The 100 Best Vegan in the World

A nine-course vegetable tasting menu in Shaw where the chef holds a James Beard Award and a Michelin star, and still manages to make a beet taste like pastrami. Rob Rubba's kitchen treats local farms as the whole point, not a selling line, and the results are the kind of thing that makes omnivores quietly reconsider their priorities. The bread alone, enriched with "garleeks" and served with sunflower-marigold butter, gets talked about for days afterward.

A pitched-roof skylight fills the minimalist dining room with natural light, and the handpicked ceramics suggest you're somewhere that has thought carefully about everything. Lamdre is a fine-dining vegan restaurant in Sanlitun holding two Michelin stars and a spot on Asia's 50 Best list, where a seasonally changing menu draws on China's regional traditions and the chef's research trips into the country's lesser-known ingredients. The name comes from Tibetan Buddhism, which tells you the vibe isn't purely culinary.

Plant-based Peruvian tasting menus in Shaw sounds like a premise that requires a disclaimer, yet Mita holds a Michelin star and a James Beard nomination for Best New Restaurant. The chef's team pulls from across Latin America, so the flavors run from Andean to coastal without apology. Two tasting menu lengths mean you can commit at whatever level feels reasonable on a Tuesday. The bar program is serious enough that Punch named the team among its best new bartenders.

Seaweed pressings on deep blue walls and dried grasses set the coastal mood at this small, plant-forward restaurant in Kitsilano. The menu rotates around whatever vegetables the kitchen is currently obsessing over, and the cooking is the kind that makes omnivores forget to keep score. A no-tipping policy made headlines when it opened, but the food is what keeps people coming back. It holds a Michelin Guide selection.

A Michelin-starred vegan restaurant tucked into a corner plot near Wiedikon, KLE has the warm, informal feel of a neighborhood pub that happens to serve some of the more quietly thrilling food in Zurich. The chef's Moroccan roots and time cooking in New York and Switzerland surface in dishes that are unfussy but pointed. Solo diners get a converted phone booth. Everyone else books ahead and lets the seasonal surprise menu do the talking.

Frankfurt's narrowest building turns out to hold a Michelin-starred vegan restaurant, which feels like exactly the sort of thing Frankfurt would do. Floor-to-ceiling windows look over the River Main while the team works through a five-hour tasting menu, all guests eating together, the chef narrating each course. Produce comes largely from the restaurant's own farm. Book far ahead; a table here is not something you stumble into.

Funk is a plant-based bakery in Zuid whose croissants shatter like they have something to prove, all without a gram of butter. The ground floor has the best light and a calm that feels almost suspicious for a place with a pastry case this good. Showing up shortly before 10 gets you a table and a short queue, and the kitchen then starts on savory plates, which aren't all vegan.

Sunchoke with salal berry and burnt onion isn't a dish you'd find yourself ordering on instinct, which is part of the point at this creative vegetarian fine-dining room in Mount Pleasant. The kitchen names its organic BC suppliers on the menu and takes texture as seriously as flavor. The Michelin Guide has it selected, and first-timers tend to do well surrendering to the tasting menu rather than pretending they know what salal berry tastes like.

Stuffed cabbage arrives in a sauceboat of jus at this vegan bistro on a street that has quietly become a destination for serious eaters. The kitchen works from French bourgeois tradition, just without the butter and cream, which sounds like a contradiction until the food arrives and you stop thinking about it. Croquettes, glazed king trumpet mushrooms, lentil pâté: the sharing plates lean generous, and the room stays unpretentious about the whole thing.

Colorful murals from local artists cover every wall at this plant-based Latin restaurant on East 6th, where the smell of spices hits you before the door closes. The menu is scratch-made and mostly vegan, pulling from Mexican and Latin traditions with jackfruit carnitas and al pastor tacos that don't apologize for the absence of meat. The chef was a James Beard semifinalist in 2024, which tracks with how seriously the kitchen takes the food.

A Center City brownstone that's been quietly making the case for vegan fine dining from its spot on Locust Street. Inside, the space unfolds across several rooms with the feeling of a very elegant townhouse, warm lighting and all. The plant-based menu leans into seasonal ingredients and international flavors, so dishes arrive with a sharpness that gives the table something to argue over. Seasonal cocktails and attentive service round out what amounts to a full night.

The menu swings from Yucatecan pumpkin-seed dips to a jackfruit Cubano, and the seitan carne asada crunchwrap is an unironic love letter to Taco Bell that somehow works completely on its own terms.

Vegan Chinese food that doesn't feel like a compromise is the premise here, and ALT.a makes a reasonable case for it. The kitchen reimagines classics like jjamppong and tangsuyuk using only plant-based ingredients, leaning on crisp coatings and chewy textures where the meat usually does the convincing. The cooking runs notably light, which keeps the whole meal from feeling like a statement. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

The outdoor bar lives inside a repurposed shipping container, which tells you something about this brewpub's sensibility. Arizona Wilderness pours a rotating slate of seasonal ales alongside house classics, and the kitchen keeps pace with oversized burgers, an Arizonan hot fried chicken sandwich, and duck fat fries that have developed their own following. The vegan options are less afterthought than actual draw. Bench seating, a beer garden, and desert weather do the rest.

The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, and the bowl holds up its end of that bargain.

Jackfruit quesabirria tacos with plant-based mozzarella are the headline at this vegan Mexican taco shop in the Arcadia neighborhood, a casual counter-order spot where the menu reads like any solid taqueria, right down to the bucket of Modelos. Burritos come stuffed with rice, beans, fries, and your pick of plant-based protein, which is either very 2010s or exactly what you wanted.

The room is casual and unpretentious, the portions are honest, and the menu runs from supplì to seitan mains, so there's no shortage of places to land. A good stop whether you're vegan or just curious what Roman comfort food looks like when the kitchen redraws the rules.

A vegan bistro where the kitchen produces something close to spaghetti alle vongole without a single clam in sight, coaxing the texture and flavor from an emulsion of pea water and vegetable fat. The rest of the menu runs the same way: fondues, lasagnas, and ravioli built on plant-based cheeses rather than dairy. The room is welcoming and the service is sharp, which helps when you're asking diners to set aside a lifetime of Neapolitan culinary assumptions.

A Keith Haring sculpture in red stands against raised vegetable beds, herb patches, and forest edge on the third-floor terrace of The Dolder Grand.

You ring a doorbell to get in, which sets the tone for everything that follows. This is a formal vegan tasting menu restaurant inside a handsome Regency townhouse in Soho, where Alexis Gauthier applies a classical French kitchen sensibility to entirely plant-based seasonal menus.

The cheerful mishmash of colorful accessories and authentic Thai furnishings signals exactly what kind of meal you're in for at this casual vegan Thai spot in Friedrichshain.

A good place to find that pad thai craving and discover you didn't miss the fish sauce at all.

The entrance is tucked away enough that finding it feels intentional, and the long mirrored corridor before you reach the dining room rather sets the tone. Inside, a vegan Japanese tasting menu leans hard on fermentation, which the kitchen pursues seriously enough to run its own fermentation lab.

A vegan restaurant in a lively Hanover neighborhood where the chefs also carry the plates and explain what's on them, which sounds like a gimmick until you realize they can actually answer your questions.

Organic wines, a genuinely relaxed room, and owners who seem to be there every night complete the picture. About fifteen minutes by tram from the main station.

Order extra bread regardless, because the gravy always wins the race. The San Francisco Chronicle named it among the Bay Area's top South Asian and top vegetarian spots.
