In a paragraph
Shrub is a plant-based restaurant and bar on Eastgate Row in Chester for small plates, brunch, dinner, cocktails, low and no-alcohol drinks, dogs and a covered Rows terrace.
What it's like
Shrub sits on Eastgate Row, which gives it a very Chester advantage: you can eat plant-based small plates while watching the city move underneath the black-and-white frontage.
Plant-based comfort without preaching
The food is fully plant-based, but the useful point is that it feels like a proper restaurant first. Small plates, bigger dishes, brunch, cocktails, low / no-alcohol drinks and a covered terrace make it one of the easier central choices for mixed groups.
Worth knowing
Shrub is good because it treats plant-based dining as restaurant food, not a lecture. It is not the cheapest meal in town and the Rows can complicate access, but it is one of the central pages where the recommendation earns its space.
