Generally speaking, which kinds of restaurants offer the most options for vegans?
A. The number of vegetarian and vegetarian-friendly restaurants is growing, as is the presence of natural food stores, which often include in-house cafes. When one of these isn’t at hand, trot to the nearest ethnic restaurant, such as Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian, Italian, Thai, or Japanese (believe it or not, sushi restaurants often offer great tofu and sea vegetable options). Buffet restaurants are another option, although these can be tricky if the ingredients for each dish aren’t clearly labeled. Wherever you go, you have the opportunity to educate servers and chefs about veganism and encourage them to whip up something special for you.
