Doable with planning

S-Market, K-Market, and Prisma use clear "Vegaaninen" shelf labels with a green leaf symbol. Finland updated national dietary guidelines in 2024 to prioritise plant proteins — the same policy signal that elevated Denmark.

Ubud has one of the highest concentrations of vegan restaurants per capita in Southeast Asia — but "vegetarian" here often includes egg. Always confirm "tanpa telur, tanpa susu" (no egg, no milk).

Mercadona supermarkets stock Spain's "Hacendado Vegetal" own-brand range with clear labelling — look for the green "VEGANO" shelf tags. Tenerife and Gran Canaria have the strongest scenes.

Ibiza's wellness tourism has created a dense vegan cluster around Santa Gertrudis — but traditional Mallorcan cuisine hides sobrassada (pork sausage) in unexpected places. Ask "¿Lleva sobrassada?"

São Paulo has more vegan restaurants than any city in Latin America — look for "natural" restaurants serving pay-by-weight buffets where you can see exactly what you're eating.

Cactus and Delhaize supermarkets stock excellent French, Belgian, and German vegan imports — some of the best cross-border retail access in Europe. Tiny scale means limited dedicated restaurants.

Traditional ftira bread is naturally vegan — but watch for ġbejniet (sheep's cheese) in salads. EU labelling applies, and the island's small size means you're never far from a supermarket.

Orthodox fasting food ("nistísimo") isn't reliably vegan — honey and shellfish are permitted. Safer to ask "horis kreas, horis gala, horis avgo" (no meat, no milk, no egg) than rely on fasting labels.

Carrefour and LuLu Hypermarket stock extensive imports with English labelling. The Pearl-Qatar district has the densest concentration of international restaurants where staff understand "vegan".

Look for yellow "Vegetarian" signs at Chinese-Malaysian restaurants — but these often include egg. Hidden fish-based ingredients are common. For strict vegan, seek "Vegan" in English or Buddhist restaurants marked 卍.

Most liberal Gulf state for dining — Carrefour and LuLu stock excellent imports, and the expat population supports Mediterranean and Indian restaurants where vegan options are standard.

The Avenues and 360 Mall have the best concentration of international dining. LuLu Hypermarket stocks comprehensive South Asian and European vegan imports with English labelling.

Woolworths supermarkets use clear "Vegan" and "Plant-Based" labelling nationwide — look for the green leaf symbol. Cape Town ranks among Africa's most vegan-friendly cities.

Do your main vegan dining in nearby Spain or France, then treat Andorra as a scenic add-on. Pyrénées department store has the best food hall, and duty-free pricing makes specialty products cheaper.

Ljubljana was European Green Capital 2016 and has strong plant-forward culture — Mercator supermarkets stock good ranges, and the compact old town has several dedicated vegan spots within walking distance.

Tallinn's tech-forward culture extends to food — Bolt Food and Wolt deliver from multiple vegan restaurants, and Rimi and Selver supermarkets stock solid ranges with EU-standard labelling.

Budapest ranks in HappyCow's European Top 20 — but traditional Hungarian cuisine hides lard (zsír) in unexpected places including pastries. Ask "Van benne állati zsír?" (Does it contain animal fat?).

Bratislava's 1-hour proximity to Vienna means similar supply chains — Billa and Lidl stock Austrian and German vegan imports, and the compact old town has several dedicated options.

Dalmatian coast tourist areas are improving, but traditional dishes hide anchovy paste in seemingly vegetable dishes. Zagreb leads — look for "biljno" (plant-based) on menus.

"Soda" restaurants serve traditional rice and beans (gallo pinto) that's naturally vegan when made with vegetable oil — but ask "¿Está hecho con manteca?" to check for lard.

Reykjavík has several dedicated vegan restaurants, but outside the capital options thin dramatically. Bónus supermarket (the pink pig logo) is cheapest for self-catering essentials.

Dutch supply chains mean Albert Heijn products appear in local supermarkets — Super Food and Ling & Sons stock European imports. The Palm Beach hotel strip has reliable international dining.

Dutch colony benefits mean excellent European imports — Centrum Supermarket and Goisco stock comprehensive ranges. Willemstad's Pietermaai district has the strongest restaurant scene.

Halloumi is everywhere but avoidable. Alphamega and Papantoniou supermarkets stock good EU imports with standard labelling — similar challenges to Greece but smaller scale reduces friction.

Buenos Aires' Palermo district has Latin America's fastest-growing vegan scene — but traditional "vegetariano" often means "no red meat" (chicken and fish included). Always specify "vegano estricto".

Santiago's Bellavista and Lastarria districts lead — look for "Jumbo" supermarkets which stock the best vegan ranges. Traditional empanadas almost always contain lard in the pastry.

UK-style supermarkets with strong imports — MarketPlace and Lindo's stock familiar British vegan brands. Hamilton has the strongest dining concentration but options are limited islandwide.
