Soho

About the restaurant

A Soho dim sum house that caters to vegans upon request. Reviews happily report that Yauatcha were happy to adapt any of their vegetarian offerings to fully vegan offerings and were very knowledgeable about the ingredients used. Guests recommended the vegan fried rice, glass pumpkin dumplings and pan-fried vegetable dumplings. As well as classic dim sum and dumplings, there’s a wide range of wok dishes and an impressive cocktail and wine list, all offered in a uniquely contemporary setting.

About the restaurant

Offering regional Thai food with uncompromising flavors, som saa is full of just the right amount of heat to spice up your day. Available for lunch and dinner, this unassuming Thai joint is the brainchild of Masterchef finalist Andy Oliver and the flavors on offer really pack a punch. There’s no dedicated vegan menu here, but staff are happy to adapt recipes to the individual diner’s requirements, such as removing the shrimp from the iconic som tam Thai papaya salad. Check out the intriguing cocktail list, maybe a ‘Day by the Pool’ is just what you need.

Warm welcome, 4 of us for lunch. There was a la carte and a set menu to choose from, but the set menu is only provided for the whole table. Luckily, the dishes on the set menu today were cashew nuts with chilli and lime leaves, a beautiful, crunchy salad, duck curry, excellent mixed vegetables in garlic and oyster sauce, plus sticky and jasmine rice. We paid a supplement for a whole sea bass, fried. Dessert was also included.

Delicious food and great service. Our second visit and I'm sure we'll return at some point. Their wasabi prawns are incredible. Make sure you order them.

Mayfair

About the restaurant

A “leading destination for modern Catonese cuisine”, Hakkasan’s Michelin star is well earned. Set over two floors, there’s a relaxed, more informal dining area with a vibrant bar on the ground floor, and the lower ground floor is a more intimate setting with intricate wooden screens. Helpful staff will point out or arrange the best vegan options by adapting existing dishes. Diners love the soya vegan chicken and the deep-fried tofu receives comments like soft, creamy and full flavored.

About the restaurant

Have you ever tried Incan inspired cuisine? Coya offers a menu filled with Peruvian influence and outstanding ingredients. Coya also takes the vegan diet seriously, and there are plenty of delicious options available seasonally. Reviewers went wild for the house guacamole, which has a good kick, and zucchini with shitake and mint. Miso and eggplant combine in a main dish that’s sweet, sticky and sublime. Sides have included kale, goji berries, and candied walnuts. Contemporary cuisine with the spirit of adventure.
