We just published the definitive ranking of the Top 50 Vegan Restaurants in the World for 2026.
After analyzing over 25,000 vegan restaurants across 42 countries, we scored every listing on data quality, verified insights, cuisine diversity, and neighborhood context to produce a transparent, data-driven ranking.
Why We Built This
Every year, publications like Yelp and HappyCow release "best of" lists. Most are editorially curated with opaque criteria. We wanted something different: a ranking based on transparent, measurable data that any restaurant can improve by completing their listing.

How the Rankings Work
Our algorithm scores restaurants on:
- Verified insights — Has the listing been editorially verified?
- Rich descriptions — Does the listing tell a compelling story?
- Customer favorites — Are the restaurant's best dishes documented?
- Founder story — Is there depth behind the brand?
- Community reviews — Has the restaurant earned real feedback?
No restaurant can pay to appear on these lists. Rankings are earned through listing quality.
