Where to Eat Vegan Foods in Bowral
Even if you aren’t vegan, these are the best places to enjoy a meat-free meal in Bowral.
If you’re visiting Bowral and your unsure where to eat if you’re vegan, there are so many great cafes and restaurants which serve both vegan and non-vegan foods to suit whatever your dietary needs are. And gluten-free too.
I have always said it it far easier being vegan than to be gluten-free. And although I am not entirely vegan, I am gluten-free. And I do struggle most of the times when eating out, to find places which serve food (apart from soup and salad) which is gluten-free.
Vegan on the other hand is pretty easy to track down, as it’s mostly plant-based (meaning lots of fresh vegetables).
Bowral has been an the forefront of culinary eats for a while now. Surrounded by amazing farmlands which produce some of the best foods in New South Wales – well I think so anyways.
This goes for both restaurants and cafes. So matter what type of adventure you’re planning for Bowral, there is something to cater for everyone.
However, for this blog I have opted to choose my top three cafes which cater for both vegan and non-vegan. But of course, most of the beautiful restaurants at night on the main drag through Bowral township do offer delicious hot veggie meals.
But I always find it’s the cafes when eating on the road or throughout the day where I struggle for the gluten free and vegan options. Hence, why I have opted to ficus on three cafes in Bowral who provide some great vegan and gluten-free options.
