Taking the crown of the most vegan-friendly city 2022 is Edinburgh with a whopping 642 vegan restaurants and 42 Uber Eats options offering delicious plant-based food delivered straight to your door.

You should never be short of a tasty vegan meal if you find yourself in Scotland’s capital city.

Runner up in the list is Chester, missing out on the top spot with just nine Uber Eats restaurants and the cost of fruit and vegetables (staples in a vegan diet) is also slightly higher than Edinburgh.

However, with a total of 135 vegan restaurants to visit in the city, Chester is still an attractive place to visit for the vegan foodie.

Comfortably making it into the top 10, Brighton and Hove are flying the flag for meat-free at number six.
