Despite the name, this is a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options (please inquire). Located lakeside in the previous location of The Juicery. Has stayed vegetarian with a similar menu to before. Most ingredients are sourced locally in nearby organic farms or grow in the home garden. NOTE: Burger buns are reportedly not vegan. Smoking is reportedly permitted in the eating area. NOTE: Please verify if still fully vegetarian. Open Mon-Sun 7:00am-9:00pm.

Great food and location

The food and smoothies were delicious, service quick compared to other places and the location was lovely by the lake. A really nice, laid back atmosphere😄

Pas vegan mais beaucoup de plats vegans

Un peu bizarre comme appellation étant donné la présence de produits végétariens, même plusieurs plats avec sauce huître !!
Sinon leurs plats étaient vraiment délicieux et le cadre était sympathique à côté du lac

Cons: Sauce poisson dans certains plats

Not Vegan, ordering system does not always work

Not vegan, so had to check what I ordered (reason why I go to vegan restaurants is so that I do NOT have to check.
The system for ordering food is patchy. Both times my food was late / forgotten.

The views in front are great.

Pros: Views, Masala chai

Cons: Not vegan, Ineffective ordering system

Deceitful name: Not vegan but vegetarian

Change name of restaurant. They also have exactly the same menu as the restaurant Juicery Cafe next door. Seems like a marketing ploy to get vegan’s to eat there. Very disappointing because of eggs and dairy being served in kitchen.

Updated from previous review on 2025-04-03

Cons: Eggs, Dairy

Great place

This is probably our favorite place in Pokhara. We spent a week in Pokhara and came by nearly every single day. The restaurant is located directly at the lakefront and has just such a cozy vibe. We absolutely loved their smoothie bowls in the morning and our favorites for dinner are the Sesame Tofu Bowl and the Seitan Burger. The only downside would be that the restaurant also offers vegetarian options, with the name being kind of misleading. However, the vegan options are amazing and this is definitely one of the cheaper restaurants in Lakeside.

Pros: Great atmosphere , Good portions , Amazing taste

Cons: Not completely vegan

Huge menu

Very large place with big menu. Was very busy when I visited. Food came quickly. It was ok but nothing special. Staff seemed a bit confused and unfriendly. Turmeric ginger shot was not drinkable. Despite its name this place is veggie not vegan. However there are also some meals that contain oyster sauce, as the menu marks. So technically not a vegetarian place.

Great place, allot of vegan options

Nice and delicious food.
Awesome tofu bowl!
Sushi comes with just a little piece of wasabi. Ask for more ;)

We would recommend to prefer the chairs for sitting and eating.
We sat down on the cushions on the floor and had a few new bites of bugs after the food.

Pros: Very good food, Perfect portions, Lakeview

Cons: Insekts in the cushion , Too less wasabi, Staff is inattentive

Decent, but not enough vegan options

As others have said, despite its name, Vegan Way is decidedly not vegan. The vegan options are decent but overall lacking in variety and amount of options. If you’re vegetarian, this place is a treat. If you’re vegan, not so much…

Pas mal mais -

Restaurant joli, les plats sont pas mal. Je mets cette note car j’ai été déçue du plat que j’ai commandé, un sandwich dans la partie brunch, avec avocat, tofu, bacon etc, je l’ai pris pour le bacon, il y’en avait pas. Je demande, on me répond que c’est le tofu.. dans ce cas là il faut pas écrire « bread, tofu, bacon, lettuce.. » puisque le tofu EST le bacon, alors que ça n’a rien à voir.

Le matcha ice, pas de sirop d’agave comme indiqué, j’ai pas osé demander, le serveur a commencé à nettoyer la serpillère juste à côté de nous (endroit assis par terre) et nous a demandé de partir, je venais d’engloutir mon pain et je n’avais pas fini ma boisson glacée…

Les smoothies sont passables, tellement d’ingrédients qu’on sent pas le matcha (geisha smoothie).

Pros: Lieu

Cons: Manque un ingrédient , Manque de goût , Serveur qui nous dit de partir or pas fini manger

So yummy, super healthy goodness, made it much love and care :)

Such kind staff, beautiful and eco-conscious decor and phenomenal vegan dishes. The vegan delight bowl was both tasteful and nutritious and the mushroom burger was genuinely the bestest I ever had and my non-vegan husband agreed, that holds great weight 🙊🌱

Heerlijke koffie en eten.

Hier kun je lekker gezond eten, veel vegan en ook koffie met sojamelk en andere plantaardige melk zoals hennepmelk. Heerlijk plek om te onthaasten , zeer vriendelijk personeel, heel veel keus en ze bakken zelf vers brood.

Updated from previous review on 2024-03-05

Pros: De tuin en teraasen, Veel keus, alles vers, Heerlijke sapjes

Lives up to the hype and more...

The selection and time it takes to be served is incredible. Freshly made on site. I understand the hype of this place. Not toooo pricey and fantastic choice, not everything vegan but still not disappointed at all

Pros: Huge selection , Quality food, Beautiful lakeside view

The vibes

With a meditation space and some events or workshops hosted here such as free mantra chanting, this place is a really chill space that is often packed and quite communal.

Since they’re always busy, it can take some time to order at the counter and receive that order, but the food is pretty good and the menu is quite extensive. There are many options.

They were sadly out of the homemade kombucha, but the Hulk smoothie was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Blat sandwich. Feed your body, feed your spirit.

Not vegan, SCAM!

I cannot imagine calling a restaurant, vegan way and serving animal products. This place is the epitome of false marketing. Rich tourist trap. Avoid

Cons: Not vegan, Serve animals, False marketing

Love this place!

I loved everything I had here! Lots of great options, beautiful garden looking over the lake, lovely atmosphere. My non vegan partner enjoyed his meals here too.
My particular favourite was the BALT (Tofu) sandwich... it was HUGE! I also had a Tofu Salad which again was a hefty portion! Id ordered a slice of sourdough cause the bread is lush but hadnt realised how big my salad would be, oops!)
I'd highly recommend here. There's also a huge selection of smoothies and plant milks for coffee etc.
Also had the banana and date shake with plant milk which was lush and I'm not usually a fan of banana shakes!

Centre of the social scene

Amazing food and service, with mouth watering inducing smoothies, and is always full of travellers and backpackers in Pokhara. First heard about it when I was in Kathmandu as being the social scene of Pokhara. Met lots of friends there and it was the place to go whenever I had nothing else to do. Highly recommendable.

Pros: All vegan and vegetarian foods., Full of interesting people and always bustling., Delicious foods at delicious prices.

Best place in town for sure!

The food is fresh and delicious, the portions giant (something it's really too much), the staff is very friendly!
We spend months in pokhara eating there almost every day. Even when we tried other places we were disappointed and always get back to the vegan way😄

Pros: Lots of vegan options ( you can always ask), Cheapest in town, The best place

Cons: If really something, toilets are not incredible...

BEST IN POKHARA

Don’t even think twice on where to eat when you arrive in Pokhara. Just go here!!! I ate many places, and there is no doubt that Vegan way is THE BEST in Pokhara. The food is fresh, washed in clean water and much of the produce is organic. The dishes are focused around being health conscious and you can even find raw vegan items on the menu! The portions are HUGE and so damn tasty! When you order something with avocado/guacamole you will actually receive a small mountain of it (unlike back in Europe). The vibe is beautiful, there are Kirtan chanting and daily yoga classes on the premessis and for many people (including myself) hanging out and enjoying the delicious dishes at vegan way is a daily occorance when in Pokhara. Tips: the buddhabowl and the super green garden salad are AMAZING, but nothing TOPS the VEGAN DELIGHT PLATE! Thank me later ☺️

Pros: The largesg portions, Health focused food, Beautiful location

Cons: Lots of smoking , Waiting time
