Best vegetarian restaurant in London- recommendations please!


Recommended Posts

Vanilla Black Nr Chancery Lane is

nice for a celebration or Carnavale on Whitecross St in the City for a less formal setting. Otherwise The Gate in Hammersmith. There are quite a lot of posh Micelin places with veggie tasting menus now but obv depends on howuch you want to spend!

I'd recommend The Gate too, particularly for a special birthday.


Rasa W1 in Derring St is no longer exclusivley veggie, and for a slightly posher feel the one on Charlotte Street might be better (it used to be fish and veggie, but I haven't been for a while). If you don't need exclusively veggie, then Tas EV near Southwark tube does great food and goes down well with veggies and carnivores alike, plus they will adapt for things like wheat allergies. And although it's probably not special enough for a birthday, Mildreds in Soho does good exclusively veggie food too.

Thanks so much to all of you :-). I think if it wasn't for the distance I'd definitely go for The Gate (my Mum lives in Hackney). It's still a massive posibility but there's one I've found on the net called Manna in Primrose Hill. Has anyone ever been here before?

I agree, definitely worth the trip from London to eat at Terre a Terre.


Can't believe Manna in Primrose Hill is still going, I'm sure I used to go there in the eighties :-$

Went to Mildreds last night and tbh wouldn't recommend it for a 60th - mainly because you cannot book a table, so have to take pot luck, and although there is no pressure to eat up and go you cannot help but be aware of the bar that is full of people waiting for a table. Finally the acoustics are not great so once it gets full up it can be quite hard to hear the other people in your party. The food itself is fine but I don't think the restaurant itself is up to a 'special' meal.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
