On the hunt for the best vegan restaurants in Dubai? Don’t worry we have got you covered with the top places in town…
If the world went vegan overnight, drastic changes would start to occur – both to the planet and ourselves.
Arguably one of healthier diets one can follow (when followed properly, of course) this cruelty-free way of life reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, making it one of the most environmentally-friendly options when it comes to nourishing our bodies. While making the decision to go vegan is a huge step, opting for plant-based choices when it comes to our meals is one of the easiest ways to back the movement. Here, Bazaar shares 17 of the best vegan restaurants in Dubai.
