When it comes to dining out in the Hamptons, there is no shortage of restaurants to choose from. What’s surprising, however, is that the Hamptons does not have a vegan-only restaurant! With the plethora of vegan establishments in New York City (and beyond) one would expect the East End to have followed suit.
But, as we continue our wait for the announcement of a fully vegan dining experience in the Hamptons, there are plenty of local restaurants that offer several delicious vegan menu items. And more are joining in the movement all the time. So, here is your guide to finding the best restaurants with vegan options across the Hamptons, whether they be a casual breakfast or lunch spot, or a sit-down dinner in an inviting atmosphere!
For a relaxed vegan breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner give one of these popular spots a try…
