls featuring every color of the rainbow in the form of vegetables with spiced tahini dressing. Order takeout or delivery here.

The Burmese know how to do thokes (salads) right. Whether it’s the funky, crunchy tea leaf salad, or the colorful and crunchy rainbow salads, or the vegan ginger salad, you’re in for a delicious treat. Order takeout or delivery here

If you shop Boulettes’ literal larder, you’ll find pretty much everything to help you eat your vegetables: soups of squash simmered tomato and escarole; fresh-pressed carrot-pineapple-ginger juices; chickpea hummus; and more. Pro Tip: Head on a Saturday and catch the farmers’ market outside to pick out other perfect produce. Order here.

Daily changing lunch thalis at Viks in Berkeley will give you all the spiced vegetables you need, including gobi aloo (cauliflower and potatoes), baingan korma (eggplant with tomato gravy), sai bhaiji (spinach and mashed eggplant), and more.

Del Popolo puts every single ounce of care and attention into their vegetable sides as they do to their excellent wood-fired pies. Things like roasted delicata squash with yogurt and persimmon mostarda, or wood-fired carrots with broccoli rabe and bagna cauda almost make you forget about pizza. Order takeout or delivery here.

The vegetable dishes at Angler were some of its main attractions — the rad red radicchio salad! —and you can get a taste of them by ordering takeout from Saison Smokehouse. Barbecued jackfruit, anyone? Order here.

Bonus: If you’re in the mood for a splurge, big sister Saison is offering up a multi-course takeout menu for two.

Don’t get us wrong; we’re not saying don’t eat pizza. Eat pizza, but also maybe get a salad too! Preferably one featuring Cypress Grove goat cheese and toasted pistachios. Maybe some roasted carrots with parsley salsa verde or marinated brussels sprouts with pomegranate and pecorino. Order for takeout or delivery here.

When it comes to self-care, grilled meats and herbs and rice noodles sounds pretty good to us. The legendary Tu Lan has tofu, too. Whether you opt for a roll or a bowl, this is your SoMa spot for Vietnamese fare. Order takeout or delivery here.
