VEGA

You're walking down Argyle Street in the city centre, past the usual chain restaurants, when you spot Vega tucked away on Westergate. Inside, it's all understated elegance—the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. The menu is entirely vegan, but here's the thing: it doesn't read like a list of vegetables with pretentious names. These are proper dishes, thoughtfully constructed, with the sort of technical skill you'd expect from any serious restaurant. Whether you're plant-based or just fancy eating well, it lands.
