Listings Criteria for Vegan-friendly Eateries

In this section we list out dining establishments that are suitable for vegans in South Africa. Our dual purpose is to promote restaurants and fastfood outlets that offer dining choices for vegans, 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 dining 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 meal options:

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

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 business listed and help promote veganism in South Africa.

Note: all of these South African restaurants are suitable for vegetarians, and many are likely to have more vegetarian options than the minimum number of vegan options detailed in the criteria above.

Testimonials: 

"What a fantastic site, it's good to know we are not alone out there as vegetarians and vegans!! I always struggle to find vegan food to the extent that I never eat out any more, as I always get served some lousy leftover lettuce." - Michele Rockchic, S. Africa
