Vegan Deli Restaurants

Montreal's Gusta Foods is a New Gourmet, Plant-Based Restaurant

— March 25, 2017 — Eco
Although there have been deli-style meat and cheese substitutes for vegans and vegetarians on the market for years, this concept is now being pushed further with the emergence of deli-inspired plant-based restaurants. The newest is Gusta Foods in Montreal, Canada, which prides itself on offering mock deli meats, cheeses and a variety of other gourmet vegan goods.

While the brand has been selling its own products through local stores for quite some time now, it is now opening its own restaurant, providing "the hardcore vegan tasty stuff."

The rise of plant-based eating has inspired a reinvention of fixtures of the meat and dairy industry. Now, there are several non-dairy milkman delivery services, as well as vegan "butcher shops" and delis, complete with counters that show off mock meat and cheese products.
Trend Themes
1. Plant-based Deli Restaurants - The emergence of plant-based deli-inspired restaurants offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to cater to the growing demand for vegan gourmet options.
2. Non-dairy Milkman Delivery Services - The rise of plant-based eating has led to the development of non-dairy milkman delivery services, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity to offer convenient and sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy products.
3. Vegan Butcher Shops - The reinvention of the meat and dairy industry has opened up opportunities for vegan butcher shops to showcase and sell mock meat and cheese products, offering disruptive innovation in the vegan food market.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The plant-based deli restaurant trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the food and beverage industry to cater to the growing demand for vegan and vegetarian options.
2. Grocery and Retail - The rise of non-dairy milkman delivery services creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the grocery and retail industry to meet the increasing demand for plant-based alternatives.
3. Health and Wellness - The emergence of vegan butcher shops aligns with the growing health and wellness industry, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity to offer plant-based meat and cheese substitutes.
