Surprise, it is VEGAN! And this place is very instagram-able!

I would describe it as eclectic having French, as well as Italian-inspired chairs and couches, native Asian bamboo curtains at the ceiling, and other European-inspired decors, but their website described the place as having "an industrial bohemian flair".

It is right across the street going to Nirwa Ubud Karma, Nirwa Ubud Homestay and Ubud Yoga House. And it has a good view of Ubud Street going down to Ubud Central.

There's a few but a good selection of food and drinks in the menu. The good part of that is what we ordered were good-looking, and quite tasty.

Lola Bites (Vegan Tacos)

BBQ Tofu Bowl

It rained really hard that day (February 20, 2019) so the store got packed before we left. Pro tip: It rained everyday for six days (02.20-02.24) in Ubud, in the afternoon. Bring your necessary gears if traveling on those dates.

The Vegan Dinosaur, Davao City

The Vegan Dinosaur, Davao City

Posted by roma on January 05, 2019 in 100% plant-based, cruelty-free, Davao City, Food and Restaurants, RESTAURANTS, The Vegan Dinosaur, The Vegan Dinosaur Menu, Vegan, Vegetarian,

Yes, there is a 100% plant-based, cruelty-free restaurant in Davao City and this is awesome! They have an awesome name too.

Spot this signage

The Vegan Dinosaur is being true to the "eat consciously" mantra having no refined sugar, no oil and raw options, among others, on the menu.

In fact, my soup came in tasteless, only to find out that there's pink salt and ground pepper (and probably other condiments that I didn't check) on the table. But there is a wide and interesting selection on the menu. See full menu here.

Tofu Teriyaki

Small but worth it

Well what do we have here? Oh, herbivore dinosaurs!

The Vegan Dinosaur only has five tables that can sit eighteen people. All food is made-to-order so it's going to take a while before the food comes out. The menu has facts which you can read to know more about the store and veganism. So you can pass the time while you wait for your food. But it will be worth it because as you can see, everything comes in big serving.

Cheese Melt Tortilla Chips -- a must try!

Buddha Bowl

After dining at The Vegan Dinosaur, we were pleased to find that across by the side street is the Life is Here Park and Botanical Garden, a few steps across the front are two coffee shops Spark Coffee and Green Coffee. We went to the latter for a night cap.

A lot of other local shops are there on Ruby Street but they were unfortunately closed at the time.

The Vegan Dinosaur is operational from 9AM to 9PM daily. Visit them at Values School, Door A, Ruby St, Poblacion District, Davao City, 8000 Davao del Sur

Well it does not end there. A few steps across the restaurant is another 100% plant-based, cruelty-free store in Davao City -- Croft Bulk Foods. See my write up here.
