2018 has given us no shortage of healthy food in Hong Kong. With a ton of plant-based dining options across the city, we’re shining a spotlight today on the northern part of the 852 – Kowloon! Blessed with nutritious and delicious cafes and restaurants, there’s a lot to love across the harbour that will wow you with fun flavours and quality ingredients. Offering wholesome and unprocessed options, here are the best local restaurants in Greater Tsim Sha Tsui that take plant-based eating to the next level. 

Green Common Harbour City

After a day of shopping at the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong, recharge and refuel at Green Common for an enjoyable meal of plant-based Asian and Western cuisine. Featuring a menu full of vegan meats from beloved brands like Gardein, Beyond Meat, JUST, and Omnipork, their pasta dishes are outstanding and the Beyond Burgers still top the charts! Come for a casual lunch or dinner and get your grocery shopping done afterward. Entrées start at HKD 68 and up.
