London is full of vegan and plant-based restaurants just waiting for you to try their meat-free meals! With more and more of us turning towards a vegan lifestyle, it’s no wonder restaurants are popping up in our city to cater to these needs. Using plants and meat-alternatives, each of these restaurants has innovative dishes that will make even carnivores salivate! Dive into our top 10 picks of London vegan restaurants now.
Holy Carrot
Holy Carrot was previously located in Knightsbridge and is currently running a monthly supper club at Maria G’s in Kensington. Consisting of a 6 course meal priced at £65pp, you do not want to miss out on trying their delicious plant-based offerings.
When we visited we opted for:
- Buffalo mushroom wings
- Purple Potato Croquettes with avocado filling
- Raw Pad Thai
- Smoked Aubergine Carpaccio
Each dish was super-tasty and well thought out, as well as the atmosphere being the perfect decor for a romantic London restaurant to share a vegan meal with your partner.
Mallow
Mallow has two vegan restaurants in London: one in Borough and one in Canary Wharf. From the minds at the popular Mildreds, Mallow is an entirely plant-based restaurant offering up both small and large plates. The special thing about Mallow is that as well as being vegan they also focus on using local suppliers whenever possible, as well as keeping food waste to a minimum.
Tendril
Tendril is located just by Oxford Circus tube station and is open for both lunch and dinner. This plant-based restaurant has a mostly vegan menu (all items that are not vegan are stated on the menu – although this is very few). You can choose from either an a la carte menu, or opt for the set menu to get a little taste of everything.
You’ll also find a great drinks menu boasting lots of vegan wines, cocktails, and mocktails.
Club Mexicana
Starting in 2014, Club Mexicana was bored of vegan options only being lettuce and lentils and wanted to show the world there’s so much more to plant-based eating. They make fully vegan Mexican street food and have multiple locations across the city: Soho, Brixton, and Shoreditch. On the menu you’ll find tacos, empanadas, burritos, and nachos. You’ll even find a delicious range of cocktails on their drinks menu too – the perfect spots for a vegan meal out.
