In the past year, we’ve seen the avocado rise to the top among matcha, poké, and turmeric. However, the avocado trend is still gaining popularity and doesn’t seem to be leaving the menus soon. It’s healthy and yet ever-so-slightly indulgent. On Instagram alone, the search term #avocadotoast has over 100,000 posts. You could say that finding who has the best avocado toast has become a factor to help you decide where you’ll brunch next.
The avocado trend hasn’t been so popular in Europe until recently with Amsterdam deciding to open a new sensational concept: The Avocado Show. Europe’s first ever restaurant with an all-avocado menu. Launching in February 2017, this will be perfect for anyone who is ready to eat plenty of avocados in all forms and shapes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
But until then, we’re still going to be looking for the best hotspots to help us get our avocado fix. Make sure to check out these nine spots with the best avocado toast suitable for vegan, vegetarians, flexitarians, pescetarians, you name it. Everyone deserves an avocado toast.
