How to book like a pro (so every course is vegan)
Email or note dietary needs at reservationSpecify “strict vegan: no fish sauce, shrimp paste, egg, dairy, honey.” Many Michelin-level kitchens build bespoke vegan progressions when they have notice. (IGNIV explicitly requests 24-hour notice for special diets.) Igniv Bangkok
Ask about pairingsSeveral venues offer non-alcoholic/juice pairings that complement vegan menus—worth requesting when you reserve. (Mia’s vegan tasting is published on their site.) Mia Restaurant Bangkok
Confirm stocks & saucesThai kitchens may default to fish sauce/prawn stock for umami; a quick reconfirmation on arrival keeps the experience seamless. (The restaurants above are accustomed to this.)
Consider lunchWeekday or weekend lunch formats (e.g., IGNIV) can be easier to book while showcasing the chef’s style. Igniv Bangkok
Prefer strictly vegan restaurants for fine dining?
If you prefer to only dine at 100% vegan venues, Bangkok offers refined, fully plant-based experiences:
Vegan Mahanakhon — Elevated Thai cuisine in a historic house; entirely plant-based. Official site →Veganmhnk
CANES Plant-based Culinary Lab & Fine-Dining — Innovative, tasting-menu format led by a chef-scientist team; weekends by reservation. Official site → CANES Plant-based Culinary Lab
(Menus and hours evolve—always check the official sites when booking.)
What to expect on the plate
Seasonality & locality: Urban farms, Thai herbs, and regional produce at center stage (Haōma spotlights regenerative sourcing). haoma.dk
Technique without dairy/egg: Stocks, ferments, nut creams, oils, reductions; pastry leans on fruit, cacao, and texture rather than butter. (See Mia’s dedicated Vegan menu.) Mia Restaurant Bangkok
Thoughtful pacing: 5–10+ courses with optional pairings; tasting menus are the smoothest way to ensure full vegan alignment.
