What’s Veggie Republic about?

Located on Cook Street opposite Slug & Lettuce and open Weds & Thurs (4-9pm), Fri (4-10pm), Sat (1-10pm) and Sun (1-8pm), Veggie Republic is an absolute gem that offers food so good it has turned meat eaters vegan!

Owners Chris and Germaine turned vegan after their forward thinking daughter, Lottie, decided not to harm animals and stop eating meat when she was 5 years old. After becoming vegan themselves, they filled a big gap in the market by opening Veggie Republic and haven’t looked back since — receiving many 5 star reviews and becoming one of the highest rated restaurants in the city!

What’s on the menu?

At Veggie Republic you can expect a wide range of vegan tapas plates from around the world — from kebabs to tofu to salt & pepper dishes to bao buns. There’s an incredible selection of dishes from Indian to Middle Eastern to Pan Asian to Pan American, rather than the limited vegan and veggie options you get in most tapas restaurants.

Germaine told us: “When you go to most tapas places, it’s almost as if they’ve thrown in a few vegan and veggie options as a token gesture. Our concept gives vegan and vegetarians a wide range of dishes from all over the world to choose from. We also have a kids menu, desserts, speciality teas and we’re fully licensed with our own beer. We have a new menu coming soon too and that will have some main dishes on as well.”

Our visit….

We visited on a Friday to see what the fuss has been about these past 3 years and find out why Veggie Republic is so highly rated amongst vegans, veggies and meat eaters alike. One of the highest rated restaurants in Liverpool on Trip Adviser, Finalists of the Vegetarian & Vegan Awards and with loads of 5 star reviews, they had to be doing something right.

As a meat eater I was curious about what vegan tapas would be like but I have to say I was next level! I enjoyed Calamari, Stuffed Portobello, Patatas Bravas and Salt & Pepper Tofu — all of which were top notch! The Salt & Pepper Tofu was tastier and healthier than chicken and the visit proved to me that being vegan doesn’t have to be boring! The restaurant is cosy and the staff are all amazing — it’s easy to see why so many people love it!

Why we love Veggie Republic….

Here at La Vida Liverpool, we love independents who break the mould and set trends and Veggie Republic have certainly done that — the first vegan restaurant in the city and pioneers of the vegan tapas concept. With such quality food and a real passion about everything they do, it’s no wonder they’re so highly rated by vegans, veggies and meat eaters alike. Whether you’re vegan, a veggie or a meat eater — get yourselves here asap!
