Vegan foods are going like hot cakes in Abu Dhabi right now.
Dairy-free hot cakes, of course, but cakes nonetheless.
More and more venues are offering vegan-friendly dishes and we think that’s great because everyone should be able to enjoy a great meal when out and about in the city.
There’s a vegan afternoon tea, vegan pizza, vegan burgers, a vegan delivery service and the list grows larger by the week.
Another place for those following a plant-based diet to feast is Wild and the Moon, which has opened its first branch in the capital.
The restaurant, which already has an outlet in Dubai, has opened up inside the Cultural Foundation at Qasr Al Hosn.
So what can you expect when you visit?
There are more dairy-free, gluten-free and plant-based goodies than we could possibly list but there’s plenty to be excited about.
Breakfast includes the likes of chia pudding, granola bowl, moon porridge and matcha bowls.
Going for lunch? Take you pick from dishes like focaccia of the day, daily soups and more.
If it’s a snack you’re after then the wild bars, kale crisps, banana cake, date cookies and more that could hit the spot.
Plus there are loads of fresh cold pressed juices, hot drinks and coffee, smoothies, vitality shots, nut milks and more to keep you hydrated and energised.
While visiting you can also check out the Cultural Foundation, which has recently opened a new theatre and a dedicated children’s library.
Let’s not forget about Qasr Al Hosn itself, which is great place to explore Abu Dhabi’s past.
Open Sat-Thu 9am-8pm; Fri 10am-10pm. The Cultural Foundation, Qasr Al Hosn, between Zayed the First Street and Hamdan Street www.wildandthemoon.ae
