Can anyone suggest a restaurant in or near Sheffield that serves the sort of traditional fare that keeps the oldies happy, whilst being aware that (eg) an omelette is not a vegan dish and can cater accordingly.

Also, they need to be open this Sunday evening (30 May).

Don't want much, do I? ;-)

hey, Im vegan too, thought i`d say hi :) kumquat-mae is a good veggie/vegan restaurant but don`t know if it`ll keep the oldies happy!!?

Any other veggies/vegans here? if so say hi, be cool to chat :)

hiya am as vegan as i can be

::raises hand::

another vegan here

veggie... but not quite vegan! One thing that annoys me about restaurants is the number of places that assume that all cheese is vegetarian, and some places even seem to think fish are plants!

Hey, cool to hear from other veggies/vegans in Sheffield. I do eat out sometimes and find it ok, restaurants in town seem to cater well, its the country pubs that dont.. and yes I get fed up with the "don`t you eat fish? " thing too!

Where do people hang out? I`m into corp, Nelson and Dove and Rainbow

might have passed you in nelson then not going tonight but most fridays/saturdays am in nelson,sportsman corp or casbah

Hello!

I'm a vegan too, I was walking along West Street earlier today, where I saw a sign outside a Mexican place (sorry, can't remember the name), which said 'vegetarians and vegans welcome'. It's near the Lebanese place. Might be worth a try for a change instead of Kumquat Mae (although that's very nice too!)

Hi, yeh the place on West Street is called Que-tal and they do quite a good selection of vegan food.

Hi f-g, you`ll have to say hi to me the next time you are in the Nelson :) I went last night before corp, was pretty cool, wicked cocktails!

i would love to go to kumquat mae again but its difficult making meat eaters go to a veggie restaurant

Curry is usually a safe bet, but if you don't fancy that, Showroom has a few vegan dishes in their menu, and there's usually one on the specials board.

That said, I tried their tofu dish last time and it was pretty awful. Nobody does tofu like them Eastern fellas.

Vegan also, but only recently, so still learning!!!!

any veggies/vegans or anyone else fancy all going for a meal there

the blue moon is excellent for vegan and veggie foods, just beside the cathedral...?

or if they will be adventurous, there's the kashmir opposite the east house pub, on spital hill.... they do excellent vegan and veg stuff (god! they even do a vegan Laasii!) the vegan soc go there and it is great.

do you know about the sheff vegan soc? They meet once a month, and they do a book called vegan varieties with excellent recipies in, and a mag called pulse

PM me for meeting details if you wish.....

Kumquat Mae is simply the best restaurant in Sheffield, and I’m a meat eater.

Blue Moon is an excellent choice for the city center as is the place above the health food shop near the Winter gardens, is it the "olive tree café" or something? both are great places to eat although i prefer the Blue Moon.

All are veggie and vegan only however so you might get a few moans curtesy of more skeptical eaters.

The best of both worlds is the interval café at Sheffield University; they do 50/50 ‘normal’ food and veg/vegan options.

Hi Vegans All

I'm vegan too, as much as poss. Very good to see some others out there making the effort to eat out. Its so difficult isn't it?

I would definately like to meet up for a meal, don't mind where, let me know when and where.

Well, wouldn't mind meeting a few vegans for a drink or two, a meal with a complete bunch of strangers might be weird though ;)

Hey fellow vegans, I just had a sunday lunch at the Fat Cat, there were three choices, it was great.
