About this app

Discover the best vegan-friendly restaurants in your area with vanilla bean! Download now and stay fit and healthy wherever you are! Well-known from Huffington Post, Paul McCartney’s Meat Free Monday and PETA. Find unique health- and sustainability-related information about every venue. Is it vegan? Is it local, fair-trade and organic, or raw, lactose- and gluten-free? vanilla bean offers the widest selection of US 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧, and German 🇩🇪 locations for anyone who eats consciously but does not want to miss out on anything.

Whether you are in L.A., New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami or Washington D.C.—vanilla bean knows which places will make you happy: anything from gourmet venues to snack bars, from Chinese raw food temples in secret side alleys to this amazing Italian place where handmade gluten-free Bruschetta is soaked in olive oil.

If you are traveling in Austria 🇦🇹, Switzerland🇨🇭 or France 🇫🇷, vanilla bean has you covered, too. The guide includes cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Zurich, London, and Paris.

With self-explanatory indicators for each venue, you can immediately spot what each location has to offer. The chosen photos and detailed descriptions, including reviews from the community, will help you decide which place to visit. Information such as addresses, opening times, and telephone numbers are constantly reviewed.

Ratings and reviews

First time using this, I soon knew it was not well thought out. When I tapped map, it showed the ENTIRE COUNTRY of Spain instead of a window reasonably nearby. After zooming in, it showed only the currently pinned location with no easy way to scroll through others (they should learn from the Airbnb or HappyCow apps how this should be done). The list view didn't show distances -- who wants to tap each entry to find how far it is? The UI for filtering was a bit better than HappyCow.

wonderful app for finding vegan places when I'm traveling, or even new places close to home that I didn't realize had vegan options. Some places maybe need to be updated but overall I found this app to be essential in any city that I'm not too familiar with. I recommend this app to others who travel.

I'm currently in Switzerland and there is no filter for locations, e.g. if I'm looking for a restaurant in Zurich, places in Aarau show up which is useless. I expect to be shown options for where I am, not based on distance or whatever this is based on. Also it would be helpful if I could filter by cuisine. Unfortunately: good idea, poor execution. Better luck next time
