The Best Vegan Restaurants in London

In need of some new London restaurant inspiration for Veganuary? Instead of hitting up your old favourites and forcing yourself to order their only vegan option, how about trying somewhere new, like one of these super delicious, vegan-friendly restaurants in the city. Whether you're taking part in the month-long challenge or not, your tastebuds will definitely be thanking you! 

222 Veggie Vegan

The festive season is well and truly over, and many of us are in need of a few extra veggies to get us feeling back on track. 222 Veggie Vegan always guarantees vegetables-galore. Although it has a comforting menu, with winter options including a pumpkin and pine nut risotto and a vegan roast, the food is always fresh, nutritious and is never deep-fried.

Nearest station: West Brompton

PickyWops Pizza

This pizzeria has been much hyped on social, and it’s no wonder why! The menu is 100% vegan and absolutely delicious. Pick your base from their list of unique options including Spirulina, Hemp and Turmeric, before going to town on all the toppings. From sausage to salami, mozzarella or ricotta, they’ve got every vegan alternative you could ever imagine.

Tibits

This Veggie / Vegan buffet style restaurant has long been a firm favourite for the non-meat-eating crowd – so much so that they’ve now opened their second branch just behind the Tate Modern. The buffet is usually 80% vegan, however every Tuesday they go completely animal-product free – perfect for anyone attempting Veganuary! On their winter menu, highlights include a chestnut, mushroom & cashew nut roast with vegan gravy, roasted veggies, delicious potato wedges and a whole host of their usual salads. However, be warned, it’s pay by weight, which can be dangerous on your wallet when the food tastes this delicious!

The Waiting Room

For those times when a salad just isn’t going to cut the mustard and a craving for comfort food calls, check out the Waiting Room in Deptford. It’s less raw vegetables and more stacked burgers (including The Colonel: a southern fried ‘chicken’ burger), ‘fish’ finger sandwiches and ‘chilli’ hot dogs. 

Nearest station: Deptford Bridge

Manna

Located in Primrose Hill, this entirely vegan restaurant has a super varied menu, and contains raw, soy free and gluten free options too. From raw tacos, to an leek and almond tart with a polenta base to organic bangers and mash - whatever you fancy, they'll have something for you at Manna.

Cookies and Scream

Just because you’re doing Veganuary doesn’t mean you should miss out on dessert! This bakery in Camden is entirely vegan and gluten free bakery to get you your sweet fix without the animal products. Plantbased brownies, donuts, thick shakes and ice cream sandwiches? Yes please!
