All Vegans are Vegetarian, but not all Vegetarians are Vegan. Confused? The defining line is pretty clear, yet it may often be confused. Like vegetarians, vegans also do not eat any animal flesh: so no chicken, cow, seafood, pig or any other animal meat. However, in addition to that, a vegan also doesn’t eat eggs, dairy products or any other products derived from an animal. So if you are vegan or are looking to try veganism, here is a list of 8 restaurants and cafes in the city with vegan options on their menu. Bon appétit!
1. Greenr
Greenr is a vegan paradise with a delicious choice of vegan dishes. They also have a variety of vegan milk blends, cold-pressed juices, and artisanal coffee on the menu. Sounds fancy, right? Along with a great ambience (shoutout to being nature-friendly) they have a curated menu which is extremely well thought out and seems to have been created after a lot of research and testing. The food options are as different as they could be and supremely healthy and tasty.
