Los Angeles is home to a high volume of vegan restaurant concepts, including Nic's on Beverly, a new venture from Nic Adler, the vegan culinary director of Goldenvoice festivals like Coachella and Eat Drink Vegan. The Los Angeles restaurant and cocktail bar boasts nostalgic decor that draws inspiration from the 70s and 80s, as well as dishes that feature house-made vegan-friendly cheese or eggs. Some of the standout items on the menu include the [Falafel Burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tgi-fridays-vegan-menu) with truffle tahini and harissa-spiced secret sauce, Avocado Crispy Rice with ponzu, citrus fruits and cilantro and even a comforting Vegetable Pot Pie. Notably, no premade plant-based products are on the menu at Nic's on Beverly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rise of Plant-based Eating:** Opportunity for innovative restaurants to create unique and enticing plant-based dishes. - **Nostalgic Decor:** Opportunity for interior design companies to create nostalgic-themed spaces for vegan restaurants. - **House-made Vegan-friendly Ingredients:** Opportunity for food manufacturing companies to develop and supply high-quality vegan-friendly cheese, eggs, and other ingredients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Vegan Restaurants:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in creating freshness-focused, unique vegan dining experiences. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in designing retro-themed interior spaces for vegan restaurants. - **Food Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in producing and supplying house-made vegan-friendly ingredients for restaurants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Vegan Fast Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-charlies.md) - [Vegan Pizza Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-pie.md) - [Restaurant-Targeted Vegan Chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daring-foods.md) - [Plant-Based Virtual Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegelicious.md) - [Creamy Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolgreens.md) - [Regional Vegan Dining Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dine-vegan-nashville.md) - [Virtual Vegan Bowl Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-bowls.md) - [Plant-Based Beef Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basic-burger.md) - [Four-Course Festival Feasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outstanding-in-the-field.md)
