15 venues in Aberdeen rated S to B for vegan, every tier backed by cited sources.
The menu states that the whole menu is vegan, except for the goat cheese salad and goat cheese waffle. FindMeGlutenFree lists the venue as a Vegan Restaurant, and the homepage describes it as “Vegan friendly.” Most dishes are clearly plant-based, with tofu, jackfruit, and plant milks used throughout. A few items contain dairy, such as goat cheese, feta, and regular cheese, but they are explicitly noted.
The vast majority of the menu is vegan or can be made vegan. HappyCow reviews repeatedly call it 'mainly vegan' with 'loads of vegan options'. One review described the dinner menu as 100% vegan. Dairy items such as milk, cheese, and eggs appear on the breakfast and lunch menu for vegetarian customers, so the kitchen is not fully vegan. The cafe offers oat, almond, coconut, and soy milks with no surcharge. It is a very strong choice for vegans, but some dairy ingredients are present.
BioCafe is a dedicated vegan restaurant, as stated on its own website and across multiple community listings. The entire menu is plant-based, making this a strongly trusted choice for vegans.
stockNearly every dish has a vegan version with house-made vegan cheese, vegan 'beef', and vegan 'meatballs'. Multiple HappyCow reviewers confirm tonnes of vegan options and a dedicated vegan/veggie menu. The menu clearly marks which items can be made vegan. The kitchen is family-run and strongly accommodates vegan diets, but it is not a fully vegan kitchen because it sells meat.
Foodstory is a vegetarian cafe with a very strong vegan offering. The dinner menu has been reported as 100% vegan by multiple HappyCow reviewers. The daytime menu includes numerous clearly labelled vegan options such as BLT focaccia, breakfast burrito, pancakes, porridge, salads, and cakes. One reviewer noted that vegan items are not always clearly labelled on the counter, but the allergens list can be consulted. Staff are described as helpful, and no surcharge is applied for vegan milks. This is a vegetarian kitchen that also serves some dairy and eggs during the day, so cross-contact is possible, but the menu is heavily weighted toward vegan food and the kitchen is accustomed to preparing it.
stockNearly every dish at La Tiendita Del Sabor is available in a vegan version, which uses house-made vegan cheese, 'beef', and 'meatballs'. HappyCow reviewers consistently mention 'lots of vegan options' and a dedicated vegan menu. The family-run kitchen clearly labels all vegan choices. Cross-contamination risk is low because the kitchen is already gluten-free and the vegan items are prepared with separate plant-based ingredients.
Al Fresco provides a separate vegan menu that includes pasta dishes, stuffed peppers, and risotto. The venue's website describes these dishes as "suitably designed for vegans". HappyCow lists the restaurant as a veg-options establishment with a separate vegan menu. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contamination with non-vegan ingredients remains a possibility.
stockA separate vegan menu is available on request. Vegan tapas include patatas bravas, grilled asparagus, ensalada marroqui, and couscous salad. Vegan paella is available but not on the main menu and can be requested from staff. One reviewer noted patatas bravas are fried in the same fryer as chicken, so not suitable for strict vegans avoiding cross-contact. Options are limited (around 2-3 vegan tapas plus sides).
Marked vegan (VE) on the menu, several dishes are served from a shared kitchen.
The menu marks vegan and dairy-free dishes clearly. Starters such as the Heritage Tomato Salad and mains including the Beetroot Galette carry a VE label. A dessert, the Rhubarb & Pistachio Parfait, is labelled VE/GF. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contamination is possible. Vegan diners have several options available.
stockHappyCow lists Cafe Harmony as a veg-options venue with vegan items clearly labelled on the menu, including hummus, bruschetta, vegetable tagine, mushroom risotto, and sorbet. The venue's own menu images show a separate vegan section. Staff are described as helpful. The kitchen is shared with meat and dairy dishes, so cross-contamination is possible.
Menu items are marked VG (Vegan) and the menu includes a dedicated Vegan filter on the national page. The kitchen is shared and no specific cross-contact mitigations are described, but the venue lists a wide range of vegan options including adaptations of classics. Vegan diners are still advised to check with staff about shared equipment (e.g. for cheese, butter).
The menu labels vegan options with "vg" and includes vegan pasta, pizza with vegan cheese, and some vegan starters. HappyCow notes that vegan options are available, including non-dairy cheese. The kitchen is shared, and gluten-free and vegan alternatives are prepared on request. A vegan reviewer reported enjoying a margherita pizza with vegan cheese. No dedicated vegan equipment is mentioned.
The lunch menu marks several dishes VG (vegan), and the website states vegan options are available on request. A HappyCow review confirms vegan pizza (with non-dairy cheese) and vegan pasta are available. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are reportedly accommodating. Best to confirm vegan options and preparation methods when ordering.
stockThe menu marks dishes VE (Vegan) and VEA (Vegan Option Available) across most pasta sections, and several starters and sides carry the VE tag. A dedicated vegan option is available for several dishes, including the Arrabbiata Spaghetti, Aglio Olio Peperoncino Pappardelle, and Rose Rigatoni. The kitchen is shared, with nothing suggesting a dedicated preparation area or separate cookware. Staff training on cross-contamination is not documented. This venue is best for vegans who can confirm details with the kitchen before ordering.
