The Jailhouse - Belfast

The Nutmeg should be forever crowned as a shop who has always cared. I've been visiting since the 90s when nobody seemed to care about even vegetarianism, but the nutmeg did. Its a tiny shop, packed full of everything you could need.

Nice selection of products, many vegan items, chilled and packaged. Non-dairy cheeses, supplements, canned goods. Some vegan sandwiches to take away. I bought Love Raw treats there and and jar of Northern-Ireland-made Irish Black Butter. Both yum. Other than Holland Barrett, this may be the only healthfood store in the central core of Belfast.

A tardis-like shop that crams in loads of vegan goodies. Has lots of the known vegan alternatives. Not primarily a food service place but does have a small selection of sausage rolls etc. Friendly staff and always open to requests for produce.

This is a good wee shop and has looked after me for many years when vege food and snacks were limited. They are a friendly knowedgeable lot. They stock natural remedies, foods, teas, sweeties, and so on. I tend to get their sausage rolls, pakora and flapjacks.

This is about the only vegan friendly place within walking distance from the town center. Its a small health food shop, but there is a tiny deli counter as you walk in on your right and its filled with vegan pastys, burritos, vegan sausage rolls, cakes, etc. For the size of the space they really pack a bunch of good stuff in there!
