Yes, we do have a vegetarian option on our menu—we offer a veggie sandwich and a side of fries. You can ask your server for this meal instead of the regular meat version, but it is not available as a default order.
We also offer several vegan options: one is the McAloo Tikki burger, which comes with a potato patty and spicy sauce. We also offer our veggie wrap, which has cheese and mayonnaise if you’d like to add those toppings. Our hash browns are vegan as well.
The vegetarian and vegan menu has been around since the late 2000s, when McDonald’s first introduced their McVegan burger. The McVegan burger is a vegan burger that can be ordered as a Quarter Pounder or a Double Quarter Pounder.
The McVegan burger is made with a soy patty and comes served on a sesame seed bun with lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard. It can also be ordered as part of the Vegan McCafe sandwich meal.

Is there a vegetarian or vegan burger at McDonald’s?
Hi! I’m sorry to hear about your frustration. I understand how frustrating it can be when you’re looking for something and don’t know if it’s available at McDonald’s.
The good news is that there is a vegetarian burger at McDonald’s—it just isn’t called “Vegetarian” or “Vegan.” Instead, you’ll have to ask an employee for the McVeggie.
I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Do McDoubles contain milk, eggs or animal products?
All of our sandwiches are prepared on fresh-baked buns. We use a proprietary blend of vegetables and seasonings to create the “special sauce” for our Big Macs, Quarter Pounders with Cheese, Hamburger and Cheeseburgers.
To answer your question about milk and eggs: no, none of the ingredients in our sandwiches contain milk or eggs (or any other animal products).
