Best vegan restaurants in Newcastle

Momo Wholefood

Newcastle · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

The menu is almost entirely vegan by default, with the only non-vegan items being dairy butter, milk, honey, and eggs, offered upon request. Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm that all items on the menu are vegan and that basically everything is vegan. Plant-based milks, oat, soy, almond, and coconut, along with vegan butter are used as standard. A very safe choice for vegans, though dairy and honey are available if asked.

Vego's Vegetarian Fast Food

Islington · Vegetarian · Vegan · €

The entire menu centres on vegan and vegetarian fast food. House-made vegan beef-style patties, chicken-style patties, vegan nuggets, vegan mayo, vegan satay sauce, and vegan cheese (a $1.50 swap) are standard. Almost every dish is vegan as described; the only non-vegan items are halloumi dishes and regular cheese, both of which can be substituted. The kitchen operates with a fully plant-based focus.

Bella Italia

Newcastle West · Italian · Vegan · €⁠€

Bella Italia offers a separate vegan menu. That menu includes multiple starters, a vegan garlic pizza with vegan cheese, gnocchi alla sorrentina, mushroom risotto (vegan option on request), pizza zucca, vegamisu, and clearly marked vegan wines. Multiple HappyCow reviewers confirm dedicated vegan options, a vegan cheese option, and knowledgeable staff. The menu itself marks items clearly. The kitchen is shared, but the vegan offering is comprehensive and well-signposted.

Equium Social

Mayfield East · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€⁠€

One of the owners is vegan. The menu clearly marks vegan options, using the labels "vegan" and "vegan opt". Many dishes can be veganised on request. The kitchen is shared with meat and dairy, but the owner's personal stake ensures a strong understanding of vegan needs.

HUMBUG

Newcastle · · €⁠€⁠€⁠€

Humbug offers a separate vegan menu and a vegan 'feed me' banquet option, with dishes such as zucchini flowers stuffed with smoked almond ricotta, mushroom dumplings, pistachio pesto malfadine, and coconut panna cotta. Two HappyCow vegans have praised the experience. The kitchen is shared, however, and the vegan menu is available upon request rather than as a default offering. The AGFG listing flags 'Vegan Options'. This is a reliable but not dedicated setup, and staff can accommodate well when asked.

The Falcon Restaurant

Newcastle · Vegan · Cafe · €⁠€

The Falcon offers several clearly labelled vegan options, including vegan jambalaya, vegan mac and cheese, and vegan nachos. The menu marks items VG (vegan) and V (vegetarian). HappyCow reviewers consistently praise the vegan dishes. However, the kitchen is not fully dedicated—the menu also serves meat, chicken, and dairy—so cross-contamination is a possibility. Ask staff for details on shared fryers and prep surfaces.

Light Years - Newcastle

Newcastle · · €⁠€

Several vegan options are available (smashed cucumbers, wild truffled mushrooms bao, eggplant katsu, miso caramel eggplant, tofu san choy bow, turmeric & coconut cauliflower curry, mango & coconut sago) and vegan diners report the staff will adapt dishes by removing butter or other non-vegan ingredients. The menu marks (v) for vegetarian items, not specifically vegan. A vegan banquet is available on request. Shared kitchen with no dedicated prep area.

Rascal

Newcastle · Fast food · €⁠€

Rascal has labelled vegan options. Among them are two vegan burgers, one with a Veef patty, and a vegan mac and cheese. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. Vegan items are clearly marked on the menu.

The Humble thai restaurant

Newcastle · Thai · €⁠€

Vegan options are available on request. The menu lists vegetarian dishes, such as pad thai, stir-fry, and panang curry, that staff confirm can be made vegan. Guests should specify no egg or fish/oyster sauce when ordering. The kitchen is not fully vegan and shared equipment is used, so cross-contamination with animal products is possible.

East End Hub

Newcastle · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

A Google reviewer noted the venue 'was great with vegan options' for a large group booking. The kitchen is shared, and the menu does not mark vegan dishes on the supplied source pages. Staff appear willing to accommodate, but there is no dedicated prep area. Confirmation of options upon arrival is recommended.

THE ARK NEWCASTLE INDIAN RESTAURANT

Wickham · Indian · €⁠€⁠€⁠€

The AGFG listing tags the venue as having vegan options, and the menu includes items marked DF (dairy-free) and GFO that may be suitable. No separate preparation area or equipment for vegan cooking is mentioned, and many dishes contain dairy, egg, or ghee. Vegans should discuss specific dishes and cross-contamination risks with staff.
