☕️The fussy French aka @frenchkimchi went for an #oatmilk #latte unusually opting for #caffeine! They have a huge range of🌱 #veganmilk here so you are #spoiltforchoice. It’s only £3.60 too which seems so cheap for #veganlondon. I loved the cute cup and saucer and pretty latte art on this one. He ordered a second later with dessert it was so good. We were all super impressed with the majority of dishes here and will definitely come back. They don’t waste anything and reuse everything to make the most of all the scraps and excess. Can’t wait to go back and try their £25 lunch menu with drink, main, salad, and dessert included at 40% off the usual prices. #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant

Oat Latte

☕️ A nice #oatmilk #latte made #decaf pour moi. The cup and saucer are so pretty! It’s super cheap here at £3.60 and you can choose Sproud, soya, coconut, cashew or almond milk. Wow. It was warming and nice to ride us over till the food arrived. A lot of the food here is exquisite. There previous location used to be mega fine dining fancy while this is more normal and basic looking. Looking forward to going back. #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant

Decaf Oat Latte

🍵 #icedlatte #matcha style with #soymilk 🫛for added #protein. The younger fussy French got this and asked for not so much ice and unsweetened soy milk. Indeed this was not sweet at all when I tasted it but he loved it. He ordered a second one for dessert as well. To me it just tastes grassy. Not my thing even when I lived in Japan. It’s funny as I drink mint green tea most mornings too with no trouble. I think this was £5.50ish. The presentation was pretty and it’s supposed to be so healthy for you. 🌱 #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant #veganlondon

Iced Matcha Latte

☕️A #pecan #tiramisu which was a great twist to have a nutty 🌰base and add some #protein. They don’t use refined sugars here so this wasn’t very sweet at all. It was still decadent and wonderful and obviously tasted of #coffee. It’s probably one of the better tiramisu in #veganlondon. 🌱The Cafe Petiole tiramisu is another of my favorite ones but once I had a bad one there. I was so full though here as we ordered and ate way too much I struggled to fully appreciate this. 🐷It was £8. #dessert #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants

Pecan Tiramisu

🥕🫜This was underwhelming considering some of the spectacular other dishes here. These #pickles and #fermented veg were pretty much as expected. The 🫛#greenbeans were spicier than the #peppers 🫑surprisingly. #spicy 🌶️ The 🍄‍🟫 #mushroom was super nice and meaty. Not worth it for £8 in my opinion and wouldn’t order again. Love, love, loved several of the other dishes. They focus on celebrating #vegetables here which is great. #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants #veganlondon #londoneats Cool place to coordinate with a trip to Portabello Road market as it’s there.

Pickles & Ferments

alisonsstar2,060 reviews

🥬I ordered this late after getting the first two dishes and thinking we hadn’t ordered enough. We didn’t need this and completely over ordered by one or two dishes. This charred hispi #cabbage also had #tofu 🫛which I didn’t detect, #chilli 🌶️ and an XO sauce which I’d never heard of. It’s fancier than I normally dine at here. This was nice but not something I’d get again. £10 Other dishes were just a knock out here though and we’ll definitely go back again but be way more reserved in our ordering.🌱 #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant #veganlondon #londoneats

Charred Hispi Cabbage

🍠I love #sweetpotato so was totally game when the fussy French was also interested to try this. It was a yellow one rather than orange with a🌽 #corn #miso #butter. 🧈It also had #sunflowerseeds 🌻and #chives. Like almost everything it was #grilled as they believe this brings the best flavors out of the veggies but then it was quite charred. 🔥This was a side dish and none of us loved it although it had some interesting twists to try at home. £12🌱 #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants #veganlondon #londoneats

Grilled Sweet Potato “Yaki-Imo”

alisonsstar2,060 reviews

🍅🌶️I’m not wild about #shakshuka and my partner chose this. It was very nice though with lots of heat. #spicy You could avoid the little and big grilled #peppers to tone down the heat probably. This has #smokedtofu 🫛in it which I could not detect and came with delectable #focaccia 🍞to mop up the #tomato sauce. All for £15.50 at lunch time. They also do a £25 set lunch menu which is 40% off their normal prices. I’d love to try that someday. This is in Notting Hill on the Portabello Road now not Chelsea. I’ve asked for them to change the address but it’s taking some time. #veganrestaurant #saveveganrestaurants We keep seeing more vegan restaurants closing here so thought we should spend my whole voucher in one go just in case they close and we lose it. Gutted about What the Pitta 🥙closing. 😢

Shakshouka

🍄‍🟫Another rival here for best #friedchicken in #londoneats made from #mushroom. It’s so #crispy and #crunchy and #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease! They add lots of 🥒pickles and ferments to complement and an aji buffalo #hotsauce underneath. 🌶️This was in my top two with the burger. Only £13.50 and it felt like a huge portion to share amongst three but we did order too much. I’d get this again in a heartbeat. In fact I got this the previous time I visited but it was served as part of a main dish then🌱. #saveveganrestaurants #veganrestaurant #veganlondon This dish is #glutenfree too.

🌽This was beautiful and one of both the fussy French’s preferred dishes here. It’s coal roasted #leek with aji #corn and #almond romesco. It can be a bit like fine dining here and this definitely looked it. The ground corn underneath was very yummy as were all the sauces. It’s a🌱 #veganrestaurant where I got a gift voucher and we splurged on a wildly decadent meal totally ordering too much, oops. £13.50 #veganlondon #londoneats #saveveganrestaurants As we were leaving they were roasting the leeks whole over the grill and it was a bit smoky. They highlight the magic of veggies on the grill here and do 🌱plant forward food. They do a £25 set menu for lunch which includes a 🥤drink, 🍕main, 🥗salad, and 🍦dessert and is a 40% saving off if you bought everything separately. I’d like to go back and try that someday. Or the fussy French said he’d come back for this and the burger.

Coal Roasted Leeks

🍔WOW!🤩 This #artichoke #burger is to die for. So creative and different. The patty is made from artichoke which I just adore. Then there is a smoked #tofu 🫛gribiche which I’ve never heard of but it’s a creamy sauce normally made from egg. After that there’s loads of #sauerkraut and fermented stuff as they love that here with a brioche like bun. It was heaven for all of us and the fussy French 🇫🇷said he’d come back for that in a heartbeat. Photo cred to @frenchkimchi aka the fussy French. I had a gift voucher for this place as it’s pricier than we normally indulge in for going out to eat. My colleagues kindly splurged on a very generous voucher for a🌱 #veganrestaurant for me when I was leaving. So kind and thoughtful of them!🥰 #saveveganrestaurants This restaurant has moved from Knightsbridge to Portabello Road in Notting Hill. I’ve asked for it to be amended. £15.50 #veganlondon #londoneats
