VSTEP B1, B2, C1 Speaking Part 2: Solution Discussion

- Question:

You're opening a restaurant in your town. Would it serve Italian cuisine, Mexican food, or vegan dishes?

- Answer:

Given the growing awareness and adoption of plant-based diets, I'd choose to serve vegan dishes at my restaurant. While Italian and Mexican cuisines are both popular, they are also widely available, meaning there's significant competition in these areas.

Opening a vegan restaurant would meet a specific, growing demand, catering not only to vegans but also those who are health-conscious, have dietary restrictions, or are simply curious about plant-based diets. Additionally, with increasing concerns about sustainability and the environmental impact of meat consumption, offering a vegan menu aligns with these global trends.

Of course, this doesn't mean foregoing the elements of Italian or Mexican cuisines. Incorporating elements of these into a vegan menu could provide familiar tastes in a novel way, ensuring appeal to a wide variety of diners. So, considering market trends, potential differentiation, and environmental factors, I would opt for a vegan restaurant.
