Which cities have the best vegan sandwich?

Are these all vegan restaurants?

No. Most of the top-ranked places are fully vegan, but many are regular restaurants that happen to make really good vegan sandwich. Each listing shows a Vegan Friendliness grade (A–E) so you know what to expect before you go.

Each restaurant is scored on how good their vegan sandwich specifically is — not their overall rating. A 4.2-star restaurant with incredible vegan sandwich will rank above a 4.8-star place where it's an afterthought.
