2021 Vegan-friendly
Restaurants & Cafes in Mont'Kiara

Veganism is often misconstrued as an all-leaf and all-green diet, which is a popular misconception. We’re here to debunk the common myths about vegan food, and you might be in for a surprise. It’s not just all about salads, vegans can enjoy a yummy burger and a steak too, you know!  

Vegans VS Vegetarians 

So… What can vegans actually eat? And no, they don’t eat grass if that’s what you had in mind (Grass jelly is a definite yes though). Vegans only consume plant-based products as they don’t eat meat and animal products such as eggs and dairy. Vegetarians, on the other hand, don’t eat meat as well but they can enjoy eggs and dairy in their diet. 

Being vegan isn’t as easy in Malaysia as there aren’t many vegan options locally, but we’re here to help! In the spirit of World Vegan Day, we’ve listed some hotspots that you can try in Mont’Kiara: 

1. Fin

Don’t be fooled by its name – this restaurant doesn’t only serve seafood, but it also has an array of delectable vegan bites. They’ve got yummy vegan wraps, tacos, salads, and even smoothie bowls; vegan-friendly AND Instagram-friendly! Be sure to try their Almond Milk Matcha Latte and Kokomo Salad for some plant-based goodness.
