Despite the name, this is a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options (please inquire). Located lakeside in the previous location of The Juicery. Has stayed vegetarian with a similar menu to before. Most ingredients are sourced locally in nearby organic farms or grow in the home garden. NOTE: Burger buns are reportedly not vegan. Smoking is reportedly permitted in the eating area. Open Mon-Sun 7:00am-9:00pm.

Great place, allot of vegan options - Edit
Nice and delicious food.
Read moreAwesome tofu bowl!
Sushi comes with just a little piece of wasabi. Ask for more ;)
We would recommend to prefer the chairs for sitting and eating.
We sat down on the cushions on the floor and had a few new bites of bugs after the food.
Pros: Very good food, Perfect portions, Lakeview
Cons: Insekts in the cushion , Too less wasabi, Staff is inattentive

Decent, but not enough vegan options - Edit
As others have said, despite its name, Vegan Way is decidedly not vegan. The vegan options are decent but overall lacking in variety and amount of options. If you’re vegetarian, this place is a treat. If you’re vegan, not so much…

Pas mal mais - - Edit
Restaurant joli, les plats sont pas mal. Je mets cette note car j’ai été déçue du plat que j’ai commandé, un sandwich dans la partie brunch, avec avocat, tofu, bacon etc, je l’ai pris pour le bacon, il y’en avait pas. Je demande, on me répond que c’est le tofu.. dans ce cas là il faut pas écrire « bread, tofu, bacon, lettuce.. » puisque le tofu EST le bacon, alors que ça n’a rien à voir.
Read moreLe matcha ice, pas de sirop d’agave comme indiqué, j’ai pas osé demander, le serveur a commencé à nettoyer la serpillère juste à côté de nous (endroit assis par terre) et nous a demandé de partir, je venais d’engloutir mon pain et je n’avais pas fini ma boisson glacée…
Les smoothies sont passables, tellement d’ingrédients qu’on sent pas le matcha (geisha smoothie).

So yummy, super healthy goodness, made it much love and care :) - Edit
Such kind staff, beautiful and eco-conscious decor and phenomenal vegan dishes. The vegan delight bowl was both tasteful and nutritious and the mushroom burger was genuinely the bestest I ever had and my non-vegan husband agreed, that holds great weight 🙊🌱

The selection and time it takes to be served is incredible. Freshly made on site. I understand the hype of this place. Not toooo pricey and fantastic choice, not everything vegan but still not disappointed at all

The vibes - Edit
With a meditation space and some events or workshops hosted here such as free mantra chanting, this place is a really chill space that is often packed and quite communal.
Read moreSince they’re always busy, it can take some time to order at the counter and receive that order, but the food is pretty good and the menu is quite extensive. There are many options.
They were sadly out of the homemade kombucha, but the Hulk smoothie was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Blat sandwich. Feed your body, feed your spirit.

Not vegan, SCAM! - Edit
I cannot imagine calling a restaurant, vegan way and serving animal products. This place is the epitome of false marketing. Rich tourist trap. Avoid

Love this place! - Edit
I loved everything I had here! Lots of great options, beautiful garden looking over the lake, lovely atmosphere. My non vegan partner enjoyed his meals here too.
Read moreMy particular favourite was the BALT (Tofu) sandwich... it was HUGE! I also had a Tofu Salad which again was a hefty portion! Id ordered a slice of sourdough cause the bread is lush but hadnt realised how big my salad would be, oops!)
I'd highly recommend here. There's also a huge selection of smoothies and plant milks for coffee etc.
Also had the banana and date shake with plant milk which was lush and I'm not usually a fan of banana shakes!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, bug portions , Plant milks for shakes, coffee etc , Beautiful garden and view

Centre of the social scene - Edit
Amazing food and service, with mouth watering inducing smoothies, and is always full of travellers and backpackers in Pokhara. First heard about it when I was in Kathmandu as being the social scene of Pokhara. Met lots of friends there and it was the place to go whenever I had nothing else to do. Highly recommendable.
Read morePros: All vegan and vegetarian foods., Full of interesting people and always bustling., Delicious foods at delicious prices.

Best place in town for sure! - Edit
The food is fresh and delicious, the portions giant (something it's really too much), the staff is very friendly!
Read moreWe spend months in pokhara eating there almost every day. Even when we tried other places we were disappointed and always get back to the vegan way😄
Pros: Lots of vegan options ( you can always ask), Cheapest in town, The best place
Cons: If really something, toilets are not incredible...

BEST IN POKHARA - Edit
Don’t even think twice on where to eat when you arrive in Pokhara. Just go here!!! I ate many places, and there is no doubt that Vegan way is THE BEST in Pokhara. The food is fresh, washed in clean water and much of the produce is organic. The dishes are focused around being health conscious and you can even find raw vegan items on the menu! The portions are HUGE and so damn tasty! When you order something with avocado/guacamole you will actually receive a small mountain of it (unlike back in Europe). The vibe is beautiful, there are Kirtan chanting and daily yoga classes on the premessis and for many people (including myself) hanging out and enjoying the delicious dishes at vegan way is a daily occorance when in Pokhara. Tips: the buddhabowl and the super green garden salad are AMAZING, but nothing TOPS the VEGAN DELIGHT PLATE! Thank me later ☺️
Read morePros: The largesg portions, Health focused food, Beautiful location
Cons: Lots of smoking , Waiting time

Restaurant name is a misnomer - Edit
This place should be renamed smoker's way. You would think a cafe/ restaurant naming themselves Vegan way would be a vegan exclusive menu. Maybe it was originally and changed ownership?
Read moreThe menu is hodgepodge of vegan and non vegan.
I had a smoothie bowl which was warm. Not bad, nothing special.
I attempted to go a second time as no staff was coming to my table and every other table in the place was puffing away on cigarettes , I decided to leave.
Maybe I missed the memo about it being more of a smokers cafe than a vegan one. Hence my suggestion to change the name. Clear everything up that way.
Pros: Some vegan options
Cons: Non vegan despite menu, Inattentive staff , Too much smoking

Awesome place...until a strange incident - Edit
Delicious vegan options, but not clearly labeled - the burgers are advertised with vegan aioli but when you ask if the whole burger is vegan they say no (because of the bun). NONE of their burgers is vegan, even here on Happy Cow people posted pictures because they assumed they are vegan. THEY ARE NOT!
Read moreThe atmosphere is very relaxed, but too many guests are smoking weed or cigarettes in the eating area so if you are sensitive to smoke, its sometimes no fun (i left a few times because of the smoke).
I visited this place for a week 1 or 2 times a day, then something very unpleasant happened. I had dinner with friends, but left earlier. After a while they whatsapped me if i paid. Of course i did, i even remembered the dialogue i had with the staff lady. My friends told me that the staff claim i did not pay and pressure them now to pay for me. I was shocked and felt insulted, i spent so much money and time there, this place was my living room, how dare they to say i did not pay?! And even pressuring my friends? Of course my friends believed me and did not pay. I was so angry that i avoided the place for a few days but than decided to go back and see what they say. Well, they said nothing and therefore i see three possibilities:
a) After they managed the invoice that evening, they noticed all ordered food was paid
or
b) they confused me with somebody else
or
c) the lady remembered that i paid.
No idea what it was, but that is no way to treat a customer. So insulting.

Pros: Delicious food, but not many vegan options , Most cozy atmosphere in Pokhara

Namaste,
Read moreWe are extremely sorry to hear that you had a unpleasant experience at our café. Our whole team would like to apologize regarding your inconvenience, We would be happy if you can clarify the mentioned things above.
Firstly, None of our crew members wrote you on what's app regarding the payment message that you have claimed, we never asked or force your friend to pay your invoice neither we ask anyone's payment with the third person. If this was the case you could asked and discuss with us in detail in your next visit which you did not, instead you took the picture of our menu without our permission.
Regarding the burger you are claiming, we don't sell vegetarian burger claiming to be vegan, we use our own sourdough bread for vegan option.
Please note that we are not advertising ourselves as a fully vegan restaurant as some of our food menu uses eggs and milk too. However, we have plenty of vegan option for salad, smoothies, coffee, burger, toast and many more.
We are one of the popular happening cafe in town so we do have lots of people who smoke but we also provide non smoking areas for our guest upon request.
We hope to meet your requirements and clear the misunderstanding and misleading information in your next visit.
Have a wonderful day!!

Large portions, labelled vegan items - Edit
A bit pricier than other restaurants, but only by a bit and the portions are huge. Food is served quite quickly and there’s nice seating at the back with a view of the lake. Super hippie vibe with a lot of weed smoking. A bit disappointed at the limited vegan options, but they are labelled and you can definitely modify as needed.
Read morePros: Vegan options, Generous portions, Range of Western dishes
Cons: Not that many vegan options despite the cafe name

The burger from the picture is NOT vegan, no of their burgers is. I asked and they said its not (because of the bun).

CRACK. dear vegan way i love you, good eats

One of my favourite places in Pokhara - Edit
Really like this place, I’ve been a few times in Pokhara. My favourite is the Thali for 450 rupees.
Read moreThe staff are really friendly and most of the time it’s very chilled out (except when some customers play music).
They have a good amount of vegan options, everything else is vegetarian. I’d love to see a vegan dessert option other than an energy ball though!

Pros: Friendly staff , Good amount of vegan options
Cons: Not actually vegan despite the name , Needs some vegan desserts!
