<p>Let&#8217;s start with the headliner &#8211; Stem + Glory Cambridge was crowned the best vegan restaurant in the UK in 2022, so if it&#8217;s award-winning plant-based grub you&#8217;re after, this is the place to be! This smart dog-friendly restaurant (with two other branches in London) really knows what it&#8217;s doing when it comes to plant-based food and is ideal for veggies and vegans who don&#8217;t want to eat somewhere where meat and fish is prepared alongside their meal. The entire menu is vegan and is made fresh on site by the chefs. Aside from the gorgeous cakes, brunch options and fine dining, our favourite part has to be the vegan bar serving&nbsp;cocktails, mocktails, craft beer and vegan wine.</p>

<p>This café, based around sustainable, plant-based food, is the brainchild of a group of friends who bravely launched it at the end of the first lockdown in July 2020. It has a garden terrace, venue for occasional live music/yoga/workshops and a terrific little menu, think roasted sweet potato and quinoa salad or creamy garlic mushroom pie and beetroot slaw, plus a great range of cakes. It&#8217;s dog-friendly too. </p>
