The 1st October is World Vegetarian Day, which aims “to promote the joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism”. Throughout the world, some people refrain from eating meat on sacred-held days. On Good Friday, Catholics fast and do not eat meat, while a number of Chinese become vegetarian on two days during the lunar new year.
Meanwhile, a growing trend towards vegetarianism has also developed among the youth. For, to many, vegetarianism is not just not eating meat but it is an inner conviction based on belief and philosophy that has become a lifestyle.
Because Vegetarian Restaurants are not very popular and hard to come by, one does have to search for them or settle for salads, or bland and boring food.
To help you find vegetarian restaurants in a number of main destinations in Indonesia, below is a list that caters specifically to vegetarians, offering tasty vegetarian meals.
