How to order vegan dishes well
- Ask whether stocks, sauces and curry pastes are plant-based — fish sauce and butter hide in many 'vegetable' dishes.
- Cuisines with naturally vegan staples (Vietnamese, Moroccan, Levantine, Indian) usually beat a western menu's single vegan option.
- Tell the server you're vegan, not just vegetarian — it changes how the kitchen handles dairy and eggs.
