• Upscale vegetarian cooking, some good vegan option

The Gate was one of our destinations on this trip to London, as I appreciate the fine choice of vegan food in London (much better than available in almost every other city other than New York, which is a much further trip for me). What is interesting, is that we went in February, and it looks like the menu changed, because I can't even find what I ate (and don't remember it all). I had something that was smoked tofu balls, but it was vegan, and I don't see that on the menu now. And my spouse also had something that doesn't appear to be on the menu. There are vegan options (which is what we want), but perhaps we would have liked a bigger choice. I took two entrees instead of a main dish, because the main dishes did not appeal to me so much. But what I had was delicious, and the type of vegan food that I really appreciate - not those standard vegetable stews and grain, or lentils and grain, etc., that are so frequently found. The prices are not inexpensive (which is why i checked "fine dining", but I realize that good vegan food takes time and effort to prepare - much more effort than grilling a steak.
