Where to Eat Vegan Food in Hong Kong | Hong Kong Vegan Food Tour 2026

Here is all of the delicious vegan food I ate in the incredible country of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an incredible place to travel to with a world-class food scene and some very distinct dishes that you need to try these vegan versions of. But let's get started out with visiting Mother Pearl. Mother Pearl is a cafe with multiple locations across Hong Kong and when we visited we tried some delicious milk tea that is non-dairy of course and they have nice vegan treats tea as well which are these like soft mochi cookies. We tried some that were really incredible such as the matcha sea salt mochi cookie and the earl grey mochi cookie. They were soft and sweet but not too sweet and a great little treat to have in the morning especially with soup. Kindness Gather vegetarian restaurant has many vegan options as well and we tried the delicious satay beef bowl which was very rich and hearty and salty and flavorful. Very delicious. We also tried the Sichuan style dan dan noodles which is kind of like what influenced a lot of different ramen from Japan and it's really creamy and rich. I think they use like peanut butter or sesame for the flavor so it's delicious and we also tried some roti with the beef bowl which was a nice little flatbread for the sauce and the rice. Really delicious. Just make sure you don't miss this place because it is a few floors above everything. Three Virtues vegetarian restaurant is a great choice for classic Cantonese dim sum and it is located more closer towards like the Temple Street market. It's all vegetarian with many vegan options as well. It will tell you about the allergens and you fill out this little paper checking like the boxes of what you want or writing how many. Very classic way to order food here in Hong Kong. We tried a lot of things here including the assorted gluten and bean curd platter. It was pretty nice. It was a tasty little assortment where we got to try lots of the different kind of like faux meats which is very popular at these vegetarian sort of restaurants. We also wanted to try some dishes that we're not quite used to but the restaurant recommends so we tried the vegetarian chicken with vermicelli sheet and sesame dressing. There's a little bit of a colder noodle dish as well which is definitely not what we're used to. Fun to try but honestly not our favorite. We also tried the pan-fried seaweed cakes which are just pretty much like a big savory pancake. Incredibly delicious. Really good. I would highly recommend this dish here. L.N. Fortunate Coffee is an amazing all-vegan cafe and restaurant located on Hong Kong Island. It's a great place to start the day with some coffees, some lattes, cappuccinos, that sort of thing and you could try some iconic Hong Kong dishes including the Hong Kong style french toast which blew my mind. I love french toast. I think I like this version even more than normal french toast because it's like a crispy bread with maple syrup on top and inside of the bread is going to be either like butter or peanut butter in this case which was freaking amazing. I love peanut butter and the combo was great. It was like salty and sweet and the textures are just amazing. I think this is a really awesome dish that I wasn't expecting to find a vegan version of in Hong Kong so you have to try this. They also have your classic dishes and side dishes such as hash browns which who doesn't love hash browns and we wanted to try something a little bit more Asian so we tried a bubble waffle as well which is really pretty. It's something that comes to my mind when I think of Hong Kong. It wasn't amazing. I think the Hong Kong french toast was a lot better but it was still fun to try this iconic food here at L.N. Fortunate Coffee. Also on Hong Kong Island we went to Lakcha which is a tea house located in Hong Kong Park which is a cool place you should check out anyway. It's a beautiful traditional quiet tea house and they have a wide variety of teas for you to try. The prices here will be a little bit more expensive but it's a really fun experience. They also offer dim sum which we tried here. It's all vegetarian and many of them are vegan such as the xiao long bao which are like soup dumplings. I've never tried a vegan version of these before. It was really fun to try and they are incredibly delicious although I wish there were more. We also tried shumai which is like a Cantonese style dumpling. There are so many different kinds of dumplings to try in China or China adjacent regions and these were nice. They have a little bit more of like a soft texture but again I wish there were more of them. And we also tried a taro cake which sounded interesting. It was okay. It was fine. I wouldn't highly recommend it but it was nice to add this to the assortment of the teas and really delicious savory dim sum we tried. Further away on Lantau Island we also tried the Po Lin Monastery Restaurant. This is located in Yongping Village which is a famous tourist area because you have the massive Tian Tan Buddha with all the steps you have to climb to reach it. It's a really cool thing to do. You might want to eat after doing this or before doing this and this monastery restaurant is all vegan or vegetarian because it's a monk food so that's a nice thing to keep in mind. It is a little bit expensive. You have to get meal tickets. They're about $20 a person and it's for a set meal that you don't really have a lot of control over. I think the menu can change or vary from day to day but for us we had a wide selection including fried spring rolls, soup of the day, asparagus, but I think it looks more like green bean with mushrooms and cashews or sort of vegetables, black mushrooms, deep fried bean curd with lemon sauce and steamed rice. To me I hate to say it but this was not very good. It was probably my least favorite meal I had in Hong Kong. I was excited to try some authentic food especially at a monastery that maybe the Buddhist monks would eat but it was very oily. It was very bland. It wasn't very flavorful to the point that I would say it was pretty bad. I'm someone that loves to eat and I can easily like finish food. I'm the person that always gets like seconds and thirds if I like something. It's no problem for me and I had a really hard time eating this food to completion. I was not able to finish our dishes sadly so what I would recommend you do is check out the deli vegetarian cafe I believe it's called and you can choose your own selections from the counter of things that look better or you can get like less things to all together and spend less money and I think the food here from what I can see at looks more appetizing than the one at the monastery restaurant. And finally what was probably my favorite meal I had in Hong Kong was at Gaia Veggie Shop. This also has several locations throughout Hong Kong and it is a vegetarian dim sum restaurant with many of these options being vegan of course. They have some incredibly delicious like fake vegan meats from what I've read online. It's like the closest you can get to like replacing the like true most authentic versions of these dishes from people that eat here and what we had that was really freaking good included a few things such as suckling pig with thin bao wraps. These were incredible. It's like a nice barbecue flavor with these tiny like little bao pancakes where you can wrap them up and dip them in sauces and stuff. Delicious. I loved eating these. We also tried the barbecue pork. Of course this is all vegan not actual meat and it was incredibly delicious. Great texture and great flavor. We also tried pecking duck with spring pancakes and these were amazing. So tender, so delicious, so fun again to put them in these little like bao pancakes with maybe some like celery or some different veggies. Incredible combination of textures and flavors here. Amazing. And we tried the rib in three styles which we really didn't like very much to be honest. The texture wasn't as good and they're a little bit more like candied or sweet which compared to these other delicious barbecue dishes we really weren't a huge fan of. And if you eat here during select hours, I think it's three to five, you will get 50% off total bill which is good because it was a little pricey for us. All of our food with 50% off but including like the original tip or original service fee before it's reduced was $40 for two people. So it's expensive but incredible quality. Really delicious and fun to try these dishes. And here's my final pro tip. If you want to eat something that's more like a meal, not at a restaurant, whether you want to save some money, you can't cook in the place you're staying at, or you want something on the go that's filling, go to 7-Eleven and check out the Omni products. Omni is a company that makes things like Omni pork which is like a vegan pork substitute. It's really good quality. And the one we had was like plant-based pork bites with kimchi fried rice. Very tasty, very delicious. I think it was only like five dollars for like a pretty big portion. I would share it with Vanessa and it'd be like a good snack to hold us over. And yeah, it's a good thing to look out for. Maybe they have different versions now, but keep your eye out for these in 7-Eleven or other convenience stores across Hong Kong. So that's all for my vegan guide of Hong Kong. I definitely need to go back and eat at more restaurants because there are so many more I didn't have a chance to eat at. Have you been to any of these? Are there others you think I should visit? Let me know in the comments down below. Are you planning a trip to Hong Kong soon?
