Vegan & Vegetarian Food in Tring
Finding a restaurant where vegans and meat-eaters can happily share the same table isn't always easy. The good news for anyone searching for vegan or vegetarian food in Tring: Lebanese cuisine is one of the most naturally plant-based in the world. At Tarboush Tring on the High Street, a huge part of our Lebanese and Mediterranean menu is vegan or vegetarian without trying to be — it simply always has been.
Why Lebanese food is great for vegans & vegetarians
Lebanese cooking is built around vegetables, pulses, grains, herbs and olive oil, with meat often playing a supporting role rather than the lead. That means plant-based dishes here aren't an afterthought bolted onto the menu — they're some of the oldest and best-loved recipes we make, packed with flavour from lemon, garlic, tahini, sumac and fresh herbs.
It also makes for relaxed group dining: a table of mezze works whether your party is fully vegan, vegetarian, or a mix of everyone.
Vegan mezze to start
Most of our cold mezze are naturally vegan:
- Hummus — chickpeas, tahini and lemon (try the spicy Hummus Beiruty).
- Moutabal — smoky chargrilled aubergine whipped with tahini.
- Tabbouleh — parsley, bulghar and tomato with lemon and olive oil.
- Vine leaves and mixed olives.
- Falafel — crisp, herby and served with tahini.
- Spiced cauliflower and other hot vegetable mezze.
Vegetarian favourites
If you eat dairy, the menu opens up further with classics like grilled halloumi and warm flatbreads alongside the spread. Pair a vegetarian table with something from our Lebanese wine list for the full Mediterranean experience.
Just ask — we'll guide you
Allergen and dietary information is marked throughout the menu, and our team is always happy to point out which dishes are vegan, vegetarian or can be adapted. Dining as a group of eight or more? The Tarboush Set Menu can be tailored for plant-based guests so nobody misses out.
