Suggest a restaurant

If you know of a restaurant which has good vegan options but doesn't mark them on the menu or otherwise advertise them clearly, then you can help us by suggesting that they get in touch with us!

We're looking for restaurants which have several options that may well already be vegan, or which might be easily veganisable – perhaps they have a good vegetarian section, but it's unclear whether any of those dishes are vegan.

We're not looking for restaurants which have refused to cater to vegans, or which have very few potentially veganisable dishes.

Send our sample message (below) to the restaurant, or write your own message, explaining that they can contact us for free advice.

“From little acorns…”

We're currently just starting up this project, so we're restricting our activities to the city of Groningen in the Netherlands for the near future. Ultimately we'd like to write a guide to helping restaurants become vegan-friendly, which we can then provide to volunteers elsewhere, to create a network of veganisers!

So if you're vegan and would like to start making your town's restaurants more vegan-friendly, please do get in touch, and we'll work together.

Why we ask you to contact the restaurant

We've learned that restaurant owners are more likely to respond to personal messages from customers – especially if the message is posted on one of their social media accounts.

Get this text Copied to clipboard! Text selected, ready to copy Hi, I recently enjoyed a visit to your restaurant. Your staff were great at providing a vegan option for me, even though there was nothing marked on the menu! I really enjoyed my meal, and appreciated the service. It would be really great if your menu had vegan options clearly marked, and I know that lots of my friends are looking for vegan-marked options when eating out. I think you should contact the people at veganiseren.nl for assistance – they offer free help to restaurants who want to easily offer more vegan options, or even just clearly mark their vegan options on the menu. I look forward to seeing a vegan-labelled menu on a future visit! All the best
