The current Number 1 on this tasty list of plant and dairy-based goodness is the new branch of Holy Carrot in Spitalfields, which - unlike its Notting Hill counterpart - caters for vegetarians as well as vegans. Weve even included a few places that arent fully veggie, but offer a great vegetarian menu, like Dalston BBQ spot Acme Fire Cult, Slowburn in Walthamstow, and global comfort food bistro Jikoni in Marylebone, which has just opened a great spin-off cafe inside the brand new V&A East in Stratford that offers one of London’s best breakfasts.

It’s a treat to be veggie in London, and there are plenty of fantastic vegetarian restaurants, cafés and street-food stalls that cater to those who want to feast without the flesh, but still scoff butter, cheese and eggs. Read on and youll find down-to-earth veggie cafés, meat-free curry houses, healthy restaurants and swish spots that’ll convince even hardened carnivores to give peas a chance. 

RECOMMENDED: Go fully plant-based with the best vegan restaurants in London.
