A fully vegan place in Tashkent! - Edit
It was very nice to find this place and to be immersed in a “vegan health food environment.” (The place is FULLY VEGAN except for honey.) The woman who worked there was very friendly with us. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t the best. The sushi was frankly quite awful. The pesto pasta was good but not great and the tofu and lentil patty sandwich left more to be desired. Likewise, the desserts were good, but not amazing. I definitely recommend going while you’re in Tashkent but the food is sadly not anything to write home about.

Vegan restaurant! - Edit
Vegan except for honey. Not the best vegan food ever, but still a welcome change from asking for vegetarian plov or lagman everywhere. Lots of dishes to choose from, all healthy. Examples include vegan pesto pasta, tofu sandwiches etc.

Thursday = Vegan Plov Day - Edit
If you are in Tashkent on a Thursday, make sure to stop over at this place. They serve a traditional made (over woodfire outside in a large cauldron) mouthwatering Plov you will unlikely forget for a long time.

Unexpected vegan gem - Edit
I have had a chance to eat in many vegan restaurants in many countries, but this little restaurant takes the cake.
Read moreFirst of all, finding a purely vegan place in Uzbekistan of all places is a small miracle by itself. So far this is the only dedicated vegan restaurant in the country. Usually, in such cases food is not very good as owners do not have to compete with restaurants of a similar ilk. Not the case this time.
This place is located in a semi-basement. It is well-lit and cozy. The walls are artfully decorated and there is a huge mirror with a haystack(!) next to it for people to a sit on and chat if they want to do so some way outside of the seating area. The best fixture of the place is a cat who freely walks around and is quite friendly to the customers.
The stuff is genuinely friendly and really want you to have a fantastic experience. The relationship between the staff and the owners is amazing. The owners of the place obviously treat their staff as family. They are all on great terms, joke around, eat together, mingle with patrons as friends rather than servers. If you frequent the place it is hard not to become friends with them.
There is maybe a dozen dishes on their menu every day and what they offer varies from day to day. They post what they have on the menu on Instagram every day (https://www.instagram.com/ecocafetashkent/). The presentation of dishes is tasteful and they are quite delicious to my taste. Their desert line is the best in Tashkent and, yes, it is all vegan. Their current head chef worked in a Michelin-star restaurant and it shows in some unusually fun taste combos although most dishes are more conventional.
Dishes I recommend: Chickpea omelet is fantastic. So are spinach pancakes and crepes. All deserts are amazing. They have an awesome pastry chef. Stuffed sweat potato is out-of-this world good! Cold buckwheat noodles (soba) are extremely good. Something like this would not be out of place in a good restaurant in Japan.
Dishes that I avoid: Their "sandwich" (yes, this is the official name of the dish) is delicious, but gives me heartburn for some reason. Vegan fishsticks are nothing to write home about either. They are not terrible. Just easily outclassed by other items on the menu.
Overall, this is one of my most favorite places in the world because it connects with you on a deeper level than food. I always feel emotionally better after I visit this place. Highly recommend it!
Pros: Caring, fun and friendly atmosphere. , Free fruits and rosehip tea.
Cons: This is a pricy place. Average check is about $18., Slow delivery. , Limited menu.
