Our dual purpose is to promote restaurants and fastfood outlets that offer vegan dining choices whilst also providing a useful guide for South African vegans searching for places to eat. Our listings service is free of charge.

To qualify for a listing on our site as a vegan-friendly restaurant, an eatery must have the following vegan options:

• 3 starters and 3 main courses on its menu (can include 1 salad each course); or
• For dining options that are not on the menu - 1 starter and 1 main course that are changed daily.

To qualify for a listing as a vegan-friendly fastfood outlet, an establishment must have the following vegan options:

If your business meets either of these criteria and you would like to be listed here, we'll gladly reward you with a free listing. Please contact us now to get your vegan-friendly restaurant listed and help promote veganism in South Africa.

Testimonials: 

"What a great website, thanks. We're not vegans, but are dairy intolerant and not great meat eaters. I found many useful places to get the alternatives we need for a varied and tasty diet, without the moans of "why can't I have ..." from my 10 yr old son!" - Denise Joy, South Africa
