Outstanding dinner for a weary traveler! - Edit
Tonight Tidbits made this weary vegan road warrior one happy girl. I just arrived via the tube from Paris this morning after spending six days in France where I nearly passed out from lack of protein. The staff was helpful and charming, and the restaurant's design and decor are fabulous!
Read moreI had one plate for dinner from the buffet which I filled with small servings of many of the dishes (daal, several bean salads, falafel, hummus, chutney) and a bottled water costing just a bit north of £10. I wanted to stay and eat all night!
I'm a high-maintenence foodie, and this place get high marks from me. Well done, Tidbits!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very tasty, Good price for value
Cons: Small WCs

Great concept with a wide range of food - Edit
This restaurant is situated in an alley right off Regent street. The surroundings are very cozy and intimate, it doesn't feel like you're only inches away from a busy street. The staff were very keen on explaining how the concept works, since it was our first visit. I like the concept of weighing your plate and paying for the amount of food on it.
Read moreThere was a wide range of both hot and cold food on the buffet, along with a few desserts. The falafel was too hard and the cauliflower gratin was too spicy, but apart from that the meal was really good. I would highly recommend the mini calzones with mock meat!
Serves alcohol.
Pros: Cozy area, Wide range of food, Outdoor seating

Good food great venue - Edit
We have been a number of times, it is great place to pop into when you have been to Hamley's toy shop or a west end show.
Read moreGreat choice of food suitable for veggies and vegans.
We were particularly pleased as we have small children and with the buffet they could pick and choose what they wanted.
Plus for me - they have a children activity section downstairs. The kids played with other children colouring etc whilst we had a quiet vegan beer!
Pros: lovely food, children friendly , choice

Probably the best vegan place I've been to date - Edit
My husband and I have been vegan for a few years and during a ten day trip to London we were eager to try many of the available options that we had. Tidbits was the last restaurant we visited from our list and that's not a bad thing.
Read moreOnce we got a taste of it we were hooked. We ate there once a day for the last three days. It's a very spacious place, great ambiance, great food selection, the staff was helpful and kind and the prices are reasonable. The plate seems to add most of the weight so make sure you get what you want from the start as you pay by weight.
Pros: Excellent food, Great ambiance, Good prices

Amazing food! - Edit
I took a trip to Tibits for lunch with friends. Being vegan I'm always prepared for there to be little on the menu for me to choose from but Tibits was different.
Read moreIn the middle of the restaurant there's a huge buffet table to choose all your food from. There are a huge amount of vegan options to choose from.
The cost of the food is based on the weight of your plate. Mine was quite heavy (overwhelmed by the choice!) so the plate came to around £10.
I was most pleased to see a vegan potato dauphinoise and vegan vanilla cream to go with dessert! All the food was completely delicious.
I will be back!
Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Delicious, Value for money
Cons: Nothing I can think of!

Excellent place, location, and food - Edit
I went to Tibits for the London Vegan Drinks events there, which was busy but not stiflingly overcrowded; it was a nice venue. The buffet was almost all vegan, the food was fantastic, and even if a little pricey it wasn't ridiculous. There was vegan beer and Booja Booja ice cream - I was really spoilt for choice :-)
Read morePros: Excellent food, Ice cream tubs!, Pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Perhaps pricey

One of my favouites - Edit
I first discover Tibbets when they had a branch at Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds bush. I then started coming to this one and have probably been about 40 times over the past few years. The amazing buffet constantly has new dishes, is very well labeled and the food is divine. The atmosphere is chilled and cosy but it does get busy at times. They have a great drinks list with lots of different juices and teas along with organic wines. beers and ciders. Everyone who I have taken there has loved it and some ask to go back each time they visit London. I've been to a birthday party here and the staff made a good effort for the birthday boy. The cover for David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust was taken on Heddon Street in 1972, how cool is that?

Well labelled buffet - Edit
We had a really nice meal and glass of sparkly here. The buffet is really well labelled, the variety is good and it is hot (you don't get the sense it has been sitting out for hours). Never having eaten here before I was having serious deja vu, then finding out it is the part of the chain as Hiltl in Zurich so the menu must be pretty similar.

No surprises here - Edit
Read moreVirtually identical in offerings to the Tibits chain in Switzerland: a
by-weight buffet. Lots of salads and fresh dishes. Everything tastes
just lovely. The prices are immoderately high; you're definitely
paying a premium here.
There's a nice area downstairs for children: books, toys, that sort of
thing. The buffet format also makes it easy for kids to pick out what
they want. So it's a very good stopping point for a family.
They have free wifi, but it was spotty when I visited. (It actually
worked even though they thought it didn't, and I've seen other
complaints too about the wifi. The staff didn't seem to care much
about it not working, which was a bit surprising.)
Note that it's just off Regent Street, in a quiet and pleasant little
space, so look down the side alleys off Regent to find their sign.
Pros: wide spread, high quality, buffet format has many advantages
Cons: pricey

Great food, great location - Edit
Ate here a few times during a weekend in London recently. Tidbits has a 'food boat', so you get your plate, load it up with everything you want, and pay by weight. Everything is very clearly labeled vegan, gluten-free, etc., which made my life as a vegan much easier. Lots of different things to choose from. The decor is very nice, and there is outdoor seating which I imagine must be really lovely in warmer weather. The vegan hot chocolate is also delicious, and they had a few different kinds of vegan desserts, which I always appreciate. There is an elevator to the lower floor where there's more seating and the restrooms, so families with strollers and/or wheelchairs should have no problem.
Read moreIf you're in a bit of a rush since it's a buffet getting take-away is very easy.
Pros: Delicious, Vegan-friendly, Friendly staff
Cons: Bit chaotic, Can be expensive, Outside smoking

Fast, fun, friendly, foodgasmic! - Edit
Tibits just-off Regent Street is my default place to go most times I'm in London. My non-veggie friends love it too.
Read moreAs it's pay-by-weight you're not penalised for not being obese (the converse of most buffets).
The range of items is usually pretty good, though the vegan ones are frequently cold items. There are always some hot ones too. It's hard to really place what makes this place so great, it's a combination of factors.
I would suggest going here at least once if you're visiting.
They accept tastecard discounts too.
Pros: Quality, Range, Speed
Cons: Not-cheap

Healthy Vegetarian and Vegan in London - Edit
you eat as much or as little to choose from a vast array of delicious dishes mostly vegan and pay by weight. Lovely place to be, tucked just behind the Bustle of Regent Street.
Read moreVegan desserts not as impressive (yet) but there nearly always is one. Less choice for vegans on hot dishes.
Pros: healthy cuisine, good value, friendly staff
Cons: Desserts often 2nd thought

buffet bonanza - Edit
The best thing about the buffet was that everything was marked clearly - e.g. eggs, dairy, etc. There were plenty of vegan options. The quality of the food was reasonable, but not amazing. So while there were plenty of options on what you could eat, not too much of it really blew your mind. Not surprising given it is a buffet. One negative was that there were only a limited range of desserts available and none of them were overly appetising.
Read morePros: food clearly labelled, can pick and choose
Cons: minimal dessert options

A place to meet your friends with children - Edit
The restaurant is in the small/short pedestrian street near to Picaddily circle. If you come from piccaddilly underground heading to Regent Street, you will see Zara Home at the corner of the street. There are a few expensive looking restaurants/bars on this street. Most dishes are healthy and well done. One takes from the buffet area and then weight & pay at the bar. I had my main dish cum salads at around 8 pounds. Dessert at 4 pounds. Worth to mention, they have high chair for children and a small playing area at the basement. So people who are dinning with small kids can opt to take the meal at the basement, while the kids can play after their meals. The bar have some juice drinks for children too.
Read morePros: Food, Rather children friendly
Cons: *

My number 1 so far - Edit
This place is a great break from the hectic Regent Street noise. Buffet style with a nice selection of very tasty dishes. Some good juices as well. We had a three plates consisting of salad, large plate of hot/cold dishes, plus a tasty desert and juice for around 20 pounds so not a place to eat everyday if on a budget but definitely worth a visit. You pay by the weight of the food though so you decide how much you want to eat and pay.
Read morePros: Tasty dishes, Good Selection, Weight determines price
Cons: Parking (its London so forget it)

Great concept! - Edit
This is a vegetarian pay-by-weight buffet. Fill up your plate first, and then pay at the register.
Read moreAll vegan options are clearly labeled, and there are extra vegan treats by the registers (including the best apple turnover I've ever had).
We really enjoyed all the food we got here. It was all so healthy and fresh. I only wish we'd had time to go back again!

Excellent - Edit
Tibits has a nice variety of foods at its buffet, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the location is great. Selling a buffet meal by weight makes the most sense. That way, you can taste something and then if you like it, go back for more and pay again (unlike the fixed price buffets that allow you to fill your plate once - if you've not eaten there before, you don't know how spicy something is and if you'll like it). There are good vegan options, all clearly labeled.

Decent food on the go - Edit
Decent enough place to pop in for a lunch bite. It's buffet style and pay by the weight of what's on your plate. For it's location the prices are reasonable and there's a lovely courtyard to sit outside in the summer months. The food has a good variety of cuisines and all tastes very fresh. There's nothing outstanding, but it's all pretty good, so nothing to complain about either!

Great atmosphere - Edit
A friend of mine raved about this place and so I was keen to try it out. I've been back twice and have recommended it to others mainly because I love the cool decor, the relaxed atmosphere, the friendly, efficient staff and the fact that there are lots of tasty things to eat there. They also do excellent soya hot chocolate.
Read moreI wish they would do a couple more hot dishes (especially because it's so cold at the moment!) and you can pay quite a lot for your plateful if you pile the food on too high being greedy like I was. But overall it's a good place to eat and I hope they never get complacent and keep it up as London needs and deserves nice places like this for veggies.
Pros: Lots of different tasty things, Great atmosphere, Lovely decor
Cons: Can be bit pricey, wish for more hot vegan dishes

Really like this place - Edit
We're both vegan and took some non-vegan friends here. I'd emailed ahead to check there were sufficient vegan choices, including puddings (important!) and received assurances there would be. Unfortunately when we got there they only had bircher muesli (??!!*) for pud, which was a bit annoying. I notice that another lucky reviewer got cheesecake, but no such luck when we were there. However....the choice of cold vegan dishes on the buffet was great (probably 70% were vegan), hot dishes less so (probably 30%) and the food was very good quality and a nice variety of flavours. Several dishes included tofu, which was well cooked. You pay by weight of plate and we managed £27 between two of us. I can see it being problematic if they start putting the price up, as £15 per plate for a buffet feels about max for me. The positive aspect of pay per weight though is that we saw absolutely no food wasted, which has to be a good thing. The ambience is really nice - it's probably the most comfortable veggie restaurant in London - and the location ace. On balance this is probably my fave restaurant at the moment.
Read morePros: Ambience, Good choice for vegans, Location
Cons: Pay by weight can surprise you , Need more vegan puds

Tasty healthy food, lovely atmosphere, bit pricey - Edit
Tibits is one of my favourite veg restaurants in London.
Read moreLocation and decor: It has an excellent location near Oxford Circus and Picadilly Circus on Heddon Street. The inside is beautiful with flock velvet wallpaper, and really pretty sofas and chairs.
Since it is mostly self-service (you can order certain items like baguettes and cookies from the till) it is great for parties where people are arriving at different times, and for casual get togethers where some people want to eat more than others. I also go there with my boyfriend for dates as the food is great and the staff let us sit for as long as we like so it is a good all-rounder.
Food: As you walk in from Heddon Street, on the left there is a round buffet counter where you can serve yourself from the array of cold and hot plates. There are many good cold salad dishes (taboulleh, giant butter beans, daal, lentils with parsley, rocket, mange tout, edamame beans, cucmber and tofu, cherry tomatoes and tofu etc) on the bottom counters and hot dishes (usually a thai curry dish, an indian curry dish, potato wedges, baked cauliflower, basmati rice) on the top counter. The only con is that there aren't many vegan desserts - only the chocolate coconut cream which is delicious. Then you pay at the counter. Beware it can work out a bit pricey. For a really full plate it can go up to £15 and there is no longer a cap. Don't forget your free bread roll with this.
Drinks: They also have great fruit juices (with a loyalty card you get 1 free juice with 5 stamps) and good wines.
Staff: The staff have always been really friendly to us. They always ask us as we enter if we have been to Tibits before ready to explain how it works, and are friendly to us at the till.
Pros: healthy food, friendly staff, great atmosphere
Cons: bit pricey, not many vegan desserts

Good vegan tasty food but bit pricey - Edit
I love my food and I love good food so I was keen to try Tibits. There is a great selection of vegan food except very few vegan puddings. We went at a quiet time so expected the staff to be friendlier. They ignored us when we walked in despite being right by the door and they had noticed us. Being no wallflower I told them it was our first time and to explain how it worked. They told us briefly but did not point out the hot plates so we only saw the hot plate storage after loading up our hot food on cold plates. The food though was very good and great choice for vegan except choice of vegan puddings which was very poor. However their chocolate coconut vegan desert was to die for! Ok we did pick a good amount but our mains were £15 each which for the fact we served ourselves was pricey. I'm happy to pay for good food and Terre a Terre, Brighton is one of my favourite UK restaurants. There was much more I wanted to try so I'll certainly go back. The design of the place is very cool. I think it would work better as an all you can eat buffet for a set price as I'd rather take a few items and keep going back. When you pay per plate you feel piggy if you keep buying new plates! Also plates are small for a pay by weight system so we had to pile the food all on top of each other. It's too quick for a romantic night out being buffet and self service. If it were a set price all you want buffet ( happy to pay £15 - £20 per person for that) and the staff were welcoming I'd give it 5/5 ;0)
Read morePros: Great vegan selection of mains, Great food , Nice modern decor
Cons: Bad service, indifferent staff, Pricey for a buffet, Too few vegan puds

Delicious lunch - Edit
My type of vegetarian restaurant - a large, diverse selection of freshly prepared tasty food. And a good range of juices, teas and coffees. Even though the restaurant is situated just off Regent Street, it is just slightly on the beaten track and when we went it wasn't overly busy.
