Discover 10 new vegan restaurants in SP to spend one or more days without meat

If until a few years ago they were a restricted circuit, with few options in São Paulo, vegan restaurants are multiplying in the capital of São Paulo since the Covid-19 pandemic.

The options abuse adaptations without products of animal origin, with pastries, hamburgers, barbecue — with vegetables or vegetable protein — and even vegan Northeastern food.

Check out ten new vegan places that have opened in São Paulo in recent years, where you can try an adapted São Paulo-style virado, pizza without cheese, pasta or a good pê-efe.

The Vegan Owl

Opened in March last year, the restaurant specializes in meatless barbecue. The carvery costs R$130 per person and has options such as “vegetable chicken” and “bean kafta” skewers. Other dish options, such as the virado à paulista or baião de dois, are adapted with seitan (a vegetable protein) and tofu and served à la carte.

Peace Burger

The colorful and instagrammable burgers are the hallmark of the place. The physical unit was opened two years ago and its menu has everything made with vegetables. Those who pass by can still order fries with “cheddar” and “bacon”, without cheese and meat, of course.
