Are you planning a trip to Barbados and want to know where you can find vegan alternatives? Then go no further than this list of the best eateries on the island offering vegan options, as well as supermarkets selling vegan products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricesmart and Cost-U-less are two\nsupermarket options, both of which need membership for specific purchases. They\nare located in Warren’s area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, our supermarkets have added a\nbroad array of vegan\/vegetarian alternatives to their shelves, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan cheeses, vegan nuggets, tofu,\nalmond, oat, and soy milk, and much more are available. There are other\nvegan\/vegetarian items; simply ask the staff if they’re not quickly found on\nthe shelf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s just assume you’ll be able to buy\nanything in the supermarkets to prepare a fast home-cooked lunch. But if you\nwant to eat out, following are some options. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh coconut water from street sellers\non the side of roads is a must-try, especially on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sheraton Mall there are two\nplant-based smoothie and juice caf\u00e9s. Market Fresh offers a variety of\nvegetarian\/vegan wraps, burritos, salad bowls, and more. Only smoothies,\nprotein shakes, and wellness shots are available at Julia’s Nutrition Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chefette, a local fast-food restaurant\nwith multiple locations all around the island, just introduced a soy-based\nveggie burger with pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce (which is my favorite), as\nwell as an all-potatoes Indian inspired dish and lentil roti to the menu. This\nplace is a lifesaver if you need a quick yet veg-friendly dinner late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burger King and Chicken Barn, two more\nfast-food chains, both provide a limited vegan\/vegetarian menu. Garden salad,\nBurger King’s vegetarian burger, and Chicken Barn’s Beyond Burger Special are\namong the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chutney\u2019s roti and curry cuisine is a\ngenuine combination of Caribbean and Indian cuisine that generates meals with a\nburst of flavors, herbs, and spices that appeal to a wide range of palates.\nTheir menu includes curries, side dishes like fries and fried plantains, and\ncustomizable roti. Dhal Puri skin with curry potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentils,\nand channa is my go-to construct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small business spots include a corner\nshop behind Cave Shepherd which serves customizable roti. I usually choose the\nchickpea, channa, and potato filling. Roadside vendors offer Doubles which are\na flat fried dough filled with curry channa and different chutneys that\noriginated in Trinidad and Tobago. Doubles are a must-have! Another type of\npastry known as a gran burger patty is made with burger chunks that can also be\nused to produce a lasagna filling. However, it may be used for a variety of\ndifferent dishes. Be creative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba’s sports bar menu in Worthing\nChrist Church consist of a vegetarian burger cooked with vegetables served with\nfries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veggie selections at Bert’s Bar\n& Restaurant in Rockley Christ Church are limited, but you can always count\non a veggie burger and a huge house salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandal’s Resort in Christ Church, St\nLawrence Gap, is a 5-star hotel that recently has been testing and adding\nvegan\/vegetarian options (menus are presently evolving):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
