Best vegan dishes in Hong Kong

From discoverhongkong.com

Eating meat-free meals in Hong Kong gets easier every year, with more and more plant-based, vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants opening up — as well as more restaurants offering vegan menus and dishes. While not all of the restaurants listed here are vegan or vegetarian, all of these delectable dishes are 100 per cent vegan.

Here’s where to go to find the best vegan dishes in Hong Kong:

VEDA: aloo gobi

VEDA at Ovolo Central is Hong Kong’s first vegetarian flagship restaurant presented by an international hotel group. The plant-based restaurant offers many vegan and gluten-free options, our favourite of which is the aloo gobi — a unique take on the curry dish made with baked cauliflower, crispy cumin seeds, roasted potatoes and crunchy nuts.

TokyoLima: tacu tacu

While Nikkei (Japanese Peruvian fusion cuisine) restaurant TokyoLima is not vegan or vegetarian, they do offer an extensive selection of veggie dishes as well as a full vegan menu that can be arranged on request. Their tacu tacu, traditional fried Peruvian rice with delicious grilled vegetables, will have you scooping up every last bit.

Miss Lee: floating boat

Miss Lee sets itself apart from other Chinese vegetarian restaurants by using only natural ingredients — not a single fake meat in sight! One dish that stands out on their menu full of vegetarian and vegan delights is the floating boat. This vegan take on a Thai lettuce wrap is made with chopped bean curd, preserved vegetables, Thai spices and lime — and it somehow manages to taste exactly like the traditional meat version!

Soil to Soul: braised tomato and eggplant

Soil to Soul is the first of its kind in Hong Kong, serving up fine dining, modern Korean temple food that adheres to Buddha-Dharma teachings, avoiding five pungent ingredients believed to distract the mind with impure thoughts: garlic, spring onion, leek, chive and onion. The menu is eco-friendly and predominantly vegan, with only a few dishes using honey and yogurt. Their braised tomato and eggplant is a simple yet gorgeous dish, served with the restaurant’s signature fermented soy sauce and full of umami flavour.

Big Dill: return of the mac

Who says that junk food can’t be vegan?Big Dill serves indulgent dishes that are good for the planet and guilt-free. All dishes are 100 per cent vegan and their burgers, fries and hot dogs are particularly popular. However, the return of the mac is probably our favourite item on the menu. Made with truffle and dairy-free cheese, this dish is just as creamy and delicious as its cheesy counterpart.

Treehouse: margherita sourdough pizza

Plant-based, high-tech spot Treehouse has a menu full of casual, flavourful eats made with completely natural ingredients. Known for their salads and flatbreads, they’ve recently added pizzas to their extensive menu. The margherita sourdough pizza has a light and crispy sourdough base topped with San Marzano tomato, basil, house-made vegan cheese and a cheesy blend sprinkled with herbs.

Beef & Liberty: falafel burger

Don’t let the beefy name deter you, Beef & Liberty actually has one of the best plant-based menus in the city thanks to their sustainable Leaves & Liberty initiative which highlights greener, healthier and more sustainable menu items. While all of their burgers can be made vegan with an Impossible patty, vegan cheese and vegan bun, our favourite plant-based burger option is the falafel burger made with their house falafel, sriracha mayonnaise, rocket, tomato and parsley salsa on a vegan bun. Best served with sweet potato or Impossible chilli cheese fries!
