Tips for Finding More #
-
Look for “vegan-friendly” vs “fully vegan/vegetarian”: Many non-veggie restaurants in Vienna offer vegan dishes, but if you want to be safe you can check menus ahead (online) or use apps like HappyCow.
-
Cafés & dessert spots are good bets: Especially newer cafés tend to have dairy-free milk, vegan cakes, etc.
-
Try fast food chains that are vegan: Swing Kitchen is one example. Also some burger / wrap places, vegan ice cream parlors.
-
Seasonality & local ingredients: Many restaurants that do vegan menus put emphasis on seasonal/local produce, which means the offerings might change with the time of year.
