Top ten vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Liverpool according to TripAdvisor

National Vegetarian Week encourages people to think about the food they consume and if it would be possible to make a lifestyle switch.

Many people choose vegan or vegetarian diets as they are more environmentally friendly and one of the easiest ways to reduce personal carbon emissions.

For others it’s a choice based on animal welfare, or health reasons - compared with meat eaters, vegetarians tend to consume less saturated fat and cholesterol.

Or maybe you just fancy a change.

Special mentions go to...

Now we know there’s no shortage of purely plant-based restaurants in Liverpool, but there are also some great venues around the city that cater to omnivores - if not all diners in the group wants to go vegetarian.

Mowgli

With the original Mowgli still located on Bold Street, a larger premises on Water street and additional venues located up and down the country, the Indian street food restaurant has a cult following thanks to founder Nisha Katona and the flavourful food served in her restaurants. Chat bombs, treacle tamarind fries and mango lassi are just some of the veggie-friendly menu items on offer.

Maray

If you’re heading to Maray, which has venues at the Royal Albert Dock, Allerton Road and Bold Street, then there’s one thing you have to try, and that’s their famous Disco Cauliflower. Flavoured with tahini, chermoula, and harissa whilst adorned with pomegranates and flaked almonds, it elevates the vegetable to a whole new level.

Carousel Cheese Company

The Carousel Cheese Company is Liverpool’s first revolving cheese carousel. Featuring the best of the British Isles, you can find cheese, crackers and wines to pair alongside them - all presented on a revolving sushi style conveyor belt. It’s just one of the offers from The GPO Food Hall in the Metquarter.

Madre

Madre serves up authentic Mexican food, and their courtyard at the Albert Dock is a real sun trap. With tacos, nachos and quesadillas, which pack a punch. Their grilled corn on the cob with chipotle aioli, lime and cheese is one of the highlights on their menu.
