    Hong Kong is a foodie’s heaven, with its truly cosmopolitan cuisines there’s something for every palate and mood. But what about those who are vegetarian or vegan? With the growing trend towards plant-based cuisine there’s more choice than ever before. Here’s a look at what’s on offer for vegan and vegetarian dining in Hong Kong, pure veggie and vegan/vegetarian-friendly.

    Hemingway’s — Vegan

    This laid-back waterfront bar, restaurant and live music venue in Discovery Bay has recently switched to a completely vegetarian (mainly vegan) menu in an effort to ‘save the planet, one plate at a time’ and spread the word about animal agriculture’s massive impact on climate change. This menu challenges the stereotype of vegans surviving on salad alone, and features comfort-food favourites such as chilli, shepherd’s pie, BBQ pulled “pork” sandwiches (made with jackfruit), spag bol and burgers, all served without a shred of meat in sight.

    DDeck, Discovery Bay, Lantau Island (3 min walk from ferry pier), 2987 8804

    OVOCafé — Vegetarian

    The ambience at OVOCafe in Wan Chai makes you feel like you’re dining in a funky greenhouse, with potted plants and greenery looming amongst eco-chic wooden furniture (the Central location is a similar affair). They do heavenly risottos and a tempting spinach cheese pie with portobello, but what brings us back are the all day breakfasts. Each location has its own, but either will please your belly, as the plate is packed with hearty veggie and vegan comforts.

    Kung Tak Lam — Vegetarian

    Family-friendly restaurant serving Shanghainese cuisine which is purely vegetarian. Their crispy sesame bread makes a great accompaniment to a bowl of soothing pumpkin soup. End with a few of their addictive deep fried egg whites with red bean paste filling.

Opt for one of their set lunches, starting at $65, for when you’re craving a spicy green or red curry, or a heaping bowl of warming turka dal (Indian split lentil soup).

    This place is still hopping since it opened in Central a few years ago. Space is limited, but it’s a perfect spot for grabbing a quick bite, especially if you’re keen on doing share plates. They do a mean plate of truffle fries (with shiitake tempeh, truffle mayo and pickled daikon), but they’re known for their baos, which fortunately cater to vegetarians. The “Sloppy Chan” is a spongey ball of goodness bursting with Taiwanese braised shiitake tempeh, truffle mayo, sweet pickled daikon and fried shallot. The Impossible Bao with an Impossible patty, black pepper glaze, fuyu mayo, and lemon kombu coleslaw is also great. Do tell your server that you’re vegetarian/vegan, as they have items available that can be tweaked for veggie appetites.

    Vegetarian & vegan-friendly restaurants: Local cuisine

    Many Chinese restaurants will have a few veggie options with their dim sum and main courses, and may also be willing to prepare several dishes without any meat. This may not be possible for all dim sum, but can easily be arranged with rice and noodle dishes. Here are a few of our top choices for local veggie cuisine.

    Another one on the fancier end of the dining spectrum, Hoi King Heen gets consistently good marks for their Cantonese cuisine, and they too have an exclusive vegetarian menu with a decent selection. It’s a great option when you want to impress out of town guests, as you’ll dine in a ritzy Oriental setting. But it’s not for the casual crowd: flip flops are a no no.
