Rating of the best vegetarian establishments in Rostov-on-Don in 2024

A healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, refusal from meat and alcohol - more and more people in the modern world come to this kind of philosophy. However, these kinds of dietary restrictions are not always a conscious choice of a person, but may be associated with health problems - for example, lactose (dairy) or gluten intolerance, egg allergy, and much more. At the same time, regardless of the reasons, having changed the type of food, a person does not want to limit himself in his usual things, such as gatherings in a cafe with friends, lunches at business lunches and much more. Fortunately, today many restaurants and cafes have begun to add so-called “healthy foods” to their menus, but behind the beautiful signboard “Gluten-free or vegan” cafes you can often see the usual menus with dishes added with eggs and wheat.

So what should you pay attention to when choosing a vegetarian restaurant Rotov-na-Donu so that your visit will bring only pleasant emotions?

Criteria for choosing an institution

If you do not go deep into the intricacies, then among the main groups of people with dietary restrictions, the following can be distinguished:

1. Vegetarians - this group of people in their diet avoid meat, fish, seafood, but at the same time they eat dairy products, eggs;
2. Vegans - refuse to eat meat, fish, seafood, as well as eggs and dairy products;
3. Raw foodists - eat only thermally unprocessed food (most often their diet includes nuts, fruits, vegetables, legumes and cereals);
4. People who do not consume certain foods - sugar (sugar free), lactose (one of the components of milk), gluten (a complex protein found in wheat and most cereals).

At the same time, in addition to food preferences, when choosing a cafe or restaurant, you should pay attention to the following additional services that will help make your stay more comfortable:

• The presence of a children's room or animator. When visiting catering establishments with children, it is desirable that there is a place where the children can be left to play.
• Parking is available. Unfortunately, today parking is one of the main criteria for choosing a cafe or restaurant, because few people want to circle a building for 20 minutes in order to find a parking space.
• Business lunch on the menu. A person who dines every day in any institution will often prefer a cafe with a business lunch rather than without it.
• Additional options (Wi-Fi, takeaway).

We will compile a rating of establishments (cafes, bars, restaurants) that are suitable for different groups of people with dietary restrictions, of various price orientations, ranging from budget ones to more expensive ones.
