by Alix Coe | November 13, 2019

Miami has been crowned the vegan capital of the US following a study into the most plant-based friendly places to go.

This trendy city has a lot to offer locals and tourists when it comes to vegan cuisine, with as many as one in four restaurants in Miami boasting meat and dairy-free options on the menu.

Miami, also known as The Magic City, is most commonly known for its vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches. It has increasingly become a draw for foodie tourists due to the exciting variety of plant-based dining options.

“It’s not a surprise that Miami, considering how eclectic and open-minded the community is, has become the most vegan-friendly city” said Benjamin Goldman, a chef at Planta South Beach.

“Chefs who have not always cooked vegan, like myself, are using their approaches from nonvegan restaurants to re-create really good food out of plants.”

Travel company Hayes and Jarvis conducted the study into the most vegan-friendly cities in the US. The tailor-made holiday specialist checked out the plant-based options in the five biggest cities of all 50 states.

Coming in just after Miami on the list is Charleston in South Carolina, with Scottsdale in Arizona following behind in third.

Also on the list is Savannah, New York City, Washington DC, Orlando, New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City.
