Top restaurants and brands in Dubai offering plant-based meat burgers

Plant-based meat has grown in popularity in recent years. It is the ideal answer for those vegetarians who want to fulfill their meat cravings while being guilt-free. The growing popularity of a plant-based diet comes from vegan meat that tastes like animal meat but eliminates the negatives attached to it. As a result, it becomes the ideal one-stop destination and solution for non-vegetarians to alter their diets and consume all things plant-based, as well as for vegetarians to be able to eat something that tastes and feels like meat but without violating their cruelty-free eating regimen.

The UAE's interest in plant-based foods is rising quickly, with research published last year forecasting that the country's market for meat substitutes will rise at a "formidable CAGR" until 2028.

Overall, plant-based meat is popularly used in burgers and other fried side dishes such as tenders and nuggets. This trend is projected to continue throughout the city, given the rising demand for plant-based cuisine.
