D
La Zanahoria
This entirely meat-free godsend for vegetarians is a great place for lunch, moments from the zócalo and the Museo Amparo. The restaurant is split into two – the express service area (including a juice bar and a health food shop) in the front and the more relaxed service of the spacious interior colonial courtyard where everything from veggie hamburguesas to nopales rellenos (stuffed cactus paddles) are served up.

Vegetariano Madero
Despite the austere entrance, there’s a lively restaurant upstairs where a pianist plinks out old favorites. The meatless menu includes a range of tasty variations on Mexican standards. Balcony seating lets you observe the street activity. A nearby street-level branch, the Restaurante Vegetariano (Filomena Mata 13), displays the day’s offerings out front.

Restaurant Hacienda Xaybe’h d’Camara
Set a block back from the highway opposite Hotel Chichén Itzá, this is a large, rather fancy place with nice grounds. It’s popular with tours, but the food is a bit overpriced; the selection of salads makes it a good option for vegetarians. Diners can use the swimming pool free of charge!

Govinda Ram
As if you needed it, here’s proof that Tepoz is well and truly central Mexico’s biggest hippie haunt. A Hindu-inspired vegetarian café, Govinda Ram does a range of snacks and full meals, including an excellent Ayurvedic buffet, good coffee and warming evening meals.

Amaro
A romantic dining spot, especially at night, when there’s usually a duo performing ballads. It’s set in the courtyard of the house in which Andrés Quintana Roo – poet, statesman and drafter of Mexico’s Declaration of Independence – was born in 1787. May close at 11pm on slow nights.

Yug Vegetariano
The menu is gastro-heaven for vegetarians and vast enough for most carnivorous folk to find something they fancy – even if it is a soy-substitute burger. Choose from specialties like squash-flower crepes or go the buffet route.
