Similar to the vegetarian diet, veganism is the practice of not consuming animal products. The difference between being a vegetarian and a vegan is that the latter also does not consume animal byproducts like milk, eggs, and more. That being said, it is not often that vegans go out to eat because there’s not a lot of vegan places to accommodate the specific diet. Most of the time you will find them cooking up tantalising meals right at home. However, there are a few gems in the dining industry that serves up delightful vegan dishes. Here at Glitz, we hunt down the best vegan places in KL that guarantees to satisfy your inner vegan goddess and possibly convert a few meat-eaters too!
The Best Vegan Places In KL
Contents
1. The Hungry Tapir
Located in Chinatown, The Hungry Tapir is one of the most popular vegan places in KL. If you thought vegan food was just cold salads and tempeh, think again. This is because their tasty and unique creations will surely change your mind. Try the mushroom satay that’s thick and juicy, marinated to perfection, and bites just like meat. You can also opt to try the beetroot burger with sweet potato fries, where the patty has been balanced out perfectly that you don’t taste a single hint of earthiness.

2. Sala
Being a Tex-Mex inspired restaurant, Sala serves up some of the most palatable Mexican dishes ever. Take your pick from tacos, burritos, and more. But don’t forget to pair it with one of their refreshing smoothies or bottled Mexican soda. If you’re wondering what you should try at Sala, we recommend the bagel burger with mushroom, sour cream, and roasted tomato chipotle salsa. It’s the perfect marriage of smoky flavourful mushroom asada and soft chewy bagel.

3. Superfine
Though Superfine isn’t exactly a full-fledged vegan restaurant, they offer an extensive range of vegetarian and vegan options. The vegan dishes are marked in the menu and feature mushroom ragout pasta, kale and mushroom sandwich, and so much more. However, we recommend trying the roasted cauliflower with salsa verde. We bet you’ve never had cauliflower that’s so extremely flavourful and beautifully paired with bits of pomegranate. It’s a medley of savoury with a hint of sweetness.

4. Kind Kones
When it comes to veganism, being able to eat ice cream is almost non-existent. This is because well, ice cream is made from milk, which is a byproduct of cows. Thus, vegans typically lean towards sorbets or fruit smoothies on a hot sunny day. However, with Kind Kones, vegans can enjoy decadent scoops of ice cream every day. Plus, their ice creams also come in so many inclusive options like nut-free, gluten-free, and soy-free too. The ice cream bases are made from coconut milk, with some flavours including oat milk and cashew milk as well.

There are also vegan burgers, pasta, asian delights, and so much more. To make things better, they also serve vegan desserts.

7. SUPE Vegan
Aside from ice creams, we believe that the second most difficult cuisine for vegans is the Japanese cuisine. This is because Japanese cuisine features a lot of fish and of course, wagyu. But lucky for us vegans, SUPE Vegan specialises in some of the most toothsome Japanese dishes we have ever seen. Using only the freshest and healthiest ingredients, you can find vegan sushi, noodles, fried goodies and rice bowls. Even just by looking at the pictures, we can’t help but crave for them already. Truly, it is one of the best vegan places in KL.
