FAQs

What can vegans eat at fast-food restaurants?

Vegans can eat French fries (if cooked in vegetable oil), bean burritos without cheese (like at Taco Bell), and vegetable-heavy sushi rolls. Many major chains now offer dedicated plant-based burgers (like the Impossible Whopper at Burger King, ordered without mayo).

How do I ask for vegan food in a non-vegan restaurant?

When dining at a non-vegan restaurant, ask the server directly: 'I eat a strict plant-based diet with no meat, dairy, eggs, or honey. Can the chef prepare a vegetable pasta with olive oil, or a salad without cheese?' Reviewing the menu for naturally vegetable-heavy dishes first makes it easier for the kitchen to accommodate.
