It’s not a perfect replacement, but searching OpenStreetMap via https://overpass-turbo.eu/ with a query like
[out:json][timeout:25];
(
nwr["diet:vegan"~"yes|only"]({{bbox}});
nwr["cuisine"~"vegan"]({{bbox}});
);
out geom;
can be useful and is often more up-to-date with respect to restaurants that actually still exist.

Thanks for posting. I haven’t used Happy Cow, but I’ve been getting deeper into OSM. I’ll definitely make a custom filter in OsmAnd for this.
As other people have said, the friction seems to be the quality of the data on OSM. Personally I’m trying to update the data of all the veg places by me. If anybody else is interested, here are some resources:
Are there any other recommended fields? I would do hours, toilets, website, etc. Another commenter mentioned
website:menuwhich is awesome but I didn’t even know about it… I’m still kind of n00b.
