One of Mexico City’s oldest vegetarian restaurants, Yug
Vegetariano first opened in 1963. Today its meat-free Mexican fare
remains as delicious as ever – head here for breakfast dishes piled
high with tortillas, eggs, soy-based sausages and homemade
bread.

On the corner of Manzanillo and Chiapas, this streetside stand
sells vegan fare bursting with flavour. Gorge on tacos packed with
jackfruit, cauliflower and other meat-free fillings, and finish
with a scoop of Oaxacan ice cream.

Offering a 100 per cent vegan menu, Forever Vegan guarantees
locally sourced, cruelty-free dishes that don’t skimp on flavour.
Try the Al Pastor taco for tortillas filled with mushrooms, onions,
pineapple and coriander, or the Baja cauliflower for tempura
cauliflower topped with avocado, chipotle mayonnaise and pico de
gallo.

Head to this café for a hearty vegetarian brunch featuring
crispy homemade falafel and sandwiches packed with grilled
vegetables – the perfect fuel for exploring Mexico City. Pair with
a cup of coffee with your choice of dairy-free milk.

Nestled among a verdant green garden, El Jardín Interior is the
place to feast on everything from enchiladas and empanadas to
chilaquiles and chili rellenos (stuffed peppers). Work off your
meal with a gentle stroll through the restaurant’s gardens and a
browse in the health shop.

This vegan taqueria is a haven for snap-happy Instagrammers.
Picture-perfect almond-milk ice cream and breakfast bowls of
chopped fruit and grains perch on tabletops throughout the day –
but come at lunch to try the bright-pink tortillas drizzled with
cashew cream.

This vegetarian restaurant isn’t hard to spot – bright
orange-and-turquoise exteriors demand attention, while the gently
wafting aroma of freshly cooked food follows shortly after. Dine on
veggie lasagna, chilaquiles or scrambled eggs with homemade bread,
all made with organic, locally sourced ingredients.
