Tofu Vegan

Tucked into Meeting House Lane in the heart of The Lanes, Tofu Vegan brings its cult London following south, and Brighton has taken to it fast. This is fully plant-based Chinese cooking that doesn't ask for compromise: think crispy-silky tofu, wok-fired dishes with real depth, and a menu big enough to make deciding half the fun.

Bring a group that isn't fully on board with vegan food and watch them fight over the last dumpling. Dim sum, bao buns you build yourself, and Sichuan-leaning mains make it a strong pick for sharing-style groups, while a generous private outdoor dining area makes it just as good for something more relaxed in the sun.

Whether you're planning a birthday, a catch-up with mixed dietary needs, or just want proper flavour without the meat, Tofu Vegan earns its place among Brighton's best vegan tables.
