The vegan community may be small. Researchers estimate its less than 1 percent of the population. However, there's no question that the movement is growing and that extends to restaurant offerings.
Those who practice vegan eating habits refrain from eating meat or dairy products. Locally, there are some restaurants that offer vegan menu options.
Here's a list you can use if you're vegan or interested in checking out some vegan dishes:
- *Consciousness Blossoms*, 3390 Tampa Rd. Palm Harbor, Fla.: Breakfast, lunch and dinner options can be found at this Palm Harbor favorite. The tempeh, vegetables and rice are among the yummy vegan dishes offered at this restaurant.
- *Ozonoa Pizza*, 404 Orange St. North Ozona, Fla.: This restaurant is a favorite for those in the know. In addition to pizza, subs and wings this restaurant offers vegan variations to their traditional favorites including their homemade garlic knots.
- *Rawk Star Cafe,* 32522 US Highway 19 N Palm Harbor, Fla.: This restaurant opened in 2010 and offers cafe items like salads, burgers and sandwiches - much of it vegan. The vegan pizza is a crowd favorite. They also offer a wide variety of teas and smoothies.
