The Vegan Travel Guide

"Japan is impossible for vegans."

We heard this so many times. So we went to Tokyo and spent weeks testing every district, every ramen shop, every convenience store.

Turns out Tokyo has one of Asia's most developed plant-based dining scenes — vegan sushi, gyoza, ramen, and a Buddhist temple cuisine that's been naturally vegan for over 1,000 years.

Our full 2026 guide covers:
🍜 The best vegan ramen in Tokyo (and what's actually worth the queue)
🍣 Where to find vegan sushi — yes, it exists and it's good
🥟 The rapidly growing vegan gyoza scene
🏯 Shojin Ryori — Buddhist temple food that predates the word "vegan"
🏪 What to buy at 7-Eleven, Lawson & FamilyMart
🗣️ Japanese phrases to order safely at any restaurant

Planning a Tokyo trip? This one's for you 👇

Tokyo gets a bad reputation among vegan travelers. You'll hear the same warning repeated: Japan is tough for vegans, dashi is everywhere, and you'll spend your trip eating plain rice. Some of that is true in rural areas. In Tokyo, most of it isn't. This vegan Tokyo guide is built…

We completely rebuilt our US vegan resort guide — and the reason it needed rebuilding is a little embarrassing.

The old version listed nine properties under "vegan resorts USA." Six of them were in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Ecuador.

So. We fixed it.

The new guide covers 13 genuine US properties, rated by tier so you know exactly what you're actually getting:

🟢 100% Vegan — every meal, every amenity, no exceptions
🟡 Plant-Forward — built around plants, some minor exceptions
🔵 Vegan-Friendly — strong menus, mainstream resort

We also answered the question nobody else seems to have answered properly: are there any truly all-inclusive vegan resorts in the USA? (Short answer: barely. Longer answer in the guide.)

From $85/night at a Utah animal sanctuary to $700/night in Beverly Hills — it's all in there.

12 genuine US vegan resorts rated by tier — 100% plant-based, plant-forward, or vegan-friendly. With prices, honest limitations, and all-inclusive options.

2017: Lewis Hamilton changes what’s on his plate.

He’s already winning races.
He’s already living in a world where tiny edges matter.

Then he goes plant-based anyway.

Not because it’s trendy.
Because he lines it up with what he cares about: animals, the planet, and how he feels day to day.

He talks about energy.
He talks about recovery.

He also brings his dog into it.
Same household. Same choices. Same message: “This matters at home too.”

People expect compassion to make you softer.
He proves it can make you clearer.

If a driver at 200mph can change course, you can too.
One meal. One swap. One week.

You don’t need permission to evolve.
You just need a reason you actually believe in.

Name a place you’d go back to just for one meal

Sadly I think Gaz Oakley will soon be eating locally sourced eggs and honey, leading into eating locally reared and processed meat.

Hope I’m wrong.

Yay more falafel 🙄

What’s your go-to airport snack that never lets you down?

Just saw someone saying being vegan is racist and akin to being a white supremacist 😂

But where does he get his protein?!

Plant-based dining is booming across the country – not just in big cities. Mid-sized spots like Victoria, Niagara Falls, Kelowna and Saint John are punching above their weight, with some of the highest vegan restaurant densities anywhere in Canada. Victoria has around 141 vegan spots and nearly 50 per 100,000 people, while Toronto tops the charts with 1,221 vegan/veggie/GF venues but a lower density.

Price matters too. Hamilton is one of the best bargains with average meals around CA$19.85 and strong ratings, while London’s gourmet-leaning scene averages CA$27.56. Victoria sits in the middle at about CA$22.79, with a mix of chill cafés and smarter restaurants.

The guide also shines a spotlight on:

• Vancouver’s huge vegan scene and events like Planted Expo

• Victoria’s relaxed, produce-led favourites like Nourish Kitchen & Café and Be Love

• Toronto’s Vegandale, Fresh, Hogtown Vegan and more

• Montreal classics like Aux Vivres and Lola Rosa serving poutine, smoked “meat” and French-inspired plates

• Tourism-driven hubs like Niagara Falls and Kelowna, with vegan ice cream, burgers and winery tasting menus

• Saint John’s East Coast twists on vegan fish and chips, chowders and “lobster” rolls

You’ll also find tips on festivals, vegan markets, zero-waste shops, hotel options and how Canada’s growing vegan population (around 5%, or 1.77 million people) is reshaping food culture.
