Vegetarianism is the name of the game at this meat-free cafe in Martineau Place in Birmingham city centre. Conveniently located near the new tramline, 3 Three's specialises in jumbo vegan frankfurters. But this is just one option on an expansive vegan and vegetarian menu. In fact, only one dish breaks the vegan rule and this is a sandwich containing feta cheese.
The famous vegan frankfurter (£3) is a convincing-looking creation made with tofu, served in an 8.5 inch soft roll and slathered with all the toppings and sauces - jalapenos, mustard, tomatoes and ketchup. Other ‘meat fillings’ are made of soya - for the wraps, paninis, salads and sandwiches available at the cafe.
Another popular option is the ‘Turkey and bacon’ sandwich served with sun dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and mushrooms. You can get soups including spinach, split pea, while the salads menu features corn, quinoa and edamame options.
Gluten-free foodies are well served with a range of gluten-free crisps, sweets and chocolates. Other desserts available include dairy-free gelato, and coffees served with almond and soya milk. For the meat free, gluten free or vegan eater, 3 Three's is the ideal pitstop and serves a growing niche.
