Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Check out the vegan staple of Los Angeles: Real Food Daily. There is one next to the Beverly Center and one in Santa Monica close to the Promenade. It is all vegan and mostly organic.
2. Try Swingers if you are craving vegan diner food. The menu is specifically labeled to point out each and every vegan option. Vegan breakfast foods and desserts are on the menu.
3. Call any restaurant and ask about their vegan options ahead of time. Any restaurant can be a vegan one if you plan out what items are suitable for you. It's important to call first to make the staff aware of your requirements with as much notice as possible.
4. Drive around Los Angeles. New vegan restaurants are popping up all the time and if a restaurant is vegan, it will often advertise this fact.
5. Talk to other vegans. If you volunteer at an animal rights organization, ask the vegetarians in your group where they like to eat. You are sure to discover some tested favorites this way and the restaurants may be in places you never imagined visiting.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't assume that an all-vegetable soup is vegetarian in a normal restaurant. If the restaurant isn't labeled as specifically vegan, many restaurants use a chicken-based stock for all their soups.
