Limited

Super limited food options. Ok if you’re with others who aren’t vegan and you’re tagging along I guess.

Really great vegan rueben

I met some non vegan friends here because i wanted to try their vegan rueben that uses Mrs. Goldfarbs vegan deli meat. It was amazing! The menu clearly states to sub avocado for cheese etc. which I did. Highly recommend. The waiter was super accomodating and seemed to be very vegan friendly. Not much else I could see on the menu, but what else do you need at a deli? They bring a dish of dill pickles when you sit down too- so good. It's open 24 hours so that's handy too. For some reason i could not find it on theier online menu but their in restaurant menu has a nice little section for it. Highly recommend.

Pros: Vegan Rueben, Pickles, Nice staff and open 24 hours a day

Cons: Not much else vegan to get I don't think

Limited vegan options

Vegan Reuben is the one decent option in a very non vegan restaurant
Canters is an institution, that’s open late and serves drinks.
I’d be happy if they’d expand their vegan options more

Meh reuben

Not a good Reuben. Too little slaw/fake meat is too dry.

A Los Angeles Landmark.

Canter’s, a Los Angeles landmark, has long been off limits to vegans due to its meat heavy menu. Recently, they introduced a Veggie Ruben (corned beef/pastrami on rye).

* note, you must omit the cheese and Russian dressing to make it vegan.

The sandwich is amazing, hopefully they will continue to bring more vegan items to the menu.

Pros: Vegan Ruben sandwich.
