As world populations rise and people are becoming more educated about what they put in their bodies vegan and vegetarians are becoming more commonplace. Cape Town is arguably that most internationally inspired South African city and with that has come to an influx of great places in which to enjoy tasty vegetarian and vegan fare. Here are five deliciously healthy vegan and vegetarian restaurants in and around Cape Town. Even if you aren’t a vegan why not try something healthy and different.

Getting around

What’s nice about Cape Town’s public transport is well connected, however, if you wish to do some more extensive travelling to different areas it might be a good option to hire a car. This can be achieved easily and efficiently as car hire in Cape Town will make your trip that much more enjoyable.

Plant, 8 Buiten Street

 

Today Plant is one of the most favourable vegan eateries in the city however like most great things it came from humble beginnings in nearby Bo-Kaap.

This is the place for you. For more information and their extensive menu visit their website.
