Best Vegan Restaurants in Beckwithshaw

"If you want a filling meal that’s also healthy, head on down to Humpit in the Corn Exchange or at Leeds University Union. Here you can choose between salad bowls topped with healthy delights such as hummus and falafel, filled pittas, Turkish pizzas, loaded fries and more. Everything on the menu is plant-based, so take your pick and dig in!"

"Speaking of hummus and falafels, this delightful little joint has some of the best in town. Tucked away in the beautiful setting of Leeds Corn Exchange, you’ll recognise Humpit immediately – it’s the busy one. The menu is short and simple; fresh salads, rich hummus and packed, warm pittas."

"Corn Exchange, Call Lane, Leeds LS1 7BRLeeds University Union, Lifton Place, Leeds LS2 9JZwith two city-centre venues, Humpit offer a totally vegan menu of hummous & pitta (hum-pit, gettit?) alongside falafel and a selection of fresh salads."

"Tharavadu is a Malayalam word which roughly translates into “keeping traditions alive”. This is the idea that is at the very heart of this ever popular south Indian inspired restaurant. Regularly cited as one of the most unique restaurants in Leeds, it has a vast array of choices on the menu and is well regarded for its unusual dishes, such as crab in coconut, fried lentil doughnuts and toffee steamed rice cakes!"

"If Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine is your kind of thing, then Oranaise is one of the best vegan restaurants in Leeds for you. The restaurant is furnished with traditional North African lamps and décor, setting the scene for your delicious Mediterranean meal. After a lot of requests from customers for veggie and vegan food, the head chef developed a huge vegan menu."

"Finally, this unique café in Hyde Park is a real taste of something different. Boasting a rich menu filled with Middle Eastern delicacies, you’ll be spoilt for choice if you want to try something new. It’s perfect for vegetarians and vegans as well, as they have a whole separate menu to cater to your veggie friends."

"While not strictly a vegetarian restaurant, the Grub and Grog Shop is still a firm favourite among Leeds’ plant-based community. That’s because it offers up vegan and vegetarian-friendly breakfast, lunch and dinner in an informal setting, with everything made from scratch (as much as possible) using local, organic ingredients. Grub and Grog also works with a number of local providers, meaning customers can buy the products used directly from the shop."

"It’s got food, drink, outdoor seating in the warmer months, and an excellent selection of vegetarian options. So, take a seat, boot-up the free wi-fi, and order yourself some fresh veggies. Or some fresh bread with jam."

"The Botanist is a great place to both eat and drink in York as it has such an extensive cocktail menu, as well as great foodie options, too. I’ve been to The Botanist on several different occasions, both with Matt, my friends and old work colleagues for our Christmas party last year and it’s delivered beyond my expectations every single time. I’d recommend: lamb kofta or chicken hanging kebabs (SO good) or the crispy chicken burger."

"One of the Best Bottomless Brunch destinations in York, located along the city’s busy Stonegate street. Stumble into the Botanist and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a secret garden. Their menu is short and as sweet as their triple-layered french toastie, with veggie and vegans also looked after."

"The Botanist have a fresh new offering for brunch that you can upgrade to bottomless brunch if you would like (and what’s not to like?). You choose a dish from six different sections of the menu – each section has three options."

"If there was one serious oversight in my original 2009 “budget eats” guide, it was not paying full due respect to this vegan veteran. Its soups, dhals, top-ranking falafel, hummus and tinas (fried carrot patties of remarkable ersatz-creaminess; it’s the coconut milk apparently), are the stuff of local legend and tasty enough to have persuaded many sceptical carnivores to come around. You can eat in of course, in the bright, surprisingly Andalucian-styled cafe-restaurant (El Piano has sister branches in southern Spain), but the takeaway hatch is where you will find a serious bargain."

"145 Briggate, Leeds LS1 6BRBella Italia has offered family-friendly Italian-style dining in the UK since the early ’90s. With the option to filter their online menu for vegan dishes, Bella Italia make it easy to eat out with a crowd."

"Located in prime position on Briggate, Bella Italia should already be on your radar. And if it isn’t, why on earth not?. The food is surprisingly good and the service merits a gold star."

"They serve unreal kebabs, fried chick’n and sides, and the best part is, everything on the menu is completely vegan friendly!. My personal favourite is the fried chick’n combo with buffalo sauce. However, everything I’ve tried from there is amazing, so I can promise you that you won’t be disappointed!"

"This 100% vegan street food popup serves up ‘guilty eats with a conscience’. They have a breakfast menu as well as their main menu, and you are in for a treat if you decide to eat here. The gang at Knaves Kitchen are experts in vegan junk food, so every bite you take here will be packed full of flavour."

"This much-beloved watering hole is the sister bar to one of Leeds’ oldest pub, Whitelocks. Whilst the former is the place to head for the more classic ales, Turks Head is the more modern choice, with a plethora of interesting craft ales, gins, and cocktails. The beer garden which sits in the alleyway just off Briggate is lively and atmospheric all year round, with plenty of seating, and canopies with heaters for those unpredictable British summer days."

"Cartwright Hall is the public art gallery in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, situated about a mile from the city centre in the Manningham district. It was constructed on the previous site of Manningham Hall using a gift of £40,000 given by Samuel Lister and it is named after Edmund Cartwright. The gallery which opened in 1904 originally had a exhibition of artworks loaned from other galleries and private collections until it was able to purchase a permanent collection of Victorian and Edwardian works using money raised by the 1904 Bradford Exhibition."

"Cartwright Hall Art Gallery is a leading regional art gallery, situated in the beautiful surroundings of Lister Park. The gallery has been home to a variety of prints for more than a hundred years. Where they are proud to housework by William Blake, Francisco Goya, and Walter Sickert – all master printmakers."

"Emsley’s Farm is a popular family attraction in Leeds, but it’s also a great place for indoor kids activities. The Play Barn tops the lists of many local parents, offering safe and fun indoor play with a great variety of daily changing of activities, as well as home cooked food in the relaxed café. Outside there’s a garden with a vegetable patch where little ones will love to get their hands dirty, so take their wellies and raincoats and let them explore!"
