Five Glasgow Spots to try This Veganuary
After overindulging over the festive period, many try to get back into good habits or start new ones throughout January. Many do this by doing a thirty-one-day challenge, either practising yoga, going alcohol-free or adopting a vegan diet.
Glasgow was recently voted the 4th best city in the UK for vegans by Student Beans. Over 500 restaurants in the city are labelled as vegan-friendly and 50 restaurants deliver vegan food on Uber Eats. Whether you are doing the Veganuary challenge, are a vegan or just looking to try something different here are some places to try:
Puti Vegan Cafe
Voted the best vegan restaurant in Glasgow, Puti serves a variety of Asian dishes with mock meats and tofu. You can find items on the menu which are often difficult to find veganized such as fried rice and prawn toast. Dine in or enjoy at home.
The 13th Note
The 13th Note has been a popular restaurant, bar and music venue for years, turning fully vegan in 2020. Try the “best chips in Glasgow” seasoned with Rosemary, Cajun-spiced or cheese to season. If you like Bloody Mary’s the 13th Notes has been called the best in Scotland.
