McDonald’s McPlant is a mouthwatering and luscious burger that was introduced by McDonald’s in January 2023 to support veganism. This burger features a sesame seed bun stacked with a specially prepared, juicy plant-based patty co-developed with Beyond Meat®, vegan sandwich sauce, mustard and ketchup, onion, tomato slices, pickles, and a vegan alternative to cheese.
This specially prepared vegan-certified burger is a treat for vegans, and its fame has been increasing day by day since its launch. Like other burgers at McDonald’s UK, this burger is also available as a meal option, where you can choose from two different serving sizes. This burger is no doubt a great option for those who want to avoid meat in their meals without compromising on taste.

Our Review Of McDonald’s McPlant
McPlant has taken the fast food market by storm, and after reading reviews on different forums regarding this famous, delicious and unique burger, I also decided to indulge in this flavorful vegan burger. When I received my meal, from the very first bite, I felt the distinct taste of a juicy patty mixed with fresh vegetables, and the addition of sauces like vegan sandwich, mustard, and ketchup further enhanced the taste of this classic burger.
This burger surely did justice to its fame and price tag, and with a combination of crispy McDonald’s fries and a Coca-Cola drink, it became more satisfying and delicious. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars from me for this exceptional burger by McDonald’s UK.
