Description
Discover the best vegan-friendly restaurants in your area with vanilla bean! Download now and stay fit and healthy wherever you are! Well-known from Huffington Post, Paul McCartney’s Meat Free Monday and PETA. Find unique health- and sustainability-related information about every venue. Is it vegan? Is it local, fair-trade and organic, or raw, lactose- and gluten-free? vanilla bean offers the widest selection of US 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧, and German 🇩🇪 locations for anyone who eats consciously but does not want to miss out on anything.
Whether you are in L.A., New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami or Washington D.C.—vanilla bean knows which places will make you happy: anything from gourmet venues to snack bars, from Chinese raw food temples in secret side alleys to this amazing Italian place where handmade gluten-free Bruschetta is soaked in olive oil.
If you are traveling in Austria 🇦🇹, Switzerland🇨🇭 or France 🇫🇷, vanilla bean has you covered, too. The guide includes cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Zurich, London, and Paris.
With self-explanatory indicators for each venue, you can immediately spot what each location has to offer. The chosen photos and detailed descriptions, including reviews from the community, will help you decide which place to visit. Information such as addresses, opening times, and telephone numbers are constantly reviewed.
FEATURES
★ NEW! Have you spotted a venue with plant-based options that is not yet in the app? You can suggest a new venue in less than 20 seconds. Thanks to automatic suggestions of places around you, sometimes you even don’t have to type a word. ★ Filter according to your criteria and to price categories. For example, let vanilla bean show you only completely plant-based venues with gluten-free options using organic ingredients. ★ Through the map, you can easily find all the green location highlights in your city. You can tell at first glance which places offer completely plant-based options, where one can find vegetarian options and where meat dishes are served. ★ Your opinion, your personal experience counts: add your personal review and photos of the venue or the menu. If you like, you can share your newly discovered places with others on Facebook. ★ Search for ZIP codes, places and specific locations, or discover venues with mouthwatering treats near you. ★ You can find a wide range of information about all the entries. Photos, in-depth descriptions, restaurant indicators, directions, and calls directly from the app. In addition, you can find links to the restaurant’s website and Facebook page. ★ All the information is regularly reviewed. Should you still find any obscurities, then please feel free to send us feedback directly via a restaurant’s app entry. We will make the adjustment as soon as possible.
vanilla bean is an app for vegans, vegetarians, and everybody who wants to reduce meat. Whatever your motivation—health, climate change, compassion for animals—switching to plant-based meals is a healthier, more sustainable way of living. And with vanilla bean, it’s also easy and delish.

Easy to use, lots of options. As a gluten-free vegan, it can be difficult to find restaurants that cater to both needs. I've discovered some great places through this app!
★★★★★Mark Saunders· Feb 12, 2018
Absolute lifesaver. When travelling for work being able to find a local place to eat vegan and also highlighting raw places (fiancé is raw vegan) is brilliant. Nice touch with the organic and locally sourced info.
★★★★★Clare Saunders· Feb 12, 2018
Vanilla Bean is an innovative, useful, & brilliant app, making it very easy & enjoyable locating vegan-friendly eateries in the US & Europe. There is always a clear example of the food offered, & Vanilla Bean goes a step further than other similar apps, as it also shows whether there are gluten-free choices, as well as other nice features such as whether locally sourced or organic produce is used. A highly recommended app for vegans, & also non-vegans hoping to try a delicious vegan meal near them.

very user-friendly.

It's a good idea, but this app is Sucks when it comes to recognizing U.S. city's &states, plus restaurants when u type them in. When u go to move the map to a cityscape tap th (Explore here). It expands away to a whole other 3-4 state area range. Away frm th spot u choose &tat u knw for a fact that the venue's was approved posted ones area of search choice, that this app ignored; & also when I type in a restaurant. This app still needs a lot of work!. I'm Deleting it after a month try !

Does not offer proper distance searches, e.g. when entering a location's name that itself has no entries. I use 'happy cow' most of the time and find myself just sometimes confirming results with vanilla bean.
★★☆☆☆Rebecca Brannon· Oct 16, 2018
First time using this, I soon knew it was not well-thought-out. When I tapped map, it showed the ENTIRE COUNTRY of Spain instead of a window reasonably nearby. After zooming in, it showed only the currently pinned location with no easy way to scroll through others (they should learn from the Airbnb or Happy Cow apps how this should be done). The list view didn't show distances -- who wants to tap each entry to find how far it is? The UI for filtering was a bit better than Happy Cow.
