Guidelines for submitting a NON-veg "veg-friendly" restaurant
Please submit restaurants that primarily serve CRUELTY-FREE and COW-FRIENDLY food
Preferably, at least 50% of the menu should be 100% plant-based (dairy-free, egg-free, vegan). The menu should delineate veg options, and the owners should demonstrate some respect for the lives of animals and the environment (further explained below).
Points that help to get a restaurant listed
- An entirely separate veg & plant-based menu
- A separate kitchen area with dedicated cookware & utensils for preparing the veg & plant-based dishes, separated from flesh meat
- A menu with at least 2 entirely vegan dishes
- A business which is 50%+ organic or sustainably-locally sourced
- An attitude by the restaurant management of respecting vegans and working toward accommodating us as well as showing compassion for animals served as food (i.e. free-range, cage free, no antibiotics and hormones )
- A website with menu posted which supports any of the above points
- No vegan or lacto-ovo vegetarian restaurant currently exist in the City
Points that could block a meat restaurant from getting listed
- Serves veal, fois gras, shark fin, lamb, and such cruelty food
- Uses the products of conventional factory farming (intensive animal farming)
- Typical Thai, Ethiopian, Chinese, Japanese, or Falafel places with little specifically designed for veg*ns or not clearly printed on the menu
- Pizza place with maybe a cheese-less pizza but nothing else provided especially for vegans like vegan cheese and vegan toppings
- Veg-option is limited to a hummus wrap and a couple salads with dairy
- A menu with ZERO vegan items
- Your submission is NOT mostly vegetarian, and you do not explain why it should be listed.
We appreciate your participation in growing the VEG movement.
