The Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Anglesey 2023

In an age where conscious eating has taken the culinary world by storm, the rise of vegetarian eateries stands as a testament to our ever-evolving palates and principles. As more people choose plant-based diets for reasons ranging from animal welfare and environmental concerns to health benefits, the pubs, cafes and restaurants in Anglesey have responded in kind. Gone are the days when vegetarian dining on the island meant limited choices. 

Today, an array of world-class vegetarian establishments offers a symphony of flavours, pushing the boundaries of what it means to eat green. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan, a vegetarian, a flexitarian or just veggie-curious, the island offers a range of options to satisfy your appetite. Let’s dive into some of the best vegetarian places to eat in Anglesey.

Note: As restaurants and cafes can change their menus or close, it’s always recommended to check their current offerings and opening times before visiting.

Best Vegan Cafe In Anglesey

Green Olive (100% Vegan) – Menai Bridge

Whether you fancy breakfast, lunch or an early tea that’s 100% vegan, The Green Olive in Menai Bridge is the perfect place to go (unless it’s Wednesday or Thursday – when they don’t open). This all-vegan cafe serves amazing vegan food with friendly service. The menu is innovative and interesting and lists items as ‘NGCI’ when the items do not have gluten-containing ingredients, but can’t guarantee them.

Breakfast options include the intriguing carrot cake porridge, bacon (tofu) banana pancakes and a full breakfast.  For lunch, there’s the delicious katsu curry, soup of the day or shitake and butterbean stew. For those looking for something a little more filling, how about a mouthwatering burger or hotdog – with fascinating names like a jammy-dog-dger and Mac Daddy you might have to visit a few times to try them all! The place gets amazing reviews from me, Tripadvisor and Facebook.

Best Restaurants With Veggie/Vegan Options

Dylan’s – Menai Bridge

Whilst not a restaurant dedicated to serving vegetarian and vegan food Dylan’s restaurant does have a great selection of dishes for those wishing to eat vegan or veggie food. Choices include Angharad’s tacos, hearty lentil ragu and Dylan’s poke bowl. If that’s not enough, how about Dyl’s plant-based burger, linguine or one of the great-tasting desserts available?

Catch 22 – Valley

With grilled Alex Gooch sourdough bread, goats cheese croquettes, red pepper hummus,  patatas bravas, baked broccoli & spinach kataifi pie and roasted cauliflower & green pea curry you won’t know what to choose first at Catch 22. They all sound super tempting to a vegetarian and there is plenty to choose from if you’re a vegan.

Best Takeaways For Veggies

Zapatismo- Llanfaelog

This food truck serves its delicious delights outside The House Of Ugly Fish showroom (a family-run artisan business, specialising in the creation of fully bespoke, handmade fused glass art).  The Mexican food truck sells Mexican street food and caters for both vegans and vegetarians. Head down Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday and try the charred cauliflower tacos or the smoked mushroom quesadillas and you will not be disappointed.

Best Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly Cafes

Surf Cafe – Rhosneigr

The garlic and thyme soya strips,  halloumi & mushroom bap or the vegan burger are all amazing. This cafe is located above Funsport in Rhosneigr just a stone’s throw from the water. The cafe sells fresh food, not fast food and you can tell – the quality food is served to perfection.

Best Pubs for Vegans and Vegetarians

Whether you fancy a starter, sharer, burger, salad, sandwich, pudding or just a side you will find vegan and veggie options such as BBQ cauliflower wings, cauliflower & red pepper curry, Mexican-style nachos or vegan crispy strips to tempt your tastebuds. The Standing Stones caters for all diets and gets great reviews on Google and Trip Advisor. We highly recommend visiting this pub in Holyhead.

Oyster Catcher – Rhosneigr 

Though famed for its seafood, the Oyster Catcher has made a conscious effort to cater to vegetarians and vegans. They have gone to great lengths to indicate which meals are suitable for vegetarians and which ones are plant-based.  At the time of writing the menu offers white bean hummus with pitta bread, nicoise salad and katsu cauliflower burger. Also on the menu is za’atar squash, falafel and Pembrokeshire organic halloumi salad – which I’m looking forward to trying next time.
