What can I say to convince you to try the critically acclaimed Hug and Pint? Well, it’s been a firm favourite of Rooting Aboot’s for three solid years now. And this devotion shows no sign of abating. Beautifully presented pan-Asian vegan food, all of their dishes deserve the highest praise because I’ve never had a bad ‘un. 

From the black pepper aubergine, the sweet coconut tempeh, the jackfruit curry, the rice noodles, the tofu and seaweed miso soup to the mushroom rice pudding etc etc, this tastebud extravaganza just goes on and on. All the dishes are best suited for sharing and you need about four or five if there’s two dining. Don’t worry, the friendly and helpful staff are always on hand to advise. The menu changes daily and when it’s gone, it’s gone for the day.

The 13^thNote in Glasgow has been offering satisfying vegan food and drink for decades. With a high ceiling, large windows and soft lighting, as well as some quirky house guests (look out for the gimp-masked mannequin) it’s a cosy place in winter and cool oasis in summer. 

There is a pleasant separate restaurant just off the bar area if you prefer to eat in a quieter space where artwork adorns the walls at reasonable prices. Not often you can pick up an original canvas or photograph by local artists while stuffing yer face.

Vegetarians are catered for with cheese and milky stuff, but the 13^thNote clearly labels vegan and vegetarian offerings. Daily specials are advertised on their blackboard.

There’s always room for pudding in the Rooting Aboot household. We opted for a daily special, coconut and cinnamon cheesecake (made with tofu), and weren’t disappointed I can tell you. The 13th Note’s sticky toffee pudding is also a blissful sugar rush too. Next time…
