Bristol has one of the most prominent vegan communities in the UK so it comes as no surprise the city has dozens of great restaurants, cafes and takeaways with entire menus dedicated to plant-based eating.
Recently, Tripadvisor ranked its top 10 restaurants serving vegan dishes in Bristol. The list compiled reviews left by customers of each diner but many of the establishments featuring on the list also provided meat options.
Bristol World has put together 10 of our favourite meat-free menus for vegans, or those exploring Veganuary, to enjoy. Some of our picks will be obvious choices to those who have had a plant-based diet for some time but we hope it can act as a starting point for those looking to try something new and, most importantly, delicious.
