I’ve lived in Las Vegas for almost two decades, and began my journey to discover the best vegan food spots in town in 2016.

When I moved to Las Vegas almost 20 years ago, plant-based eateries were few and far between, but in the last few years and especially since 2016, vegan dining in the city has taken off with an influx of new restaurants and chefs.
I went vegan in 2016 and thought it would be difficult to enjoy dining out, so I set out to discover and share all of the food I was eating around the Valley to help others see they could go vegan and still eat out and enjoy great food.
Since then, I’ve spent the last six years exploring vegan cuisine around town and blogging about it, promoting Las Vegas as a vegan destination. In that time, I’ve started an annual Vegan Dining Month held every January, curated Las Vegas-focused dinners at the James Beard House in New York, and run what was named one of the top nine vegan food tours in the world. It’s been my mission to discover the best vegan eats and show people that vegan food isn’t boring — in fact, it can be downright amazing.
From only five fully vegan restaurants in 2015 to more than 20 now, and dozens more eateries with worthy vegan options, the city has become a hotbed for plant-based cuisine. It’s been ranked consistently as one of the most vegan and vegetarian friendly cities in the US. So if you’re looking for something delicious in Las Vegas, here are my top 10 recommendations for the best vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in town.
