Plant lovers rejoice, Lexington Vegan Week is upon us. From now until Sun., Jan. 9 stop into any of the 18 participating restaurants to get their ~$10 Vegan Week Specials.

The idea came to fruition last year when Sarabeth Brownrobie wanted a way to celebrate + support the talents of local chefs. She said that often when going out to eat, vegans have limited options to choose from. Having a week dedicated to vegan options helps those who follow a plant-based lifestyle, dine with ease.

We’re listing out eight local spots participating in Lexington Vegan Week below, but the full list can be found here.
