“This hidden gem has it all - great food and drinks, the most wonderful host and hostess (Fabrizio and Leece) and the quirkiest décor! Great vegetarian and vegan options too. Once you've been here, you will keep going back,” added another.

The Orchid Vegan Restaurant

Location: 16 George Hudson Street, York, YO1 6LP

Rating: 4.8/5

Someone said: “Amazing food! So tasty! Great choices. We loved going to a fully vegan Chinese restaurant and would return again and again if we lived nearby. The restaurant also seemed busy which was great to see. The staff were lovely too.

“We had the duck pancakes, the chicken in black bean sauce and the Mongolian beef (my favourite) all were very good.”

Cranberry Swamp

Location: 24 Skinner Street, Whitby, YO21 3AJ

Rating: 4.7/5

A customer posted this compliment: “The vibe of this place is great! Wonderful vegan option for breakfast, the Mexican wrap (not a staple dish of Whitby it must be said, but they were BANGING either way).

“The coffee was really nice, though their niceness was bested by the endearingly polite staff.

“Northern hospitality carried out to perfection. Give this place a chance if you're passing through Whitby (goths definitely welcome).”
