Best Vegetarian and Vegan Food in London

Guide: Vegetarian and Plant-Based London

Best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in London, from formal plant-based tasting menus and generous Middle Eastern sharing tables to vegan Chinese, Soho staples, and Borough Market dinners.

• Gauthier SohoGauthier Soho gives London plant-based dining a formal lane: a vegan tasting-menu townhouse where the point is old-school French polish, seasonal technique, and a slower special-occasion meal without animal products.
• Mildreds SohoMildreds Soho is the long-running vegetarian crowd-pleaser for internationally inspired plant-based food, seasonal produce, cocktails, and enough menu range to satisfy mixed groups who are not all eating the same way.
• Bubala SpitalfieldsBubala Spitalfields is a vegetarian Middle Eastern sharing-table favorite: laffa, dips, grilled halloumi, vegetables, ferments, and enough warmth to make a meat-free dinner feel generous rather than restrictive.
• Mallow Borough MarketMallow Borough Market serves a fully plant-based menu of globally influenced, colorful plates and cocktails in a casual seated restaurant near the market.
• Tofu Vegan IslingtonTofu Vegan Islington is a plant-based Chinese restaurant for mapo tofu, dumplings, mock-meat dishes, noodles, and a menu that makes vegan food feel abundant rather than like a compromise.
• TendrilTendril is a mostly vegan Mayfair restaurant for inventive vegetable-led cooking, cocktails, and a central London room that works when plant-based dining needs to feel current rather than worthy.
• Plates LondonPlates London is the refined plant-based tasting-menu room from Kirk and Keeley Haworth, built around precise technique, seasonal British produce, and a quietly polished Shoreditch setting.
• Club Mexicana MayfairClub Mexicana serves fully vegan tacos, nachos, burritos, and frozen margaritas from the upper level of Mercato Mayfair. The cooking is loud with chile, acid, crunch, and color rather than built around meat substitutes alone.
• Govinda's SohoGovinda's has served vegetarian and vegan Indian food beside the Radha Krishna Temple since 1979. Thalis, curries, dal, rice, dosas, and sweets make it one of central London's most useful inexpensive meat-free meals.
• Holy CarrotHoly Carrot gives Portobello a polished plant-based dining room built around vegetables, live fire, fermentation, and low-waste cooking. The menu treats roots, mushrooms, grains, and sauces as the main event, backed by natural wine and cocktails.
