I may be visiting soon and was wondering if anyone on VB knew of places to eat?

My search on HappyCow has proved fruitless, any suggestions?


Thanks in advance :)

Isn't Perth tiny?

Umm, no idea!

I went years ago and it seemed pretty big, with shopping centres etc.

I suppose there's always a chinese restaurant or something.

I dunno, it's probably one of those things I just decided.
Yeah, chinese is always good.

there is a pretty good restaurant and cafe section on this bit of the perth website: http://www.perthcity.co.uk/index.asp?cat=Eating%20Out

looks like there are a few chinese and indian restaurants, and one place mentions vegetarian options specifically (looks like a wetherspoons type chain pub). the mexican restaurant claims to have over 10 veggie dishes! wooh hoo! they look pretty good, too. their link on the perth city site is wrong, correct address seems to be: http://www.amigosrestaurant.co.uk/

i spose thats a start. you should do fine. i've been to pretty rural parts scotland a couple times and never found it too hard to get something half decent.

Thanks, looks like going for a chinese will still be the best option.

Amigos has lacto-ovo options, but I don't see any vegan options unfortunately. I'm not really a big fan of mexican to be honest.

Aaaw man I was there just last week and ended up going to pizza hut and getting a pizza without cheese. (it sucked, by the way). At least I know for next time ;D

I've never ordered a pizza without cheese, I'm always worried the staff will look at me as if I'm crazy!

Pizza Express are apparently sympathetic to vegans, although I haven't been in one.

yeah I love pizza express. They don't have a massive amount of vegetarian pizzas but the ones they have are really nice and when you order without cheese they don't act weird :) they have nice starters of things like olives, roasted seeds and nuts, etc, too. My only complaint is that there are no vegan or veganisable desserts (the sorbet has gelatine :()

Do you know if you can order pizzas minus the pesto? I'm assuming the pesto contains cheese, think I read somewhere that it does. I was just looking at the menu and there's one called the Giardiniera that sounds really nice and looks like it would be vegan minus the cheese and pesto.
