Sipeos Restaurant & Bar

Delicious vegetarian food with gluten free options! The owners are always present and so kind! They have live music and trivia on a weekly basis, with a dog friendly patio! Sipeos is one of my absolute favorite spots in Walnut Creek, hands down.

Took a drive of over 1.5 hours to finally try this new concept restaurant after almost 9months of it being open! We should have come here a lot sooner! We were not sure of what to expect but had heard rave reviews from friends and patrons. Sipeos is a Mediterranean restaurant that is vegetarian with vegan and gluten free options. As you walk to the entrance, you pass through the elegant and modern outside dining patio. The large glass doors are welcoming and you are greeted by the host who searches up your reservation, if you have one, or takes you to the table. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and the service is excellent. They are always watching to make sure the water is full and if you need anything during your dining experience. We really lucked as both owners happen to be there and we were able to get the backstory about the concept. We asked for popular recommendations and so we started off with the large Mezze platter, complete with tasty flatbread squares served with green olives, veggies and 3 dips (eggplant similar to baba ganoush, a tasty red pepper, and an amazing whipped feta dip). What an incredible way to start off the evening. The cocktails we had to start with were the Modest Adonis, Salted Pineapple, Cherry Sherry, and the Citrine, which was a zero-proof cocktail. I have to say, the drinks were mixed to perfection and I enjoyed these much more than my regular go to counterparts at restaurants. The old-fashioned is a perfect replacement to those served elsewhere, with low alcohol! Still could not believe what I was drinking. Then we moved onto the gazpachos. These were three of the most unique and delicious cold soups I have ever had! The mango was sweet and spicy at the same time and the tomatillo one added a soothing relief to the zing from the mango gazpacho. On to the flatbreads! Under the Tuscan Sun was delicious. I would have never thought of having cannellini beans on a pizza, but wow, especially with the accompaniments of the roasted garlic, arugula and the vinaigrette!! The white truffle oil put the dish over the top! The other flatbread was the shawarma cauliflower. What an amazing way to have a veggie pizza. I know ethnic pizzas are a rave right now, and this ranks up near the top. Finally, we had the Impossible Kefta skewers. A perfectly seasoned creation served with flavored rice, chimichurri sauce, feta and pickled cucumbers/onions/tomatoes. Don't leave if you are stuffed. You must try the Mediterranean Cocoa Mousse and the Dubai Chocolate Ice Cream. A perfect ending to an incredible dining experience! A big thank you to the wonderful owners who were able to chat with us and tell us their story. We will definitely be back!

definitely get the mezze plate (gluten free bread shown)
