Vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Cape Town

Restaurants across South Africa are having to adjust their menus to cater to the herbivores of the world. With the growth in plant-based lifestyles, we’re seeing changes in the way the service industry works. And now it’s considered a missed opportunity for eateries in the city not to cater to our health-driven, ethical citizens. Canal Walk may not have restaurants that are strictly for vegans and vegetarians, but many of them do incorporate these options. This way, you can continue to enjoy your favourite health food restaurants without worrying about sticking to your diet.

Brocka is known to have a menu of oversized, meat filled, cheesed up burgers. But fear not, for they cater to the veggies as well! Customers with specific dietary preferences are able to replace their chicken or beef with falafel patties that are just as tasty as their meat options. That way, you can still enjoy their amazing burgers without impacting your diet. And you might like to know that Brocka is also halaal certified.

Brocka has an amazing menu stretching from breakfast to dinner. Enjoy a “Rise n Roll” breakfast burger made especially for vegetarians. And simply requesting to remove any dairy products will make it perfect for vegans too. In fact, their staff would be more than happy to help you make adjustments to any meal that you have your eyes on. If that sounds like a great plan to you, get yourself down to this exclusive Canal Walk diner. Take the opportunity to fall in love with their street-food inspired meals, suitable for anyone and any dietary preference.
