We're spoiled for choice when it comes to vegan food here in Glasgow.
Whether you're a long-term veggie or just flirting with the idea of going plant-based, we've put together a list of the top ten vegan eateries (in no particular order) from all over the city for you to explore.
Stereo - Renfield Lane
Stereo cafe bar in the city centre has a solid reputation within the Glasgow vegan community thanks to its relaxed vibe, great food and gig space downstairs.
Their newly revamped menu features exciting additions like banana blossom tacos alongside the classic stereo seitan burger.
The Hug and Pint - Great Western Road
Trust us when we say that the mushroom rice pudding from the Hug and Pint is a worthy rival for any sweet version of the school dinner classic.

Saramago Café - Sauchiehall Street
If you’re looking for a delicious vegan meal in a beautiful setting then head to Saramago café in the centre for contemporary art.
Their menu changes throughout the year to showcase the best of seasonal produce.
We recommend their mezze platter which is a mouth-watering selection of ‘baba ghanoush, marinated peppers, artichokes & sun-dried tomatoes, tenderstem broccoli with tahini sauce, beetroot with orange dressing & toasted seeds, salad and olives - served with homemade bread’
Zilch Deli - Norfolk Street
Long term vegans will be familiar with the team behind Zilch Deli, who started out producing vegan cheese as the Nutcrafter Creamery.
They now run this fully plant-based deli in Laurieston which is the perfect lunch spot with daily salad box options and home-made filled baked baguettes.

Guaranteed to leave you feeling nourished.
The 78 - Kelvinhaugh Street
The 78 is a laid back vegan eatery in Finnieston where ‘the food is delightfully done at prices that buck the trend for the area.’
Pull up a chair next to their open fireplace and enjoy simple yet tasty small plates like pan con tomate or corn tostadas with salsa Criolla.

Four words that will convince you to visit? Vegan pizza crunch supper.

Serenity now is the answer to all your plan-based brunch cravings.
Their s’mores pancakes with ‘toasted marshmallows, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, maple syrup and digestive crumb’ will definitely be a winner if you happen to have a sweet tooth.
