Restaurants are also offering more choice and adapting popular dishes to be vegan based. What more popular dish is there than a juicy burger? And how do these favourites become vegan options? From mushroom patties to beyond patties, and burgers with vegan cheeses and buns, there are a ton of options for you. Here is a round up of some of Dubai's favourite vegan burgers to try on a night out.
