About Week
Participating restaurants are free to offer a variety of vegan specials - from simple discounts, combos, pre-fixes or special menus/menu items. Restaurants are located throughout all corners of the state, from Westerly to Cumberland, and range from pop-ups, cafes & fine dining to family restaurant chains. There’ll also be plenty of gluten-free options, say event organizers.
Cultures and cuisines represented include Indian, soul food, Jamaican, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, juices, health food, American comfort food, and plenty of desserts.
"Our goal is to expand awareness - both for restaurateurs and diners… showing the public what is available right here in RI while also showing restaurants that there is a growing demand for innovative, compassionate and healthier fare that goes beyond hummus and pasta primavera," added Belanger.
