The Best 100% Vegan Restaurants in Brighton
Purezza Brighton
The first-ever vegan pizzeria in the country, Purezza is a great shout for food lovers. Delve into doughy delights, all while pairing them with delicious sides such as courgette spaghetti or marinated olives. As for drinks? You'll certainly want to explore its £8 pornstar martinis and limoncello spritzes.
Tofu Vegan
Having now been to 3 of the 6 Tofu Vegan restaurants across the UK, I can safely say that their Brighton branch was the best. Sitting down for a birthday dinner with my husband, a gorgeous breeze ran through the indoor-outdoor, foliage-covered dining concept that has all of the flavour of the original Tofu Vegan sites, but added Brighton personality. As a major tofu fan, and loyalist to their dumplings with house sauce, each dish was a brilliant dedication to the Sichuan flavours that they love, and perfect for sharing. Having this much choice when you're meat-free? Bliss.
Oowee Vegan
Multi-award-winning Oowee Vegan is Brighton's go-to for proper, no-holds-barred plant-based junk food. Tucked away near North Laine on Market Street, this spot serves up towering vegan burgers, crispy fried "chick'n" and indulgent milkshakes built for people who miss the real thing, not people looking for a salad. It's a firm local favourite and BRAVO Best Takeaway winner, and it's easy to see why once you've had a bite.
