This is the best vegetable restaurant in the world
Are you vegetarian, flexitarian, or simply crazy about really good vegetable dishes? There’s a good chance these restaurants will delight you. We’re Smart, the organization that puts vegetables at the heart of the culinary world, has announced the world’s best vegetable restaurants. And how cool is this: a Dutch restaurant is in third place!
Stuffed portobello
Vegetarian food has long been anything but predictable and monotonous. In the past, vegetarians were routinely served a stuffed portobello, but nowadays it comes in a much more exciting form—for example, portobello steaks from Ottolenghi’s new book Flavour. And you hardly ever see good old quiche anymore (even though it can be really delicious too, as this Italian quiche proves)! Even the biggest Michelin-starred restaurants are increasingly putting vegetables in the spotlight. And that results in dishes that many a meat eater would be jealous of! So full of flavor, colorful, and with textures that surprise you.
We’re Smart Green Guide
The We’re Smart Green Guide assesses restaurants around the world based on various sustainability criteria. These include the proportion of vegetables and fruit used in the kitchen, the use of seasonal ingredients, the kitchen’s culinary creativity, and the restaurant’s ecological footprint. Over the past year, the We’re Smart Green Guide visited hundreds of restaurants, and these are the best vegetable restaurants in their view:
Top 10 best vegetable restaurants in the world
Executive Chef Bas van Kranen of Bord’Eau is known for his pure, light cuisine and recognizable ingredients, combined with a strong affinity for vegetables.

We got there before you and can confirm: you eat wonderfully here!
