Last Saturday, the city of Los Angeles officially embraced "Meatless Mondays," an initiative designed to encourage residents to go vegetarian one day each week. It is the largest city in the country yet to vote the measure through.
But just because the city unanimously adopted the resolution doesn't mean Californians will be at a loss for dining options. In its 2013 LA and Southern California Restaurant Survey, Zagat listed the top 10 vegetarian restaurants in the city.
All of these eateries are not only highly-rated, but some even have a few menu items for the carnivores, too.
