The best vegetarian places in Kazan in 2022

A vegetarian cafe is not just a set of dishes in a certain establishment, but a place where you can spend time with like-minded people. Often vegetarians cannot go to an ordinary restaurant - as a rule, the choice of food without meat in them is small. Sometimes marital status interferes, because in places for adherents of a healthy diet there is rarely a children's room, and therefore you have to make compromises. Let's talk about what are the best vegetarian establishments in Kazan below.

How to choose an institution?

Special establishments for vegetarians have their undeniable advantages:

1. balanced composition of food - it is in the cafe that non-meat dishes are varied and tasty. At home, there is not always the strength and time to achieve this, but here the balance of the composition is maintained. In addition, in vegetarian cafes you can find unusual dishes that you will definitely want to repeat later - for example, burritos or brines.
2. no chemicals - meat dishes often require preservatives, accelerators and flavor enhancers. In vegetarian establishments, such substances are not needed, and therefore all food is healthy and does not contain chemical components.
3. healthy atmosphere - in the assortment of such cafes there are no alcohol and cigarettes. This creates a pleasant environment and does not harm children.

Choosing a place that serves vegetarian food is a difficult task. Of course, there are many of them, but not all cities have such cafes. Some establishments combine a vegetarian format with a place for adherents of a raw food or vegan diet, while others simply add a lenten menu to the assortment.

Before visiting any institution, it is worth doing some preparation, taking into account the selection criteria:

1. get acquainted with the menu - as a rule, it is presented on the official website or in the social networks of the institution. In extreme cases, you can call the phone number listed on the site and ask questions. All this will save time and add confidence when visiting.
2. pay attention to the national orientation of the cuisine - usually in the dishes of Asian countries there are practically no dairy products, but there is an abundance of vegetables, tofu and soy; in Indian restaurants they cook from vegetables; in pizzerias, at the request of the client, they can prepare an order without meat and replace other unacceptable products.

Arriving at a restaurant, you should definitely clarify the detailed composition of the dishes with the waiter, tell him which products should be excluded so that he can recommend something suitable from the menu, clarify how much it costs, and give useful advice. Do not be shy to ask to remove some of the ingredients - this is usually not paid and does without any consequences.

Among the most dangerous dishes for vegetarians are the following:

1. salads. It would seem that this is the simplest dish, where every ingredient is in plain sight. But the deceit lies elsewhere: in the dressing - not every dressing is made on the basis of plant products. For example, the traditional French demi-glace sauce is made from beef bones. Most often it is served, of course, with meat, but there are exceptions;
2. soups. These are the most dangerous foods. Even vegetable soup can be cooked in meat broth for better flavor. The situation with cream soups is even more complicated. Such a consistency allows you to hide any ingredients and sometimes even experienced gourmets cannot distinguish the meat flavor. It is even more difficult to find a suitable puree soup for those who do not consume dairy products - cream is found in almost every such dish;
3. sweets. Oddly enough, this section contains the least danger for vegetarians. A few years ago, raw sweets (cakes, pastries and other desserts) began to come into fashion - they are prepared without eggs, flour and sugar, but contain a harmonious combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
