Best Vegan Restaurants in Glasgow 2026 | Where to Eat

Quick answer: The best vegan restaurants in Glasgow in 2026 are Mono and Stereo for all-day plant food with a gig later, The 78 and Soul Food Kitchen in Finnieston, Suissi Vegan Kitchen in Partick for the best sit-down feed, and The Glad Café, Ranjit’s Kitchen and Bramble across the Southside. Glasgow is one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the UK, so you’re spoiled either way.

Here’s the honest truth. Glasgow has been doing proper vegan food since long before it was trendy. Half the places on this list have been meat-free for twenty years, not since last Veganuary. You don’t get a sad bowl of leaves here. You get pizza, dosa, katsu, full Scottish breakfasts and burgers that ruin you for the real thing. We’ve eaten our way round the lot. Below is the list we’d actually send a pal to, grouped by area, with what to order and roughly what you’ll pay.

How we picked, and what you’ll pay

We kept this to places that are genuinely good, currently open in 2026, and either fully plant-based or so vegetarian-heavy that vegans are spoiled for choice. We checked every one. A few Glasgow favourites have shut or gone on hiatus, The Flying Duck and Picnic among them, so they’re not here. We won’t pad a list with ghosts.

On money. A coffee and a cake runs you about 6 to 9 quid. A casual lunch or a couple of small plates is 10 to 16 quid a head. A proper sit-down dinner with a drink lands around 22 to 35 quid a head at the dressier spots like Suissi or Hendersons. Glasgow is still decent value next to Edinburgh, and a fair few of these places do cracking lunch deals. If you’re watching the pennies generally, our cost of living in Glasgow guide is worth a look.

City Centre and Merchant City

Mono

If you only do one vegan place in Glasgow, make it Mono. It’s been fully plant-based on King’s Court off King Street (G1 5RB) since 2002, and it shares the room with Monorail Music, so you can buy a record and a beer in the same trip. Order the seitan wings to start, then the burger or whatever pizza is on, and a pint of something from the long vegan beer list. Expect to pay around 12 to 16 quid for a main. It’s open daily, late, and it doubles as a gig venue most nights. Suits everyone, from a quiet weekday lunch to a noisy night with mates.

Stereo

Stereo is Mono’s wee sister, down a lane off Renfield Street at 20 to 28 Renfield Lane (G2 5AR), in a gorgeous Mackintosh building. Vegan café by day, kitchen and bar by night, club and gig space when the kitchen shuts at 9pm. The menu leans Mediterranean small plates and pizza, and the house hummus and flatbread is a must. Mains sit around 11 to 15 quid. Open noon till late, later still at weekends. Brilliant for a group who can’t agree on what they want, since you just order a pile of plates and share.

Saramago Café Bar at the CCA

Inside the Centre for Contemporary Arts on Sauchiehall Street (G2 3JD), Saramago is the one for a sunny day. It’s fully vegan, the food is North African and Mediterranean, and there’s an indoor courtyard terrace strung with fairy lights that feels like nowhere else in town. Go for the mezze board, the courgette fritters and the sweet potato fries, washed down with a local beer. Small plates are roughly 5 to 9 quid each. Open daytime into the evening. Great for a relaxed catch-up or a drink before a film or exhibition.

Saravanaa Bhavan

Part of the famous South Indian vegetarian chain, the Glasgow branch sits at 468 Sauchiehall Street (G2 3LW). It’s vegetarian rather than strictly vegan, but a huge chunk of the menu is naturally plant-based, the dosas especially. Get the masala dosa, which is the size of your arm, plus an uthappam and a sweet lassi. You’ll struggle to spend more than 12 to 15 quid and you’ll leave stuffed. Open daily, lunch through dinner. Best dosa in the city, no argument from us, and a brilliant cheap feed. If curry’s your thing more broadly, see our best curry in Glasgow guide.

West End, Finnieston and Partick

The 78

The 78 has been the cosy heart of vegan Finnieston since 2002, at 10 to 14 Kelvinhaugh Street (G3 8NU). It’s part of the same family as Mono and Stereo. Picture mismatched dark wood tables, armchairs, gig posters and a real coal fire in the corner. The food is hearty comfort stuff, and the haggis, neeps and tatties is the order, with a Sunday roast that locals queue for. Mains around 11 to 14 quid. Open noon till late, seven days, with DJs at the weekend and live jazz on Sundays. Perfect for a rainy Glasgow afternoon with a pint.

Soul Food Kitchen

A bright, fully plant-based spot at 973 Sauchiehall Street in Finnieston (G3 7TU), Soul Food Kitchen is the healthy-leaning one without being preachy about it. The SFK burger is the crowd-pleaser, but the soul bowls, the sesame tofu and the burrito bowl are where it shines, plus fresh juices and smoothies made daily. Mains and bowls land around 10 to 14 quid. Open daytime into early evening, roughly noon to 9pm. Suits a wholesome lunch, a solo work session, or anyone trying to eat well without losing the flavour. It sits right in the middle of Glasgow’s best eating strip, covered in our Finnieston guide.

The Hug and Pint

Up at 171 Great Western Road (G4 9AW), The Hug and Pint is a fully vegan bar, kitchen and basement music venue. The kitchen does a creative pan-Asian menu pulling from Thai, Indonesian and Korean cooking, and it’s some of the most interesting vegan food in the city. Order a spread of small plates, the dumplings are essential, and let the table work through them. Reckon on 20 to 26 quid a head with a drink. Open evenings, with gigs in the basement most nights. Great for a date or a feed before live music.

Suissi Vegan Kitchen

If you want a proper sit-down dinner, this is the one. Suissi, at 494 Dumbarton Road in Partick (G11 6SL), was ranked among the top ten vegan restaurants in the world, and it earns it. The menu is pan-Asian sharing plates, and the award-winning curry laksa is the dish to build a meal around, along with the gyozas and the king trumpet mushroom katsu. Around 20 to 30 quid a head. Open Wednesday to Sunday evenings, with weekend afternoons too, closed Monday and Tuesday. Book ahead. Best vegan dinner in Glasgow for a special occasion.

Tantrum Doughnuts

Not a restaurant, but no vegan guide should skip it. Tantrum’s Partick branch at 27 Old Dumbarton Road (G11 6RD) hand-makes a rotating selection of vegan doughnuts every single day, in small batches, so get there before they sell out. The flavours change constantly, but anything with a salted caramel or a fruit glaze is usually a winner. A doughnut and a coffee runs about 6 to 8 quid. Open daytime. Note they handle dairy and egg on site, so no guarantee on cross-contamination. Perfect for a sweet pit-stop on a West End wander.

Southside

The Glad Café

A café, bar and arts venue at 1006A Pollokshaws Road in Shawlands (G41 2HG), The Glad is fully vegan and dog-friendly, run as a community interest company. The pizzas are legendary locally, the weekend brunch is massive, and there’s a back room hosting gigs and events through the week. Pizzas and mains around 10 to 14 quid, brunch a touch less. Open late on weekdays from 11am, from 10am at weekends. Suits a long lazy brunch, a casual dinner, or a gig night with no menu compromises. More Shawlands eating in our Shawlands guide.

Bramble

Bramble has moved to 924 Pollokshaws Road in Shawlands (G41 2ET), facing Queen’s Park, and it does some of the best vegan brunch in the city. The vegan breakfast is a clever remix of the full Scottish, with vegan haggis, fried bread, hash browns and scrambled tofu. Brunch runs about 9 to 13 quid. Open 9am to 4pm, seven days, walk-in only, so expect a wait at the weekend. Worth it. Best for a proper morning feed before a walk round the park. For more morning options across town see our best brunch in Glasgow guide.

Ranjit’s Kitchen

A family-run Punjabi place at 607 Pollokshaws Road in Strathbungo (G41 2QG), Ranjit’s is all-vegetarian with loads naturally vegan, and it’s one of the best-value meals in Glasgow full stop. No bookings, you just turn up, grab a seat and eat, and it’s cash only. Get the daal of the day, the aloo tikki and a paratha. You’ll spend under 15 quid and waddle out happy. Open Tuesday to Sunday, noon to half eight, closed Monday. Honest, homemade, properly comforting food. Suits anyone after a warm, cheap, no-nonsense feed.

Honeytrap Bakery

A fully plant-based bakery at 4 Skirving Street in Shawlands (G41 3AB), Honeytrap uses organic British flour and is palm-oil free. The menu rotates, but expect blueberry almond croissants, plum danishes and savoury pastries that convert dedicated meat-eaters. It’s takeaway only and open Friday to Sunday, so plan around that and get there early before it’s gone. A couple of pastries and a coffee, around 7 to 10 quid. Best for a weekend treat to take to the park, not a sit-down meal.

Hendersons Glasgow

The legendary Edinburgh vegetarian institution, founded in 1962, opened its first ever Glasgow site in summer 2026, taking over 721 Pollokshaws Road in Strathbungo. The menu is seasonal and ingredient-led, with the famous Hendersons haggis, salt-baked celeriac and a plant-based Cullen skink made with foraged dulse seaweed. Weekend brunch and vegetarian and vegan Sunday roasts are on offer too. Reckon on 22 to 32 quid a head for dinner. A genuinely exciting arrival for the Southside and well worth booking. Suits a special meal with a bit of occasion to it.

Vegan and Veg Cafe

A wee Southside Indian café and ice cream shop that’s vegetarian with strong vegan options. They do a daily daal or sabji with house-made roti, there’s always vegan cake, and the ice cream is the surprise hit. It’s cheap and cheerful, easily under 12 quid for a full plate. Open Monday to Saturday daytime and Sunday afternoons. Best for a casual, low-key lunch or a sweet stop when you’re south of the river.

Getting around

Most of the City Centre and West End spots are an easy walk or a short Subway hop apart. The Subway loops through Partick, Kelvinhall and the centre, so Mono, The 78, Suissi and Tantrum are all doable in one day on a single ticket. Our Glasgow Subway guide covers fares and stops. The Southside cluster around Pollokshaws Road is best reached by train to Pollokshaws East or Crossmyloof, or a quick bus down from town.
