In recent years, more and more urbanites have been paying attention to their health, especially during this period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people have reevaluated their health conditions, improved their past unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, and even started trying vegetarianism to reduce the burden of meat consumption on their bodies. Some may still find vegetarian food bland and lacking in satiety, which may deter them from going vegetarian. However, these misconceptions are completely wrong. Nowadays, there are plenty of vegetarian dishes to choose from that are just as tasty and visually appealing as non-vegetarian dishes. Below are 5 popular vegetarian cafes that offer a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes in a relaxed and comfortable dining environment. So, why not relax with friends or girlfriends at these cafes as the pandemic situation eases?
The most popular vegetarian café at the moment – Su Nian has a total of 3 branches, two of which are located in Sham Shui Po, and the other one is in Tsuen Wan. Featuring a variety of vegetarian flavors, there are delicate Japanese set meals as well as hearty “American burgers”. The burgers are made with “Impossible plant-based meat”, with a texture very similar to meat burgers, satisfying the desire of girls who want to eat burgers but are worried about the burden on their stomachs. In addition to the main dishes, Su Nian also offers homemade vegan raw cakes, which are not only fresh in taste but also very exquisite in appearance.
The pure white decoration of the 3 branches follows a simple and artistic route, and the menu of each branch is slightly different. Before visiting, everyone can take note of it.

Signature dishes include vegan durian cake, matcha waffles, Omnipork meatballs, and vegan cheese burritos, making for a diverse dining selection in a cozy setting.
