The American multinational restaurant chain mainly focuses on breakfast items, especially pancakes. The name also hinted at this, since IHOP is an acronym for International House of Pancakes. However, their world-famous pancake isn’t vegan since it contains dairy. So, let’s see how to order vegan at IHOP!
IHOP vegan options
Although it is disappointing that there are no plant-based pancakes, on the other hand, the restaurant spoils us. In short, it is worth visiting.
Breakfast
Unfortunately, neither the pancakes nor the waffles are plant-based. However, you can still fill your stomach.
- Plant-based Sausage Power Combo: While its name is plant-based, it is still only vegetarian. Order it without scrambled eggs and choice the multigrain toast.
- Classic avocado toast: Simple, fresh, and more importantly vegan. You can choose between fresh fruit or hash browns as a side.
- Oatmeal: It is basically made with milk, however, you can order it with water. Not a great choice, still available.
