Over the years vegetarian options have become increasingly popular, making it easier for people looking to cut down on their meat consumption to eat out.
However, it can be a challenge to find a nice spot to eat that offers a wide range of veggie options.
Being vegetarian myself, I love nothing more than knowing where I can get my fix so I’ve listed numerous cafes in Dundee that can cater to your vegetarian and even your vegan needs when eating out.
The Flame Tree Café
The Flame Tree Café is an independent venue in Dundee’s city centre that serves a flavourful and varied menu that accommodates all dietary needs.
From home-baked goods, freshly pressed juices, milkshakes and their famous rainbow bagels, there’s plenty to tuck into.
This cafe serves a full vegetarian and vegan menu that includes vegan BLTs, vegan bacon and cheese rolls, brie and cranberry croissants, and avocado toast with various add-ons.
They also offer vegetarian-friendly soups, paninis, salads and wraps.

The Bach
The Bach is a small, independent café-restaurant in the heart of Dundee, close to BrewDog and the McManus Gallery at Meadowside.
It is owned by a New Zealand couple who want to incorporate their Kiwi roots while creating a cosy and casual atmosphere.
Every day for brunch, they serve a wide range of exciting vegetarian options such as crispy tofu bao buns, halloumi bagels, vegetarian haggis eggs benedict and tempeh tacos.
This tasty selection of vegetarian food will make your mouth water.

Everything on the menu is vegan, and you can get a baked potato with fillings like chunky chickpea toona, coronation cheekin, and veg fajita.
