OUR TOP 7 VEGAN RESTAURANTS IN CAPE TOWN
Throughout the world, people are becoming conscious about their impact on the planet. This has led to a number of movements arising, one of these being veganism. What was once a fringe movement has become a global phenomenon (between 2014 and 2017, the number of vegans in the United States grew from 1% to 6%, a 600% increase!).
As the number of plant-based eaters increases so does the availability of plant-based options. Of course, if any city in South Africa is going to be at the forefront of the vegan movement, it’s the trendy, cool and cosmopolitan Cape Town. Vegans can eat their hearts out at a number of vegan restaurants offering delicious and mouth-watering plant-based dishes. Here are our top 10.
