Where to find restaurants with vegan options in Hong Kong
Posto Pubblico
The team at Posto knows how to party when it comes to offering their customers great vegan dishes. We’ve been to visit and indulge a few times now, and even the meat eaters are down for this menu. Homemade orrichiette with green garlic and broccoli rabe pesto, preserved lemon, sundried tomato and chili? Yes, please! The most delicate beet carpaccio? MMM… Heavenly. We are also totally obsessed with the eggplant bolognese that is hearty and warming, yet completely plant-based. And our absolute favourites are the deep-fried enoki mushrooms. Lovely fresh local mushrooms are fried till golden and then served with fresh lemon, and they taste magical. Head over for the amazing happy hour deal, and stay for the food!

Bread Street Kitchen
Along with the move to Peak Galleria, Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen has upped its game in terms of plant-based options – woohoo! Vegans can indulge in the likes of curried chickpeas or hearty lentil soup before tucking into pineapple carpaccio with coconut sorbet for dessert. There are loads of lacto/ovo vegetarian options to.

Cardamon Street
This new joint in SoHo caters for everyone, including gluten-free peeps! Chow down on Indian food with a western twist here–think tacos, sliders and mezze platters, and be sure to sample the cocktails. We love that the menu is clearly labelled, so you know what you can eat without having to be that annoying person at the table…

Honbo
While burgers may not spring to mind as vegan fare, the team at Honbo knows better. In fact, their vegan burger is one of their most popular items on the menu, and for good reason too! With a patty made from mushrooms, roasted eggplants, and chickpeas, it’s topped with marinated black fungus and pickles and served on a delish vegan bun. Coming in at just 310 calories, this definitely has to be eaten to be believed.
