• Good vegan food! -- updating review Sep-2015

I am spending several weeks this spring-summer in London and have been happy to eat many times at this new vegan diner and will continue to whenever I’m in town. The staff are friendly and the food is all vegan, tasty and satisfying. There are vegan beers, wines and cocktails, as well as good coffee. I’ve attended the Saturday soul food brunch several times, pizza night, Mexican night and more. The Saturday 10 am-3 pm brunch – complete with rock-n-roll music – is a plate full of good food: mac-n-cheeze, scrambled tofu with black beans, hash browned potatoes and sautéed veg (eggplant, tomato, onion), biscuit with black-bean gravy, beans, greens and bottomless cup of coffee, £11.95. The regular menu includes small plates and desserts. I’ve had Kumara Kings (four patties of sweet potato and spinach jerk with pineapple salsa), Don’t Know Jack (three small tacos of spicy jackfruit and mushroom with almond and plantain sauce), pizza (Thursdays, three options, mine had broccoli, mushrooms and corn niblets with vegan cheese, served with a rocket salad, £7.50), burrito (Wednesday Mexican night, served with guacamole, red rice and wine), quesadilla (delicious!) and bean burger with potato wedges. All good, and served with a smile. VegBar is also a venue for nightclubs and special events (there’s a space downstairs). Follow them to keep apprised. http://www.vegbar.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/vegbarbrixton https://twitter.com/vegbarbrixton Veg Bar is a 10-minute-or-so walk south from Brixton tube station (or short bus ride). As the previous reviewer said, go there! Updated from previous review on Wednesday June 17, 2015 ------------ UPDATING my review from June-2015: Much of what I wrote above is no longer valid, since there has been a change of chef, menu, theme and atmosphere. When I went on a recent Saturday, it opened at least 15 minutes late. Best to confirm the opening hours with the restaurant. There is no longer a Saturday brunch plate or bottomless self-serve coffee, nor is the theme rock-n-roll; you just order off the regular menu. The mac-n-cheez was fine, served with spicy, skinny fries and some sauteed greens.
