Sample The World’s Menu At The Best Vegan Restaurants In Abu Dhabi

Designing their menu with an alchemist-level precision, Wild & The Moon is a mecca for vegan travelers. Alongside a soul-quenching selection of cold-pressed juices, Wild & The Moon serves gluten-, dairy-, GMO-free, organic and ethically-sourced vegan dishes, too.

With all these “free-froms,” you may wonder what is in their food. The answer? Pure health. Chow down on the Wild Truffle Pizza, made with a coconut wrap base. Or, kick-start your day with the Glow Bowl, piled high with tropical fruit and nutrient-rich seeds.

We’ve all been there: it’s midnight, and you suddenly crave a pizza like your life depends on it. Enter: Pizza Di Rocco. Open late for deliveries, you can placate your noisy stomach with a handmade vegan pizza that’ll outshine your local takeaway.

Using traditional techniques, the pizzaiolos at Pizza Di Rocco spin up artisan Italian pizzas in their cupola-style oven. Even their toppings are homemade: from Rocco tomato sauce to fresh basil pesto, it doesn’t get more authentic than this—outside of Italy, at least.

You needn’t ditch your healthy diet simply because you’re traveling. At The Raw Place, you can order an all-organic, vegan meal plan tailored to you. Or, pick from a 1 to 10-day juice cleanse with a trio of possibilities: The Rinse, The Wash, or The Makeover.

Prefer to dine in? Good choice: The Raw Place creates a tranquil setting to share veg-packed plates with your favorite people. Ideal after a luxury spa treatment, try the classic Acai Bowl, washed down with a potent ginger shot. And take our word for it: the vegan chocolate truffles are not to be missed.

The Kare Burosu Ramen is a must-try, as is the Tochigi Yellow Tofu Curry, sizzling with aromatic spices and nourishing Asian veggies. Prefer to keep it light? Crunch into the Raw Salad, and finish with a palate-freshening Lemongrass and Lime Sorbet—all happily vegan-friendly.

Come breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can head down to Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant for authentic South Indian cuisine transporting you straight

to the subcontinent. Naturally, everything is vegetarian (with some vegan options) and comes bursting with the quintessential spices of the region.

Break your fast with the hearty masala dosa—served Keralan-style—or tuck into the tastebud tantalizing thali, complete with pickles, chutneys, and steaming curry. A firm favorite of Abu Dabhi’s Indian population, the contented clientele provides all the social proof you need.

Dine amidst beguiling interiors at Kamat, where exposed brick, geometric prints, and industrial-chic lighting rue the day. Serving happy customers since 1992, Kamat Vegetarian Restaurant has gone from strength to strength (see? These vegetarians are clearly getting enough protein).

Masterchefs when it comes to North and South Indian cuisine, you can skip the decision-making and go straight for the thali, or bedeck your table with smaller dishes. From the Seekh Kebab to Malai Kofta, you’ll discover established favorites or sample something new.

For a casual (vegan-friendly) bite, amble over to Cafe 302, a urban affair nestled in the Al Maha Arjaan Hotel. The perfect place to people-watch over a Turkish coffee, you’ll adore the buzzing atmosphere and diverse clientele.

If you’re pining for the nori rolls and delicate rice desserts of the Far East, head straight to COCO Asia to get your fill. The epitome of Asian fusion, COCO Asia serves poke bowls galore (you can even build your own), in addition to Tofu Satay, Yakisoba Bowls, Nasi Goreng, Miso Ramen and—well, the list is endless.

The best part? Everything is made with fresh ingredients, in-house. And no, you won’t get a side dish of GMO, either. For a country-hopping food tour of East Asia’s finest cuisine, COCO Asia is your go-to.

Perched on Al Saadiyat Island, Black Tap Abu Dhabi offers a quirky, American-diner vibe, where juicy craft burgers (traditional vegan, and falafel) and crispy fries are washed down with decadent CrazyShake milkshakes.

The true-to-form gargantuan portions are served with Instagrammable presentation—and expect graffiti-splashed walls, a soundtrack of pumping hip hop beats, and a laid-back atmosphere. And the only thing missing? Rollerskating waitstaff. But hey, you can’t have it all.

Absorb the peaceful views of turquoise ocean, white sands, and coconut palms at Alkalime, while you munch down on vegan treats fresh from the kitchen.
