A foodie hub, beautiful Cornwall has some incredible food for us vegans. One of my most asked questions is: “I’m coming to Cornwall next week, where are the best vegan spots to eat?”. So here is my official round up, after many yummy taste tests. There is a great vegan and vegetarian scene in Cornwall, with many non-vegan restaurants also offering amazing vegan options. I will be adding to this as I try out more spots for you, so save it and keep an eye on any updates in the future.

Vegan Restaurants

Fal Falafel

Falmouth – Weds – Sat

When we lived closer to Falmouth, I would have Fal Falafel almost every week. They make the best fresh falafel wraps with incredible pitta, creamy hummus and spicy pickles. The hummus and sauces are freshly made each day, they use biodegradable packaging and even their pittas are made in Cornwall at the same farm that the wheat is grown. It’s an ideal lunch when you’re out and about, and one of my highest recommendations for the area.

Wilder Kitchen

Falmouth – Tues – Sat

After visiting the Southern regions of India, founder Bradley was inspired to start his own street food business serving Thali’s. Enjoy a full plate of plant-based Indian flavours in the restaurant or for takeaway. A new dish is served each week, and I highly recommend for a meal packed full of flavour!

They serve for breakfast and lunch, but keep an eye on their instagram page for special themed dinner and evening events.

Sabzi Deli

Truro, Falmouth, Newquay Padstow – open every day

Sabzi is always my favourite spot, and it’s no surprise that they have now expanded throughout Cornwall to have delis in Truro, Falmouth, Newquay and Padstow. It’s a small menu of vibrant, colourful, plant-based dishes that are different every day. Owner Kate instills her Iranian heritage in the flavours of the spreads, while championing sustainability into the values of her delis. The ultimate lunch box is a must (the dal is incredible), as well as their incredible cinnamon and tahini buns.

Potager Kitchen

Constantine – Thurs – Sun

A beautiful cafe sitting within a converted greenhouse amongst stunning gardens. Serving delicious homemade cakes, veggie breakfasts and seasonal vegetarian lunches, this is one of my favourite spots for how beautiful it is. You can take a stroll around the gardens after enjoying food from them in the cafe, and why not head to the Seal Sanctuary nearby after!

Restaurants with Great Vegan Options

Caffè Rojano

Padstow – open everyday

We ate here for my birthday dinner last year and it was absolutely delicious. It was great to have a traditional Italian meal that didn’t feel like an afterthought, but a really amazing option for vegans. One of Paul Ainsworth’s restaurants, you can understand why the food is so good, offering a menu of seasonal small plates, beautiful Napoletana-style pizzas and fresh pasta dishes. They have a seperate vegan menu which makes things easier including wild mushroom bruschetta, tomato ragu, sobrasada, and lots of different pizzas.

The Meat Counter

Falmouth – open everyday

Despite it’s name, this is one of my absolutely favourites in Cornwall because of their incredible vegan burgers. Truly after all of the vegan burgers I’ve tried, this is up there as one of the best. I always get the Heil Seitan with a side of loaded fries.

45 Queen Street

Penzance – Weds – Sat

One of my favourite spots for the ambience, interiors, drinks, and of course, the food. We chose Queen Street as our Christmas work party last year for it’s delicious variety of seasonal small plates with a mostly vegetarian and vegan menu. Their entire ethos is about sustainable, local, seasonal and mostly organic produce which is a huge tick!

Pizza Plz

Penzance – Weds – Sat

If you’re craving a takeaway woodfired pizza, then Pizza Plz do an amazing £5 pizza on a Wednesdays with a vegan margherita on their menu. I love to add extra veg and their pizza is a solid 10/10 from me! Order over the phone, and make sure to call early as they sell out fast!

Famous for their epic brunch menu of waffles, hash browns, rancheros and raya (described as “pillow breads”). Their portion sizes never disappoint and we love that they have vegan options all across their innovative menu.

Let me know in the comments where you’ve enjoyed a delicious plant-based meal in Cornwall, and if I haven’t tried it, I will make sure to visit and add it to my list! Or if you’re a local restaurant, pub or café owner and are offering vegan menu items, please let us know. I would love it if this post could be a hub for vegans in Cornwall to make it that much easier.
