The brand intends to open five new venues in April as veganism continues to grow in popularity.
Just Vegan, which can currently be found in Dubai Marina and Al Seef, plans to open casual dining outlets in Al Quoz, Bussiness Bay, Barsha and City Walk alongside a fine-dining style restaurant in Jumeirah before the end of April.
Suresh Baabu, Cluster Executive Chef at Just Vegan, explained: “We were already planning on expanding prior to Coronavirus, but after seeing the increased interest in veganism during the pandemic we decided that now is the right time. People got more conscious about their health and wellbeing as they were dealing with a lot of stress and being at home and so we wanted to further cater to that growing market by providing them with healthy plant based foods.”
The brand currently sources around 70 per cent of the vegetables on its menu from local organic producers and menu items include vegan sushi, ‘chicken’ curry and pizza made with plant-based cheese and meatless meatballs.
