13 Vegan Filipino Restaurants and Food Options in the US
Filipino food may not be the most vegan-friendly cuisine, but the vegan Filipino community continues to grow in the Philippines and across the Filipino diaspora.
Thankfully, there’s vegan Filipinos helping pave the way and offering Filipino food for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, and plant-based folks without the food losing its essence.
Below are 13 vegan Filipino restaurants and vegan Filipino food options in several states across the United States, including California, Washington, and Florida.
