Vegano in Newcastle upon Tyne

It was early sat night and managed to get a table without a booking as was quiet. I had the dirty doner and a mojito. We can't wait to come back again

I was introduced to this restraurant by my vegan colleagues at work and their meals have now become a regular treat for us. As a non-vegetarian, I was initially skeptical about it the first time but just went along with it. The experience however was amazing. The food is great and their chikn burgers and garlic fries are particularly excellent. I have set out to try everything on the menu and I am gradually getting there.

Delicious food and especially enjoyed the walnut and lentil pate; really recommended. Add to that the friendly service and the nice atmosphere and your evening can't go wrong. Just do it!

Insanely good food with very welcoming staff. Can't recommend enough

Absolutely lush food and a super lovely crew working here

Lovely vegan food and amazing service. I had a nduja pizza and an arancino carbonara, both were amazing.

Cute vegan restaurant, lots of options, some tastier than others. The vegan camembert was super tasty, however, the cheeseburger was way too cheesy to the point I couldn’t barely taste all the other ingredients! The tiramisu, as an Italian, it was disappointing. I wish it tasted more like coffee and less like alcohol! 100% would’ve taste better with less or no liquor. RE to owner: “Traditionally” the Tiramisu recipe includes eggs and mascarpone cheese, but that wasn't the main point I wanted to highlight. I’m fine with it containing alcohol, but if the alcohol overpowers the coffee flavor, then something might be off with the balance.

Amazing food! I had the Nduja Arancino and Beycon Double Cheez Burger...was a very welcome find! It is all made in house as well...will definitely be visiting again.

Amazing with allergies and delicious food.

Not my usual type of place to eat, being a meat eater. But the double cheese burger and fries were incredible you wouldn't know they were vegan. Highly recommend to try.

Small, fully plant-based café in Newcastle covering a wide range of guilty pleasures typically reserved only for the omnivorous among us. We had the ‘Carbonara’ Arancino and baked ‘camembert’ to start (but sadly wolfed down so quickly we forgot to photograph) followed by a Hawaiian pizza and mixed kebab. Whilst these are more commonly found on takeaway menus up and down the country, Vegano elevates them to restaurant quality dishes while still conjuring those familiar flavours later plant-based converts might still crave from time to time. Alongside this takeaway-esque fare were twists on Italian classics which we’ll be certain to try on our next visit! We came at a quiet part of the day, so the small venue easily accommodated us and were quick to provide warm service. No complaints and a lot to praise, certainly a must-visit spot for vegans or the vegan-curious in the area!

Delicious vegan food, welcoming staff and great atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the truffle pizza and garlic cheese fries.

Came for a coffee, sat outside on their small seating area and it's a great place to people watch and a little sun trap . Had a lush oat milk caramel ice latte. But what really made them great was there staff. Very attentive and friendly

Amazing vegan Restaurant, well worth a trip if you are in Newcastle. Great menu with regular specials and cocktails. It's cosy and comfortable and well priced.

really good vegan food here! we got so much food and it was all great :) The deep fried artichokes and carbonara arancino were particularly delicious! also the kebab was huge!! great service too and nice outdoor seating :) [the camembert was nice but a bit disappointing, it’s more of a cashew creme then a cheeze, which could be easily made at home, but I’m glad we tried it, everything else was exciting and delicious]

Absolutely blown away by this place, everything was gorgeous, presentation, service, taste, nothing I can complain about. Left a tip as well, worth it!

Amazing find. All Vegan menu. Highly recommend the freshly home made flat bread used for the wrap. Burger comes smash style. Milkshakes and deserts too.

Great staff, best I'm vegetarian, but this by far is the best Vegan food I have ever tasted.

First visit here and we'll be back until we've tried everything! Kind and attentive waitress and the yummiest food. The deep fried artichokes were stunning and the ultimate burger was the best vegan burger I've ever had. My friend had a pizza and it was fabulous!

I had the best meal at Vegano! The fried artichokes with gremolata were to die for, excellent montanara and delicious carbonara. Affable service and cosy ambiance. The service was a bit slow but, in their defence, there was only one waitress to serve the whole restaurant - which was full despite it being a rainy Wednesday night!

Went our for a meal with my friend after work here. I have been once before and the service and food were both excellent but this time the service wasn't as expected and we both came away feeling a bit frustrated. After we finished our main and the dishes were cleared away we decided we wanted a dessert, we tried getting the attention of the server on multiple occasions but no attempt was made to come over to us. In the end, I went over to the bar to ask if we could order dessert and the server told me she would come over. She still didn't come over immediately after we asked. I noticed other tables were being served desserts and drinks who had come in after us and think we just felt a bit invisible in the end. I've still placed the rating high because the food really was incredible.

Second visit here and it was just as good as the first. Staff and food was excellent.

Me and my friend had a game of girls vs food...and lost!!! 🙈 Amazing food but absolutely over ordered!

The food here is always absolutely delicious and gorgeously served. I often come with my friend who is vegan and although I'm not, it's one of my favourite restaurants in Newcastle! We've tried so much on the menu and cannot fault anything; it's all so tasty!! I'd definitely recommend the deep fried ravioli and Carbonara! The staff are always lovely and helpful too :) Really amazing place !

Staff where very helpful Food was delicious and well worth the price Place was nice and clean

Had such an amazing meal here. Our server was so helpful with our intolerances and the food was phenomenal!! Dog friendly as well

A fabulous find in Newcastle! Always a struggle to find a proper vegan restaurant while away from home but Vegano did NOT disappoint. A beautiful building and very inviting, well decorated interior welcomes you in. Although extremely quiet when I visited I'm aware this place gets rammed. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful and with an extensive looking menu with many choices. I had the ravioli to start and the ultimate chez burger for main. I was pleasantly shocked with the presentation of both and they were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious, clearly created with love and attention. Portions are great too, I struggled to fit it all in! Unbelievable that this is an independent place as it has the feel of a wider well funded franchise. I would recommend Vegano in an instant to fellow vegans but also to non vegans as if you were blind folded you would literally never know. So glad I found this place and made a boring overnight work trip much more enjoyable 😉

Love this place huge portions you will not leave hungry

I love vegano. The foods amazing although it could be a bit more varied away from burgers and kebabs. I had carbonara, it was fantastic, a friend got a kebab which was enormous so my husband would have loved it! The fried ravioli is amazing. It's casual dining and hits the spot! Only downsize is keeping the door open, it was getting a bit cold later on.

After a number of our favourite vegan spots have closed in recent years Vegano is seriously representing. The atmosphere was really relaxed, the food was excellent and the staff were so welcoming. My daughter was so excited when they brought her out icecream with a separate bowl of spinklers. Thank you. Vegano is a must try for vegans and non vegans alike. I will be back to try the kebab.

Hands down, the BEST vegan doner kebab I have had in the past 11 years of being vegan. I can’t get over how tasty it was. Lovely and friendly staff too.

Fantastic service above and beyond, kindness and support when we needed it most. Wonderful food, full of flavour and looked Divine. Cannot wait to return Xxxx Thank you all again

Portion size of that kebab was insane, and was so good! Friend ordered the Hawaiian pizza and said it was amazing too :)

Food was lovely, unfortunately that’s where it ended. We visited as a family with my 2 year old son, they didn’t have any highchairs so I had to prop him up on the seat with cushions, they also didn’t have a kids menu but were happy to do a half portion of pasta for him. He was happily toddling around the empty restaurant, then a server told me I had to keep ahold of him as they had the door open and it’s near a road. I know my child and I know he wouldn’t run out of the door, he enjoys wandering round and wouldn’t go further than a few feet away from me. Not to mention I didn’t even have a high chair to contain him in. The drinks were then brought over, 2 of which being a coke and Diet Coke, the server had forgotten which one was which, said sorry and went back to the bar. I was the last one finishing off my meal and all the plates were taken away before I had finished which made me feel uncomfortable. Then my son dropped his bib behind the bench we were sitting on, my partner leaned over to get it and was shouted at that the picture behind him wasn’t attached to the wall, not in a ‘be careful’ way but more like he was being scolded. I just didn’t think it was a very nice atmosphere, the music was too loud and unfortunately we won’t be returning, despite how nice the food was.

Could not recommend their pizza enough!

Came this afternoon with my mam. Lovely staff member and even lovelier food. I had the camembert starter and it was literally gorgeous. Carbonara for my main. It was generally delicious and am over the moon to have experienced this vegan restaurant and the choices that were available for someone who is vegan. I can't wait to go back to try more menu options. It is normally quite difficult to find vegan options but it seems there are loads of choices here. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

This is my all time favourite vegan restaurant in Newcastle - I visit with my family for every occasion. They do the most amazing pizzas/burgers/kebabs/starters everything I have tried has been impeccable. The staff cater to your every need and are friendly and warm. They also do a lovely cocktail menu and they have made us non-alcoholic cocktails in the past too. This one isn’t a miss for vegans/non-vegans in the North East. Parking is easy too as there is a car park right behind.

I came here for them opening at 12pm and was immediately let in by the loveliest server. I ordered a flavoured latte, a burger and the truffle parmesan fries. I have coeliac disease and the care that went into explaining which items are gf and what they could make gf on request was perfect. I felt so accommodated and everything was absolutely delicious. I absolutely will be coming back here - thank you so much again for quite possibly the best food I’ve eaten in Newcastle!!

The food was great and so too were the staff (owners I think.) Definitely recommend coming here only a 10 minute walk from the arena and close to the train station. The cocktails were great too.

Went to Vegano last night. Food was absolutely delicious. We had the Camembert and ravioli as starters followed by the mixed kebabs and a side of mac n cheese. We took our three gorgeous ice creams to eat walking to the pub! Staff are so lovely and portions super generous. Love this place! Not surprised they did so well in a national kebab competition this week (they came third!), that is quite something and very well deserved!

We dropped in without a reservation before a concert at the Arena and they managed to fit us in. We're not vegan but the food was fabulous - tasty, piping hot and good value for money. A real find. Attentive (but not in your face) staff.

Absolutely delicious food! I couldn't believe how amazing everything was. All of it was so fresh. Very relaxing atmosphere and the staff were all really friendly. We only wish we had bigger stomachs to fit more food in! We're visiting from Scotland but wouldn't be against driving back down just to come here.

Food was very tasty and very well presented. We found the portions rather large and struggled to eat it all. Good menu selection. Service was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful. The music playlist was brilliant and atmosphere was nice. A very relaxing place to eat. Highly recommend.

Food was excellent! Was initially a bit disappointed as there weren't pizzas available the evening we went, but we got a range of starters and sides which were all delicious! Cocktails were great too. Staff were very friendly and helpful so would still recommend a visit.

Some of the best vegan food we have had, I had the vegan mixed kebab and honestly feels and tastes just like the best late night drunken kebab on the way home after a night out. Excellent portion size with all the sauce and fixings you would expect, side note the cheesy garlic fries were also phenomenal. Great small cafe atmosphere with super friendly service, the servers do not hover they don't conatboy pester but are always close enough by if you require something else. We will be making this a staple of our Newcastle visits.

Absolutely delicious food, great service and great tunes to match! Vegan food can easily compare to other food in quality - maybe even surpass? :)

Always delicious food and great service at Vegano. I have been several times now and the standard is always excellent. I recommend their vegan camembert which is delicious

Great food and amazing service.

First time visiting Vegano, we just picked up food to go for our daughter, lovely friendly staff, restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, dim lights, candles, nice place to sit in, we did sit whilst waiting for our order, which did not take too long. We ordered the mixed Kebab, which came with fries, the deep fried Ravioli and a tub of coleslaw, too much for 1 person, but it's what my daughter wanted to try, the kebab is huge and honestly on opening smelled like our kebabs, (we eat meat, daughter does not) you could smell all the veg, sauces etc, she absolutely loved it and she loved the crunchiness of the Ravioli, this came with a tub of sauce too, all absolutely amazing, compliments to the chef who made these, will definitely be back, thank you. I noticed they have a go fund me page for animals they rescue if anyone can help please do.

Our second visit to Veganos this week. On our first visit it was quite quiet but still a cool atmosphere, it was relaxing and calm. However our second visit, the place was booming, so I would recommend to book up folks. The food is fresh and full of flavour. My partner and I shared the fried ravioli for a starter, she had the Wor Donna kebab and I had the Margarita pizza for main. Both courses were delicious and very filling. The portions are generous but that didn’t stop us from scramming the lot !!! My pizza was divine, with a top notch vegan “cheese” the kebab was packed with fresh salad, succulent “meat” and topped off with some delicious sauces wrapped in a soft flatbread type wrap. Staff are helpful, friendly and attentive. Both visits we were greeted with a warm welcome and sent off with a happy goodbye. If you want to experience possible the best vegan food in the north east get yourself over to Veganos pronto !!!

Wonderful for solo, couples and parties. Lovely warm, inviting staff. The café/restaurant has a buzz of a New York loft department.

Simply the best vegan restaurant in the NE. Nothing comes close.

While staying in Newcastle, I took my vegetarian girlfriend for a meal and was recommended to go here by a veggie colleague. The surroundings are pleasant enough. Lady who served us seemed disinterested. Both of our pizzas were covered in some sort of oil slick which seemed to be acting as a means of hiding the lack of flavour. Seemed very pricey and we were both unwell afterwards. I will not be returning.

Went out for birthday, first time. Great food,great portion sizes and fantastic service. Love the cocktails and the presentation and the music Only few negatives, bit dark, cant feel the heating as the door is open a jar and there is only 1 loo

Great vegan burgers, with generous portion sizes. Service was attentive, welcoming and professional; would definitely recommend if you're in Newcastle and looking to support a vegan business.

First time visiting and will definitely be back next time we are in Newcastle. Unfortunately we didn't have much time so would love to try more of the menu.

Lovely vegan meal, even the meat eaters were happy.

First time at vegano yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the carbonara my hubby had the burger with bbq sauce. The staff were lovely, will definitely be coming back with friends next time so i can indulge in all of your wonderful food.

Come here every time I go to Newcastle. Such incredible food and good service. So nice to come to a restaurant where I can eat anything on the menu. Such a range of great food, cannot say enough good things about this place.

Definitely the worst place I've tried in Newcastle in two weeks. I had the Wor Dirty Diner and I upgraded to have the Truffle Fries. I was given a ridiculous portion of fries with nothing on it. The place wasn't busy so I don't understand how difficult it can be to make a portion of fries. The wrap was filled with salad, so obviously was cold. There really wasn't anything else in it, you had to use your imagination to taste the veggie "meat".

We’ve been to Vegano a couple of times after our decision to become vegan we love the place it’s very relaxed the staff are around but not intrusive , the food is top notch especially the deep fried artichoke! Lots of gluten free options too , can’t rate vegano enough , we will be back again and again x

I'm not a vegan but there dirty Donna's are fantastic best Donna in the North East

Absolutely loved the food here! It was truly amazing! The camembert was unreal! I would have loved to have given 5 stars but unfortunately the leaving the front door open in the middle of autumn/winter to allow air to circulate kitchen was a bit disappointing, think its fair to say that needs to be addressed. And I think someone got our vanilla milkshake order mixed up as they were banana flavoured for some reason. But starters and mains were impressive, the carbonara was fantastic! Thank you for bringing amazing vegan food to the public!

I had the ultimate cheez burger it was absolutely delicious well done guy's would recommend to everyone 😊

Blown away by the flavours and the thought behind each dish we had. I shared the deep fried ravioli, deep fried artichokes and deep fried pizza dough to start (love a bit of deep frying every now and then!) and they were all so, so good! Could have eaten a mountain of each of them. I then had the mixed kebab with truffle Parmesan fries. Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. Loved all the sauces in the kebab, definitely the best kebab I’ve ever had. I stole a cheeky slice of my sister’s margarita pizza and that was delicious too. I then had the Amalfi lemon cake for dessert, it was soft and fluffy and melted in my mouth. Beautiful. Thanks to the team for a memorable dinner, everything was perfect.

We had 2 pretend chicken wraps, spaghetti arrabbiata and carbonara. Ok quality, not much pretend chicken though. Facon was ok. Didn’t have large beer bottles and main door had to stay open to aid air circulation in the kitchen. Had it been a warm summer night, no problem. It was freezing though! An ok experience, albeit expensive.

The cafe is very laid back and the staff are so friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and great value. Can't wait to come back again!

Wow... I am not vegan but my partner is so we decided to try this place and my god all the food we got was out of this world! The food came really quickly, I wish I had got photos of it but I was too hungry to wait 😅 small yet quirky place, would recommend booking.

Food is amazing, decor is excellent and staff are fantastic. Newcastle should be proud of this place 👏

We stopped here before the football without a booking and we were looked after by the friendly staff. The food didn't take too long and was all absolutely beautiful. I had the Nduja pizza which was one of the best tasting pizzas I've ever had (and I eat a LOT of pizza). The rest of my group had the doner kebab and the carbonara which were both exceptional too (also massive portions). We had the deep fried ravioli to share too which was great. Honestly, I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you're anywhere near Newcastle, do yourself a favour and turn up here with an empty stomach and let them take care of you. We will 100% be back again! Thank you

Phenomenal restaurant! Amazing food, staff, ethos and zero cruelty! Best vegan food around. Never ever disappoints.

Absolutely amazing food, we were blown away! I had the chickn kebab which was so delicious, and my other half had the pasta carbonara which was fabulous. Lovely staff, so friendly and welcoming. The range of desserts looked very tempting but we were too full - definitely coming back to try the pizza and cakes.

Great, fresh vegan food in a lovely restaurant with lovely staff. I'd highly recommend a visit!

Great vegan food and an awesome soundtrack of music.

This is one of the best vegan restaurants me and my partner have been to, not just in Newcastle but the entire UK. We highly recommend their deep fried ravioli and truffle pizza. The cocktails and desserts are amazing too. Great staff, super friendly and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Lovely vegan restaurant with a great vibe and great food. Definitely worth a trip

Vegan donner kebab was great. Really helpful staff and prices decent.

Excellent food, great staff, good vibes. What else do you need in a restaurant?

Best vegan gaff in the toon. We got the camembert, carbonara and double bacon smash burger and couldn't fault any of it, will definitely be returning when in Newcastle!

The dining area is about medium sized, definitely think about making a reservation before coming and finding the place crowded. Dogs are welcome here, as long as they're on a leash. From what I can tell (I had only one dish, the Mixed Kebab) the food is unbelievably good! The vegetables are fresh, the meat substitutes tasty and have the perfect consistency and sauces add that extra flavor pop! If you like fries crispy on the outside but with some mass to them, you're also at the right place here! The interior design is clean, spacious, warm and cozy, although a little dim. Could use seating cushions, I think. What it's lacking in lighting, it makes up for in music. Unintrusive good mood evergreens played at just the right volume. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, towards locals and tourists (me) alike. Noteworthy: a glass of tap water comes with a slice of lemon! Cool move, Vegano! ;) I will definitely come here again and I recommend everyone, vegan or not, to do the same!

Loved the garlic bread pizza with cheese!! Great vegan food! Will be back when I can

I can never fault Vegano. Their food is amazing and their menu is a great size with several GF options. My non-vegan/vegetarian dad even loved his food and is excited to come back. Staff are always lovely too, very polite and great to chat to!

Delicious breakfast . I eaten every scrap. They even opened early for me after doing parkrun. Highly recommended

Fantastic food. Very tasty. Lovely atmosphere here and very nice staff. I wasn’t even that hungry but whoever is in the kitchen definitely knows what they are doing.

Sooo lush!! and the staff were so sweet and lovely! will be back 🥳🥳

Absolutely fantastic service and food (I had the mixed kebab which was massive and delicious)

Loved it. Decided to pop in today for some lunch and a couple drinks. Food was amazing will defo be coming back

Very Expensive. Found a hair in my pasta. They offered chicken in the pasta but milk shake had hemp or something. So found the options confusing. The waitress was very nice.

friendly staff and quick service. it is pricey considering it isn’t near the city centre however worth paying to support your local businesses :) side note: i am not usually a fan this was the best vegan pizza ive had so far; their homemade mozzarella makes a huge difference in flavour

Had an amazing dinner here. Spaghetti carbonara was delicious and their pizzas are glorious. We were really impressed with the vegan tiramisu (my fave dessert) and cheesecake. Normally we eat a vegetarian diet but this meal really blew us away in terms of taste and quality. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend, even if your diet isn't normally vegan.

A gem in Newcastle, 100% vegan restaurant. The food is incredible and you have lots to choose from including dessert. The cocktails are also good!

My friend and I dined in for lunch. The decoration is minimal, clean and simple, and feels so cosy. I love the cute drawing of the sheep on the wall. I tried one of their special pasta "Chikn Arrabiata with Rigatoni." It smells nice and tastes so yummy! They also have hot coffee and cold drinks like smoothies. So good for summer!

We tried Vegano on the Quayside one Sunday and it certainly did not disappoint. As a result, we ended up ordering a take out a few weeks later. Pizzas are amazing and Wor Dirty Doner was delicious! My partner, who isn't vegan, loved their meals. Absolutely recommend this little gem!

Amazing place serving delicious food, the menu is all vegan and the food is amazing. Would totally recommend the ravioli starter, the food was soo good we had to return 2 days later for a second helping 😊

Food was amazing, sooo tasty! Would definitely recommend! Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Starter, main and dessert all top notch ☺

Food was amazing, sooo tasty! Would definitely recommend! Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Starter, main and dessert all top notch ☺

I didn't have food (but will next time) the latte was delicious. Didn't think oatmilk could taste so good. Visiting made me think about our care for animals and dairy products. Will definitely call again.

Love this place! Wonderful food, great atmosphere, amazing staff 😀

We had a family meal for our daughter's birthday. She's vegan and had been to Vegano previously. We ordered a range of different dishes from the menu which is quite varied with dishes that replicate some of the "traditional" meals but in vegan form. For example there's a kebab, several pizzas and pasta dishes. There's a selection of starters and desserts. The opinions of our party of the different dishes ranged from "quite nice" to "lovely" with everyone enjoying the meal a lot. The service was very friendly and welcoming.

The hours aren't the most convenient for trying to visit on holiday, without basing the holiday around it. That said, once we finally got to try Vegano, it was more than worth the wait. The food portion was quite big, and more than worth the money. The milkshake was delicious, and my partner's cheesy garlic bread pizza was even great cold.
