The Laguna Celebrates World Vegan Day with Delicious Plant-based Series of Menu

Although known for local dishes that would usually incorporate meat as its hero dish, Bali’s culture also thrives in cuisine that is extremely vegan-friendly, which makes this island definitely suitable for those who follow a strict no-meat diet.
