Find your next vegan meal in Derry / Londonderry
Looking for vegan restaurants in Derry or vegan restaurants in Londonderry? This guide covers the same Northern Irish city under both names. Compare a weekday café breakfast at Crann Beatha, a casual Mexican meal at Guapo, vegan-labelled mains at Quaywest and a bistro sitting at Fitzroy’s. Four profiles help you plan where to eat vegan, with addresses, menu information and optional Google photos and maps.
All four venues have mixed menus with vegan options; they are not presented as entirely vegan restaurants. The selection distinguishes a daytime café, a burrito bar and two seated restaurant choices. Numbers identify the profiles, not a ranking from personal visits.
Vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in Derry / Londonderry
Choose the meal and the day before saving a destination. A café breakfast on Great James Street has a different service window from a restaurant dinner or a burrito on Strand Road. The individual cards distinguish operator menus from visitor-directory information and explain where a current dish needs confirmation.
For a weekday café breakfast
Crann Beatha advertises vegan breakfast choices. Ask which complete plate is available and keep its weekday opening schedule with your plans.
For a casual Mexican meal
Guapo is the burrito-bar option. Request a complete vegan combination, including the tortilla, rice, beans, sauces and toppings.
For a seated lunch or dinner
Compare the named vegan mains at Quaywest with the vegan menu provision described for Fitzroy’s Bistro.
Restaurants and a café in this guide
Editorial selection · not a rankingCrann Beatha
Great James Street · Derry city
A weekday morning stop with vegan choices to confirm.
Crann Beatha describes itself as a vegan-friendly café and specifically advertises vegan choices within its breakfast service. Its wider offering includes breakfast, lunch and sweet treats, so choose the vegan item deliberately rather than assuming everything on the counter is suitable. This is the morning café lead in the selection, not an evening restaurant.
Before you visit Ask which complete vegan breakfast or lunch is available and when it is served. The current item-level breakfast PDF could not be retrieved during this check; ordinary pancakes, pastries and cakes are not assumed vegan. The operator lists Saturday and Sunday as closed.

Guapo Fresh Mexican
Strand Road · Derry / Londonderry
Build a vegan combination rather than choosing toppings at random.
Visit Derry’s official listing describes Guapo as a Mexican burrito bar with vegan options. Its build-your-own format includes burritos, tacos and other combinations, with rice, beans, salsa and guacamole among the components. It is the casual meal option in this shortlist, rather than a formal restaurant reservation.
Before you order Ask staff which rice, beans, tortilla, fillings and sauces form a complete vegan order. Leave dairy toppings off unless a vegan alternative is confirmed. The visitor listing establishes vegan provision, but a complete current operator menu was not independently retrieved.

Quaywest Winebar & Restaurant
Boating Club Lane · Derry city
A curry or pitta meal chosen from the vegan-labelled dishes.
Quaywest’s evening menu names a vegan Thai red curry and a vegan chilli pitta pocket. The pitta description includes stir-fried vegetables, chilli sauce and vegan mayonnaise. These are specific starting points within a much wider mixed menu; not everything under the combined vegetarian-and-vegan heading is vegan.
Before you order Confirm the curry’s accompanying bread and choose suitable sides explicitly. The wider side list includes butter, cream and cheese preparations. Recheck current dishes and Sunday opening: the website prints an ambiguous Sunday starting time, so it is not reproduced as a verified midnight opening here.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Vegan status | Mixed restaurant with explicitly named vegan dishes on its published evening menu. |
| Address | 28 Boating Club Lane Derry BT48 7QB |
| Published hours | Monday–Saturday noon–10pm. Confirm Sunday opening and kitchen last orders directly. |
| Contact | 028 7137 0977. Use the operator’s reservation link for your intended sitting. |
Official source: Named vegan dishes, address and published timetable. Sunday starting time needs clarification.
Fitzroy’s Bistro
Bridge Street · Derry / Londonderry
Ask for the current vegan menu before settling on a bistro meal.
Food NI’s venue profile describes a vegan menu at Fitzroy’s, giving vegan stir-fried rice as an example. The restaurant’s own website confirms its Bridge Street location and lunch-to-evening opening. This is a seated bistro alternative to the café and burrito bar above, with a conventional mixed menu alongside its vegan provision.
Before you book Request the current vegan menu and confirm that your chosen dish is available for the sitting. The operator’s embedded food menu was not readable during this check, so the rice example is attributed to Food NI rather than presented as a freshly verified daily special. Vegetarian pasta or tacos are not automatically vegan.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Vegan status | Mixed bistro with a vegan menu documented by Food NI. Confirm current dishes directly. |
| Address | 2–4 Bridge Street Derry BT48 6JZ |
| Published hours | Monday–Saturday noon–10pm; Sunday noon–9pm. Confirm the food cutoff. |
| Reservations | Use the operator’s current website booking and contact channels. |

Vegan breakfast and brunch in Derry / Londonderry
Make a weekday café plan
Crann Beatha is the breakfast enquiry in this selection. Its operator advertises vegan options, but the exact current plate and serving time should be confirmed. Keep its Monday-to-Friday timetable in mind before arranging a weekend morning.
Do not turn later meals into breakfast promises
Guapo, Quaywest and Fitzroy’s are included for later meals, not as confirmed early breakfast stops. For a weekend departure or excursion, arrange a separate confirmed morning option rather than relying on a general vegan-friendly description.
Plan your Derry / Londonderry vegan dining
Keep both city names with the address
Search results may use Derry, Londonderry or both. This guide treats them as one destination, not two city guides. Keep the street address with the business name to avoid a mismatched map result.
Choose the visit format
A café breakfast, burrito-bar meal and reserved bistro dinner need different time allowances. Check seating, reservation arrangements and current food service before building the meal into a timed itinerary.
Confirm the whole vegan order
Include sauces, bread, rice, spreads and sides. A vegan main does not make every accompaniment suitable, and a vegetarian symbol alone does not establish a vegan dish. Explain allergies separately to staff.
Use current menus for the final decision
Visitor listings and sample menus provide a starting point. Reconfirm the intended dish, price, opening day and kitchen last orders directly, along with any access requirements.
Continue with the Belfast restaurant guide, browse vegan dining in Northern Ireland or return to the UK restaurant hub. Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick are covered separately in the Republic of Ireland hub.
Derry / Londonderry vegan dining FAQ
Does this guide cover Derry and Londonderry as two places?
No. Both names refer to the same city in this guide. The four profiles are counted once.
Are all four venues fully vegan?
No. They are mixed-menu businesses with vegan options or vegan menu provision. The individual cards explain the evidence and the checks needed.
Where can I enquire about a vegan breakfast?
Crann Beatha advertises vegan breakfast options and currently lists weekday opening. Confirm the exact dish and service time; it is not presented as a weekend breakfast guarantee.
Can I use the same vegan sides at every restaurant?
No. Ask about the complete order. Rice, bread, sauces and vegetable sides can have different preparations, even when the main dish is named vegan.
Are the restaurant photos evidence that a dish is vegan?
No. Optional Google photographs can show food from the wider mixed menu. Use current menu information and staff confirmation. The title image is a separate AI-generated destination illustration.
Research notes
Researched 29 September 2026. Operator websites and food menus were prioritised. Visit Derry supports Guapo’s profile; Food NI documents Fitzroy’s vegan menu provision. Crann Beatha’s item-level breakfast PDF and Fitzroy’s embedded menu were not readable during this check, and Quaywest’s Sunday starting time needs clarification. This is desk research, not a personal taste test or kitchen inspection. Confirm current dishes, prices, service and access directly.
The title image is an original AI-generated Derry / Londonderry travel illustration, not a photograph of a recommended restaurant.
