Some very good and attractively presented food

Went for the first time for just a light meal, had the Aubergine Chermoula, with roasted eggplant, quinoa, thinly sliced cucumber - a very tasty dish. Next visit, I had the Sunday roast: mince in puff pastry, seven roasted vegetables and gravy. Delicious and filling meal. My companion deemed the café au lait with coconut milk excellent. Next weekend I had a decaf Americano and the full English breakfast: good, though the tofu scramble was too soft and had too much turmeric for my liking. Another time I had the blue-corn tacos, a beautifully presented meal and tasty, spicy tacos. (Interesting choice to put blue tacos on a blue plate; might be better on a contrasting colour.) The non-alcoholic beer by Nirvana was light-bodied and nice for a summer day. Last visit this trip, I had the cauliflower wings and vanilla ice cream with strawberry coulis. I would prefer a creamy, herbed cauli-wing dip, having found the spicy sauce too strong for a whole dish of wings. The ice cream is nicely creamy and vanilla flavoured. Among the cocktails, mocktails, wines and beers is also Baileys Almande.

Pros: all vegan, nicely presented dishes, receptive to feedback

Cons: hard to find the location the first time

Lovely lunch

Went for Saturday lunch after a visit to Museum of London. Only 5 mins walk.
Great service . My friend is omni & said it wax the first time she had enjoyed vegan food . The lasagne & jackfruit burger were delicious followed by the mango cheesecake to share. Good value decent portion. Variety of meals.
Waiter even walked us to the Barbican as some rides were blocked. Very friendly ,

Pros: Friendly staff, Good menu selection

Cons: Difficult to find as some roads closed

Amazing food and atmosphere

We ate dinner here on Monday night. The food was amazing, lots of options for someone who has allergies and really friendly staff. The atmosphere and decor was lovely, it was nice to be somewhere light and airy and with plants! They’ve got jars behind the counter with fermented food in so I did have jar envy!

Pros: Gluten free options available , Lovely atmosphere

Nice decor but food is nothing to write home about

The decor is nice and staff friendly, but the food is bland. Coffee is good. Food is quite expensive and service charge is compulsory. This place is very posh...saw some city folks and Kensington types in there. Not really a working class place.

Pros: Clean, Friendly staff

Cons: Posh, Expensive, Loud city types were being raucous when I was in!

Great tasting vegan food

Visited on a Sunday where there is a limited menu. My partner and I ordered a selection of small plates to share, which were all really big in size. Stand out dish was the kimche pancakes. Lots of fine detail such a spiralised cucumber, sprouts and shoots and each plate was very colourful and full of flavour. The choc almond cake was a bit too rich for me but my partner really enjoyed the mango cheesecake. Drink selection is very large, settled for two cocktails which went down very well- matcha pisco sour especially. All in all very nice experience.

Pros: Great flavour combinations, interesting drink selection, Relaxed environment

Cons: Fairly expensive

delicious upscale vegan cafe

On the way to the Museum of London, we stopped for lunch at this naturally well-lit place in the middle of several still-being-occupied skyscrapers in the Barbican area. The service was friendly if a bit slow (only one server was working the whole place, with a half dozen parties there including one other family with toddlers, the rest professionals on their lunch break). The kitchen is central and open so you can watch the preparation.

They have an excellent kids menu; one of our kids ordered the hot dog and chips and ate every bit of it, including spiralized cucumber and leaves. The bun was a large, satisfyingly soft circle of white dough. Our other kid ordered the (adult) lasagne but it was challenging to eat with “pasta” cut from some kind of vegetable (tapioca?). I traded over my delicious chickpea, scrambled tofu, and roasted aubergine curry and enjoyed the lasagne myself, including side salad of leaves with seed-packed crackers and dip. My partner had the green Thai curry. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. We finished off with superb soft, smooth, vanilla ice cream (soy-based, according to my tastebuds) drizzled generously with raspberry coulis. (If we return here, both kids will likely order from the kids menu.)

Pros: Delicious all-vegan food, Near the Museum of London, Good all-vegan kids menu

Good food in a nice space

It's great to find a vegan restaurant open on a Sunday, and even better when the food is so good. I had the rainbow bowl, an imaginative mix of ingredients. Very friendly service.

Pros: Good food, Friendly service, Nice, light space

Outstanding, innovative, gorgeous Vegan dining

The interior is simple, informal and stylish and the staff friendly. Great choice of craft beers. Ordered two small plates which was plenty for dinner- good portion sizes and great value for central London considering the high quality of the food. Beautifully presented and delicious flavours- definitely recommend.

Pros: Unique and delicious selection of dishes, Lovely interior and ambience , Great value considering quality and location

Fantastic!

We went for an early evening dinner after seeing the tacos in TimeOut! We shared the kimchi pancakes, hummus platter and blue corn tacos. All were excellent - delicious and interesting flavours, beautifully presented. Drinks were also great - lovely Pinot Grigio and interesting limited edition beer. We couldn’t resist the mango cheesecake and neither should you! The restaurant is lovely and spacious. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. This feels more upmarket than the prices, which are great value considering the care and thought out into each dish.

Pros: Everything is vegan , Really interesting flavours , Feels posh and prices very reasonable

Cons: Too hard to choose - everything looked amazing

New(ish) London opening from Stem and Glory

We visited during their soft opening and sat at the 'chefs table' which was interesting as we could see the different dishes being prepared. When we returned we opt for a table by the window.
Overall the main dishes were tasty but the size of the dishes was quite variable. The tacos were on the small side but the quinoa paella was large. The rainbow bowl was good for lunch.
There were only two desserts on the menu when we last visited (back in Feb 2019). We both opted for the lime ice cream with banana. The ice cream was delicious but I wasn't so taken with the banana (I would have preferred it cooked a bit more).
Beautiful decor and quite a lively atmosphere.
(Visited Feb 2019)

Pros: All vegan, Great atmosphere, Some good dishes

Cons: Variable portion sizes

Vegan fine dining in the City!

This was comfortably the best restaurant meal I have eaten since becoming vegan!

My hummus starter was flavoursome and plentiful, and was served with a nice mix of crudités, pickles, chilli's and a pile of delicious homemade multiseed crackers.

My lasagne was rich and well-seasoned, with lovely vegetable and cheesy flavours.

As if the food wasn't reason enough to visit, they also have fridge full of British Craft Beer Royalty, including Cloudwater and LOKA POLLY!

Delicious!

I went there for dinner and had a very nice pulled jackfruit korean-style burger meal. It was so good I returned two days later for breakfast (which they had changed to on the weekend only recently, otherwise I would have just come back the next morning😃and that was delicious as well. The almond chocolate cake with strawberries as dessert and the moccha banana smoothie were both delicious as well. Will definitely return when I am in London again.

Also, it was very nice to sit at the chef's table, watch them work and chat with them, everybody was super-friendly and happy to see me coming back for breakfast.

Pros: Delicious, Very nice staff, Chef's table can lead to free snacks :)

Nice healthy food

Bright, pleasant interior with friendly staff. We went on a Sunday during the day when there seems to be a smaller menu (though actually nice to not have tonnes of choices). Both had juices which were decent value for money, I had the rainbowl (gf) and husband had the full English. I think he was a bit nonplussed by the healthiness of it, but I really enjoyed my bowl. Really nice to have some decent healthy vegan gf food - a bit reminiscent of Redemption.

Pros: Lots of glutenfree
