Rome is Vegan Friendly
Being vegan in a world that is predominantly carnivorous can be a challenge, especially when you go on a trip. Finding a good restaurant that serves good food is a challenge in itself, and not many places can claim to bother about vegan food choices.
However, Rome is not going to disappoint you, the number of vegans here is also on the rise and thereby many restaurants are opening up solely for the vegans and even big restaurants are tweaking menus to entertain vegans.
So, once you’ve finished visiting the Vatican with Maximus Tours, you can check out the vegan restaurants Rome is proud of.
Tips: One little tip here for you before we begin, many authentic Italian side dishes are vegetable and plant-based which is why you can also opt for regular restaurants. However it is best to tell the waiting staff once you sit down that you are a vegan (‘sono vegano’ in Italian) so that everyone is well informed.
