Free yourself from mushroom risotto monotony! Sheffield’s got plenty on offer for non meat-eaters.
Whether it’s speciality vegetarian and vegan eateries, or regular restaurants with a healthy smattering of those all important little green V’s there’s no reason to settle for less than delicious plant-based grub in Sheffield, with a “vegan quarter” even starting to take shape around Chesterfield rd/Abbeydale rd.
Check out the plant power on offer…
Veggie and vegan only menus
Humpit
Hummus and falafel: the dream team forming the staple of any veggie treat. You’ll find both of them in generous portions at this micro eatery where you’re instructed to tear into the accompanying freshly made pittas and savour their unique range of hummus. Crowned Best UK Street Food Start up at the Virgin Foodpreneur Awards, pop in next time you get peckish in the city centre.

Pom Kitchen
“Rainbow food” is all the rage on Instagram these days, and Pom’s multi-coloured meals are certainly photo friendly. With a toast bar, daily hot and cold meals and a fabulous range of desserts, including frozen coconut served in half a coconut. Th is is one to shake up your diet, and your social media feed.

Make No Bones
Once a vegan food truck, ‘No Bones has since become a more sit down affair with a roof over its head, but it still retains its casual feel and stripped-back menu of hearty comfort food. This is a place to bring non-vegans to dispel the myth that plant-based diets are all salad and no fun, with dishes like southern fried tofu and “avocado wings”. The Chesterfield road location is certainly worth a trip for anyone seeking a different vegan experience.

Blue Moon Cafe
With a mention as one of the Guardian’s best cheap eats in Sheffield and winner of Eat Sheffield’s Best Café Award, Blue Moon is a go-to for vegetarian and vegan grub in the city centre. Housed in a distinctive blue and white building next to Sheffield Cathedral, it’s not hard to spot either and the high ceilinged interior makes it a rather “zen” little spot to get away from deadline madness.

Bag yourself two tacos for £5.50 or branch out with a large plate – their wild mushroom quesadilla is second to none.
