There is a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options round the city
Long gone are the days vegan and vegetarian menus were considered dull and boring.. Liverpool has a fantastic selection of delicious restaurants, with many catering exclusively to vegan and veggie diets.
The vegan lifestyle is frequently promoted as a healthier alternative to meat-heavy omnivore diets. However, it's not all about steamed vegetables, rice and quinoa, as venues are focusing on great comfort food to attract customers.
Thankfully, you won't have to search far for healthy burgers, Buddha bowls and more. Not only can you find all your favourite dishes including loaded fries and stacked burgers, but some venues are receiving praise from critics nationwide for providing the best food around.
Here's our insider's guide to some of the city's top spots for vegans and vegetarians to dine out. The list isn't exhaustive, so do share your favourites in the comment section below.
Down the Hatch: Down the Hatch opened in 2018, as a vegetarian and vegan "junk food" restaurant. It's located in the city centre, down a set of blink-and-you'll-miss-them stairs on Duke Street. The restaurant boasts exposed brick walls and atmospheric mood lighting.
Its impressive menu has gained a loyal army of fans and even won "best vegan eatery" in the British Restaurant Awards.

Woo Tan Scran: The plant-based Asian-inspired chippy delivers from its home in Down The Hatch.
WooTanScran whips up the best food you can find without feeling bad, bloated or broke afterwards. It's a firm favourite for takeaway lovers who follow its every move across the city to make sure they can dine as much as possible.
- Basement, 62 Duke Street, L1 5AA
Sanskruti: Tucked away in the business district, this vegetarian and vegan curry house is a hidden gem.
While most Indian restaurants are very veggie friendly Sanskruti has no meat or fish on the menu at all but does have dishes you’ve probably never heard of, including street food like kacchi dabeli and bateta vada, as well as main courses from Punjab, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
They claim you can’t find many of their dishes anywhere else in Liverpool.

Bundobust: Bondobust is a veggie Indian street food and craft ale combination found above the Greggs on Bold Street.Guests can expect canteen-style informal dining that rests on the solid base of okra fries and collaborations with notable brewers.
The menu changes often and food is served on paper plates. A bunch of friends and a combo platter will guarantee good times.
- Bundobust, First Floor, 17-19 Bold St, Liverpool L1 4DN
The Vibe: The Vibe is a stylish vegan venue located in the city centre. Complete with a cosy interior boasting velvet seats and an abundance of shrubbery, it's a peaceful spot to kick back and relax.
It opened in autumn of 2020 offering a plant-based menu boasting vegan versions of eggs, tuna, salmon and more.
If you're after tasty, dippy eggs that are entirely plant-based, then The Vibe is the place to visit. The rest of the menu is equally as impressive with comforting pasta dishes, bagels and more.

PICNIC: PICNIC didn't obtain the best in the North West title for no reason. Not only is everything on the menu delicious and great to look at, but all of it is also healthy and flips the idea of what fast food can be on its head.
Taking classics like loaded fries, shakes and burgers, PICNIC adds its own signature twist so eating out finally feels as good as it tastes.
- 509a Smithdown Rd, Liverpool L15 5AE
Hume: Hume is a new arrival on the scene, specialising on health, sustainability and community.
All of Hume's dishes are created without stabilisers, emulsifiers, added colourings, flavourings or sweeteners.
Some of the key dishes include Korean-style pak choi and crispy sesame tofu, lion’s mane steak and what Allan calls "the ultimate beans on toast".
