My fave vegan restaurant in London - Edit
This is the best vegan place in London, hands down!!!!
Read moreObsessed with their mushroom dishes and drinks (the Lions mane hot chocolate is amazing) ☺️
Also you definitely have to try the Oyster mushroom wings. They are just too good!
Also, they have board games so it’s fun to play them while waiting for the food ☺️
One million stars/10
Pros: Amazing food, Amazing drinks , Really cool atmosphere

Try the weekend brunch! - Edit
Great brunch options at the weekend - until 3PM. On my first visit, I missed it and had to come back a couple of hours later for an early dinner. On my last visit, I was in time and enjoyed the vegan eggs Benedict. Amazing, especially if you like sauce - there’s lots of it. My friends had the full English and mushroom on toast with a side of facon, both looked great as well and apparently were delicious.

English breakfast bom - Edit
Fomos muito bem atendidos e a comida estava bem saborosa apesar do feijão parecer pronto de lata. O “ovo mexido” estava o mais saboroso.

Cracking restaurant - highly recommended - Edit
What a brilliant find! Love Shack has a nice welcoming vibe, almost like a cozy living room. We visited after an afternoon in Abney Park (also well worth a visit) for our dinner, excellent varied vegan menu, lots of inventive mushroom dishes! Huge portions too, we had to get a doggy bag and the food tasted just as good the next day!
Read moreVery friendly staff, cracking food and all vegan, what’s not to love! Looking forward to a return visit!

Fun and tasty! - Edit
Love Shack is a cool venue with an eclectic, hippy vibe. It has a cosy feel with atmospheric lighting and lots of interesting decorations.
Read moreThey have an extensive drink menu as it also doubles as a cocktail bar and even has a secret club. The food menu is also interesting with a variety of dishes structured more in a sharing style, which suits us as we love trying lots of different dishes.
From the smaller plates menu we ordered the Crispy Oyster Mushroom Wings (Buffalo), Pani Puri, Papas Arrugadas (Canarian Potatoes) and Tofu Karaage.
The crispy oyster mushroom wings were a nice big portion with a lovely crispy coating and a nice bit of spicey flavour which contrasted well with the ranch dressing. The Canarian potatoes were lovely and soft with delicious rich sauces. The tofu karaage was again really good with a lovely rich sauce and The tofu had a great crispy coating. The pani puri wasn't such a hit with us as it was a cold dish and just wasn't as tasty as the others, but that may just be personal preference.
We also ordered the 8oz Lion's Mane Steak, Roast Vegtables & Chimichurri from the big plates menu. This was very tasty and had lots of fresh veggies but was pricey for what it was at £26 excluding service charge.
At the end of all this food me and my wife were both very stuffed but it was tasty fresh food and it was a satisfied feeling. I really enjoyed the variety and would recommend Love Shack, although I would say it is pricey for what it is.
Our friend who is not vegan also enjoyed his food!

Love Shack - Edit
The food is absolutely lovely and beautifully presented. The staff are incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is a bit more casual, but it’s cute and quirky. Our options were very limited because they only offered a brunch menu, but I can highly recommend the eggs benedict from the brunch menu. The French toast was good, but it wasn’t very filling. We would definitely try to eat here again, but would love to try the non-brunch options.

Delicious!!! - Edit
I went for brunch my friend and I split the "full english" and "eggs benedict" options (both vegan obviously!) The food was delicious and had lots of different components and flavours. Im already looking forward to my next visit there.

Food was just amazing. Service was great. Reasonably priced for what you’re getting. Very home-y vibe and we loved the decor. They even have board games! We had the duck pancakes, cheese burger and steak. All 10/10! Defo try the steak

Great food but sometimes the service can be slow - Edit
I hate to give a fully plant based spot less than a perfect review, but I’ve often had to wait around a while to order & get the bill here. However food and drink is inventive and delicious and by itself would’ve deserved 5*

Romantic evening meal for two - Edit
Quirky but cool decor, secret room to discover, tasty menu options - many featuring mushrooms. Advance booking recommended (certainly for Sat night).
Read moreSat nav incorrectly directed us towards Bethnal Green station - it’s actually nearer to Cambridge Heath station - so for us it wasn’t the easiest place to find.

Staff? Delightful. Food? Perfection. Cocktails? Unreal. Decor? Inspired. Vibes? Immaculate (even on a rainy Sunday in January).
Read moreIt was my first time here and won't be the last - I'm from Leeds but will make it a priority to swing by anytime I'm South of the Watford Gap!
The cool mushroom lore and hidden back room are particular highlights...

One of our London favorites - Edit
Visited in september 2025. We had dinner in Love shack and it was a really memorable and fun experience! The food was so tasty, the environment and interior was interesting and full of fun details, and the staff was super friendly. Their vegan pavlova was one of the highlights of our whole interrail trip! We also loved the chimichurri mushroom skewers and the caesar salad. Would love to visit again!!

Needs cleaning! - Edit
This venue needs a good spring clean and refurbishment of the furniture. The Chinese lanterns are thick with dust, the windows are smeared, my chair seat was split. If they cleaned the stains off the lavatory (see photo) perhaps they wouldn’t have to mask the smell with so much incense.
Read moreThis lack of attention to detail ran to other things: displayed outside is a curry-based lunch deal that they no longer offer, and details of events in November (it’s the end of January). The November poster was also displayed on the lavatory door.
No point going on a weekday lunchtime if you want to experience the breadth of their menu as are only three options: soup of the week, sandwich of the week (banh mi this week) or Thai green curry.
I don’t like business making assumptions about their customers’ politics, but think it’s likely most customers in a vegan restaurant care about animal welfare, so will think favourably of the recently launched Animal Welfare Strategy and appreciate that it is significant because it moves animal protection from isolated pledges to a coherent, long-term framework that embeds higher welfare standards into everyday policy and decision-making, so having a poster of Keir Starmer with devil horns and tail seemed misplaced, and likely to offend more customers than it encouraged.
The waitress gave the impression she didn’t really want to be there, but perhaps was just having a bad day.
I travelled for almost two hours each way to try this restaurant on the strength of reviews on this platform so was very disappointed and won’t be back.

This place is so quirky and homely. Came here for brunch, the lobster roll was nice but not really to my taste - maybe I chose incorrectly! Want to come back here to try some of the vegan cocktails and dinner menu.
