Veganuary is now upon us, with Glaswegians across the city throwing out the steak pie in 2024 for a more plant-based diet as Glasgow enters a new year.
There's plenty of reasons to switch to a vegan or vegatarian diet - be it ethical, environmental, or for health reasons - even just taking a month to try out a new lifestyle can do great things for not just yourself, but the planet.
Just over 10 years ago, back in 2013, Glasgow was named the most vegan-friendly city in the UK - and with good reason too. The city has an abundance of ever-evolving vegan eateries – from up-market, award-winning restaurants to hip and chilled-out vegan cafés, you won’t have to look far for a good vegan spot.
Whether you’re looking for something light and fresh – think smoothie bowls and avocado toast – or something a tad more indulgent, we’ve got you covered when it comes to vegan restaurants in Glasgow.
This list was provided by the good folks over at Dish Cult - which catalogues the very best food and drink institutions across the UK - for more info about restaurants across Britain, be they vegan or not, check out their website.
9. Suissi Vegan Kitchen
This Partick eatery has been in business since April 2019, when it was opened by Mama Lim and her family. Lim hails from Malaysia and loves to bring the flavours of her homeland to the people of Glasgow, sharing her roots and cultural heritage through her home-style meals. Not only are the ingredients super healthy, but Mama cooks without using MSG or any artificial enhancers, so you can be sure of an all-natural experience. Dishes are designed to be shared and you can enjoy them with Suissi Vegan Kitchen’s one-of-a-kind cocktails. If you’re tee-total or just not drinking at the moment, then you’ll love the mocktails which include Matcha Martinis and Lychee Cosmopolitans. The venue received a refurb in August 2023, so if you haven’t been for a while, it’s worth stopping in to check out the new look. | Contributed
