The vegan capital of Scotland doesn’t disappoint. Here are a few options for those who favour plant-based options
Thanks in no small part to Craig Tannock and his vegan venues Stereo, Mono, The Flying Duck and The 78 (The Old Hairdressers doesn’t serve food), Glasgow has had a reputation as a friendly city to those of a plant-based disposition since the early noughties. The former four still dish up reliably good food, particularly Stereo, which serves everything from pickled tempeh and dan dan noodles to seared mushroom steak.
In 2013, Glasgow was named the most vegan-friendly city in the UK and, in the years since, there’s been an explosion in vegan and vegetarian eateries. The pick of the bunch is Sylvan, a natural wine bar and restaurant on Woodlands Road with a menu that straddles both Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine. As a small-plates affair, not all dishes necessarily gel together, but each is delicious in its own right.
Continuing the Asian theme, long-standing Vietnamese restaurants Non Viet (on Sauchiehall Street and Great Western Road) now have their own vegan-only venue in Partick, where bowls of pho and hue noodle soup are deeply savoury; mushrooms, seitan and tofu delivering protein in heady, spicy broths. Perhaps the best vegan food can be found in an unassuming spot on Dumbarton Road, where Suissi Vegan Kitchen has been knocking out Asian-inspired cuisine under the radar for years. Try their lion’s mane mushroom rendang, gyoza and laksa ramen.
There are also several successful plant-based bakeries, in particular The Dorky French on Parnie Street and Honey Trap on Skirving Street. While the former’s focus is viennoiserie, the latter is more varied, with tarts, cakes, savoury pies, buns and pastries. Neither disappoints.
