Fat Annie's
Fat Annie's is located in Leeds Kirkgate Market and serves vegan street food, including burgers, hot dogs, shakes and loaded fries. Founded in 2014, they've been a popular hit with Leeds University students, being claimed to be 'some of the best plant-based food in the UK'. In 2020 they realised the need for good vegan food and went completely meat free.

Chef Jono @ V&V
Looking for a spot for a celebration, or enjoy a tasting menu but struggled to find one for vegans? V&V is the spot for a fully vegan tasting menu! Priced at £79 per head, with an optional drinks pairing of £70pp, Chef Jono has curated a fantastic menu focusing on seasonal produce for anyone on a plant based diet.
Chef Jono has been a professional chef for over 16 years, training in some of the worlds best restaurants, before opening one of his own in Leeds. More recently he made an appearance on BBC's MasterChef: The Professionals, where he reached the finals.
The menu is changed up monthly, and the style of a tasting menu is smaller plates, but more of them, meaning you get to sample lots of different dishes.

Delhi Wala
Another restaurant providing the option to order off a seperate vegan menu, Delhi Wala. We love when restaurants have the capacity to do this, as it feels inclusive and especially when the food is as good as it is here! Included are a lot of aromatic dishes, including Indo-Chinese cuisine which is especially yum!
Family run, the owner, Nitin, has a passion for the food he produces and this is reflected in the flavours of food.
Eat Your Greens
A favourite amongst our vegan friends, Eat Your Greens focuses on locally produced organic produce, meaning you're only eating what's in season right now (the way we should all be eating!).
Currently on their menu is roasted cauliflower with beetroot relish, fennel sauce and pumpkin seed dukkah (we highly recommend). Seasonal greens are always a must order, but check out their menu for dishes as they have some fantastic takes on a humble vegetable to make it a taste sensation in your mouth!
It's a green grocers by day, so you can go to shop their quality produce at home too, which we love!
