8 spots that are delivering vegetarian and vegan meals

From a giant gatsby to burgers and curries, get your veggie meals delivered

For all the vegetarians, vegans, flexitarians, or even the carnivores who would like to try something new, here are eight plant-based restaurants that are delivering - from a massive gatsby to burgers and Durban-style masalas.

SPUR’S GONE VEGAN (KIND OF)

Spur Steak Ranch has headed the veganuary call and introduced the pioneering vegan Beyond Burger. And it’s remarkable. Biting into the Spur Beyond Burger gives you the same substantial juicy flavours with some added health benefits and a collectively lighter footprint on the planet. But, if beef really isn’t your game (even the beef-like vegan options), there’s also a vegan schnitzel and a crumbed veggie burger. Both come with a side of chips or onion rings at Spur. 

How to order: Spur is open for visitors. You can find the nearest spur to you and book online.

LOAD UP YOUR CART

It’ll be hard to choose from the Herbivorous menu - highlights are the loaded fries, loaded mac ‘n cheese, and a loaded bacon salad, as well as the health bomb burger with a quinoa-sweet potato-lentil patty. The Mac Mazing Caramel smoothie, which includes maca powder, banana and dates, is the perfect sweet treat.

How to order: WhatsApp 061 584 5585, order online or via UberEats and Mr D

A GATSBY BIG ENOUGH TO SHARE

From a vegan chicken or beef gatsby that can feed you and four friends to burgers, nuggets and even kebabs, you’ll feel less guilty binging on Lekker Vegan’s meat-free junk food.

How to order: Phone or WhatsApp 084 903 66 97, or order online

NOURISH YOURSELF

Nourish’d serves up a classic but delicious (and also healthy) plant-based meals. Try the avo and pesto on sourdough toast if you’re after something light. If you’re after something more substantial you can’t go wrong with the falafel wraps with beetroot hummus and chilli mint sauce. The cafe also offers cleanse programmes (from broths to juices) and various healthy smoothies.

How to order: Call or WhatsApp 066 336 3944, or order via OrderIn or UberEats

FROM AN ENGLISH BREAKFAST TO HOT DOGS

At Plant, you can expect nachos, pasta, homemade vegan hot dogs, tiramisu or even a full English fry-up that includes cauli scramble and plant-based bacon.

How to order: Call 072 521 9252 (CBD) or 076 296 1665 (Camps Bay), order online, or use Mr D and UberEats

TRY A CBD BROWNIE

Scheckter's RAW describes themselves as gourmet vegan health food. The smashed avo with diced Jalapeno chillies infused in truffle oil on Essene bread is divine. They also have frozen smoothies, like passionfruit, mango and banana with coconut mylk. Or treat yourself to a CBD brownie (with 5mg of CBD oil).

How to order: Phone 021 434 1364 or order online

EVER TRIED MUSHROOM BACON?

BamBoo Plant Power’s menu is 100% plant-based and includes items such as mushroom “bacon”, lettuce and tomato toastie or wrap. The Mexican-inspired bowl consists of smokey black beans on a quinoa base with roast pumpkin, pickled jalapenos, avocado, corn chips and a chopped salad. If you’re after a real treat,  top off your order with a peanut butter pie.

How to order: Uber Eats or Mr D

SCHICKEN TO CHOCOLATE CAKE

Try Ground Zero’s famous “schicken” and mayo sandwich or the FLT - facon, lettuce and tomato on a toasted ciabatta roll with hand-cut chips and coleslaw. Or satisfy your sweet tooth with a cinnamon croissant, a chocolate cake covered in Smarties or a Snickers bar covered with 80% dark chocolate.

How to order: Phone or WhatsApp 076 300 4942

KEEP WARM WITH SOMETHING SPICY

Choose from over a dozen vegan curries, from chana masala (chickpeas cooked with spicy potato) to a butter beans curry cooked Durban-style. Prashad Café also offers several breyani options as well as wraps and bunny chow. Add a traditional yoghurt-based drink, such as the rose or mango lassi.
