controversial goose liver delicacy .
As diners discover that non-meatbased dishes , and vegetables , particularly , can be both delicious and elevated , the hope is that more highly acclaimed chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants banish meat from their menus or take the plantbased plunge .
And importantly that more vegan or plant-based restaurants are awarded Michelin stars .
In 2021 , Copenhagen-based plant-based fine-dining restaurant Ark became the first vegan restaurant to be awarded a Michelin Green Star in the Nordics for its innovations in plant-based cuisine . The same year , France also landed its first Michelin star for a vegan restaurant with ONA – a vegan restaurant near Bordeaux helmed by Claire Vallee ( though this has recently closed due to not being able to find enough staff despite being fully booked months in advance ).
And for the first time in Switzerland , a vegan restaurant achieved a Michelin star in 2022 . Helmed by international chef Zineb Hattab , Kle in Zurich works with organic farmers from the surrounding area to dish up vegan cuisine inspired by Moroccan and Mexican dishes . As Spanish-born Hattab puts it –
“ vegetables are the future ”.
