Vegan Food in Liverpool

Ian Jones, Food and Drink Editor

Plant based eating is becoming ever-more popular across the North of England and beyond, and as you’d expect, Liverpool is at the forefront of this new sustainable dining and we’ve rounded up some of the very best vegan food in Liverpool.

Vegan restaurants are far from the underground happenings of yesteryear, and along with the glut of vegan-only diners, you’ll find plenty of standard meat-serving restaurants have jumped on board, along with more than a few major chains. Obviously, places dedicated to vegan (and vegetarian) cuisine are better placed to provide the most high-quality experience, but some of the Johnny-come-latelies deserve a mention too.

And this guide covers the lot. Our main criteria is the tastiest vegan food in Liverpool – it just so happens that this more often comes from the plucky independent venues. So, if you’re at all interested in the future of the planet – or even if you couldn’t care less and just want a healthy meat and dairy-free diet, you’ve come to right place.

Maray Albert Dock

Maray Albert Dock, Unit 4, Britannia Pavilion, Albert Dock, Liverpool, L3 4AD - Visit now

Maray introduced us to Disco Cauliflower and their separate vegan menu is music to our ears. Meat-free isn’t an afterthought here and you’ll find a wide range of mezze, small plates and desserts to choose from. Proof that ‘vegan-friendly’ and ‘fine-dining’ can go together.

The Egg Café

The Egg Café, Top Floor, 16-18 Newington, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 4ED - Visit now

The Egg Cafe describes itself as Liverpool’s foremost vegan (and vegetarian) restaurant and who are we to disagree? The food is reliably excellent, the atmosphere is cheerful without being imposing, and the space itself is fantastic – the loft space of an old Victorian warehouse. Very Liverpool.
