Methodology

The Global Vegan Restaurant Index ranks cities worldwide by how easy it is to find plant-based food, using data from the VeganBites database of 8,678 venues.

Data Sources

All data comes from the VeganBites database, which catalogs vegan restaurants, vegetarian restaurants with vegan options, vegan-friendly coffee shops, and plant-based grocery stores across 43 countries.

Scoring Methodology

Each city receives a composite score from 0 to 100 based on two factors:

The formula: Score = (venues / max_venues × 70) + (cuisines / max_cuisines × 30)

Why These Metrics

Venue count measures the quantity of options — more venues mean more choices for plant-based diners. Cuisine diversity measures variety — a city with 50 venues across 20 cuisine types offers a more varied dining experience than one with 50 venues all serving the same cuisine.

Limitations

Updates

This index is regenerated from live database data on every page load. As new venues are added to VeganBites, the rankings automatically update.
