Little did I know, before starting to research my trip to Glasgow, that it was known as the “vegan capital of the UK“. While there are a lot of options in Edinburgh as well, it’s Glasgow that beat both Edinburgh, Brighton and London to the title. (It’s supposedly great for vegetarians, as well, according to the VegFest Awards.)
Sam and I ate like kings over our weekend in Glasgow, and were continually delighted by everything that we ate.

The 78 Cafe Bar is a vegan/vegetarian cafe and bar. They serve their famous 78 burger with lentils and mango salsa. Plus they have a large selection of organic beers and music most nights. The 78 Cafe Bar is located at 10-14 Kelvinhaugh St, G3 8NU.
Flying Duck is 100% vegan and they offer famously tasty seitan bugers and cheesesteaks! Flying Duck is located at 142 Renfield St, 2 3AU
Rose & Grants offers a wide variety of food, so not everything in the cafe is vegan. However they have an entire vegan menu for both breakfast/brunch and lunch. And their vegan sausage is famous. (They sometimes even offer vegan haggis!) Rose & Grants is located at 27 Trongate, G1 5EZ.
13th Note is a vegetarian/vegan cafe so not everything on the menu is vegan but you can easily make some adjustments to get delightful vegan dishes. For example, asking them to hold the feta. They offer a vegan breakfast that has been very well reviewed.13th Note is located at 50-60 King St, G1 5QT.
Chaakoo Bombay Cafe is an Indian restaurant that also does Indian style tapas. It’s not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant, however, a lot of their food is vegan friendly – you just need to check the dishes with your server. Chaakoo Bombay Cafe is located at 79 St Vincent St, G2 5TF.
Mono is also 100% vegan and they are famous in the area for vegan pizza and icecream. Both of which I can attest to, as I had an amazing pizza followed up with an equally amazing banana split. Sam had the seitan burger which was delicious and I’d definitely go back to Mono time and time again. Mono is located at 12 King St, G1 5RB
Stereo food and drink is all free from animal products, so it’s another 100% vegan place for the list. If you aren’t free to pop in to the restaurant, their soup, salads and pizzas are available for takeaway. Stereo is located at 2-28 Renfield Ln,G2 6PH.
Kind Crusts offers tasty looking vegan sandwich options, as well as salads and snacks. Everything on the in-store menu is vegan! Kind Crusts is located at 160 Garthland Dr, G31 2S
Singl-end is not a vegan cafe, however they have plenty of vegan options and Sam and I split their delicious vegan breakfast. It was so filling and super tasty. The roasted tomatoes and sweet potatoes were especially incredible! Singl-end cafe is located at 265 Renfrew St, G3 6TT
Do you have any other Glaswegian vegan recommendations that I can add to the list?
