Vegan in Europe: 7 Vegan Restaurants That You can Visit in Europe

We’ve become so invested in rehabilitating the planet we all call home, starting from campaigns that tackle climate change and coastal clean-ups to protect our marine ecosystem to concocting a new lifestyle that doesn’t involve any meat consumption— our best solution yet to creating a more sustainable habitat for everyone including the future generation.

Being vegan is no easy feat especially if you live in a neighborhood where your options are limited.

This whole new lifestyle of trying to lessen your carbon footprint by omitting all types of meat products in your diet can be tough and challenging. But with a strong will and mindset, there is nothing that can shake your core when you decide to completely become vegan.

Vacationing around the globe is just as hard as living in a neighborhood with limited vegan options unless you make it yourself. Well, the good thing about this is that major cities anywhere in the world are slowly adapting to this new food revolution so finding a vegan restaurant during your holiday trip might be a bit of a quest, but it still is possible.

If you’re a vegan and traveling to Europe, we’ve done the homework for you. Here are 7 restaurants that you can go to for your vegan needs.

They also have a raw vegan bakery in Mjolby if you wish to snack on pastries.

Your vegan restaurant options may feel a bit lean as of the moment, but with a little more patience, I’m pretty sure that in no time, being vegan will take over the world not just because it’s a trend but because everyone will come to realize its full potential in keeping this world a sustainable place to live in.

If in case that doesn’t happen a couple of years from now, try setting up your own vegan place to promote the lifestyle even more.

And if you know nothing about putting up your restaurant, hire professional services that will do the job for you— from having a reliable business strategist to a chef that will help you plan a vegan menu down to a vacation rental cleaning service that will help you tidy up the place and turn it into a sensational vegan restaurant for old-timers and converts.
