Islington, Vegan Restaurant Guide

2023 Review: “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.

“Fantastic vegan Sichuan food” – “bursting with spices and tastes” – makes any one of this “deservedly popular” trio in Islington, Golders Green and Spitalfields Market (from the team behind omnivore Xi’an Impression) “a go-to place if you want to eat vegan with an Asian twist”. “Don’t go because it’s vegan, but because the food is just so good!”

“Super-creative and super-tasty Caribbean food is served in a cool and buzzy setting” at siblings Jordan & Chyna Johnson’s neighbourhood restaurant and cocktail bar north of Islington’s Chapel Market. The surprise is that it’s vegan! with intriguing plant-based substitutes in dishes such as ‘saltfish’ sushi; Bajan fried ‘fish’ tacos; and ‘Oxtail’ chow mein.
