Bird's Nest
We ate here almost daily. Their menu is packed with fresh, healthy vegan options including vegetable wraps, tom kha, curries, and pumpkin soup. Smoothies are also a highlight. The black sesame banana smoothie and the mango coconut smoothie are favorites. Read our post.
May Kaidee
A fully vegan classic in Chiang Mai, and home to one of the city’s best vegan cooking classes. The food is fresh and flavorful. We especially loved their banana blossom salad, pad thai, and mango sticky rice with pink coconut milk. A great spot to eat and learn. Read our post.
Goodsouls Kitchen
Another fully vegan favorite, Goodsouls is where we’d go for vegan comfort food. Their mushroom burger, pizzas, and lasagna are standout dishes, and the big menu makes it easy to keep coming back. They also have many vegan cakes.
Healthy Junk
Build-your-own-bowls are the focus at Healthy Junk, making it easy to craft a fresh vegan meal. Our go-to combo was chickpeas, sweet potato, and kale, but the toppings list is long enough to mix it up every time.
Pure Vegan Heaven
A cozy spot and a must-visit for plant-based travelers. Everything we tried was good, but the spring rolls and coconut kefir are what we’d come back for.
Free Bird Cafe
A 100% vegan café with a social mission. Profits support education projects for Burmese refugees. Their vegan khao soi, a Chiang Mai classic, is the dish to order here.
Tikky Cafe
Tikky has a separate vegan menu, which makes ordering easy. We enjoyed their pineapple fried rice, curries, pad see ew, and papaya salad. Portions are generous, and the atmosphere is lively.
Salsa Kitchen
If you’re craving Mexican food, Salsa Kitchen is a solid pick in Chiang Mai. They have several vegan options. We liked their tacos, which come with tofu or black beans and a generous portion of guacamole.
