]]> If you’re a vegan sushi lover, you might think that Japan is not the ideal destination for you, but don’t let that misconception get in the way of your travel plans. The word “sushi” doesn’t actually have anything to do with fish. Instead, it translates to something like “sour” in Japanese, in reference to the vinegar used in preparing sushi rice. While it’s true that sushi is often associated with raw fish, Japan is home to some amazing sushi restaurants with vegan menus just as extensive as their fishy counterparts. Here are a few of our favorites:

Gonpachi

Gonpachi is a popular Japanese restaurant located on the 14th floor of the E-Space Tower in Shibuya, Tokyo. Vegans and vegetarians alike are sure to enjoy its dedicated plant-based menu, which contains options for sushi, tempura, noodles, and more.

Sushi Sansui

40 minutes north of Tokyo, in the city of Saitama, you’ll find Sushi Sansui, a small sushi restaurant run by traditional sushi chefs. Sansui offers a wide range of vegan and vegetarian options made with ingredients like okra, broccoli, and mushrooms. 

Katsumidori Seibu

For a traditional conveyor belt sushi experience, be sure to check out Katsumidori Seibu in the Udagawachō district of Shibuya, Tokyo. Non-vegan guests are free to take fish, while plant-based travelers are free to choose from plates made with cucumber, avocado, and even eggplant.

]]> Irish food isn’t exactly known for being the most vegan-friendly in Europe. Some of the country’s most popular dishes include meat stews, shepherd’s pie, and seafood chowders, many of which also contain copious amounts of butter and cream. While it’s true that many traditional Irish dishes are heavy on animal products, that hasn’t stopped the Irish capital from embracing the plant-based trend in recent years. Dublin has become a hub of vegan cuisine ranging from veg-friendly takes on Irish classics to innovative new dishes inspired by other global cuisines. Read on for some of our favorite vegan Dublin eateries.

Cornucopia

Cornucopia was plant-based before it was cool, having opened its doors as Dublin’s first vegan market and cafe in 1986. Today, the restaurant remains a 100% family-run business offering a simple, nourishing menu full of whole food plant-based dishes. We love their tofu scramble on toast with a vegan caesar salad on the side. 

It’s a Trap

For coffee, pastries, and light bites, be sure to check out It’s a Trap, a tiny coffee shop and grocery store offering a wide variety of vegan goods from around the world. Their vegan Reuben and Korean BBQ wraps are our favorites for lunch, and a shot of espresso alongside one of their classic cinnamon buns makes for a perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

The Saucy Cow

Don’t let the name fool you—no cows were harmed in the making of any of The Saucy Cow’s food. This restaurant in the city’s Temple Bar neighborhood offers plant-based versions of fast food favorites. Keep it simple with a mushroom burger, or spice things up and try their vegan pulled pork tacos.

So why not travel to one of the cities in the world that are known to be particularly vegan-friendly? Here are the top vegan cities to check out.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

With a reputation for being a haven for eco-travelers and digital nomads, Chiang Mai also happens to be one of the best places in the world to be a vegan. Not only does it have a lot of vegan restaurants, but it also hosts an annual Vegetarian Festival that offers a large variety of vegan foods.

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Another popular destination for digital nomads, Ubud is another incredibly vegan-friendly city. Located in the heart of the tropics, there are plenty of yummy tropical fruits available, as well as a number of restaurants that are very welcoming to vegans. Just try not to have a smoothie bowl every morning.

Tel Aviv, Israel

With one of the highest percentages of vegans of any country in the world, Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv, is a fantastic city to be a vegan in. With hundreds of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and a naturally vegan-friendly local cuisine, you won’t have any shortage of food options. Plus, there’s a convenient Vegan-Friendly sticker on a large percentage of the restaurants around town.

]]> Veganism has been becoming increasingly common around the world for years, and while we love seeing countries with traditionally meat-heavy cuisines rise in the global ranks in terms of plant-based dining options, we also have to give some credit to the places that were vegan-friendly before it was popular.

Thailand, with its abundance of fresh fruit stands and traditional veggie-centric dishes, is one such place, and it’s now home to plenty of completely plant-based cafes and restaurants as well. Here are some of the best ones we’ve found:

Bonita Cafe & Social Club, Bangkok

This family-owned cafe in Bangkok has been open for 10 years and in that time has become a staple for vegan locals and tourists alike. The menu takes a health-motivated approach toward veganism and includes simple dishes like soups, salads, and sandwiches. The owners also host gatherings at the cafe for those looking to socialize and meet other vegans.

The Vegan Table, Phuket

For vegan versions of just about any dish imaginable, be sure to visit The Vegan Table in Phuket. Offerings range from fresh-squeezed juices to avocado toast to vegan pizza and more. We especially love their vegan cheesecake for dessert.

Reform Kafe, Chiang Mai

Reform is one of our favorite places to eat when we’re in the mood for authentic Thai food dishes such as khao soi, a coconut curry soup with noodles. It’s set in a quaint little garden in the Green Tiger Guest House, an entirely plant-based hotel in Chiang Mai.

]]> Veganism has been on the rise in recent years in many locations around the world, but Singapore in particular has become one of the hottest spots in Asia when it comes to plant-based eating. The city-state has been ranked one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the world by restaurant guide Happy Cow as well as the second most vegan-friendly city in Asia by the region’s PETA branch. The movement has led to the creation of tons of vegan restaurants in Singapore, and we’ve found a few that especially stand out. 

nomVnom Bistro

As easy as it might be in much of the world to find vegan food, vegan food free of garlic and onions, which are a rare but not unheard of allergen, is much harder to come by. We love nomVnom for their allergy-friendly, plant-based takes on indulgent classics such as burgers and pizza.

Love Handle

Love Handle is Asia’s first plant-based butcher shop and deli, offering vegan versions of favorites ranging from beef steak to calamari. We love their deli for hearty dishes like chick’n & pancakes and truffle fries.

The Kind Bowl

The Kind Bowl has three locations around Singapore and offers plant-based takes on Asian cuisine such as pho, noodles, and banh mi. Their pho has even been ranked as the best vegan dish in Singapore by social media platform abillion.

We’re not the only ones who think so—they hold the title of National Pizza of the Year as well as Best Vegan Restaurant in the UK. Their menu features a one-of-a-kind vegan mozzarella cheese along with local, seasonal ingredients for toppings on each pie. We also love that they have tons of gluten-free options and that their menu is designed to accommodate any diet. They have a few different locations around the country; we always find ourselves at the Camden branch in London, where you’ll find us chowing down on our favorite dishes:

The Marinara One

You can never go wrong with a classic Margherita pizza. A sourdough crust is topped with a little marinara, some perfect mozzarella cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Sprinkle on a little basil and it’s chef’s kiss.

Cheesesteak Calzone

If you’re in the mood for something a little more indulgent than regular pizza, be sure to try the cheesesteak calzone. Vegan cheese, salami, and dried tomatoes are wrapped in a pillowy crust and baked to perfection. Don’t skimp on the garlic mayo as a dipping sauce, either.

]]> Tel Aviv is the place to be for anyone who keeps a plant-based diet. With about 4% of the population self-identifying as vegan, it’s often referred to as one of the most vegan-friendly places in the world. Here are our top picks for some of the best vegan restaurants in Tel Aviv that even non-vegans will enjoy.

416

Named for their address at HaArba St. 16 (HaArba translating to “four”) this restaurant is a paradise for anyone looking for a rich and indulgent meal. Everything on the menu is delicious and designed to be shared, and we especially recommend the fettuccini alfredo. It’s made with coconut cream and rich enough to satisfy even the biggest cheese-lover.

The Green Cat

HaHatul HaYarok as it’s known in Hebrew, meaning, “The Green Cat,” is an entirely vegan pizza restaurant located on Levontin St. Unlike other pizza places who often use pre-made soy-based cheese substitutes, this restaurant makes their own cheese daily out of cashews. Top it off with any of their fresh and unique toppings, like vegan pepperoni, and you’re good to go.

Bana

With a focus on local, seasonal fare, Bana offers a somewhat lighter dining experience than other vegan restaurants in Tel Aviv, although the rich and savory Oyster Mushroom with Garlic Confit over Baked Potatoes would have you fooled. This restaurant is very vegetable-forward and doesn’t offer too much in the way of imitation meats and cheeses, and instead lets the produce shine on its own.

]]> When you get that itch to travel, you might want to throw a dart at a globe and hop right on a plane. But if you’re vegan, you have to make sure before you leave that there will be food for you to eat. Luckily, veganism is a growing dietary choice that many people are making all over the world. In addition, many cultures already have a traditionally mostly vegan diet. Here are some of the most vegan-friendly cities to visit.

Bangkok, Thailand

Since Thailand has a Buddhist tradition, much of its food is already plant-based and vegan. So even in restaurants that aren’t specifically vegan, there are lots of options that are just vegetables. The one thing to look out for is fish sauce, which is in a lot of dishes—you may have to ask for it to be omitted in your meal. There’s also lots of vegan street food like fresh fruit and more.

Tel Aviv, Israel

Tel Aviv has one of the highest vegan concentrations in the world, and its restaurants reflect this. Most have some vegan options and there are many fully vegan restaurants from burger joints to gourmet food. It doesn’t hurt that much of the local street food like falafel and hummus is naturally vegan, too.

Palma De Mallorca, Spain

As a beautiful city in addition to its vegan options, Palma is a great choice if you’re thinking of traveling to Spain. The city boasts not only vegan restaurants but vegan hotels and even a vegan cooking school.

]]> Veganism has been becoming increasingly common around the world for years, and while we love seeing countries with traditionally meat-heavy cuisines rise in the global ranks in terms of plant-based dining options, we also have to give some credit to the places that were vegan-friendly before it was popular.

Thailand, with its abundance of fresh fruit stands and traditional veggie-centric dishes, is one such place, and it’s now home to plenty of completely plant-based cafes and restaurants as well. Here are some of the best ones we’ve found:

Bonita Cafe & Social Club, Bangkok

This family-owned cafe in Bangkok has been open for 10 years and in that time has become a staple for vegan locals and tourists alike. The menu takes a health-motivated approach toward veganism and includes simple dishes like soups, salads, and sandwiches. The owners also host gatherings at the cafe for those looking to socialize and meet other vegans.

The Vegan Table, Phuket

For vegan versions of just about any dish imaginable, be sure to visit The Vegan Table in Phuket. Offerings range from fresh-squeezed juices to avocado toast to vegan pizza and more. We especially love their vegan cheesecake for dessert.

Reform Kafe, Chiang Mai

Reform is one of our favorite places to eat when we’re in the mood for authentic Thai food dishes such as khao soi, a coconut curry soup with noodles. It’s set in a quaint little garden in the Green Tiger Guest House, an entirely plant-based hotel in Chiang Mai.

]]> Veganism has been on the rise in recent years in many locations around the world, but Singapore in particular has become one of the hottest spots in Asia when it comes to plant-based eating. The city-state has been ranked one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the world by restaurant guide Happy Cow as well as the second most vegan-friendly city in Asia by the region’s PETA branch. The movement has led to the creation of tons of vegan restaurants in Singapore, and we’ve found a few that especially stand out. 

nomVnom Bistro

As easy as it might be in much of the world to find vegan food, vegan food free of garlic and onions, which are a rare but not unheard of allergen, is much harder to come by. We love nomVnom for their allergy-friendly, plant-based takes on indulgent classics such as burgers and pizza.

Love Handle

Love Handle is Asia’s first plant-based butcher shop and deli, offering vegan versions of favorites ranging from beef steak to calamari. We love their deli for hearty dishes like chick’n & pancakes and truffle fries.

The Kind Bowl

The Kind Bowl has three locations around Singapore and offers plant-based takes on Asian cuisine such as pho, noodles, and banh mi. Their pho has even been ranked as the best vegan dish in Singapore by social media platform abillion.

]]> Purezza is a pizza restaurant in the UK offering an entirely plant-based menu and a delicious one at that. We’re not the only ones who think so—they hold the title of National Pizza of the Year as well as Best Vegan Restaurant in the UK. Their menu features a one-of-a-kind vegan mozzarella cheese along with local, seasonal ingredients for toppings on each pie. We also love that they have tons of gluten-free options and that their menu is designed to accommodate any diet. They have a few different locations around the country; we always find ourselves at the Camden branch in London, where you’ll find us chowing down on our favorite dishes:

The Marinara One

You can never go wrong with a classic Margherita pizza. A sourdough crust is topped with a little marinara, some perfect mozzarella cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Sprinkle on a little basil and it’s chef’s kiss.

Cheesesteak Calzone

If you’re in the mood for something a little more indulgent than regular pizza, be sure to try the cheesesteak calzone. Vegan cheese, salami, and dried tomatoes are wrapped in a pillowy crust and baked to perfection. Don’t skimp on the garlic mayo as a dipping sauce, either.

]]> Tel Aviv is the place to be for anyone who keeps a plant-based diet. With about 4% of the population self-identifying as vegan, it’s often referred to as one of the most vegan-friendly places in the world. Here are our top picks for some of the best vegan restaurants in Tel Aviv that even non-vegans will enjoy.

416

Named for their address at HaArba St. 16 (HaArba translating to “four”) this restaurant is a paradise for anyone looking for a rich and indulgent meal. Everything on the menu is delicious and designed to be shared, and we especially recommend the fettuccini alfredo. It’s made with coconut cream and rich enough to satisfy even the biggest cheese-lover.

The Green Cat

HaHatul HaYarok as it’s known in Hebrew, meaning, “The Green Cat,” is an entirely vegan pizza restaurant located on Levontin St. Unlike other pizza places who often use pre-made soy-based cheese substitutes, this restaurant makes their own cheese daily out of cashews. Top it off with any of their fresh and unique toppings, like vegan pepperoni, and you’re good to go.

Bana

With a focus on local, seasonal fare, Bana offers a somewhat lighter dining experience than other vegan restaurants in Tel Aviv, although the rich and savory Oyster Mushroom with Garlic Confit over Baked Potatoes would have you fooled. This restaurant is very vegetable-forward and doesn’t offer too much in the way of imitation meats and cheeses, and instead lets the produce shine on its own.

]]> When you get that itch to travel, you might want to throw a dart at a globe and hop right on a plane. But if you’re vegan, you have to make sure before you leave that there will be food for you to eat. Luckily, veganism is a growing dietary choice that many people are making all over the world. In addition, many cultures already have a traditionally mostly vegan diet. Here are some of the most vegan-friendly cities to visit.

Bangkok, Thailand

Since Thailand has a Buddhist tradition, much of its food is already plant-based and vegan. So even in restaurants that aren’t specifically vegan, there are lots of options that are just vegetables. The one thing to look out for is fish sauce, which is in a lot of dishes—you may have to ask for it to be omitted in your meal. There’s also lots of vegan street food like fresh fruit and more.

Tel Aviv, Israel

Tel Aviv has one of the highest vegan concentrations in the world, and its restaurants reflect this. Most have some vegan options and there are many fully vegan restaurants from burger joints to gourmet food. It doesn’t hurt that much of the local street food like falafel and hummus is naturally vegan, too.

Palma De Mallorca, Spain

As a beautiful city in addition to its vegan options, Palma is a great choice if you’re thinking of traveling to Spain. The city boasts not only vegan restaurants but vegan hotels and even a vegan cooking school.
