If you’re already immersed into the ‘vegan scene’ in Buffalo, you are most likely able to find a vegan dish within 10 miles of wherever you are. With that being said, not all vegan food is created equal which is why we compiled our top 10 vegan eats of WNY that you must try… whether you’re vegan or not!

If you’re new to the word, vegan, it simply means food made without meat or dairy. And no… it’s not just salad! To your surprise, not a single salad has made the list.

We are not certified food critics by any means but we have traveled the United States and can proudly say that we truly ate our way through vegan America. These dishes are not listed in any order, just our current top ten personal fave’s that you are missing out on!
