Where to eat when you don't fancy meat in New Zealand

"This is the ultimate organic and vegan health food store and café. Delicious, healthy, meat-free salads, smoothies and nut-butter galore. You’ll feel good about eating here but you’ll also enjoy the food because it is truly delish."

"Probably my favourite healthy-eating spot in the city. This place is packed every single day, and for good reason! Ripe offers a wide range of healthy, vegetarian and vegan choices and now you can even buy their cookbook to recreate the meals on your own. Don’t leave without trying their quinoa cookies!"

"Burgers, shepherd’s pie… might not sound meat-free but it is! The tofu burger is a standout and even my carnivorous husband enjoys the vegetarian shepherd’s pie. They have a great salad and smoothie bar too and it’s conveniently located in central Vulcan Lane, off Queen Street."
