Cantina

Leed’s first all-vegan eatery

Street Food / Diner / Burgers

Housed inside the wildly cool Old Red Bus Station - a multi-level, independent arts and music venue - Cantina holds the proud title of being the very first 100% vegan restaurant in Leeds. It has successfully maintained its status as a beloved staple of the city's alternative food scene ever since.

The kitchen serves up an irresistible, highly indulgent menu of dirty diner classics. From towering seitan burgers dripping in house sauces and perfectly crisp loaded fries, to addictive mac and cheese bites and deep-fried Oreos, they have mastered the art of plant-based junk food.

Because of its location within a bustling events space, the atmosphere is incredibly casual, edgy, and energetic. Whether you are grabbing a quick, satisfying bite before heading upstairs for a gig, or just looking for the ultimate late-night comfort food in the city centre, Cantina is a brilliant, budget-friendly destination.
