This stylish restaurant has plenty of vegan options on its menu. Think bagels, soups, smoothies and vibrant seasonal salads, served with a soy, almond or coconut latte. It’s also dog-friendly, so you can bring your animal best friend along, too.
The Grub & Grog Shop
Rather than marking vegan dishes with a “V”, this restaurant marks meat dishes with an “M”, meaning that plant-based dishes are front and centre on the menu! Enjoy comforting treats such as homemade crumpets, vegetable fritters or roasted squash, all washed down (as you may have guessed from the name) with a selection of specialty beers and ales.

This award-winning restaurant has been serving up vegetarian Indian home cooking since 1986. Vegan items are plentiful and clearly marked on the menu, including wickedly spicy curries, tempting sides and creamy desserts.
Mrs Atha’s
This independent coffee shop is a great spot for a quality brew. There are two speciality vegan cakes on the menu, but make sure you request them on your visit, as they aren’t always on display.
Out of This World
This lovely health-food store is your one-stop shop for those hard-to-find vegan ingredients, organic local produce and ethical make-up and toiletries.
Little Tokyo
It’s easy to spot vegan items on the menu of this Japanese gem. Go for a steaming bowl of vegetable ramen or classic veggie yakisoba or splash out with a bento box filled with vegan chicken teriyaki or tofu steak.
