Vegan eats and reggae beats.
Ital – pronounced EYE TAL – is a way of eating introduced by Rastafari, using natural plant based ingredients & is said to raise your vibration and increase vitality. ItalFresh use this cooking concept and apply a fresh, modern approach; ital-ising street food classics & and adding a modern spin to traditional Caribbean dishes. In other words; eat ital and feel irie. 2016 was kind to the vegan community in Liverpool and 2017 seems to be following the same pattern. Near enough every week, some sort of exciting announcement comes out of the blue and it seems to be making up for all those years of mushroom risotto. This brings us quite nicely onto Ital Fresh, the Baltic Triangle’s newest addition amongst a plethora of successful independents.
The duo behind it started off by hosting a number of successful supper clubs where people from all over Merseyside would come sample their plant-based food with Caribbean roots. Whilst that was great, they knew they wanted more and will be opening their food truck once again to the public today from 5pm onwards. Just in time for the summer, the ray of Caribbean sunshine is back and just what the city needs. From Colli wings to Kingston fries, and some brand new dishes inspired by a trip to Jamaica, foodies of Liverpool can expect some pretty unique food.

We caught up with the duo behind it:
“We’re bringing some Caribbean sunshine to the Baltic Triangle every Thursday at District Back Yard, 61 New Bird Street. Our resident DJ Rebel Soul will be spinning reggae classics on vinyl while Italfresh supply Caribbean street food like you’ve never tasted while the sun sets over Liverpool. From sweet crispy plantains, to our signature smoky jerk pineapple and creamy coconut rundown – vegan food never tasted so tropical.”
