List of Vegan Restaurants in Ottawa
Veganism is a self-adopted lifestyle which renounces all animal food products and can extend to other areas of life. Vegans (those who practice Veganism) can be of many types, including those who are strictly against any food items derived from animals and those who are against the use of animals for any gain (along with the abstaining diet). While the term vegetarian is said to be used first in the 19th century (by an English Actress), the practice can be traced back to ancient India and other regions.
While most people today adopt veganism due to moral and ethical considerations, it involves religious values for others (such as the followers of Hinduism). However, this lifestyle choice, as one can imagine (and others attest to) is difficult to stick to, given that it requires a lot of persistence and careful consideration when it comes to daily consumables. Thankfully, Ottawa has a list of diverse, high-quality vegan restaurants for people to enjoy. These places are detailed below.
