“Our goal is to expand awareness - both for restaurateurs and diners… showing the public what is available right here in Rhode Island while also showing restaurants that there is growing demand for innovative, compassionate and healthier fare that goes beyond hummus and pasta primavera,” said Belanger. 

Participating restaurants will offer a variety of vegan specials - from discounts, combos, pre-fixes or special menus and menu items.  Restaurants are located throughout the state and range from pop-ups, cafes and fine dining to family restaurant chains.  

According to Belanger, cultures and cuisines represented include Jamaican, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, soul food, health food and vegan versions of American comfort food.
