My Top 5 for Vegan Eating Out & Eating In
Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve always been vegetarian, the only one growing up in a big family eating mostly peanut butter and rice krispies before I learnt to cook!
A few years ago, I decided to cut out dairy & eggs, and go vegan. Some of my clients, friends and family are veggie or vegan, some aren’t, and that’s also cool - it’s a personal choice.
What I have noticed though is that lots more people are asking me about cutting down on meat or dairy, or adding more veg for lots of different reasons, and i’m happy to help with that…
Sooooooo…. here’s some ideas for vegan eating in and eating out in Belfast!
My Top 5 for Vegan Eating Out in Belfast!
Just some ideas on where to go, and what to order!
Jumon
Fountain Street, Belfast
This place is AMAZING. You might not understand any of the menu, but don’t worry about that - everything I’ve had is great. Go for the jackfruit curry & ‘curry chips’ - unreal.
TRIBAL BURGER
BOTANIC AVE & CALLENDER ST, Belfast
GO WHEN HUNGRY!! THEIR AWESOME FRESH BURGERS AND VEGAN SALADS ARE NOT MESSING ABOUT. AND THAT’S BEFORE YOU GET TO THE FRIES…
BUBA
St Anne’s Square, Belfast
Buba’s menu is my favourite type of menu - lots of little things so you can order a bit of everything. Do that, and make sure the Stuffed Date Baklava is on the list…
Grapevine
Pottinger's Entry, Belfast
Go just before or just after lunch, and get the Pea & Lentil gumbo it's incredible! Their Facebook lists their daily specials each morning - always worth a look.
falafel
Botanic Avenue, Belfast
Consistently a favourite for their friendly service, great prices and falafel plates. And wraps. And bean tagines..

Baked Falafel Burgers
Hurrah for falafels!
Big Brian’s Spinach and Chickpea Curry
My dad has always made a mean curry for his only veggie son - this is the closest I’ve come to getting it right.
Vegan French Toast
For those Monday mornings where you wake up & feel like a massive plate of French Toast is the only way to start the week…
Supergreen breakfast smoothie
Low effort, high energy, let’s go!
