NEWPORT is the UK's 'vegan capital' a new study has claimed.
Their study looked at a number of categories, and in searching for the place-to-be for vegans, Newport triumphed.
Perhaps controversially, the criteria for a vegan restaurant was said to be any restaurant catering to vegan diners - meaning even venues such as Meat Bar and Grill were counted as a vegan establishment.
The data found that using this criteria, 76 of 155 restaurants in Newport was vegan friendly, a shade under 50 percent.

It goes on to analyse the number of vegan restaurants by the average price of a meal, before looking at how many Michelin star restaurants are in the city, before giving a location a mark out of 10.
While Newport doesn’t boast any of the prestigious stars, the sheer volume of vegan options in the city was enough to give it a shiny 10 out of 10 score.
Just behind Newport in the top 10 was the UK’s overall restaurant hotspot Wells alongside Chichester, Lichfield and Truro.
