The Best Vegan Food in Harrogate

Featuring tried and tested restaurants in Harrogate offering the best vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Where are the best places to eat in Harrogate if you are Vegan? This is a question I get asked a lot so I thought it would be worth asking some local friends and followers who are vegan for their opinions and where they rate highly in Harrogate. I love having other people’s input on the blog so if you have a favourite vegan food in Harrogate, I’d love to know.

There are more and more restaurants that are adapting their menus to delight customers by making meat-free food available. Having these culinary offerings is not only a plus for anyone who is vegetarian or vegan in Harrogate, it allows health-conscious and ethical individuals to enjoy them too. As a rule of thumb a lot of Thai and Chinese restaurant cater very well for vegan dietary requirements. So here are the top places offering vegan and vegetarian dishes in Harrogate as rated by my friends and followers.

The Giggling Squid

The place that came out the top by far was The Giggling Squid, apparently their spring rolls are to die for. It’s somewhere that I still haven’t been yet, although it’s very Instagrammable. It’s on my ‘to-try’ list for sure. UPDATE: I’ve finally been! and it definitely lives up to the hype.

Zizzi

Another place that ranked highly was Zizzi’s. People highly recommend the vegan pizza that apparently actually has nice mozzarella on it not like the normal vegan cheese that you normally find and I just love the look of their rainbow lasagne.

Quirky Farm Bistro

The Farm Bistro on Oxford Street offers a fantastic selection of vegan options and is a little hidden away but that just makes it even more of a hidden gem. It’s just a small entrance door which leads you upstairs to the restaurant.

Ginkgo

The newest independent eatery to open on Kings Road. Ginkgo offers brunch, lunch and occasional dinners. Its dog friendly and walk in only, no bookings.

Lilypad

Relaxed & vibrant family-run Bar & Restaurant, Lilypad offers hand-crafted sharing plates & cocktails Asian & South American flavours.

Oliveta

Oliveta is a family-owned restaurant, founded in 2021, offers the freshest ingredients and authentic flavours of the Mediterranean

Nomad Cafe

French Algerian café with a full seperate vegan menu including vegan Algerian bread which is a twist on pizza. Also has falafels, burgers, salads, mezze platters, sides and much more.

That’s certainly not all the options of vegan friendly restaurants in Harrogate, we have so many eateries here the list is almost endless, however these were the tried and tested, top rated. Some other great options for vegan food in Harrogate mentioned were Konak Meze, Papas, Clementines and Farmhouse which are all fantastic Harrogate independents.
