Vegan Dundee


Oh Hello again!  We’ve had a little (long) break from blogging over the last few months, we have been so busy with work and I (Falda) have only been consuming bland, beige foods as a result of morning sickness until very recently! But what better way to kick off the blog again than with Rad Apples, another plant-based eatery, bar and venue in our very own sunny city.

It was Jilly’s Birthday, so we had the perfect excuse to go and eat A LOT of delicious food!  Rad Apples is such an inviting place and although in the evening is a bar and venue I felt quite at home taking my little vegan (2 years) in and she loved having a wee dance to the music which was playing.

What can I say, this menu is ridiculously good, it's not huge which makes it super easy to read and decide what you would like to try, in saying that, there are SO many mouth-watering burger options to choose from.

I opted for the Mac N Cheese Burger, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this was the best burger I’ve had, my husband tried it a week later for his birthday (yes I went straight back) and he said it was the best burger he’d had (vegan or not) I had to share mine with a little vegan with a big appetite so I ordered a side of fries and garlic mayo- YUM!

Jilly went for the Mac N Bacon Sub, and wow it looked good, and she assured me it was delicious too! The macaroni is amazing.  Okay, so we were super hungry so decided to share the Poutine too, Jilly had tried before and said it was super tasty and she was right; skin-on fries with gravy, bacon bits and cheese style curds- JUST WOW!!! This dish would also be perfect if you're in for a drink as a bar snack.

This really is one of the best places we’ve tried, its really well priced and the food is incredible, the staff were so lovely and it was fantastic to be able to see the chef cooking our food while we waited.  I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.  I took my non-vegan in-laws in to try a burger and they loved it too!  We can’t wait to try even more from Rad Apples including the dessert menu or their supply of Daisy Bakes Cakes.

We are so excited to be back blogging and would love to hear from you guys, let us know if there’s anywhere you’d like us to review on Instagram @vegandundee.

The Little Green Larder is a fantastic addition to Dundee's independent shopping scene. They offer the ultimate zero waste shopping experience, with a huge range of plastic-free products from everyday essentials to more specialist vegan ingredients. Launched in July 2019 by Jillian, you'll find The Little Green Larder at 272 Perth Road - a lovely area for an afternoon of indie shopping. Jillian is obviously so passionate about sustainable living, it shines through in her efforts to source local produce and she's more than happy to help with any questions you might have about zero-waste swaps.

They have a super simple refill system. You can take along your own containers which you weigh first, fill up, then scan and reweigh. The prices are all very clear (and affordable!) and all of the vegan items are marked with a green dot, including tasty pick 'n' mix! The refillable range includes cereals, snacks, grains, pulses, spices, baking supplies, oils and even cleaning products. The Little Green Larder also stocks local fruit, vegetables and bread. If that's not enough for you, you'll even find a selection of plastic-free household goodies - from bathroom essentials to skincare!

Check out The Little Green Larder on social media to find out about upcoming events as they work to spread the word about sustainable living and become an important part of the Dundee vegan community.

We kept hearing about the new vegan options at Patisserie Valerie so decided to check it out, as you know we love a piece of cake so trying a couple of the new raw cake flavours has been top of our list for a wee while.

Unfortunately, we were left a little disappointed with what was on offer here.  Yes, there were a few flavours to try but these were really the classic ‘healthy’ style vegan cake that we thought cafes had grown out of.  With so many delicious vegan options in Dundee, a small piece of cake with not a lot of flavour, we paid for quite grudgingly.  When you can get delicious vegan cookies, pick a mix and fudge donuts in our city this just didn’t cut it.

The staff were super friendly but did not have a good knowledge of what was vegan-friendly and what wasn’t which doesn’t leave you feeling confident.  Luckily all the vegan cakes were labeled and on the same covered plate.

It’s great that there are more options in chains, but with so many independent places opening up with amazing food on offer, i'ts definitely time for chains to step up their game.

We were delighted to be invited* to try some of the delicious menu at the all-new Marwick’s,  we have been patiently waiting for the reopening of Marwick’s Vegan Kitchen.  As Dundee's orignal plant-based café, we have always loved the delicious foods on offer, however, the new, improved Marwick’s Vegan Kitchen is on another level.

You can find Marwick’s underneath Lovely Things (where folk café used to be) and it is the dreamiest space.  It was pouring with rain when we arrived and I was pushing a big and soaking wet pram, we were greeted by Lois who was so welcoming.  The space is immediately lovely with fairy lights and calm colours, it has a beautiful cosy vibe which makes you long for winter.  We headed to the back which is close by the kids' area, equipped with everything to keep a little one occupied and happy, it's clear that Mike and Lois know exactly what kids (and parents) need.  Marwick’s makes it easy to relax while out with the whole family.

We were recommended the Pink Chai Latte which Jilly had and a Deluxe Hot Chocolate (cream and marshmallows) and a toddler size hot chocolate too.  These were so delicious, exactly what we needed to warm up on a chilly day, and who doesn’t love a pink drink?

For the next hour we were presented with tasters of delicious foods starting with the sharing platter, with lots of dips, jerky and vegetables this is the perfect nibble when you are in for a drink, we especially loved the dehydrated spiced kale.  Next up was a warm potato salad (Jilly’s favourite), ramen noodles (my favourite) and what can only be described as the best burger EVER, Two Cheese Truffle Burger, which even includes homemade bacon slices and a custom charcoal brioche bun (created especially for Marwick’s) we were absolutely stuffed, these dishes are truly special.  

My little vegan got to sample the children's menu and went for linguine with homemade sauce - this came with a side of fresh berries and fries.  She loved it and we took the leftovers home so she continued to eat throughout the afternoon.  

There's always room for cake… we got to sample three flavours of Dolce Treats: Key Lime and Turmeric, Chocolate Fudge and Mixed Berry, these come served with your choice of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.  These were just amazing.  We are both living for the Key Lime and Turmeric, it's so refreshing and light.  The other two are much richer but still stunning.  We will definitely be back for more.  

There really is something for everyone here, whether you are vegan or not, this a great place to bring the whole family.  There is no doubt that an incredible amount of work has gone into this fantastic menu and we can’t wait to try even more delicious creations from the incredible kitchen.

Marwick’s Vegan Kitchen is such a beautiful space, from the moment you walk in it is warm and inviting.  If you liked the original Marwick’s, you are going to love this bigger space and amazing menu.  It’s clear how much love has gone into creating these dishes, and speaking to the head chef, her passion for vegan cooking shone through.  Lois and Mike have created a truly incredible vegan experience here, this is not just a place to eat.
