tasty, but overrated - Edit
delicious food, but not that delicious how I expected it. So it was tasty, but definitely nothing extraordinary. I think it's a little bit overpriced.
Read morePros: good vegan parmesan , water for free
Cons: overpriced , staff seems a little bit bored

So so so good - Edit
My second time visiting Pastan. I got the Catalonia this time and it was banging. The carbonara is also amazing. But biscoff mini doughnuts steal the show 🍩
Read morePros: All of it is amazing , Super chill vibes , Good pricing for the area!!

According to Google Maps it's closed on Sundays and Mondays, while according to their own website it's open all week. I can confirm that yesterday, Monday 7th April, it was closed.
Read moreI see that someone has recently updated the business info. So is it definitely closed?

Excellent food, excellent value - Edit
First off, there were lots of options - as one would expect from a purely vegan restaurant.
Read moreWe had the deep fried gnocchi and tomato/garlic sour dough starters, followed by a couple of filled pasta (tortelline and ravioli). Food was super tasty and very speedily served, and looked great too. Limited wine choice - but the glass of Malbec i had was tasty and reasonably priced. Finished off with the mini doughnuts filled with biscoff, which were super hot and super tasty. Restaurant is small, so worth booking for sure.

One of the best vegan in london - Edit
We really wanted to eat pasta and found this place. Upon arrival we had to wait a bit as it was full. The owner was very kind and friendly. He made us laugh so much but always in a very respectful way. We learned that they also have a restaurant in spain and we will for sure go whenever we will be there. We enjoyed all our dishes without exception. Starters were delicious too. We wanted some sparkling water and he went to get us some next door. At the end , we were offered to have some typical italian shot all together and it was really funny and amicable. Go there with empty stomach as the portions are generous. I would totally recommend this place and will go back for certain.

Restaurant closed on booking arrival - Edit
Inform customers if restaurant is closed. We had a booking for Fri 27 Dec at 2:30pm. On arrival we found it to be closed. I had a reminder two days before saying don't forget the booking, I'm afraid Pastan forgot their customers. Non-existent customer service. Absolutely appalling.
Read morePros: None, None, None
Cons: Bad customer service , Restaurant closed on booking arrival, Not contacted to say restaurant closed

Pasta fantastic! - Edit
We had a lovely meal here yesterday evening. There are so many interesting and unique options on the menu and it was very hard to choose! However, we all really enjoyed our meals. The pasta was so fresh and tasty. The atmosphere on the restaurant is great (I liked the music!) and the staff were very friendly. I'm looking forward to a return visit!

Delicious - Edit
We visited from Newcastle on Friday and had the most amazing lunch. The restaurant is small and beautifully decorated and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We shared Pan con tomate to start and I had the Green Velvet Ravioli, which is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. My other half had the Mac and Cheese, followed by the biscoff doughnuts which are served hot, these are a must! I enjoyed an Affogato and a delicious chocolate orange espresso martini. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we had and will definitely be back when we are next in London. Highly recommend this place to all.

fantastic food, lovely service! - Edit
We had the fried gnocchi with cheese sauce and the ravioli to start. Both really good, especially the gnocchi!
Read moreFor mains we had the pumpkin and sage ravioli, the carbonara and the olive paste tomato pasta. All were really good, our favourite was the ravioli. Only disappointing but was the limited bacon bits on the carbonara!
The biscoff doughnuts were phenomenal, an absolute must! Ice cream was nice enough, mint chocolate chip the best one.
Would definitely recommend, it was all very good and with lovely service too.

Yummy all vegan pasta - Edit
It had such a huge selection of pasta and so creative! We had the fried gnocchi and cheese sauce and tomatoes and bread to start followed by a pasta with chorizo and the pumpkin ravioli. All of the food was good but didnt blow me away. My favorite was the tomatoes and bread (which sounds simple but was very delicious!) I would still go back if I was in the area, it had a lovely ambience and a lot more yummy sounded dishes on the menu.

Home of vegan pasta - Edit
I feel like the UK is definitely lacking in vegan Italian spots so it's nice to see a place like this. I wasn't blow away by the food personally, but it wasnt bad either. I don't think I necessarily picked the right things to try. Staff were friendly and I would recommend it to people who really enjoy Italian

Cons: Food wasn't exceptional

Delicious - Edit
My friends and I had an amazing time at Pastan, the service is fast and great, the staff is lovely, friendly and beyond (the Owner went out to get us bottled water). Now the food was delicious, gastronomical and the portions were rather generous, to me. The music is also quite nice yet a little loud, to me.

It's a nice restaurant with lovely staff. I personally however prefer the Italian pasta over the French one, now that's probably just a matter of taste. They did not have the cheese plate for the moment, should be back in a few weeks.

A Hidden Gem: Pastan Barbican - Edit
We strolled into Pastan Barbican expecting an ordinary pasta experience and came out impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, while still maintaining a touch of elegance. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every guest feel special.
Read moreThe pasta is outstanding – freshly made with a variety of vegan options that are truly delicious. We were particularly impressed by the homemade pasta.
In short, Pastan Barbican has become our go-to spot for carb-loaded meals. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.

Great pasta - Edit
Super delicious pasta served here! The ratings speak for themselves; they offer a lunch deal which also offered small donuts which were tasty - but the pasta was the star!

Great vegan pasta! - Edit
Have been here a few times, and while I would have originally given 3/4 stars after my first visit (shortly after they opened) I've been back since and they have definitely improved and have had a great experience since! I've had the dolce vita and also the spanish style orzo which were both great but honestly the mozzarella in the portfofino is incredible!! Would reccomend ordering that 100%

Please visit this place if you can, their food is amazing 🥹 - Edit
I can’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant that was that good.
Read moreI had mac and cheese with bacon bits, and the portion was enormous. The mini ravioli with mushrooms are really nice too. My non vegan partner really enjoyed his bruschetta with tomato sauce too.
I recommend trying their doughnuts, these are tiny round dough bits that are filled with hot caramel sauce and it’s simply delicious.
Also our waiter was very kind and helpful 🥺❤️
Pros: Doughnuts!!!, Pasta
Cons: I can’t order delivery, they are too far from me 🥹

Pasta Lunch - Edit
Visited for lunch and had the carbonara. My mum had the macaroni cheese. Nice enough but didn’t wow me. The pasta was a little cold and definitely required some additional seasoning. We had the biscoff doughnuts for dessert - these were by far the best bit of the meal!

One of my favourite restaurants in the world! - Edit
Like everyone has already said, this place is incredibly perfect. Nice location and close from my Japanese school so that I can take people including non-vegans and impress them with varieties of the pasta dishes.

Absolutely unreal pasta - Edit
Everything was insanely delicious, what's the point of eating animals when plant based dishes are so incredibly tasty? We loved the gnocchi loaded with vegan cheese, the carbonara and the ravioli. We finished this massive dinner with 6 mini doughnuts filled with biscoff which were out of this world. Shout-out to the waiter who was super kind with us and our dog and gave us lots of treats for her! Can't wait to be back, I'll be dreaming of their fresh pasta until then :)

Delicious food - Edit
It was really refreshing to eat in an all vegan Italian restaurant. I had the carbonara and it was great, although didn’t resemble a carbonara sauce much like I remembered. It was still delicious though. The staff were also slightly frantic but it didn’t impact our experience. A lovely and quaint restaurant.
