Islington, Vegan Restaurant Guide

“Delicious” plant-based versions of classic American comfort food – from burgers, seitan hot dogs and pastrami to milk-free shakes – cut the mustard at this pair of ‘dirty vegan diners’ in Camden Market and Islington. The Islington branch has a vegan butcher next door, touted as the world’s first, with a concession in Selfridges.

“Wonderfully yummy plant-based food with no compromise on flavour” – “and so much more interesting than the standard Chinese offering” too – has made a big hit of this Islington yearling, whose mix of Sichuan, Cantonese and other influences make it “one of the best places ever!” It’s already on to branch number two, which opened in April 2022 – “a brilliant addition to Golders Green, all vegan and very tasty!”
