When I visited York with my mum we were pleasantly surprised at how many vegan options York has. Everywhere we looked there were signs reading “vegan” outside cafes and restaurants, whether they were vegan friendly or 100% vegan. In this blog post I am sharing with you 5 vegan friendly places to eat in York. Obviously there were many more places which looked amazing but these are the ones that I visited in the 3 days I was there.

1. Double Dutch Pancake House
One of my favourite meals that I had in York was at the Double Dutch Pancake House, located on Church Street. They had so many vegan options so we got 2 pancakes to share, a sweet and a savoury one. We had the Festive Pancake which had vegan chicken, bacon cheese and cranberry sauce and a sweet one with vegan nutella (best thing ever!), strawberries, and flaked almonds.
2. The Orchid Vegan
Located on George Hudson St, The Orchid Vegan is an Asian fusion 100% vegan restaurant. For starters we had the prawns and calamari and then the lemon chicken and Cantonese Style Pork Char Siu. We also had “egg” (tofu) fried rice. For dessert we shared the blackcurrant dessert which was a biscuit base with blackcurrant mousse. Everything tasted incredible and very realistic. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. Would 100% recommend it even for non-vegans.
3. Mr Chippy York
Found this fish and chip shop by accident as their “Vegan Menu” caught my eye when walking past. We had the vegan fish and chips and mushy pea-evs (kievs). They even had vegan tartare sauce which was really nice. It is located on Church Street.
4. Dog's Nose Taqueria
Located in Spark, a food court with bars and eateries in upcycled shipping containers, Dog's Nose Taqueria is an 100% vegan Mexican restaurant. I got the Cali Burrito habanero tofu, rice, beans, chips, pico de gallo, pickled cabbage and chipotle mayo, and it was delicious.
5. Doe Bakehouse
Right opposite the Double Dutch Pancake House on Church Street, you can find Doe Bakehouse which has a lovely range of doughnuts, including vegan ones. I got the vegan caramel, apple and biscoff doughnut and my mum got the biscoff one. As we went quite late in the evening, the doughnuts were half price which was a bonus.
If you are in York during Christmas time, you can find delicious vegan hot dogs sold at the Dog Haus in the Winter Village at the York Minster.
