Perfect date night or sit-down dinner

Cucina Rustica

A modern Italian restaurant in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter that prides itself on combining authentic Italian food with an elegant and relaxed atmosphere. Almost any dish from the menu can be made vegan with non-dairy cheeses and sauces available – just ask your waiter! Alternatively, order a classic vegan option like the delicious mushroom risotto below or a vegetarian pizza.

Itihaas

From their street food lunch menu to night-time fine dining, Itihaas is the perfect destination for all occasions. The setting is a combination of modern glass and slate with ancient artefacts making a comfortable setting for classic Indian dishes. Some of their customers all-time favourite vegan dishes include the potato & aubergine curry and ghol gappa pictured below.

Syriana

Serving a mix of Syrian and Lebanese dishes including mezzes, Syriana is a haven of tasty vegan and vegetarian food. Beaded lamps and Middle Eastern decor set the mood and regular events provide additional entertainment like traditional belly dancing evenings.

Fabulous lunch options

Damascena

From Turkish coffee and nibbles to lunch-time wraps and full course mezzes, Damascena has a plethora of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. The brand new Jewellery Quarter venue is their fourth location in Birmingham and stylishly decorated with modern furniture and middle eastern touches such as the stunning centrepiece lampshade of pierced metal.

Saint Kitchen

With loaded porridge bowls, wraps and vegan brownies, Saint Kitchen is a great choice for brunch or a quick catch-up over a cup of coffee. Recently re-opened under new management the cafe has completely overhauled its menu and is well worth re-discovering.
