Superb vegetarian and vegan restaurant in London. Extremely tasty stuff, which are appreciated also by avid meat eaters as my boyfriend :)
Overall evaluation: 9/10
Food quality/ taste: 9/10
Price: 8/10 (~£50 pp for a starter, main and dessert with a glass of wine)
Service: 7/10
Value for money: 9/10
This is my first post as ' food blogger-to-be' and I would like to start from one of my favorite restaurants in town when it comes to veggie and vegetarian food.
I am an easy win, as I really love vegetables in all their shape and forms, but it is a higher achievement when people like my meat lover boyfriend find this place very tasty.
When it comes to their menu, there is plenty of options, from very healthy options to more tasty and slightly more indulgent ones. Starters and mains can change based on seasonality so some of the suggestions I will provide you with could not be available once you try the place.
When we go there just me and my boyfriend Francesco we use to order:
- 2 starters to share (I recommend the artichoke terrine and miso glazed aubergine, which are an ever green)
- 1 main each (If you want to stay on the light side - as I usually do - I suggest the Green Dragon salad with smoked tofu or, if you are up to something more indulgent you can try with the aubergine schnitzel, tortillas/ tacos or the pan fried risotto)
- Francesco usually gets also a dessert (you will get to know that I do not like desserts/ sweet stuff) and cheesecake and tiramisu are very good options according to him
The last time we went with some friends and got 1 sharing mezze platter as a starter (in picture above), which was also very tasty and allows you to taste multiple starters from their tasty selection.
The only negative note I would like to make is around service, which sometimes is a bit slow and not super responsive to customer requests ... but quality of food totally makes up for that!
