A Growing Vegetarian Food Scene

Gone are the days when vegetarian diners had to settle for a token side salad or a bland mushroom risotto. Liverpool’s chefs and foodies have embraced vegetarian cooking with passion, creativity, and bold global influences.

Today, you’ll find veggie twists on street food classics, hearty comfort dishes, and innovative plant-based plates that will impress even the most committed carnivores. Think halloumi-loaded fries, jackfruit tacos, spiced lentil curries, vegan burgers piled high with toppings, and so much more.

Fully Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants in Liverpool

There are several standout spots in Liverpool that are fully vegetarian or vegan, offering exciting and varied menus without a hint of compromise.

• The Vibe, tucked away near the Royal Albert Dock, is a stylish plant-based café with a menu of smoothie bowls, loaded sandwiches, and nourishing mains — perfect for a healthy lunch or brunch.

• Sanskruti, just outside the city centre, is a must-visit for lovers of Indian cuisine. Their all-vegetarian menu is packed with authentic Gujarati, Punjabi and South Indian dishes, with incredible flavour and plenty of vegan options too.

• Down the Hatch on Duke Street is a cult favourite. While not fully vegetarian, the vast majority of the menu is meat-free, with comfort food at its finest: seitan burgers, vegan mac and cheese, loaded fries and deep-fried cauliflower wings are just the beginning.
