Here are some new additions to VRG’s guide:

Beaut Burger
267 S. Avenida Del Convento
Tucson, AZ 85745
Beaut Burger has a little kitchen inside a repurposed shipping container. This new Westside concept specializes in vegan burgers, making everything in-house, from the patty to the slow-fermented English muffin bun (Gluten free options available). The minimalist names on here – B1, B2, B3, etc. – bely the whimsical nature of the menu such as “burgers” with peanut butter and tamarind chutney or the herbaceous Middle Eastern condiment called zhoug, which goes on an otherwise normal combination of ranch, lettuce, tomato and cucumber. But then there are also the crowd pleasers; those classic American burgers with a plant-based twist. Outdoor seating available.

Blue Sage Vegan Bistro
River Market’s Ottenheimer Market Hall
400 President Clinton Ave.
Little Rock, AR 72201
If you are out and about in Little Rock, make a quick stop at Blue Sage Vegan Bistro for a delicious breakfast or a quick lunch. This establishment serves comfort food classics. If you are craving chick’n and waffles or specialty fries with vegan aioli or even just a refreshing smoothie, Blue Sage is the go-to.

Chili Mustard Onions
3411 Brush St.
Detroit, MI 48201
Chili Mustard Onions, the city’s first 100 percent vegan Coney Island restaurant, is open for business in Detroit’s Brush Park area. The small 30-seat shop offers meatless — and mostly organic — versions of many of the Coney standards. There are Coney dogs, chili cheese fries, a version of the Hani, a gyro, a “beetball” sub, a chicken parmesan sub, a “Big Mock,” nachos, potato skins, fries, waffle fries, soft serve ice cream, cheesecake, and more.

CombinAsian
2324 N. Miami Ave.
Miami, FL 33127
Casual restaurant serving Asian inspired vegan fast food and sweets. Some of the more popular offerings are the sushi burritos and teriyaki bowls with meatless proteins, rice, lettuce, and green peppers and kimbap pow bowls served with rice, cucumber, pickled yellow radishes, sesame kale, and soy sauce. They also offer a few American dishes as well, like vegan mac n’ cheese and chick’n tenders. They host events and are kid friendly with plenty of board games. They have a brightly colored interior design and a DJ booth. Outdoor seating available.

Dark Hall Coffee
3343 N. 7th Ave. #3
Phoenix, AZ 85013
It can be hard to find vegan pastries sometimes, but if you’re in Phoenix, you now have more options. Dark Hall Coffee is all-vegan, from the pastries to the house-made plant milks. Contrary to early reports, it’s not a Goth coffeehouse, though you may hear Bauhaus playing occasionally.

Juicy Beets
3900 Paradise Rd.
Las Vegas, NV 89169
Put Juicy Beets on the list of vegan restaurants you didn’t know you needed before. Not just a lunch and dinner spot, they stay open to 2am every night, with DJs playing house/techno music for the late night crowd. Whenever you’re there, try the Banh Mi, the Beyond Burger, or one of their specialty bowls. They also have a full bar, but if that’s not to your taste, they also offer cappuccinos, espresso, and an organic juice bar.

The Jazzy Vegetarian Vegan Café
Sanctuary Brewing Company
147 1st Ave. East
Hendersonville, NC 28792
Located inside the Sanctuary Brewing Company. Weekly menu is subject to change. Some favorites include pizza, burgers, wraps and salads for both lunch and dinner, and quesadillas, nachos, and chips for dinner. Check out the Taco Tuesday Pizza and the Hawaiian BBQ Burger. End your meal with the Pots de Crème chocolate pudding!

7502 Mentor Ave.
Mentor, OH 44060
Urban Soul Grill has everything that makes you feel good! Whether it’s greens, yams, vegan wings, vegan ribs, or vegan cobbler, comfort food is what they do. Bring your appetite and plenty of napkins!

Vegan GreenGo

An additional expansion of an attached deli and market will sell their house made aiolis as well as their favorite plant-based meats and cheeses.

According to a March 2016 study conducted by Novus for Djurens Rätt, the largest animal rights and welfare group in Sweden, when asked “Are you a vegetarian or vegan” 5% of individuals responded that they were vegetarian and 3% said they were vegan. However, the parameters of the terms ‘vegan’ and ‘vegetarian’ were not clearly defined so the study results could be skewed. Many vegetarians and vegans live in the capital city of Stockholm and Skåne, or the southernmost county of Sweden. Younger generations are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of animal agriculture and are changing their diet and lifestyle as a result. According to a poll run by Demoskop and commissioned by Djurens Rätt, Sweden’s largest animal welfare and rights organization, Swedish individuals in the 15-34 year old demographic most commonly associated themselves with vegetarianism or veganism. Among non-vegetarians, the poll further stated that there was an increase in interest of purchasing vegetarian products, going from 26 to 37 percent in a single year.

Having visited Sweden multiple times, I have always been thrilled to see the expansion of the vegan movement in such a historically animal product-based society. Veganism is becoming a sort of trend among Swedish youth, as information on the environmental and non-ethical aspects of animal products are becoming more widespread in Scandinavia. There are many popular Swedish bloggers who are changing outsiders’ perspective on plant-based food through their colorful, modern, and artful social media accounts.

Of the Swedish cities I have been to, such as Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, and Malmö, I have never had any problems eating vegan in my experience. Stockholm is a beautiful city encompassed by water due to its 14 inclusive islands. There are countless vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants and cafes throughout the city. Most cafes have plant-based milks available. Oatly is among one of my favorite plant-based milks and is becoming an increasingly popular non-dairy milk option in cafes. Oatly is a Swedish oat milk company that produces various vegan products such as milk, creamer, yogurt, fruit juices, and ice cream. Astrid och Aporna is another great Swedish brand that has its own line of products, as well as its own fully vegan grocery store in both Malmö and Copenhagen. Look out for these brands if you’re in Scandinavia!

By Julia Mathew, VRG Intern

Denmark is the largest single exporter of pork and has one of the highest rates of meat consumption in the world. About 28 million pigs are raised annually in the small Scandinavian country of five and a half million. Historically, Scandinavia has had a diet rich in meat and dairy products. However, the vegan movement has been growing across the region. In recent years, the organic health food industry has been booming in Denmark. The capital city of Copenhagen was named the European Green Capital in 2014 and aims to be carbon neutral by the year 2025. Although it was met with resistance from the Danish Agriculture and Food Council, Landbrug & Fødevarer, a meat tax to reduce climate effects was proposed by the Danish Council of Ethics, Det Etiske Råd. Environmental incentives, along with ethical concerns, have caused many Danes, especially within Copenhagen, to become interested in the vegan movement.

Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities in Europe and frequently eating out can easily add up. However, cheaper vegan-friendly options exist. Take advantage of street food, such as falafel, which can be found at stands or small shops throughout the city, especially in Nørrebro. Smileys Kebab is a small stand in front of the Amagerbro Metro Station that sells cheap falafel wraps, pita, and salad boxes from 25-35 Danish kroner. It is vegan except for the white, dairy-based dressing that often comes on it. Falafel-House is another good option in central Copenhagen that is fairly cheap as well. Some hotdogs stands, such as Den Økologiske Pølsemand (DØP) by the Round Tower in central Copenhagen, offer organic vegan sausage or pølse. The Swedish fast food chain MAX Hamburger also offers the spicy “Oumph! BBQ Burger,” which includes pulled soy protein and vegan mayonnaise for 52 Danish kroner. These are all great options for relatively fast and ‘cheap’ plant-based meals for Copenhagen standards. It is also important to note that most coffee shops in Copenhagen offer plant-based milks such as soy, almond, and oat milks. Many cafes and bakeries are also starting to label pastries as vegan and often offer raw vegan cakes.

In terms of grocery shopping, many Danish supermarkets offer vegan options. Most grocery stores carry some sort of plant-based milks such as soy, almond, rice, oat, and coconut milks. Netto, SuperBrugsen, Fakta, Lidl, Føtex, Meny, Irma, and Aldi are some common supermarkets in Denmark and generally all sell non-dairy milks. The most common brands of plant-based milks in Denmark are Alpro, Naturli’, Urtekram, and Oatly. Tofu, falafel, soy creamer, and vegetable margarine are often found at most grocery stores. Discount grocery store companies, such as Netto and Lidl, generally do not carry as diverse of vegan products as larger grocery stores like SuperBrugsen and Meny, which often sell Astrid och Aporna products. Some Rema1000 stores sell vegan ice cream by the brand Tofuline. Larger grocery stores such as Irma, SuperBrugsen, and Føtex often have vegan spreads, nut butters, tofu, ice cream, and vegan specialty products to some extent. Many ethnic shops sell cheaper produce, nuts, juices, and falafel in comparison to Danish supermarkets. The Danish Vegan Society is currently working with Danish grocery stores across the country to increase the number of vegan products offered. Many vegan specialty shops in Copenhagen import vegan products from countries like Germany and the UK.

Health is becoming an increasingly popular concern for Danes, and plant-based food is on the rise. The number of plant-based restaurants and vegan options available in Copenhagen has significantly risen in the past few years.
