Chains and independent restaurants in Los Angeles offer plant-based launches and specials to support locals trying Veganuary in the new year.
(Los Angeles, California – January 11, 2023) – Restaurants throughout Los Angeles are offering promotions and specials all month long to celebrate Veganuary, the global campaign that encourages people to try vegan in January and beyond. Every January, businesses around the world vie with one another to bring out more, bigger, and better vegan menus to capitalize on the huge popularity of Veganuary.
Millions have signed up to take the Veganuary pledge since the campaign’s inception in 2014. The steadily increasing interest in vegan foods nationwide and regionally is being met with more options from restaurants with Veganuary’s support. In fact, Techonomic’s 2020 Generational Consumer Trend Report found that 41% of millennials said they enjoy trying new plant-based foods and beverages at restaurants. Veganuary is working with more and more restaurants helping to meet this demand with more inventive preparations of meat and dairy alternatives, more plant-forward dishes, and more choice overall.
This year, Veganuary participants can look forward to tons of great special offers and discounts from participating restaurants in Los Angeles, including:
