Davao — Nestled at Door A of the Values School Inc. Building on Ruby Street, Marfori Heights, The Vegan Dinosaur has become a cornerstone of the health-conscious dining scene in Davao City. Inspired by Australian café culture, this 100% plant-based establishment offers a compassionate approach to dining, proving that healthy, cruelty-free food can be both flavorful and satisfying. With its cozy, trendy atmosphere, the café provides an inviting space for everyone—from dedicated vegans to curious foodies looking to explore vibrant, whole-food dishes.
A Menu Crafted with Compassion
The café’s menu is a testament to the versatility of plant-based ingredients, focusing on whole foods rather than relying on processed mock meats. Diners can choose from a diverse selection of hearty meals, such as the fan-favorite black bean burger or the Spiced Asian plate, which features teriyaki tofu, black rice, and kimchi. For those seeking lighter fare, the café offers nutrient-dense smoothie bowls, fresh salads, and various tortilla wraps, including a popular pulled jackfruit option. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared to be oil-free, raw, or gluten-free, with the menu clearly labeling options to accommodate guests with specific dietary needs or allergies.
Visiting The Vegan Dinosaur
Open daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, the café welcomes guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, offering services that include dine-in, takeout, and delivery. While the café is widely regarded as a great value, prices typically range between ₱500 and ₱1,000 per person, reflecting the quality of the fresh, organic, and often imported ingredients used. To maintain its commitment to a strictly vegan environment, the establishment upholds a policy regarding outside food to ensure the integrity of its plant-based mission.
