These Are The Best Vegan Cities In The UK

From plantbasednews.org

A study has ranked the top vegan-friendly cities in the UK based on the number of searchers, restaurants, and positive reviews 

A new market research study has ranked the best vegan cities in the UK.

SIXT, a mobility service provider, reviewed data on tourist search volume for vegan options and the number of vegetarian restaurants, the number with five-star reviews, and other criteria to determine which UK city is the best place for vegans.

According to SIXT, the top 20 vegan cities are London, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bradford, Salford, Birmingham, Brighton, Wolverhampton, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sheffield, Glasgow, Coventry, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham, Cambridge, Wakefield, Cardiff, and Sunderland. While London topped the list, SIXT noted that the UK’s vegan food scene is “flourishing far beyond the capital.”

Bristol was officially the best spot for vegans outside of London, with at least 50 restaurants scoring 4.5 stars or higher on Google. Edinburgh was found to be the best Scottish city for vegans, while Manchester was named the best northern city. SIXT also praised Salford, Cambridge, and Wakefield, all of which have a good ratio of vegan restaurants to residents and plenty of positive restaurant reviews.

“Wakefield, in North Yorkshire, just outside Leeds, may be a smaller city, but it has made a big impact on this list, ranking as the third best city for vegans per capita,” wrote SIXT. “With 127.88 vegan restaurants per capita, and half of those rated 5 stars or higher, Wakefield is a hidden treasure for plant-based travellers.”

The best vegan cities in the world

SIXT also looked at the best vegan cities in the world. London once again topped the list, followed by New York City in the US, Berlin in Germany, Singapore in Singapore, Vienna in Austria, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Paris in France, Seoul in South Korea, Zurich in Switzerland, and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Barcelona, Spain, took 11th place, and is the home of Asanta, a cafe that Happy Cow crowned the single best vegan restaurant in the world for 2025.

Asanta is a fully vegan eatery located in the Sants-Montjuïc district. Its menu includes a range of classic dishes, such as an olive, truffle, shiitake, and mozzarella focaccia; a mozzarella, tomato, olive, and roasted red pepper focaccia; shakshouka, a tomato-poached egg dish from the Greater Maghreb; and the cafe’s “classic” eggs Benedict.

Amsterdam makes history as the first capital city to ban meat advertising in public spaces

From veganfoodandliving.com

Amsterdam has become the first capital city in the world to vote to ban the advertising of meat in public spaces, in a landmark move designed to support healthier diets and reduce climate emissions

The Dutch capital has approved changes to its local bylaws that will prohibit adverts for both meat products and fossil fuels across public areas such as billboards and bus shelters in a bid to reshape public spaces in line with its climate and health goals.

On Thursday (January 22nd), councillors voted to amend the city’s General Local Regulation (APV), formalising restrictions that had previously been implemented through voluntary agreements with advertisers since 2020.

The proposal was jointly tabled by GroenLinks (Green/Left) and the Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the Animals), and was approved by 27 of the 45 seats on Amsterdam’s municipal council.

Amsterdam joins other Dutch municipalities such as Utrecht and Zwolle in banning meat and fossil fuel advertising, which voted to ban advertising from buses, shelters, and all screens visible in public, because of the impact on health and the climate in 2023.

Additionally, other Dutch cities, including The Hague, Delft and Nijmegen, have already introduced similar advertising bans, but Amsterdam is the first capital city to enact a ban on meat adverts.

The ban is expected to apply to advertising for meat, air travel, cruises and petrol-powered cars in public spaces. Shopkeepers will still be permitted to advertise products on their own premises, meaning the restrictions will not affect posters displayed inside shops.

Restrictions on meat advertising

The move builds on earlier action taken elsewhere in the Netherlands. In 2022, the town of Haarlem became the first non-capital city in the world to restrict meat advertising. Following that decision, seven other Dutch cities began work on similar measures, with Amsterdam now becoming the third to officially implement such a ban.

Research suggests the policy reflects public opinion. A majority of Dutch consumers support a shift towards more plant-based diets, yet current protein consumption in the Netherlands still stands at around 60% animal protein. This is well above the Dutch Health Council’s recommended balance of 40% animal protein and 60% plant-based protein.

The environmental case is also clear. Animal-based foods are responsible for around twice as many greenhouse gas emissions as plant-based foods.

“We know that most of the carbon emissions in the food system comes from meat production so it makes sense for Amsterdam to restrict the advertising of meat as part of its strategy to promote food system change,” Joey Cramer, Director of ProVeg Netherlands, said.

“This policy supports Amsterdam’s existing goal of ensuring their citizens’ diets are 50% plant-based by 2050. Such a shift is not only good for the climate, it’s good for people’s health and, of course, for animals,” Cramer said.

When will Amsterdam’s ban on meat adverts start?

There has been some uncertainty around the timing of the ban. Although the measure is set to kick in from 1 May, Alderman Melanie van der Horst previously warned that implementing it too quickly could be problematic.

Speaking earlier this week, she said the city would need a “reasonable transition period” and cautioned that there could be legal implications.

Concerns have already been raised by advertisers and trade associations, some of whom have described the ban as symbolic or legally risky. Critics argue it could restrict freedom of speech and create challenges for companies, including those trying to promote more sustainable products.

Supporters, however, say the policy is about reshaping public space and increasing awareness of the climate impact of everyday consumption.

Inside Amsterdam’s Vegan Food Scene: A Tour Of The City’s Best Plant-Based Eats

From plantbasednews.org

Have we died and gone to (vegan) heaven? 

Amsterdam may be known for its canals and cobblestone charm, but for plant-based food lovers, it is a paradise of pastries, street eats, and standout dining. Mina Rome, known for her YouTube channel where she shares vegan recipes and lifestyle content, recently explored the city with her mom and turned the trip into a full-blown food tour.

A Berlin-based creator, Rome takes viewers along as she spends six days in Amsterdam, comparing the city’s offerings to her hometown. “Amsterdam might just be one of the vegan-friendliest places I’ve ever been to,” she says. While noting the higher prices, she finds the variety and creativity of options “just a lot more fun.”

Here’s a breakdown of her plant-powered culinary adventure.

Margo’s

Rome kicks things off at Margo’s, a charming fully vegan bakery that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. “It is absurd how good their pastries are,” she raves, returning for a second visit because once clearly wasn’t enough. The pistachio Danish is described as “super delicate,” but it’s the almond croissant that steals the show – “possibly the best…I have ever tasted,” Rome says. On her second visit, she tries their pain au chocolat, which she finds is equally impressive. Margo’s also offers an enticing line-up of vegan sandwiches that Rome didn’t get to try, but definitely wanted to. Margo’s has two locations in the city.

Saint-Jean

Just a short stroll from Margo’s, Rome hits Saint-Jean, a sort of “older sister” to Margo’s, in her eyes, and even more famous. This fully plant-based bakery has two separate storefronts: one dedicated to sweet pastries, the other to savoury dishes and sandwiches. Her pick? The pistachio cruffin – a buttery croissant-muffin hybrid filled with pistachio cream. “I think I briefly blacked out eating this,” she confesses, calling it possibly the best thing she’s ever eaten. Saint-Jean’s line-up is wild in the best way, and Rome admits she was jealous Berlin doesn’t have something like it.

Veganees

YouTube/Mina RomeVeganees is located in Amsterdam’s trendy De Pijp neighbourhood

Located in the trendy De Pijp neighbourhood, Veganees delivers mouth-watering Asian-inspired vegan street food in a laid-back setting. Rome and her mom go for the gochujang cauliflower wings (“which I need to recreate ASAP”) and a variety of bao buns, all beautifully presented. The flavours are bold, sticky, savoury-sweet – exactly what you’d hope for in this kind of fusion cuisine. Though she notes it’s a bit pricey – even by Amsterdam standards – the dishes are memorable and full of punch.

Madre

Madre takes vegan Mexican cuisine to the next level, elevating comfort classics into a fine-dining experience. Every dish is fresh, creative, and totally plant-based. The standout? A decadent tres leches cake with guava sauce, served alongside “the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had,” Rome swoons. Madre isn’t just a dinner, it’s a full-on vegan culinary journey with style and flair.

Vegan Junk Food Bar

No vegan Amsterdam list would be complete without the iconic Vegan Junk Food Bar. Rome had been years before and was glad to return for their double cheesy smash burgers – greasy, gooey, and totally satisfying. “Really, really solid,” she says. She also tries the Caesar chicken salad, another surprisingly good option at a place known for indulgence. It’s the ultimate guilty-pleasure vegan comfort food, perfect for when you want to go all-in.

TerraZen

One of Rome’s top three favourites of the trip, “Maybe even my favourite,” she says, TerraZen is a hidden gem that fuses Jamaican and Japanese flavours into a highly creative, 100 percent vegan menu. It’s the kind of place that makes you wish you had an extra stomach. Rome doesn’t go into detail about specific dishes but says she wanted to order the entire menu.

From flaky croissants to spicy cauliflower wings and gourmet guava desserts, Rome proves that Amsterdam is a plant-based paradise waiting to be devoured. For those craving food inspiration or planning their next plant-based trip, this Amsterdam guide is a must-watch.

These are the most vegan-friendly cities in the world

From cntraveller.in

London holds steady, Amsterdam slips, and Ho Chi Minh City rockets up the rankings in HappyCow’s latest list of vegan-friendly cities

Something about cardboard burgers or undressed salads, and you have yourself a perfectly serviceable vegan joke. But for plant-based eaters, travelling truly does come in tow with all those things, turning what was supposed to be a stress-free vacation into a tedious hunt for something (anything) to eat. In 1999, HappyCow began as a public service platform to assist vegans and vegetarians in finding real food on the road and now, with 25 years and 210 countries' worth of plant-based intel under its belt, it just released its annual list of the 25 most vegan-friendly cities.

The ranking goes beyond restaurants to include food trucks, cafés, bakeries, grocery shops, and B&Bs. Each city is evaluated for the number of these vegan establishments, their density per capita, the growth of listings since last year. These numbers go hand in hand with a qualitative assessment to consider how easy it is to eat vegan and how well it is understood locally. At a quick glance, though it is clear that the vegan restaurant count has dipped in some places, the broader picture shows a sharp uptick in cities offering vegan options that are far from the sad plate of lettuce that typically comes to mind.

London remains at the top of the list, smug as ever, with 154 fully vegan restaurants in the city centre alone, not to mention 3,620 total vegan-friendly listings across its sprawl. That’s more than enough to support an entire lifestyle of alt cheese and cashew aioli, plus a few vegan B&Bs for good measure. Veganism here is no longer subculture, it’s just lunch.

Further down in the top 10s, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Portland continue to hold their ground, even as some former favourites (Paris and Amsterdam among them) slid down the ranks. Amsterdam lost 21 vegan restaurants but remains in the conversation at 4th place unlike Paris which dropped out of the top 10 entirely. On the rise: Los Angeles clawed its way back into the top 3, shoring up its wellness-world credibility with 2515 vegan venues, while New York City and Mexico City broke into the top 10 this year, the latter for the first time ever.

Ho Chi Minh City, most notably, has arrived. The Vietnamese city made its first-ever appearance, landing in the top ten with the kind of numbers that suggest this isn’t a fluke: a 33% increase in fully vegan restaurants, and a 41% rise in vegan businesses overall. This makes it the fastest-growing vegan city of the moment, and the only Asian city to crack the top 10. However, others are not too far behind: Tokyo came in at 12, Bangkok at 14, Taipei at 18, and Singapore at 19, each with steadily growing options, even if the shift toward dedicated vegan venues is more incremental.

The most vegan-friendly cities, based on HappyCow’s data.

1. London, UK
2. Berlin, Germany
3. Los Angeles, USA
4. Portland, USA
5. Lisbon, Portugal
6. Barcelona, Spain

Vegan Junk Food Bar Amsterdam – Passionately plant-based

From spottedbylocals.com

By Kara from Amsterdam

""Vegan Junk Food Bar" Amsterdam is perfect if you believe vegan burgers and parmesan fries can never be as good as 'the real thing'. I'm a convert myself."

Let me start off this post by stating that I am in no way, shape, or form a vegan. I enjoy meat and dairy, and always appreciate a good cheeseburger. That being said, I have been cutting down on meat lately, and exploring more vegetarian and vegan dishes. To anyone who is sceptical about how good vegan food can really be, I would suggest visiting the Vegan Junk Food Bar before forming an opinion.

When you look at the menu at the VJFB it can be hard to believe that absolutely everything is plant based. Cheeseburgers, chicken shawarma, fish, and even traditional bitterballen have been reinvented into vegan goodness. The portions are generous and the sides are also great. You can have sweet potato or parmesan fries with different kinds of mayo, chicken nuggets, or cheese spring rolls, or if you want to to sample a bit of everything, order the jumbo platter.

My favourite main is the Notorious Sumo burger, which is a double cheese burger with onion rings and a bunch of other deliciousness. And no, in my opinion it doesn't taste like meat, but it is really tasty in its own way. But the plant-based cheese? That stuff almost fooled me. And the bitterballen are so good that they had me wanting to walk into the kitchen to see what they put in them.

Could plant-based food really be that good? Try it and decide for yourself!

Amsterdam goes vegan: “First EU capital” to endorse the Plant Based Treaty

From foodingredientsfirst.com

08 Feb 2024 --- Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has become the first EU capital to endorse the call for a Plant Based Treaty to address food system impacts on the climate crisis, aiming to make the city a vegan capital. Implementing its plant-based plans, included in its Food Strategy 2024-2026 for healthy, fair and sustainable food, should start in early 2026 at the latest.

Launched in 2021, the Plant Based Treaty was developed as a companion to the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. It aims to halt the degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture, promoting a shift to healthier, sustainable plant-based diets. Amsterdam is the 25th municipality to endorse the treaty worldwide.

Nutrition Insight meets up with two professionals from the Plant Based Treaty — Lisette Weustenenk, campaign coordinator for the Netherlands, and Lea Goodett, campaign coordinator for Europe, to discuss the treaty’s implications and see how it may be implemented in the city.

“Amsterdam has become the first EU capital to call for a global Plant Based Treaty to address food system impacts on the climate emergency. As well as the call for a Plant Based Treaty, Amsterdam is taking a leading role in the protein transition,” they tell us.

“A motion tabled by the Party for the Animals, which aims to make Amsterdam a ‘Plant Based Capital,’ was adopted. The city will enter a covenant with major employers, public institutions such as hospitals, community centres and care institutions in Amsterdam titled ‘Amsterdam: healthy, fair and sustainable food city.’”

                                                                 (All images credit: Plant Based Treaty)

Weustenenk and Goodett highlight several elements that such a plant-based covenant may include, such as enabling all employees, visitors and patients to obtain entirely plant-based meal options in publicly funded institutions from 2024 onwards.

Moreover, the city aims for all restoration and catering at public institutions to commit to a “Vegan Friday” starting in 2024. It further wants these institutions to commit to the animal-plant protein ratio set in the city by 2030. It may also organize an annual plant-based conference with care institutions, schools, universities and other public institutions in Amsterdam.

Healthy and sustainable F&B

In a statement, the City of Amsterdam Council says that food production, distribution, processing and consumption significantly impacts the health of people and animals, contributing to the climate crisis. With its food strategy, the municipality aims to drive changes in the food system to ensure all residents have access to healthy, sustainable and affordable food and drinks.

“One effort to achieve this is the shift toward more plant-based food,” reads the statement. “The consumption of more plant-based proteins is better for our health. It can lead to fewer conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and colorectal cancer.”

The statement further adds that a shift to plant-based foods helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease land use and the depletion of oceans. “The ambition is to shift the protein ratio in the city’s diet from 40% to 60% plant-based by 2030.”

By signing the treaty, the organization also asks businesses and institutions to make plant-based options more accessibleWeustenenk and Goodett highlight that whole food plant-based diets are nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in preventing certain diseases, according to the American Dietetic Association.

“Vegan diets are richer in fibre and antioxidants. They don’t contain cholesterol and are generally less rich in saturated fats. People following a vegan diet generally have a healthier weight and a lower chance of developing diabetes type 2, heart disease and certain types of cancer.”

The latest research links higher plant-based protein intake to healthier aging in women. At the same time, experts highlight that replacing animal products with vegan options supports weight loss, reduced cholesterol, reduced fat intake and increased fibre intake in overweight adults.

Meanwhile, the UK non-profit Veganuary spotlights a growing interest in vegan diets, partly driven by an increased availability of good vegan food.

Time for a Plant Based Treaty
Weustenenk and Goodett underscore the need for such a treaty in light of the current climate, ocean and biodiversity crises. Furthermore, they state that fossil fuels and animal agriculture drive global warming, leading to “extensive biodiversity loss, large-scale deforestation, species extinction, water depletion, soil degradation and ocean dead zones.”

“Addressing fossil fuels alone is not enough — we need action on food systems too; that’s where the Plant Based Treaty comes in. The three main greenhouse gasses, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, are at record levels and rapidly accelerating. Animal agriculture contributes to all three but is the main driver of global methane and nitrous oxide emissions.”

They add that signing the Plant Based Treaty involves more than a signature. “We ask businesses and institutions to lead by example and to implement meaningful changes like menu changes and making plant-based options more accessible for people.”

Goodett calls on more cities to sign up for the treaty to address food system impacts on the climate emergency, adding that plant-based food initiatives will make the products accessible for all, improve health and strengthen food security. “Everyone can participate by emailing their city council inviting them to follow Amsterdam’s great example.”

Both experts conclude: “The Plant Based Treaty aims to garner more city endorsements across the Netherlands and the rest of the EU, with appropriate actions attached, like the motions that Amsterdam has put forth. A great example is the stimulation of vegan Fridays and plant-based options in public restaurants.”
