A
Mildred’s
Central London’s most inventive veggie restaurant, Mildred’s heaves at lunchtime so don’t be shy about sharing a table in the sky-lit dining room. Expect the likes of roasted fennel and chickpea terrine and puy lentil casserole as well as more standard (and hugely portioned) salads and stir-fries. Drinks include juices, coffee, beer and organic wine.

Gate
Widely considered the best vegetarian restaurant in town, this destination eatery has a poor location behind the Hammersmith Apollo and is surrounded by flyovers, but the inventive dishes (aubergine teriyaki, shitake wonton and pumpkin laksa, rocket cannelloni), friendly and welcoming staff, and the relaxed atmosphere of the large, bright dining room overlooking a quiet courtyard make the trek here worthwhile. Surprisingly enough, it’s the desserts, such as the orange and Cointreau cheesecake, that get recurring rave reviews, as do the simple but inspired starters and the fine wine list.

Eat & Two Veg
One of the best vegetarian experiences in London, Eat & Two Veg is bright and breezy with charming, friendly staff and a smart 21st-century American-diner look. The menu is international eclectic – Thai green curry, Lankawi hotpot – and the mock meat dishes (‘sausage’ and mash, cheeseburger and fries) would fool even carnivores. There’s plenty on offer for vegans, too.

Blah Blah Blah
This vegetarian institution has been packing them in for years with imaginative, well-realised food and informal and very upbeat surrounds. Dishes lean towards the Mediterranean, though not exclusively, with other offerings including Kashmiri curry and vegetarian fajitas. You can bring your own bottle (corkage £1.50 per person).

Manna
Tucked away on a side street in Primrose Hill, London’s most glamorous inner-city village, this little place does a brisk trade in inventive vegetarian cooking. The menu features such mouthwatering dishes as green korma, wild garlic and pea risotto cake and superb desserts. Reservations are usually essential.

Blue Légume
This lively Stokey mainstay has mosaic tables and rather hippie decor, with a bright conservatory at the back, and a scattering of tables outside on the street. The breakfasts are rightly popular – and there’s a full Mediterranean menu ranging from lunches to a weekly paella night.

Food for Thought
This tiny vegetarian café is big on sociability and flavour, and small on price and space. Food ranges from soups and salads to stews and stir-fries with brown rice. Dishes might be vegan, organic and/or gluten-free. Food for Thought is earthy, unpretentious and deservedly packed.
