Bar Issi of Palm Springs
UPDATED: October 3, 2025
Italian Casual Elegance in Palm Springs
Bar Issi may be known for its splashy maximalist style and coastal Italian vibe, but it’s also a gem for vegetarians looking to dine in Palm Springs. The menu gives plant-based guests more than a token option—here, vegetables shine and classic comforts come with thoughtful, elevated touches. The pizzas, golden fries, and veggie dishes are nothing short of exquisite, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors without compromise.
Vegetarian Highlights
The wood-fired pizzas are a showstopper: thin, blistered crusts topped with seasonal vegetables, melted cheese, and just the right hint of char. Their house fries come crisp and perfectly seasoned, the kind of simple indulgence that pairs beautifully with a cocktail. Add in vegetable-forward plates and sides designed with the same care as the mains, and you’ll quickly see why Bar Issi earns high marks from plant-based diners.
Why We Love It
Few restaurants in the desert balance a vibrant social atmosphere with truly satisfying vegetarian food, but Bar Issi pulls it off effortlessly. Whether you’re sharing pizzas and fries with friends or savoring a hearty veggie plate, the experience is as stylish as it is delicious.
