Iβve been vegan since around February, and living in London means thereβs so many places to get vegan food!Β Over the last few months, Iβve visited many restaurants and cafes that offer vegan food, and some that are specifically vegan or vegetarian, so Iβve decided to compile a variety of my favourites into a big blog post for you! (Also because my Instagram is always filled with pictures of vegan food, so I thought they could serve a dual purpose).
My Favourite Vegan Restaurants

Mildredβs:Β Soho & Camden
My friend (who isnβt even vegan) loves MildredβsΒ and could believe Iβd never been, so we had dinner there together one night in Camden. Itβs a lovely restaurant, with lots of options on the menu, and they have branches at Soho and Kingβs Cross too. I had the veganΒ Sri Lankan sweet potato curry with roasted lime cashews, green beans, pea basmati rice and coconut tomato sambalβ¦ doesnβt that sound delicious?! It was. I would definitely recommend Mildredβs to any vegetarian or vegan, and even my meat-loving friend enjoys it! They do good cocktails too.
Campbellβs Canal Cafe:Β Camden
Iβve spent many an evening in Campbellβs Canal Cafe in Camden, since I turned vegan. It boasts beautiful views over the canal with big windows, and their menu is great. I usually go for an iced chai latte, but I choose something different to eat each time because it all looks so good. Iβm planning on writing a separate blog post about it with more pictures, but if youβre in Camden, this is the place to go if youβre vegetarian or vegan. Their burgers are great, and they do an awesome sharing platter of tofu fish fingers, onion rings and chips with dips (featured in the first picture of this blog post), which I enjoyed with a friend. Campbellβs Canal Cafe also offer delicious smoothies, and they host musicians and run open mic nights too! I listened to a South Korean guy sing Coldplay and Oasis the other night, he was really good.
Cabana: Covent Garden, Westfield, Brixton, Islington & More
Youβre probably thinking, a Brazilian barbecue has vegan options?! Well surprisingly, yes, it does. Cabanaβs menu has useful little symbols next to vegetarian and vegan items on the menu, making it easy to order to your dietary requirements. Personally, I usually just get a portion of sweet potato fries (theirs are crispy and heavenly), and several 2 for 1 cocktails with a friend, but Iβve been meaning to try out a proper meal! There are several Cabanas across London, in places like Westfield and Covent Garden, and look how cute the kite ceiling decorations are! The sweet potato fries I mentioned are the ones shown in the first picture of this post, yum.
Vegan Cafes & Bakeries!
Cookies & Scream:Β Camden
You probably know how much I love Cookies & Scream already, considering I wrote a blog post about it last month. I just had to mention it again here, because their bakery is entirely vegan and gluten free, and they make the most delicious milkshakes (for only Β£3.50 may I add), as well as brownies, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, and other delicious baked goods depending on the day you go! Iβve been so many times, my goal is to try out all of their milkshake flavours!
Wild Food Cafe:Β Nealβs Yard
While out with a friend in Covent Garden, we got hungry, so I googled for nearby vegan restaurants / cafes. The Wild Food Cafe in Nealβs Yard was recommended, so we gave it a go. Like everywhere else in Nealβs Yard, itβs decorated in bright colours and is very welcoming. I went for their burger and sweet potato wedges because I was starving, but as much as I tried to enjoy it, I wasnβt a fan of the burger. However, they had lots of other options on the menu, which is raw-centric, and my friend really enjoyed her meal, so Iβd still recommend it. The staff are lovely, itβs a unique place, and their dessert menu looked delicious!
The Hive Wellbeing:Β Hackney
Last month, I checked out The Hive in Hackney with some fellow Girl Gang bloggers, which was organised by Laila from TapeParade. We had intended to go to the Black Cat Cafe, which is apparently another good (and 100% vegan) cafe, but it wasnβt big enough for all of us, so we migrated to The Hive. I had avocado on toast, an almond milk iced latte, and a delicious raw cocoa and pistachio brownie. I still need to check out the Black Cat Cafe!
Vegan Pizza
Pizza Pilgrims:Β Soho & Carnaby Street
Pizza Pilgrims is great. Itβs cute and quirky with an Italian-themed interior, the pizzas taste delicious, and itβs inexpensive. Iβve been to both their Carnaby Street and Soho restaurants, and enjoy their Marinara pizza, which is cheese-free, and flavoured with basil, oregano and chopped garlic. Did I mention that itβs only Β£5.50?! You canβt go wrong.
Zizzi:Β the Strand, Covent Garden, Westfield & many other locations.
Zizzi is definitely my favourite place for vegan pizza (so far!). They use vegan cheese made from rice milk, which is tastes creamy, and even have an entire vegan menu, including vegan sorbet gelato! Zizzi have many locations, are reasonably priced and often have deals like a free bottle of wine with two meals!
Hot Dogs!
Top Dog: Soho
I was never much of a hot dog fan anyway, but itβs nice to know that I can get a vegan one at Top Dog in Soho if I want! I had their vegan tofu hot dog with sweet potato fries (of course), and I really enjoyed it.
Donβt forget that there are tons of vegan street food options in places like Camden, Shoreditch and Dalston. I particularly like the Street Feast in Shoreditch, there are lots of veganΒ choices. There are also many omnivorous restaurants that you can get vegan meals at, including Pizza Express, Voodoo Rays (I hear their pizza slices are amazing), good old Wetherspoons, and even Nandos!
Are you vegan? Where are your favourite places to eat?
All the best,
It all looks and sounds so great! Iβve been to cookies and scream (multiple times lol) and omg everything is sooo good! Iβm gonna check out all your recommendations and save them to my google maps for later! Have you been to My Village Cafe in Camden? They have a lot of vegan options and a really cool and relaxing vibe to the place (also a really good spicy mocha!!!)

It just looks amazing at all of these places, and Iβm not even vegan!! H x
What some delicious sounding places to eat β it is so good places are starting to open / cater more for vegans. x
oh these look like fantastic places. I may have to try and visit one next time we go to london for medical reasons.
I am a vegetarian but all of these places sound so good, in fact i wrote them all down on paper to remind myself . Mildredβs is great I went a few months ago.
Great round up β I live in West Wales and there no vegan places here at all! It is great to have so much choice in London. Kaz x
What a great post I didnβt realise there were so many places that served vegan food, or that it could look so good.
I adore this post, its so helpful iβm definitely going to have to bookmark it! The sharing platter at Campbellβs looks incredible, iβve never seen anything like that before! xx

Some great looking places here. I think more people need to realise that vegan food can be fun and interesting too.
Cookies and scream is my favorite place ever! I still havenβt been to Mildredβs though, need to head there! x
I think if youβre going to be vegan, London is the place to be. I can imagine that this list only just scrapes the top of the list!
