Sanskruti is a vegetarian and vegan Indian restaurant, serving an array of fresh, brightly coloured dishes that you’ll be thinking about for a long time after the meal, not to mention that you won’t be leaving hungry with generous portions and a very long menu to choose your treats from.

Maray introduced us to Disco Cauliflower and their separate vegan menu is music to our ears. Meat-free isn’t an afterthought here and you’ll find a wide range of mezze, small plates and desserts to choose from. Proof that ‘vegan-friendly’ and ‘fine-dining’ can go together.

The Egg Cafe describes itself as Liverpool’s foremost vegan (and vegetarian) restaurant and who are we to disagree? The food is reliably excellent, the atmosphere is cheerful without being imposing, and the space itself is fantastic – the loft space of an old Victorian warehouse. Very Liverpool.

Bundobust have brought their Indian street food and craft beer to Liverpool. It’s the all vegetarian (and mostly vegan) menu that will win over the biggest skeptics.

The Caledonia is one of Liverpool’s oldest and best-loved pubs, but behind that Georgian facade it also boasts a vegan-only kitchen.

‘Cali Vegan Kitchen’ is a meat-free paradise serving only vegan food and drink. It’s dog-friendly too, so grab your cauli and get down for a pint with some of the best vegan junk food in the city.

Just over a year old but already making waves in the Liverpool food scene, this all-vegan restaurant never disappoints. Head down to Duke Street, stat.

Probably the most inclusive space in Merseyside, Food From Nowhere is a volunteer-run café underneath the city’s leading radical bookshop, News From Nowhere. The food is entirely vegan, delicious and affordable enough for any budget. Best of all, it’s staffed by some of the friendliest people you’ll find anywhere in the UK.

The menu covers all your Mediterranean needs, with enough traditional options to make everyone happy, plus a few dishes with some extra dazzle for the daredevils.  Vegans and vegetarians are also well taken care of here, with a dedicated vegan menu and the option to alter other dishes.

Nova Scotia’s desserts could well be the best on the menu, and that’s high praise. The signature brownie is an all-vegan dark chocolate treat, with vegan ice cream so rich and smooth it’s hard to believe.

Lovelocks has all of the classic lunchtime dishes, from pancakes and avocado on toast, to sandwiches, soup and pastries. The ingredients are locally sourced and everything’s made to order so you know you’ll be getting a plate of fresh goodness.

Whether you’re starting your day with a decadent brunch or unwinding with cocktails, BAM BOO delivers a slice of paradise right in the Liverpool city centre.
