Choose dedicated vegan cafés or labelled dishes on a mixed menu, with current bowl and café prices. Soulgreen serves fish; Avatāra’s standard format is vegetarian.
For a fully vegan café meal, our starting choices are Wild & The Moon, Planet Terra and Soul Santé. For a mixed group, Soulgreen publishes clearly labelled vegan bowls alongside fish dishes. For a special occasion, Avatāra offers a vegetarian tasting-menu format, with a fully vegan preparation to arrange in advance. Choose the restaurant category before the dish: a vegetarian label, a vegan option and an entirely vegan operation describe different things.
This guide separates dedicated plant-based cafés from mixed-menu restaurants. That distinction matters when you want everyone to order vegan without making substitutions, or when a group has different preferences. Our picks use the current published menu and venue format. At a mixed-menu restaurant, choose the complete vegan preparation—including sauces and garnishes—rather than assume any vegetable dish qualifies. A venue can serve a useful vegan option without being a fully vegan kitchen.
Fine dining and special-occasion plant-based menus
For an occasion meal, establish the current vegan menu before reserving. A standard tasting menu, an adapted version and a January promotion can carry different dishes and booking requirements. Choose the one the kitchen can provide for your actual date.
Avatara, Dubai Hills Estate
Avatāra is listed among Dubai’s MICHELIN-starred restaurants for vegetarian Indian fine dining. Vegetarian does not automatically mean vegan: tell the restaurant about dairy, ghee and honey before booking. Its tasting menu and price change, so consult Avatāra for the current experience rather than relying on an old AED figure.
Mott 32, Address Beach Resort
Mott 32 at Address Beach Resort describes vegetarian and vegan adaptations among its plant-based alternatives, including minced “pork” and tofu Shanghainese soup dumplings and signature smoked “cod”. We would choose it when the table wants its Chinese menu and view-led setting. Establish which current preparations are vegan: the operator’s grouping includes vegetarian dishes too. Use the Dubai menu rather than assume every alternative in the international brand’s portfolio appears at this branch.
Punjab Grill, Anantara Downtown
Punjab Grill is at lobby level, Anantara Downtown Dubai in Business Bay. Its current menu distinguishes vegetarian dishes and those with a vegan option. We would choose it for a mixed-group Indian meal, with the vegan preparation agreed before ordering. The operator lists 11:30am–11:30pm daily and +971 50 194 1107. Older Veganuary menus were dated January promotions; their tofu dishes and dessert should not be treated as the permanent current order list.
Amazónico, DIFC
Amazónico’s current October menus list Ensalada Amazónica at AED 80, with avocado, mango, confit tomato and kalamansi, and Amazónico maki at AED 70, with mango, avocado, coconut and cacao nibs. They are marked vegetarian; the legend does not give a separate vegan certification. We would choose this mixed-menu restaurant when its Latin American and Japanese-influenced dishes fit the group, with the complete vegan order established first. The menu includes VAT and adds a 7% municipality fee.
99 Sushi Bar’s operator lists a Dubai Creek Harbour location at Address Creek Harbour Hotel, with October booking information. Establish the actual opening and current menu before planning a meal at that venue. Ling Ling is at Atlantis The Royal on Palm Jumeirah. Both belong in the mixed-menu enquiry category: a Japanese or Asian menu description alone does not establish the vegan dishes available for your date. Ask about the exact preparation before making either a vegan-specific reservation.
Casual and everyday vegan spots
For an everyday meal, compare a dedicated vegan café with a mixed-menu restaurant that clearly labels its vegan dishes. The choices below give you different neighbourhoods, menus and ordering formats. Pick the branch that fits the visit before comparing dishes or delivery prices.
Wild & The Moon, Alserkal Avenue
Wild & The Moon is our plant-based café choice for an Alserkal Avenue visit. Its published proposition covers juices, smoothies, bowls, snacks and desserts, with plant-based nut milks. We would choose a bowl or meal item when food is the plan, rather than assume a juice-only order is the same meal. Nuts and other ingredients still matter to an allergy enquiry; vegan does not mean suitable for every dietary requirement.
Planet Terra, The Greens & The Views
Planet Terra is in Panorama Building, The Greens. Its operator describes a vegan café with an organic menu, while Visit Dubai lists a pet-friendly terrace. It is our dedicated-vegan choice in this neighbourhood. Use the current breakfast or lunch-and-dinner menu for the visit; those services can offer different dishes. Choose the actual preparation and price rather than assume every item in an earlier roundup remains a permanent signature.
Soulgreen, Dubai Creek Harbour: vegan bowls on a mixed menu
Soulgreen at Vida Creek Harbour is a mixed-menu restaurant. Its current menu lists an Asian Bowl at AED 65 with tofu and vegan labelling, alongside an Asian Bowl with Tuna at AED 85. The Indian Bowl at AED 65 is also vegan-labelled; the cod alternative at AED 82 contains fish. We would choose the explicitly vegan bowls for a plant-based order and this venue for a mixed table. The whole restaurant should not be described as entirely vegan.
Soul Santé Café, Al Barsha South
Soul Santé describes a 100% vegan café at Vincitore Boulevard, Barsha South, with online food orders and meal plans. Its published menu lists Cauli Biryani at AED 44, Cauliflower Gratin at AED 40 and Beetroot Quinoa Salad at AED 44. We would choose it when a dedicated vegan menu or a planned sequence of meals is the priority. The meal-plan duration and inclusions are separate products from one café order. Contact: +971 50 783 7685.
Garden on 8, Media One Hotel
Garden on 8 is the sports bar on Media One Hotel’s eighth floor; the hotel identifies Coco Lounge as its pool venue. Garden on 8’s published menu lists Vegan Curry at AED 78 with basmati rice and papadum, and Garden Veggies at AED 30. It is our pub-format option for a mixed group. The menu includes service charge, municipality fees and VAT. Choose the vegan-labelled order; vegetarian flatbreads with cheese are a different option.
SEVA Table is at Villa 5, Street 27B, Jumeirah 1, near Jumeirah Beach Road. Its official contact page lists daily service from 8am to 10pm. Check current menu options and ingredients before visiting.
Veganuary-specific promotions
Veganuary is a January campaign. Choose a promotion only when the restaurant has published the dates, menu and price for the relevant year. A past January menu is useful history, but cannot establish a January 2027 offer. The year-round choices in this guide can still form an ordinary meal plan in October; use their current service menus for that visit.
A few practical notes
For a vegan order, specify that the complete dish must exclude meat, fish, dairy, eggs and honey. Ask about ghee, broths, sauces and finishing ingredients where relevant. Vegan ordering and allergy accommodation are separate requirements, so communicate both when necessary. For delivery, inspect the actual dish description and checkout rather than rely only on a restaurant-category filter. The café’s menu and a delivery platform can also have different portions, prices and available dishes.
FAQs
What is Veganuary, and does it actually apply to Dubai?
Veganuary encourages people to try vegan eating during January. In Dubai, a restaurant can publish a time-limited January menu or serve vegan choices year-round. Use the current announcement for a campaign offer, and the ordinary menu for an October meal. There is no confirmed upcoming promotion assumed in this guide.
Are there fully vegan restaurants in Dubai, or is it mostly modified menus?
Both exist. Wild & The Moon, Planet Terra and Soul Santé describe dedicated vegan formats. Soulgreen also serves fish, while Avatāra is vegetarian and requires a specific vegan-menu arrangement. Mixed-menu restaurants such as Mott 32, Punjab Grill and Amazónico require checking the actual current vegan preparation.
Is vegan dining expensive in Dubai?
Prices vary widely between casual cafés and tasting-menu restaurants. Check the current menu and any service charges before booking; older tasting-menu prices can be misleading.
Should I book ahead or call to confirm a vegan menu is available?
Arrange a vegan tasting-menu preparation before booking, and establish the offer dates for a promotion. For a café, use the current menu and actual branch. Tell the venue separately about any allergies and ask how the complete preparation is made. That is more useful than assuming a vegetarian or vegetable-led label covers everything.
What if I can’t get a table anywhere on this list?
Compare available delivery or collection from the chosen café and the platforms serving your address. Soul Santé provides online orders, while delivery availability elsewhere depends on the venue and route. Use the actual dish and current basket total. A vegan-friendly listing is not a guarantee that every dish is vegan or every restaurant delivers directly.
Our simplest recommendation is to start with a dedicated vegan café when the whole table wants plant-based food, and a labelled mixed menu when preferences differ. For an occasion, arrange the vegan preparation before paying for the reservation. Choose the service and dishes you want and check ingredients and preparation for the actual dietary requirements of the table.
Two current menu comparisons
Two Soulgreen vegan-labelled bowls at AED 65 total AED 130 before other applicable extras. At Soul Santé, Cauli Biryani at AED 44 and Beetroot Quinoa Salad at AED 44 total AED 88 before drinks, delivery or other applicable extras. These are different dishes and formats, not equal portions. At Garden on 8, one Vegan Curry at AED 78 and Garden Veggies at AED 30 total AED 108, with the listed taxes and charges included. Choose by appetite, location and the meal you want; the lowest subtotal alone does not decide the best visit.
