Bread Meats Bread

If there is one thing Glasgow is not short of, it’s burger restaurants. But does every burger restaurant also have suitable vegan options on their menu?

Bread Meats Bread is probably one of the most vegan-friendly burger joints in Glasgow, and both locations in the City Centre and West End have various vegan options on the menu.

Labelling:

Vegetarian and vegan options on the menu are clearly labelled and the descriptions list everything that is in the dishes.

Vegan options:

Radical Reuben sandwich with pastramheat, smoked vegan cheese and Sauerkraut
Baba Falafel Burger (vegan if swapping ccumber & feta salad for leaves & veganaise)
Vegan Fried Chick’n burgers (optional with vegan cheese and/or vegan bacon)
Angry Vegan: fried vegan chick’n burger with buffalo sauce, jalapenoes, crushed chillies and vegan blue cheese sauce
Sides & Dips: chips & sweet potato fries (both can be ordered with vegan bacon and/or maple syrup), vegan poutine, salad, vegan dips

Budget: Vegan mains are between £7.50 and £8.50, sides come are between £3.50 and £5.50.

I went for the Radical Reuben sandwich and vegan poutine for a guilty comfort lunch on a cold December day. The Reuben tastes delicious, especially because of the smoked cheese and sauerkraut inside. The poutine had maybe a bit too much beancurd for my taste, but the gravy was crazy good. Even though it looked like quite a greasy lunch, it went down really well and didn’t make me feel like other fried food often does. The Reuben is served with a small side of pickled veg, but I wish the salad would have been a bit mire substantial. I suggest, ordering a side salad, if you like a veg-heavy lunch.

The only disappointment was that the restaurant does not have soy milk, so I had my tea without.

Overall though, Bread Meats Bread makes great comfort food that nevertheless doesn’t leave you feeling all greased out!
