Vegetarian food - best restaurants?

[scotch]

Hello all.

I am looking for some great restaurant to take my mum for her 65th birthday.

She is a vegetarian!!

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Many thanks.

If she likes Indian food, then there are quite a few places on Lordship Lane - they?ll have plenty of veggie options :)

I don't know if you are looking for anywhere local as you haven't mentioned it but I love the restaurant Ethos. It is a very beautiful restaurant first of all and secondly it has a wide range of absolutely amazing all-vegetarian food. It's not on LL but it's just off Oxford Street on Eastcastle Street. But for the drive or train ride, it's def worth the journey! Hope she has a lovely 65th regardless of where you choose to go! X

Mildred's in Soho is a favourite

But definitely one of the most exciting veggie places I've eaten recently was Nama in Notting Hill. Delicious -

And that's from a self proclaimed carnivore!

If you don't necessarily want local (which is why I recommended Blue Brick) I recently had the most amazing meal at Moro in Exmouth Market. (You could even combine with a trip to Sadlers!) A friend and I shared their vegetable platter which was absolutely scrumptious. (the words vegetable platter do not do it any justice whatsoever!!)

You may or may not be looking for something upmarket but if you are then Vanilla Black is generally regarded as London's best vegetarian fine dining and is Michelin recommended.

The Grain Store by chef Bruno Loubet is also an interesting option for both veggies and meat eaters. This french chef has opened a restaurant where the food (unlike traditional french food) has a strong emphasis on vegetables. You will see from the menus that meat/ fish is included in a small number of the dishes but the vegetables take priority.

Manna in Primrose Hill/ NW3 also has a good reputation

Sorry East Dulwich for making recommendations that are not local but ED has yet to offer up a veggie restaurant as far as I'm aware

Toasted.

Today's menu has about 6 meat free dishes I would shove in my face with delight.

Wow. So many places sound amazing. Thank you all so much for your recommendations. Much appreciated as my mum means the world to me and I wanted somewhere nice to take her. Now I've just got to make a difficult decision of which one!!
