Other vegan options at Venetian

Regardless of World Vegan Day and World Vegan Month, Venetian is home to numerous restaurants with vegan options.

Truth & Tonic



First, let’s look at Truth & Tonic. Chef Pete Ghione broke major ground a couple years ago when he announced the restaurant was converting to entirely vegan. It’s the first — and only — vegan restaurant on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip Ghione’s cuisine focuses on the health benefits eating plant-based bring. Faves are the JUST Egg frittatas which come in a few varieties.

Black Tap



At Black Tap, they’ve got the Impossible burger, a Nashville Hot mushroom burger and more. Plus, there’s the vegan shake. It’s an Instagram-worthy vegan Black and White shake topped with a thick slice of vegan black and white chocolate cake.

Majordomo Meat & Fish

The Asian-American steakhouse and seafood restaurant is vegan-friendly. It’s helmed by celeb chef David Chang (Momofuku) and offers a variety of vegan options. Of note is their vegan mac and cheese. This creamy dish is a favorite (we love it) and is made with fermented chickpeas, giving it a natural parmesan taste. 

Other vegan options at Majordomo include chickpea dip, salad, macaroni, bucatini and veggie crispy rice.

Bouchon

Finally, Thomas Keller’s renowned restaurant has a secret vegan dish — the Vegan Chop. It’s a mix of grain and ‘shrooms chop with season vegetables.
