Meat-free ‘babs’ at Maison Bab
Modern kebab house Maison Bab Covent Garden serve several flavourful meat-free starters and sides including the chipotle tahini broccoli and hummus topped with peanut curry pesto and flatbread. For mains, the Vegan Dirty Bab is a winner; featuring a Beyond Meat vegan ragu, french fries, vegan mayo, sandwich pickles, vegan fondue, mesclun leaves all on a house made sourdough naan. If that doesn’t sound delicious enough already then for every Vegan Dirty Bab sold, Maison Bab will plant a tree.
Go Vegan at Dishoom
Vegetables take pride of place at Bombay-inspired Dishoom Covent Garden, who serve up a full plant-based menu alongside its regular offer. Kick start the day with ‘The Vegan Bombay’ fry-up or the freshly baked vegan sausage naan roll. At lunch, and later, try the chole puri curry or for something a little lighter, opt for the kala ghana salad. Finish off with the tasty kala khatta gola ice in kokum syrup, washed down with a warming oat milk chai.
Opt for plant-based power from Bill’s
The menu at Bill’s Covent Garden is overflowing with vegetarian and plant-based goodness. Over half of its breakfast menu is meat-free such as the grand ‘Garden Plate’ which also has a vegan alternative. For lunch, enjoy dishes such as the spicy falafel bowl or beetroot wellington alongside a selection of sides. You won’t be disappointed when it comes to dessert, tuck into the truly decadent salted caramel and chocolate tart, served with coconut ice cream.
Go dairy-free at Badiani
Gelato store Badiani has an exciting array of award winning flavours but for vegans be sure to try the creamiest chocolate sorbet in town. This flavour is 100% vegan and is made with Venezuelan dark chocolate. Looking for something more fruity?
