Vegan Tips for Dining Out:

 

More and more restaurants are adding vegan options at the request of their customers. Use social media and the telephone to contact your favorite restaurants and ask them for more vegan options. Choosing vegan food is easier than ever and with some simple tips it is sure to be a breeze! Try Asian, Indian, Italian, Middle Eastern and other ethnic restaurants which will almost always have something to suit your needs. If you're out of town and are having a hard time locating a restaurant visit websites such as happycow or vegdining for markets and restaurants throughout the world. Here are some tips that may help you have an enjoyable dining experience:

 

*Do not be shy when ordering your food! Most restaurants can and will accommodate your requests and adjust dishes to accommodate your preferences.

 

*    Watch out because some restaurants will mislabel an item as vegan or vegetarian when it is not. Items may be made in fish, beef, or chicken broth and it is always good to confirm. Some examples of this may include: vegetable curry dishes that contain fish sauce, rice and beans that were cooked in animal products and salad dressings, sauces and pasta dishes that contain dairy and eggs.

 

*     Join Rhode Island Vegan Awareness on Facebook for weekly tips on local vegan dining and for daily vegan inspiration and recipes!
