Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 I went to Neal's Yard (London) yesterday and was pleased to see that the salad bar in the top part of the yard has been reopened! Lovely food too. ;-) Janey x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Huh?? I don't get it. If you're thinking I mean Whole Foods as in Whole Foods, the market here in the U.S., I don't (but then again, what's wrong with Whole Foods? I love that place.). The restaurant I discovered when I lived in London in the early 1990s is actually called Whole Food Cafe (sorry, my mistake), and yes, it's in Neal's Yard, up a flight of stairs right next to the remedy shop. I've eaten there many times over the years, including as recently as last March. It's great. By the way, London is filled with great vegetarian restaurants, but I would not classify them all as kid-friendly. Terry - Elizabeth Bakwin Friday, September 17, 2004 10:13 AM Re: Travel Tips? << In Neal's Yard, in Covent Garden, is the Whole Foods Cafe >> Oh say this isn't so! Or do you mean that Neal's Yard now has another place called " Whole Foods Cafe " in addition to " Food for Thought " ? The thought of a Whole Foods in Neal's Yard is just too painful to bear. Neal's Yard was health food back when such a thing was decidedly un-trendy. BTW, I agree with all the other responders that Britain is easier than most of the States when it comes to finding vegetarian food. You shouldn't have any problem.

And definitely, whoever is going over there, you've got to stop by Neal's Yard. It's right in the center of things, so you won't be going out of your way, and there's lots of good vegetarian food available. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 At last the list's token lurking londoner reads her mesages and notices this thread <g> You might be interested in this link for london restaurants http://www.veganlondon.freeserve.co.uk/restaurants.htm Neals Yard is very nice indeed - lots of restaurants you can buy from and eat outside or a couple of indoors ones. My children love going there. I can't tell you anything about other eating out places though - we are not great restaurant goers. Depending on your budget, you might find supermarket in house eating places usefull - places like the larger Tesco's, Sainsbury's and Safeway's generally have a cafe with a reasonable looking veggie option or two. I eat in them quite a lot with my children but being vegan we are often limited to chips (french fries), baked beans, over boiled vegetables and tinned tomatoes. But they are fine with children, provide high chairs, well mine feel very comfortable. If you let us know what areas you are thinking of visiting, I could ask on another UK list for recommendations. hth Jenna , " Terry Somerson " <terry@s...> wrote: > Huh?? I don't get it.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I missed the original content of this e-mail, but I can tell you one thing that is HORRIBLY wrong with Whole Foods, despite all their good stuff: they have live lobster and crab tanks! I have written to them a personal e-mail asking them to remove the tanks, but I got *no* response.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Jodi, Yes, I agree that the live seafood is horrible. I've never seen it in any WF I've shopped in but that may be because in general I consider the plight of lobsters and crabs so unspeakable that I avoid seeing them or thinking about them. So it may be there, I just don't see it. Consumption of any meat or fish is awful, but I find myself feeling even more sad when I think about people eating lobster, lamb, and veal, especially when they rave about how delicious it is. So I don't mean to excuse Whole Foods, but I do still shop at places like Stop & Shop, which of course have little interest in either selling healthy, wholesome food or promoting the rights of animals. The fact that Whole Foods sells meat has always disturbed me, but again, it's so hard to find the unadulterated, organic products I need that I have to rely on it. But I do appreciate your position and will check out the link you offered.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I wish I had known about it when I was there 4 years ago. We managed to eat well anyway though.
