Vegan in Valencia. Our guide to Vegan Food in Valencia, street pick ups, elite clubs, french inspired and more.

As a country known for bull-fighting and Jamon-eating, from an outside perspective Spain may hold a decently anti-vegan air to it.  After all, it has been scored as the country that eats the most meat in the EU on multiple occasions.  Despite these not-so-plant-based customs, Valencia is planting the seeds of many vegan restaurants and communities.  So veggie readers everywhere, we’re telling you that nowhere is better than this Mediterranean city for vegan food. People’s diets seem to be shifting from meat-dominant to plant-based (whether that be vegan double cheese burgers or salads, you choose!), and we are happy to present you with this unmissable top vegan restaurants in Valencia list; we promise you’ll be able to referance many of them when you recount your favorite restaurants in Valencia.

Aloha has healthy range of all-vegan items, including burgers, wraps, nuggets, Acai Bowls, desserts, and fries. To drink down your meal, they can even whip you up a fresh & healthy smoothy (the Shaka Coco tastes similar to a chocolate milkshake!)  We highly recommend this joint either if you are looking for something quick and yummy to go, or wanting to have a quality vegan meal.
