My youngest daughter, 'Bean', had a “Tweet convo” with Chloe Coscerelli (www.chefchloe.com) who mentioned that she was coming to the UK in a few weeks and did we have any suggestions. This is a reply I put together for her which I thought may make a good blog post to share. Please leave comments with any additional ideas.
Hi Chloe,
You mention your trip to the UK on your Tweet to so here are a few ideas.
I am assuming your trip will be to London (most are!) so I would recommend:
Manna restaurant in Primose Hill. It is the oldest Vegetarian restaurant in London that turned fully Vegan a few years ago, the food is gourmet and yummy. Primrose Hill is great too, very trendy and “in”, where a number of our “celebs” live. www.mannv.com
;
- If it's on the menu its vegan
The previous Head Chef from Manna left and now works at a couple of pubs (very English) called the Coach and Horses in Greek Street, Soho and The Smithfield (by the famous meat market!) both of which are now fully Vegetarian (the Vegan options are very good I am assured). I haven’t eaten at either yet but they are definitely on the list for my next trip. www.coachandhorsessoho.co.uk and www.thesmithfieldtavern.co.uk
;
Tibits in Heddon Street just off Regent Street is lovely. Vegetarian serve yourself lots of Vegan choice and the food is so fresh and there is such a selection of both hot and cold dishes (you pay by the weight of the plate when you have finished filling it). Our favourite place for lunch when shopping. www.tibits.co.uk
- So, so much choice!
Mildreds in Lexington Street, Soho, again Veggie but loads of Vegan options. Very small and you can’t book a table so we always arrive early (6.30 ish) www.mildreds.co.uk
Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street (yes, we have a few WFM over here!) have a Vegan/Raw restaurant upstairs called Saf which has a good menu, we have eaten there once and enjoyed it. http://www.safrestaurant.co.uk/
The Vegan “personality” in London at the moment is Ms Cupcake in Brixton. Haven’t tried them so I can’t say how they contrast/compare to yours. www.mscupcake.co.uk
- Let's hear it for Ms Cupcake.
Should you venture out of London then Brighton is the place to go for Vegan food although Manchester (near where I live) is getting better.
That’s a few to get you started, I shall be interested to follow your reports on your trip to see if you find some places that I haven’t heard of (very likely!).
Enjoy your trip and keep up the good work.
Love and Peace
Carol
