In partial penance for this violently meaty page, here are four of Johannesburg’s best vegan restaurants …
Kaylee’s Eatery
An award-winning, all-vegan deli and restaurant, proving everything can be deliciously veganised, from pizzas to burgers to cakes and milkshakes. Closed on Tuesdays.
47 N Reef Road, Bedfordview, Johannesburg

The Fussy Vegan
Voted the best vegan restaurant in Joburg in 2021 and last year, this small chain has branches in Greenside, Blairgowrie and Fontainebleau. Strong Asian twist, and oodles of cashew cream.

Leafy Greens
The big tofu of the vegan scene.
A bit out of the way but the setting and gourmet excellence make it perfect for a day trip or a big bash.
Plot 328, Rocky Ridge Road, Beyers Naude Drive, Muldersdrift
