More Than Salad started out as a worldwide directory of vegetarian and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.

After much time and consideration, I decided that rather than try to catalog every single restaurant and watch the database fall slowly out of date, instead I will use this site and all of the technology I have amassed over the years to instead chronicle my vegan journey which has so far taken me to something like 25 countries and maybe 1000 restaurants. I have taken thousands of pictures as well which you'll find spread throughout the site.

The site is currently in a transitional state so some old functionality persists and new functionality will appear.

I have been vegan for 9 years but because many of these restaurants are in places where vegan is an unknown concept, many of the restaurants also serve meat. I simply look for the best vegan meals I can find wherever I happen to be.

For more about me (Dan) the guy who created and runs this site, try reading this blog post.

Anyone can create an account here. Accounts are free and always will be, so sign up if you're interested. You can read about all these restaurants, write comments about the restaurants or the pictures, share them with friends on Facebook, make lists of restaurants that are your favorites or that you want to try, and perhaps find a nice place to have a great vegetarian or vegan meal somewhere in the world.

Please ask questions and offer suggestions about anything (including places you think I should go eat of course) and thanks for your interest in the site!
