Vegan Fare in San Diego Area

With the recent results released by the World Health Organization linking processed meat consumption with increased risk of cancer, it seems a good time to share my personal list of vegan and vegan friendly restaurants. There have been quite a few new restaurants opening in the San Diego area as well as new discoveries (Cafe Gratitude, Purple Mint, Civico 1845, Trilogy Sanctuary). I’ve tried most, but not all. My favorites to date are Cafe Gratitude, Evolution, Native Foods, Plumeria, Purple Mint, and Trilogy
