The Vegetarian House is an organic vegan restaurant located in downtown San Jose; it was inspired by The Supreme Master Ching Hai, a world renowned spiritual teacher and humanitarian. The restaurant began operation in 1994 with a vision of a world where all beings, humans and animals could live together in peace, love and harmony.
Our fine dining restaurant is truly unique as we offer a wide range of vegan dishes from all over the world, including: China, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Middle East, Europe and the Americas. We are sure your taste buds will be dancing with delight! We also have a huge selection of Gluten free dishes.
Feel free to play our baby grand piano or take a seat at the bar and enjoy a freshly squeezed organic fruit or vegetable juice; ÔÇÿnon alcoholicÔÇÖ beer. There are also numerous creative lamps and paintings by the Supreme Master Ching Hai placed throughout the restaurant for you to enjoy.
At the Vegetarian House, we are concerned for your health, so we serve fresh organic produce cooked and seasoned with non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) ingredients. Genetically modified foods are linked to allergic reactions and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals. They are banned by food manufacturers in Europe and elsewhere, yet GMOs are present in the vast majority of locally available processed foods.
Some of our products including our sauces and noodles are made in house from scratch, using organic ingredients that are free of preservatives. We are also concerned for the happiness and wellbeing of our animal friends, so we only serve animal free meals (vegan).
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we use freshly grown organic ingredients from local sources whenever possible. The restaurant also uses solar energy generated from solar panels and uses energy efficient lighting and appliances.
The Vegetarian House is committed to working towards a sustainable planet. In an effort to reduce our environmental impact, all waste is recycled or composted whenever possible. Our ÔÇÿTOGOÔÇÖ packaging is made of environmentally friendly materials which are either biodegradable or compostable.
As more and more people around the world are looking for an alternative way of living, the Vegetarian House hopes to offer a bridge to a noble plant based diet. The single most effective thing we as an individual can do to save the planet is eat an organic vegan diet. It can stop 80% of global warming, end world hunger, drastically reduce pollution, end deforestation, conserve water & energy and make ailments such as cancer and heart disease a rarity rather than a common occurrence.
ItÔÇÖs healthier; itÔÇÖs compassionate; itÔÇÖs peaceful and itÔÇÖs the only way to a sustainable planet. Feel free to browse our information stand and take a flyer for yourself , family and friends.
