There are very few veggies on most menus in Catalina, so even if a restaurant is vegan friendly, it's going to be carb heavy and not the typical healthy plant based diet. <br /><br />The espresso/wine bar near the boat dock makes a soy latte and a Mediterranean appetizer plate with tapenade, hummus and olive oil. Metropole cafe has smoothies and delish vegan sandwiches, soups, etc. They also stock healthy vegan snacks. M restaurant serves upscale veg-friendly cuisine, but you will still need to make some adjustments to the menu. We explicitly said no butter and I am pretty sure the veggies in our pasta were sauteed in butter :(. There was an overall unfamiliarity of what veganism actually is. Most servers brought bread out with butter, etc. <br />We had a great 'hangover' breakfast at Joes cafe. We ordered vegetarian refried beans, tortillas, avocados, hashbrowns and salsa off the sides menu. Their salsa is really good!<br />My advice is to bring your own food and stay somewhere with a kitchen. Catalina is a fun place to visit for a few days and you will get by without compromising your vegan diet.RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044653100445055146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384032740911617402.post-3606894471203092802010-06-29T18:28:30.194-06:002010-06-29T18:28:30.194-06:00Dear Vegan - There is hope...
A new restaurant ha...Dear Vegan - There is hope... <br />A new restaurant has opened on Catalina Island called "M" Food & Drink, they just opened this year Feb 2010 and are Vegan & Vegetarian friendly. They have a couple of different items on the menu and also support fresh farm to table concept along with organic when possible. So don't shy away from Catalina, and remember the M Restaurant.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563401656963888161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384032740911617402.post-56997843719008532582008-07-15T00:11:00.000-06:002008-07-15T00:11:00.000-06:00I am planning a weekend getaway to Catalina from L...I am planning a weekend getaway to Catalina from LA with my wife. The beans at the burger place sound good... this was in Avalon I presume. Because we are such picky eaters we always bring our own. How did you get there, through the Harbor area or Marina delRey and at what cost? <BR/>I am seriously looking at visiting Catalina Because it offers all of our favorite activities, camping, snorkeling, kayaking and hiking... we also love to eat. So thank you for blogging on Vegan on Catalina Island.CaterGreen!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00631301451696189351noreply@blogger.com
