Tapa Mundi is back! Surely, when you have traveled abroad, you will have tried lots of vegan dishes without even knowing they were, since in most international cuisines there are powerful plant-based recipes that are part of your gastronomic idiosyncrasy. Gyozas, ceviche, pizzas... that are prepared without animal protein for the taste of vegans and not so vegans. In Madrid there is more and more vegan offer, and it is no longer necessary to go so far to enjoy these unique flavors. An example of this is world cover, an initiative that has just launched its second edition and was born as a traveling tribute to the Vegan Tapas of the World.

But this time, world cover will focus on a single continent: Asia . Between June 13 and 19, this vegan journey through the varied Asian gastronomy will join 14 of the best vegan restaurants in the capital. Diverse, delicious and sustainable tapas a more than moderate price: €3.50 each.
