Many places in Whitby don't just offer vegan and vegetarian food. They offer FANTASTIC vegan and vegetarian food!
There might not be many specifically dedicated vegetarian or vegan restaurants in Whitby; however, many places offer tasty and unique vegan and vegetarian food on their menus. Therefore, we have compiled a list of places to get the best vegan and vegetarian food in Whitby.
Sanders Yard Bistro
Sanders Yard Bistro gets rave reviews. When we visit Whitby, it is always full, and there is often a queue to get in. This means one thing: the food is excellent!
Whitby Mini Guide
We have created a FREE mini-guide with all the essential information about Whitby, now available for instant download.
You can get a complete vegan breakfast with falafel, hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and toast here. Or you can get a full vegetarian breakfast including Quorn sausages, hash browns, a free-range egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and toast. If you are after a sweeter veggie breakfast, we highly recommend the French toast!
There are also daytime, evening, sharing platter, and Greek menus. None disappoints, and all menus have vegetarian and vegan options. We recommend the Vegan Platter, which includes baked Greek beans, stuffed vine leaves, creamy humus and mixed olives, roasted red peppers, tomato salsa, spiced falafel, pita bread, and a dressed salad served with fries or garlic-roasted potatoes.

Humble Pie and Mash
Humble Pie and Mash has to be one of our favourite spots to visit in Whitby. The pies are homemade, tasty and comforting. Of course, we always think of meat when we think of pie and mash, but they also offer a range of vegan and vegetarian pies.
They also have a vegan woodland mushroom and ale pie made with earthy mushrooms, carrots, and onions, then delicately seasoned with rich gravy (vegan). The pie is crowned with a vegan puff pastry lid laced with soya milk and thyme. This can be made as a meal with vegan mash, gravy and the choice of garden or mushy peas.

Cranberry Swamp
Cranberry Swamp is a friendly cafe on Skinner Street that serves many light meals throughout the day. It offers a selection of tasty vegetarian and vegan options, such as mixed bean chilli, panini's with different fillings that can all be made with vegan cheese, and falafel salad.
We have tried and tested all of these, and they are delicious. They specialise in gluten-free food, meat dishes, and vegan and vegetarian dishes. This is an excellent option after a vegan or vegetarian meal in Whitby.
Allergens and ingrediants are listed on their website.

Rusty Shears
Rusty Shears is located just off Silver Street, so it is often overlooked, but we assure you it is a must-visit when coming to Whitby. They serve the tastiest homemade cakes and pastries, speciality teas, coffees and over 150 gins.
Rusty Shears hosts bistro evenings, during which their chefs are given freedom to create exciting menus.
They feature a Countryside Platter which is vegan and includes antipasti, olives, beetroot, hummus, falafels and local bread, a smashed avocado bagel with fresh coriander, Urfa chilli and charred Lime and plenty on the specials board to try.

Mr Cooper's Coffee House
Mr. Cooper's Coffee House is a cosy coffee shop that stands out for its welcoming atmosphere and incredible coffee and bagels. Their incredible selection of bagels boasts unique combos, all freshly made to order. Their brews are equally impressive, featuring a range of beautiful, aromatic coffees and teas.
During a recent visit, we tried the vegan takeout lunch. We savoured bagels packed with vibrant pea purée and creamy vegan feta, complemented by a refreshing salad mix. This place makes vegan food exciting.

Pizza West
Pizza West on the West Cliff has perfect views and perfect pizza to accompany them. They cater to all dietary needs, and whether you are vegan, gluten-free, or celiac, they are happy to adapt dishes to suit you.
All their pizzas are hand-stretched and topped with Fior di Latte mozzarella. Vegan cheese and gluten-free bases are available on request.
We love the pineapple, house-cured jalapeños, honey, lime, San Marzano tomatoes pizza and courgette spaghetti with aubergine, tomato and grilled peppers.

Pescado Lounge
Pescado Lounge is all about bringing people together. Its diverse menu caters to everyone, featuring dedicated choices for gluten-free and vegan customers and even options for Little Loungers. There’s always something happening, from board games and toys to daily deals and special events. We’re huge fans of this restaurant chain; it’s bright, spacious, and affordable.
Families and dogs are warmly welcomed here, and the menu includes plenty of selections for kids, vegans, and those with gluten sensitivities.
Our go-to brunch pick is the Lounge Eggs, served with spinach and mushrooms—it’s simply delicious! They also offer fantastic tapas and a variety of main dishes.
