The 15 best vegan restaurants in Birmingham (October 2026)

Updated on 13 October 2026 · By Àlex González Iglesias, founder of Find It Fit

Find It Fit lists 144 places in Birmingham (United Kingdom): 65 restaurants, 45 cafés and 34 food shops. Of the restaurants and cafés, 37 are vegan, 18 have the menu analysed dish by dish (921 different dishes) and 11 have the price worked out from their menu. This guide picks the 15 whose menu offers the most, for anyone who eats nothing of animal origin.

How we choose

Nobody pays to be listed. Not to appear and not for the order. How we decide which places get in.
What the menu says comes first. For someone who eats vegan the best is a 100 % plant-based place: no hidden stocks, butter, egg in the pasta or fish sauce, and no frying in the same oil as meat (The Vegan Society). Otherwise, main dishes marked or unmistakably vegan, not sides. A menu scores if the whole place is vegan (45), for each vegan main (4, up to 32), for each different protein source such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, heura or legumes (3, up to 9), and for vegan desserts (5), plant milks (4) and dishes marked on the menu (5). Each place gets a score from 0 to 100 and the list follows that order; under each one you will see why, and the dishes that justify it. Verified information (claimed listing, own description, price from the menu) only breaks ties. The full criterion, with its sources.
Check with the place if you have an allergy or intolerance: menus change and this guide is not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

How many places to eat vegan are there in Birmingham?

Find It Fit lists 37 vegan restaurants and cafés in Birmingham, within a directory of 144 places in the city (65 restaurants, 45 cafés and 34 food shops). This guide picks the 15 with the most verified information.

How do you know a place is vegan?

For someone who eats vegan the best is a 100 % plant-based place: no hidden stocks, butter, egg in the pasta or fish sauce, and no frying in the same oil as meat (The Vegan Society). Otherwise, main dishes marked or unmistakably vegan, not sides. A menu scores if the whole place is vegan (45), for each vegan main (4, up to 32), for each different protein source such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, heura or legumes (3, up to 9), and for vegan desserts (5), plant milks (4) and dishes marked on the menu (5). Every menu is read dish by dish with that criterion and the place gets a score from 0 to 100; in each entry you will see the score, the reason and the dishes that justify it. Never from the name: «healthy», «fit» or «light» do not count.

Do restaurants pay to be on this list?

No. No place pays to appear or for its position. The order comes from how much verified information we have on each one: analysed menu, own description, price worked out from the menu and whether the business has claimed its listing.

When is it updated?

The guide is regenerated every day from the Find It Fit database; the month in the title shows the latest review. Places that close or change their menu drop out or move on their own.

What does each place’s score mean?

It is what its menu offers anyone who eats nothing of animal origin, from 0 to 100, with the criterion above. It does not measure how tasty the food is or the service: it measures what is written on the menu. A 60 with many valid dishes and sugar-free drinks is a better starting point than a 20 with «one salad». And it is the order of this list: the first is the one with the most points today.

What if I also need to eat gluten-free in Birmingham?

There is a separate guide to gluten-free restaurants in Birmingham, and in the app you can combine filters (vegan + gluten-free, for example) and see the map.
