Rating of the best vegetarian restaurants in Samara in 2025

Recently, an increasing number of modern people are striving to lead a healthy lifestyle. An integral part of a healthy lifestyle is not only sports, an active lifestyle, but also proper nutrition. Among the areas of healthy eating, vegetarianism and veganism are distinguished. There are many more specific trends - raw food, fruitarianism, pescatarianism, flexitarianism, etc. Vegetarianism is a broader concept, veganism is one of its types. Vegetarians do not eat only meat (poultry, fish). Vegans (also called “pure vegetarians”) also do not eat animal products (including eggs, milk, honey, and even gelatin).

Some of the strict vegetarians eat only foods free of sugar, gluten, and other additives. Since vegetarianism and veganism impose some restrictions on the menu, it is very difficult for adherents of these areas to find an institution that offers dishes without animal products. In order to make it easier for residents and guests of Samara to find a suitable institution, we will rank the best vegetarian restaurants in the city in 2025.

The main advantages of vegetarianism over veganism

• increases the immune defense of the body;
• general well-being improves;
• due to the fact that eggs and milk are used for food, the diet does not deteriorate and contains all the necessary micro and macro elements, vitamins and nutrients;
• the level of cholesterol decreases, due to which the vessels are cleansed;
• the likelihood of the following diseases is reduced: cardiovascular (atherosclerosis, heart attack, hypertension), cancer of the stomach, intestines and liver, type 2 diabetes mellitus;
• increases overall life expectancy.

• due to the occurrence of a deficiency of many useful elements and vitamins (B12, B2, D, iron, calcium, etc.), the protective properties of the body are reduced, which leads to the occurrence of colds and other diseases;
• fragility of nails and hair loss appear, bones and teeth lose their strength, break easily;
• there may be problems with the gastrointestinal tract, the frequency of menstruation in women;
• increases the likelihood of iron deficiency anemia and various disorders in the thyroid gland;

Many of these claims are not scientifically proven, but it is worth noting that a common difference between vegetarians and vegans is that vegetarian diets are varied and balanced, while vegan menus are very limited, which can lead to a lack of many beneficial nutrients and vitamins. which may lead to some health problems.

Tips for making the right diet

A proper diet is important not only for vegetarians, so every person who wants to look and feel good is advised to follow these tips:

• A hearty breakfast is required, including cereals and legumes. A good addition to these products would be whole grain bread, yogurt, fresh fruit, juice. Many people cannot eat a hearty breakfast, but despite this, it is advisable to try to eat at least yogurt with any fruit.
• Lunch should be even more substantial than breakfast. Since vegetarians eat only plant-based foods, legumes and vegetables should be eaten at lunch. For variety, you can use various seasonings. For dessert, you can treat yourself to sweets and compote.
• Dinner should be light. Do not eat legumes at night, which can lead to increased gas formation. It is best to prepare a vegetable salad with whole grain bread. Various sweets and drinks diversify the dinner.

It is desirable that breakfast, lunch and dinner take place at the same time every day. Between the main meals, you can take small snacks that will restore energy expenditure during the day. In order to diversify the taste of dishes, vegetarians widely use various spices. Oriental spices are most often used: zira, turmeric, coriander, cumin. The first two spices are considered too "strong" and should be used in small quantities, but coriander and cumin can be added to many dishes. It is advisable to buy herbs and spices on the market in a whole form and grind them in a special mortar, since ready-made mixtures are not very tasty due to the use of low-quality raw materials by unscrupulous sellers.
