Broccoli Revolution.
Address: 899 Sukhumvit Road Khlong Tan Nuea Watthana
As we arrived at Broccoli Revolution we were so impressed with the decor, the vibe and the excellent menu on offer.
Our first dish was Baya Kyaw Burmese Split Pea Fritters. Baya Kyam is traditional street food from Burma that is served with a slightly spicy tamarind chilli dipping sauce. As a vegetarian, I was in seventh heaven, I did not want this experience to end. The four well-proportioned fritters contained:
- mung beans,
- mint leaves,
- ginger,
- cayenne pepper,
- chilli,
- garlic,
- sugar and salt.
The yellow split peas are soaked overnight to make the fritters.
Served with the fritters was organic coconut water which is known for its healthy properties. It is known as the ‘elixir of life that contains natural electrolytes and potassium’. If you ever have an upset stomach whilst travelling through Asia we highly recommend natural coconut water to help replace the electrolytes that you lose in the process.
We learned that Naya, the owner, had spent many years in Myanmar. Broccoli Revolution is a plant-based vegan restaurant that also offers a smoothie bar and organic cold-pressed juices. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 09.00 am to 10.00 pm.
What we loved also about Broccoli Revolution is that they used natural straws made from morning glory stems. (Now, that is an innovation!)
Sustaina Restaurant and Organic Shop
Address: 1/40 Soi Sukhumvit 39 Khlong Tan Nuea Watthana
Sustaina uses the very best of organic vegetables from the Harmony Life Organic farm in its innovative Japanese menu as well as wild-caught seafood. On the street level is the shop and the restaurant is on the top floor. You can purchase organic vegetables plus other products from their shop.
We love the fact the dishes are MSG free and that they pride themselves on that their food will make you healthy inside and out.
Sustaina makes its Miso soup from:
- ginger
- onion
- radish
- miso (soybean, rice, sea salt)
- organic Ume enzyme
- broth (organic Ume, brown cane sugar, longan honey)
- Japanese spring onion
- sesame tofu (soymilk, tapioca flour, white sesame paste, sea salt and ginger).
Miso Soup fights against cancer, ageing and fatigue and also is very good for the skin. A traditional Japanese meal will include Miso Soup, the main dish and 2 small side dishes. The Miso Soup is served in a traditional Japanese bowl that is made from lacquered wood. The lid keeps the heat in and you sip from the bowl. It was a tasty soup, we could definitely taste the ingredients.
Veganerie Concept Restaurant
Address: 35 2 Sukhumvit Road, Khwaeng Khlong Tan, Khet Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand
Entering Veganerie was like entering another world. Another trendy hipster restaurant serving Vegan food in the heart of Bangkok.
Their dishes are 100% created from plants and are all-natural. The dishes are created for both Vegan and non-Vegans to inspire them to enjoy the health benefits of eating a more natural plant-based diet. The family advocates ‘food choices should nourish the earth as it nourishes us”.
Our very yummy Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream with Berries was made from:
- vanilla soy ice cream
- whipped coconut cream
- a very special vegan cookie crumble
- toppings of seasonal fresh blueberries and strawberries (heaven!)
We could have stayed at Veganerie all afternoon. The atmosphere was very calming and the dishes on their menu looked delicious.
Mays Veggie Home Restaurant
Address: 8/3 Sukhumvit 16 Ratchadapisek Road Khlong Toei
Since 2011 Mays Veggie Home Restaurant has been serving up 100% vegan cuisine. The owner and chef, May, works through the night to create her delicious vegan dishes and sauces.
We ordered vegetarian fried spring rolls. They were very light, full of vegetables wrapped in a crispy pastry.
Vegan Appetizer Samplers
Very delicate fresh spring rolls in rice paper with a sweet and sour dipping sauce topped by roasted peanuts were delicious.
Tasty Seitan Vegan Shrimp Rolls followed which were fried in rice oil for a savoury flavour with a dipping sauce.
Served with the two dishes were glasses of Roselle Juice which is made from the hibiscus plant. Roselle Juice is made from the hibiscus flower.
Apparently, it is called Roselle Juice if it is served cold and Hibiscus Tea if it is served hot. Roselle Juice is high in antioxidants, it lowers blood pressure, is good for the heart, has lots of vitamins, it cools you down and improves your immune system.
Hunter Poke
Address: Hunter Poke on B1 in the Interchange 21 building.
- momen tofu
- edame
- wakame (seaweed)
- mushrooms
- special shoyu sauce – a house speciality which is made from soy sauce mixed with sweet cooking rice
All the ingredients are sourced locally and are unprocessed, fresh and carefully balanced for taste and texture. The Vegan Poke bowl was very flavoursome.
We had not tried a Poke Bowl before but we will definitely source more Poke Bowls in the future.
The poke bowl originated in Hawaii. Local fishermen started to eat the cutoffs from the fish that they had caught as seasoned snacks. Modern adaptations have created the Poke Bowl. Poke actually means to slice or cut and the fish that the Hawaiians were catching were mostly tuna – so the original poke bowl was made from chunks of raw marinated tuna.
Tripadvisor Bangkok rates Hunter Poke as the best Poke in Bangkok.
About Eatery
Address: Ocean Tower II, Sukhumvit 21 Soi 3, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok
Opening hours: 11:30 PM – 2:30 PM | 5:30 PM – 11:00 PM Daily
Try their classic chocolate Vegan mousse made from Madagascar Cacao with coconut cream. The natural ingredients are prepared in copper cookware which allows both ingredients to heat up together.
About Eatery not only serves a delicious Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Coconut Cream but has a range of natural wines, craft beers and artisan spirits. Their menu is inspired by Italy and the Mediterranean regions of Europe. We will definitely return when we are back in Bangkok.
Ginger Farm Kitchen at Icon Siam
A recommendation from a fellow blogger on how good the vegetarian Khao Soi is at the Ginger Farm Kitchen at Icon Siam had us heading over there on our last visit to Bangkok.
We were not disappointed. The dish was memorable, the spice perfect, and the plant-based meat was succulent and the noodles crispy.
In conclusion, Bangkok has a vibrant vegetarian food scene that is worth exploring. From traditional Thai dishes to international cuisine, the city offers an array of options for vegetarians and vegans alike.

Even though I’m not a vegan this tour sounds amazing! I love the concept of a “guided food tour” without a guide and a group. I especially appreciate that you can stay as long as you want without rushing. Thank you for sharing this, it’s something I’d definitely consider in the future
Hi Daniel
Thanks for your comments. It certainly is a great way to enjoy the food of a city.
Cheers Jane and Duncan
I’m so excited I found this post, I’m heading to Bangkok in a couple of weeks so will have to try Bitemojo. This sounds like such a perfect way to do a food tour! I love your recommendation of having a few bites around lunch and the rest in the evening. Sounds like such a fun way to explore too. Thank you for sharing
Hi Sophie
Thanks for your comments. So pleased that you may have the opportunity to try out the Bitemojo tour – make sure you are very hungry!
Cheers Jane and Duncan
This is such a neat concept! I love the idea of trying a taste of different dishes all around a city. All of the ones you tried look so good! I was happy to see that they offer a tour in Berlin. We’ll be there for a short time this summer, so I’ll be sure to sign up.
Hi Carrie Ann
Thanks for your comments. Hopefully, when you visit Berlin you can take a Bitemojo tour. Let us know how it went.
Cheers Jane and Duncan
I am a vegan and this is surely a great idea to enjoy vegan food all day long. I have been to May Veggie Home, Veganerie and Broccoli Revolution. I would love to try the other three in your list. Let me have a look at Bitemojo app soon.
Hi Shreya
Thanks for your comments. So glad you have already visited 3 of them – the food is incredible we will be returning.
Cheers Jane and Duncan
Woah! Never knew there’s an app to taste and savour the food all around the world. Being a foodie, I definitely need to check it out. I wish there was one in India as well. But I am travelling to Singapore this year end and would download and use my credits at that time. Thanks for the insight.
Hi FS
Hope you get to try the Bitemojo Tour in Singapore. Would love to hear your comments about it.
Cheers Jane and Duncan
Oh wow! I’m already sold. That’s 2 things impressive – a food tour that isn’t rushed, a food tour that caters to veggies like me! I’ve never gone on a food tour because I hardly ever see a veggie friendly one!
Good to know its there in Lisbon. We’re planning to go there later this year. We’ll definitely try it out.
Hi Bhushavali
Thanks for your comments. It is so refreshing to know that there are Vegan tours out there and Bitemojo have a great range of tours around the world. Keep an eye out for more coming.
Cheers Jane and Duncan
I’m not vegan, but I do try to stick to a vegetarian diet when traveling so this all sounds amazing! The vegan chocolate delight looks divine- I love anything with coconut!
Hi Chloe
Thanks for your comments. The food on this tour was amazing, so fresh and flavoursome. We are chocoholics as well, so anything with chocolate goes down well with us.
Cheers Jane and Duncan
