Glastonbury eats vegetarian. Vegan cafes, gluten-free bakeries, and raw-food juice bars line the High Street and Magdalene Street — more per head, probably, than anywhere else in the country. Carnivores are catered for too, but the default in this town is plant-based.
Rainbow's End on the High Street is the longest-running vegetarian cafe in Glastonbury, going since 1987. Wholesome and unpretentious — lasagne, soup, salads, cake. A small courtyard garden out the back is a quiet refuge from the street.
The Bocabar at the Red Brick Building on Morland Road is the most-loved restaurant in town, wood-fired pizzas and a stone-baked sourdough that is genuinely good. Live music most weekends.
The Hundred Monkeys on the High Street does the modern-rustic British thing well: small plates, sustainable meat, local cheeses, a careful wine list. Pricier than most.
Excalibur Cafe on Benedict Street is a friendly café for breakfast and lunch, with a small terrace overlooking the church. Reliable cooked breakfasts and decent flat whites.
For self-catering, the bakery counter at Burns the Bread on the High Street stocks excellent sourdough loaves and meat or veg pasties. The Earthfare wholefoods shop nearby supplies practically everything else.
