The best vegan places to eat in Brighton

It’s the vegan capital of the UK


2016 seems to be the year of veganism, with a huge wave of people turning vegan and vegetarian. Brighton is pretty much vegan central, there are plenty of places for you dairy and animal free food lovers.

Even if you’re not vegan, these places to eat are definitely worth  a try. From vegan pizza to vegan pancakes, being vegan in Brighton has never been better, so here’s where you need to go:

Looking for a proper meal

Purezza

Every pizza is vegan, with a range of adventurous veggie and meat substitute toppings and even one with a hummus base. And they deliver.

Loving Hut

This place does all day vegan breakfasts, a range of Chinese food and a load of (yes still vegan) fast food including ‘chicken’ nuggets and chips, perfect if your missing your Maccies fix.

 

Iydea 

Like no place you would’ve been before, definitely a place you’ll want to bring your vegan and veggie mates. A variety of vegan food you didn’t even think you could still eat and hearty portions too.

 

And they do cake…

Filfil Cafe

Falafel is a vegans best friend. Have it in a wrap, pitta, tub or have a platter of hummus and olive-y goodness

The Almond Tree

A vegan cafe outside the Laines does exist. This sophisticated little deli will make you see there’s more to vegan food than just vegetables. It’s also up for nomination in the Gluten Free Brighton Awards for their breakfasts and brunches, that’s got to count for something too right?

VBites

You had me at vegan roast dinner.

Tapas style food at Rootcandi

This place started out serving their food a few nights a week at Iydea, but got so popular it took over the restaurant, which says it all! Great for group dining, and who doesn’t love tapas that’s good for the conscience?

 

Planet India

Oh yes, Brighton even caters for vegan curry lovers. There’s a branch in Brighton and one newly opened in Hove, for wherever in the city you end up. You can even get two half portions of a meal to ‘feed ONE hungry person’ as they say on their menu. All the exotic flavour a real curry should have, with none of the animal produce.

Rock Ola

American style cafe with funky decor, being vegan is definitely not boring when you can enjoy this kind of food. Cheesy burgers and hot dogs that are entirely plant based, hello hangover cure.

Or maybe just a snack

Boho Gelato

Located off of East Street, not too far from the pier, with a large range of ice cream which new choices each and every day, it’s worth popping in here on a sunny day. Strawberry daiquiri and cherry bakewell ice cream? Go on then.

 

Cloud 9

Mouth watering vegan options available. Including a 6 layer rainbow cake *drool*

Infinity Foods

Not only do they have a vegan friendly restaurant located in the laines, they have a supermarket that is a vegans dream: multiple flavours of tofu, ‘cheeses’ and a delicious bakery section that sells such goodies as vegan chelsea buns, scones and brownies.

 

Little Bird

Even MORE vegan cake.

 

Wai Kika Moo Kau

Their incredible main menu aside, the choices of vegan nachos, milkshakes and pancakes is enough to satisfy your dietary needs.
