The restaurant's website describes it as a "bar, café, and deli focused on artisanal, plant-based offerings" and "plant forward cuisine." HappyCow lists it as a fully vegan restaurant, confirmed by multiple reviews. The chef explores the plant world, and the menu is vegan by default. This is a dedicated plant-based kitchen, making it structurally safe for vegans.

Fela's Vegetarian Restaurant

San Juan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Reported fully vegan since January 2023; multiple HappyCow reviewers confirm all food is vegan. A single March 2023 review questioned whether Boca soy patties contain dairy and staff could not confirm, but later staff stated all food is vegan. Uber Eats menu lists vegan items (tofu scramble, soy sausage). Kitchen is structurally dedicated to plant-based food.

Berlingeri

San Juan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

HappyCow lists the venue as 'Vegetarian' and 'Vegan-friendly' with 'Lots of vegan dishes available'. Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm the food is entirely vegan except for a gyro and one other item with yogurt sauce. The venue's own description and 55 reviews consistently describe the menu as vegan or mostly vegan. However, no formal accreditation is cited, and the venue is not 100% dedicated vegan (some non-vegan items exist).

Poliniza

San Juan · Bakery · Vegan

The venue's own website describes itself as a plant-based (origen vegetal) dessert bakery, implying all items are vegan. No animal products are used, suggesting a dedicated vegan kitchen, though the site does not display per-dish allergen marking.

Planet Ambrosia

Gurabo ·

The venue's own website brands itself as 'Manjar Gastronómico Vegano' (Vegan Gastronomic Delight) and focuses on plant-based proteins. Multiple community reviews confirm all food is vegan, including desserts. While no formal certification exists, the venue's clear marketing and consistent reports strongly indicate a dedicated vegan kitchen.

Cafe Berlin

San Juan · Brunch · Cafe · €⁠€⁠€

Venue offers a dedicated vegan section on its menu, clearly labeled according to multiple HappyCow reviews. The kitchen is shared and serves meat, including Puerto Rican and international dishes. Staff are aware and options are marked, but no dedicated fryer or prep area has been confirmed.

Govinda's

San Juan · Vegetarian

HappyCow lists the venue as 'Vegan-friendly' and 'Vegetarian'. Multiple reviews confirm the menu is clearly labelled for vegan options, with staff described as helpful and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is not 100% dedicated vegan (it also serves lacto-vegetarian dishes with dairy), and there is no formal accreditation. The owner-led Hare Krishna ethos strongly supports vegetarian/vegan practice, but the structural evidence points to a marked menu with shared prep rather than a fully dedicated vegan kitchen.

Bohiques Rest & Bar

San Juan · · €⁠€

Menu items marked with a 'Vegan' icon include Gandules en escabeche, Ensalada de la Casa, Repollo Relleno, Arroz blanco, and Vegetales sides. The kitchen also prepares non-vegan dishes in the same space.

Lana's Healthy Bistro

San Juan · Cafe · Vegan

Venue has a separate Menu Vegano page listing dishes such as Hummus Power Bowl, Mediterranean Power Bowl With Beyond Meat, and Vegan Taco Power Bowl. HappyCow categorises it as 'vegan-friendly' with a separate vegan menu and five positive vegan reviews. Serves meat in the same kitchen; no dedicated vegan prep area.

Atabey Condado

San Juan · Brunch

Menu explicitly labels two dishes as 'VEGAN' (Vegan Coissant, Vegan Tart Slice). HappyCow lists as 'Veg-options' with many vegan reviews confirming options like mofongo, tacos, cheesecake. The kitchen is shared with meat; no dedicated vegan prep area is mentioned.

St. Germain Bistro Bar

San Juan · Vegan · Brunch

The menu marks vegan dishes with a Vg label. Examples include a vegan soup served with sourdough toast and a vegan steak sandwich. The text does not address cross-contact risk. The kitchen is shared, and no dedicated equipment is mentioned. The restaurant is reliable for the marked vegan items, but diners with strict dietary requirements should confirm kitchen practices with staff.

el Refrán

San Juan · · €⁠€

HappyCow lists the venue as 'Serves meat, vegan options available' with a 'Veg-options' category. A vegan reviewer (shomshom, Jan 2026) reports that tostones, amarillos, rice and beans, and grilled veggies are vegan, but the mofongo is made with butter and not vegan even without bacon. The reviewer notes the current menu does not list anything as vegetarian or vegan. Another vegan reviewer (iheartplants, Mar 2025) says staff can accommodate dishes to be vegan. No dedicated vegan kitchen, no marked menu, and cross-contamination risk is present as the venue serves meat.

Lela's Eatery

San Juan · Brunch · €⁠€

Lela's Eatery offers a few vegan options, including an explicitly named 'VEGAN BREAKFAST' dish (scrambled tofu) on the menu. HappyCow categorises it as 'Veg-options (Lacto/Ovo)' and notes 'vegan options available'. However, the kitchen also serves meat and dairy (eggs, cheese, bacon, chicken). Multiple vegan diners have reported that labelled vegan items may contain dairy — a reviewer noted the homemade coconut yogurt uses a dairy milk starter (not vegan), another found butter on avocado toast, and a third reported creamy non-vegan dressing on the side salad. Staff knowledge is praised by some but contradicted by others. There is no dedicated vegan prep area or fryer.

Paulina Escanes Restaurant

Vegan options are explicitly listed on HappyCow and praised in multiple reviews (vegan cauliflower tacos, eggplant dip). The venue is not fully vegan but offers clearly identifiable vegan dishes. No dedicated vegan kitchen or fryer; shared equipment expected.

San Juan · Modern European · Vegan · €⁠€⁠€

Menu has a dedicated 'VEGAN' section and marks vegan options on some dishes. However, the kitchen is shared and a HappyCow review reported a dairy cross-contamination incident, indicating unreliable accommodation. No dedicated vegan prep area.
