Vegan directory

Vegan restaurants, caterers, stores, cooking classes, vacations and more

The definition we use for vegan places in the rest of the Vegetarian Directory includes places that offer bee products and the odd dairy option, but for this page we specify which places are strictly vegan (they have a green v).

For other restaurants listed here, we specify the non-vegan products that prevent them from being 100% vegan. Please use our contact us page to send updates if we have missed anything. Note: Only food has been considered, we have not examined cleaning products or pest control.

Also see our Raw foods page, Bakeries page and online Marketplace page for more vegan products and suppliers.
