Plant power takes root in Cyprus
February 12, 2020
Veganuary might be over but plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular on the island as they are around the rest of the world says ANDREA BUSFIELD
Vegan outlets across the island are not only blossoming, but flourishing with some businesses reporting a threefold increase in sales in the past month, a surge attributed to a combination of Veganuary and the documentary film The Game Changers starring James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan and Lewis Hamilton.
“The response this month has been incredible,” owner of the first fully-vegan restaurant in Paphos Kerry Metcalf said. “There was a steady pick up in business over the past year, but we’ve welcomed many more customers this January, easily three times as many, which is very encouraging.”
