Being vegetarian or vegan doesn’t mean missing out on lovely food, as so many restaurants and cafes cater for a wide range of dietary requirements.
Liverpool is especially great for those following a plant-based diet, with Nisbets ranking the city as one of the most vegan-friendly places in the UK, with a large selection of cafes, restaurants and retailers.
To make choosing where to eat a little easier, we have created a list of the best place for veggies and vegans to grab a bite in the city, by combining Google Reviews and food hygiene ratings from the Food Standards Agency. Each restaurant has at least 100 reviews and 4.3 stars or more on Google, as well as a five star hygiene rating.
Here are the best* vegan-friendly restaurants and cafes in Liverpool, in alphabetical order. We have used restaurants classed as veggie or vegan by Google, or which have a large number of reviews mentioning veggie and vegan menu items.
