Vegan restaurants encourage meatless diets.
There are numerous vegan restaurants globally, so narrowing them down to the top vegan restaurants is a task that is very opinion-oriented. The most well-known vegan restaurants in the U.S. range from upscale, high-priced eateries to low-key, modestly-priced restaurants all with one thing in common: They all encourage a meatless diet in their communities. Add this to my Recipe Box.
