The popularity of plant-based diets has exploded in recent years. At a time when our personal health and that of our loved ones has taken on paramount importance, it is fitting that we’ve seen a number of vegan and vegetarian restaurants open in Hong Kong. Check out our fave dishes from restaurants with the most delicious vegan food around the city.
Impossible Burger @ Butcher’s Club
With the rise in popularity of plant-based “meat” alternatives, it was inevitable that one of the most popular burger joints in town would get in on the act. Introducing the Impossible Burger from Butcher’s Club. The burger uses Vegan Cheddar, Vegan Sauce and a Vegan Scotch Bap to replicate the famous Classic Burger everyone has come to love over the years. And what’s more is that other fixtures from their menu have been reinvented using both Impossible “Meat” and Beyond “Meat”.

Baked Aloo Gobi @ VEDA
Just a few years ago, it would have been almost unthinkable of finding a fully vegetarian restaurant in an international hotel. But that’s exactly what the folks at Ovolo Hotel have done with VEDA. While not everything on the menu is vegan-friendly, there’s enough to keep everyone happy. Perhaps more exciting is the presence of several South Asian inspired dishes. For example the Aloo Gobi and Corn Kichdi.

Soil to Soul in K11 Musea is the first of its kind to hit the shores of Hong Kong and they’ve taken a fine dining approach to the healthy and unique cuisine. And with only few dishes that include honey or yogurt, there will plenty of vegan-friendly options. These include Korean Stir-fried Vermicelli and Blessed Tofu Pockets.

Meal plans have become more accessible over the years, and Green Cravings focuses exclusively on delivering plant-based meals.

Raw Chocolate Coconut Bites@ Treehouse
Founder Christian Mongendre knows plant-based cuisine, having found success with HOME Eat to Live before they closed in 2017. Thankfully he’s opened his new concept, Treehouse, with a very similar menu. This time set up in the trendy H Code on Pottinger Street, there are plenty of vegan options to choose from. Such as the Willow Flatbread, Forest Burger, or Raw Bites. Better yet, diners can create their own vegan-friendly Flatbread, Salad or Grain Bowl from the various ingredients at the counter.
