Maya Prince. Global Tribe on Swan Street does tofu so well. Loads of well-known dishes with a tofu element, including a full English!

Jake Garbutt. Humpit near the Corn Exchange - essentially hummus and pitta, but with lots of toppings and sides too.

Jenny Aston. 2 Oxford Place is quite fancy and it has a vegan menu, plus it’s all gluten-free. I love the aubergine curry.

Alex Leith. Hansa’s. Vegan Indian cuisine is such a good idea. Lots of pulses.

Jonny Leigh. Grove Cafe does vegan pizza! It’s also a takeaway so they deliver.

Richard Manning. Filmore and Union in Moortown - very welcoming place with lots of vegan options and a great brunch offer.

Alice Freeman. Hyde Park Book Club near Headingley does good vegan meals, including its ‘fake meat’ range.

Ruairi Barrett. Inkwell Arts in Chapel Allerton run a vegan and veggie cafe on a Saturday and it’s great. They use produce from their own garden, it’s for charity and it’s served by volunteers.

Dominic Clay. I prefer healthy cafes that do vegan and non-vegan choices so you can go in a large group and there’s something to suit everyone. Filmore and Union in the Victoria Quarter is good for that reason.

Izzy O’Neill. That Old Chestnut is a really good place to stock up on vegan snacks and great for naughty treats.

Charlotte Hagan. Often overlooked but Kith and Kin in Chapel Allerton does vegan choices, using ingredients from local allotment growers.

David Thorpe. I get all my essentials from Millie’s, good range of brands and ingredients for vegan cooking.

Francesca Cardini. Worth looking round the indoor market as some of the stalls are starting to cater for vegan cooks.
