Since Donald Watson set up his quarterly news page, The Vegan News in 1944, the idea of consuming only plant-based food gained a steady following. But it’s only in the last decade, with a global concern regarding health and the environmental impact of industrial farming that veganism excelled.
And with celebrity support from early adopters like Alica Silverstone to current entertainers like Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande, today’s vogue is vegan.
Vegan in Cape Town
In recent times eateries like Plant, The Hungry Herbivore and vegan junk-food specialist, Lekker Vegan provided Cape Town vegans with some delicious fare. As demand grows it’s only a natural progression that other more refined Cape Town restaurants will adjust their offering accordingly. Case in point, La Mouette in Sea Point.
Every year Capetonians patiently await the winter downpour – now more than ever – and La Mouette‘s celebrated 5 courses winter menu. Rolling with the times, Chef Henry Vigar and team now offers a delightful winter menu for the more discerning vegan.
