Popular Glasgow vegan restaurant to reopen under new management for veganuary

It's the news that vegans in Glasgow have been waiting for, one of the city centre's much-loved plant-based cafes is set to re-open this month after current owner Arita Bereza ended her search for someone to take over.

Arita Bereza, who opened the Glasvegan in St Enoch Square in 2018, made the 'devastating' decision to step away and had been set to close the eatery for good on November 27, with Glaswegians worried they'd lose the popular eatery.

Though Arita had exhausted all options to save the café herself, she decided to offer it to someone as passionate as she is about the plant-based lifestyle.

Thankfully, a new owner has been found and it seems the popular café will now reopen for Veganuary, with the date for relaunch on January 14.

It's been confirmed that the café will keep its name, though whether it holds on to its unique 'Pure, Deid Vegan' signage, is yet to be determined.

The sign caused a few raised eyebrows when it was first put up (with Pure Dead Vegan considered to be the more accurate version), forcing Latvian Arita to explain that 'dead' instead of 'deid' might confuse non-Glaswegians as to what they were actually serving.

We can't wait to see what the new management will have in store.
