Some Observations on Dubai’s Vegan Dining Scene
Dubai’s vegan/plant‑based dining scene has expanded dramatically in recent years: more cafés, restaurants and wellness‑oriented eateries are catering to vegans and plant‑based diners same as omnivores.
The city now offers a wide spectrum — from raw plant‑based brunch spots and eco‑cafés to fine‑dining venues and casual comfort‑food restaurants. This makes it easy whether you’re travelling, experimenting with a plant-rich lifestyle, or fully vegan.
Many venues are welcoming to mixed diets — a plus if you travel or dine with friends who don’t follow a strictly vegan lifestyle.
