Best Vegan Fast Food Restaurants in Brighton
Gone are the days where eating vegan means sludgy tofu and ‘cheese’ that tastes of cardboard.
We are now spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing plant based snacks. It's not just vegans who love to tuck in to a meat free treat - vegetarians, flexitarians and full on meat eaters are going meat free too!
Whether you’re after a juicy kebab, freshly rolled sushi, or the seaside classic - fish and chips, Brighton’s vegan food scene has something for everyone. Here are some of the best;
1) Happy Maki
If you love sushi, or even if you think you dont - you need to try a sushi burrito from Happy Maki.
They have two locations in Brighton - one on the seafront and one in the North Laines and both open seven days a week.
The hoisin duck, sweet chilli chicken, crispy cod tartare and avocado k.i.s.s are some of their most popular burritos. If that isn't enough they also do a range of poke bowls, sides and sushi bowls which do not disappoint.
Happy Maki’s founder, Anna, is passionate about Gift Economy and feels this is the only way to operate a truly ethical business. They operate on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis, making this an inclusive option for everyone.
