Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hi! I've been lurking here for a while, and I thought this would be a good time to post my first message, as I will be in the UK next week! I live in Ireland, and I'll be in London on Monday and Tuesday. I've been there before, but I've only been to a veggie restaurant there once. I was wondering if anyone would have any tips on nice vegan-friendly restaurants to visit in London (especially if it's a place with great desserts! Also, I'd like to know if there are any vegetarian/vegan-related events scheduled there for these dates. Thanks a lot for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the vegan front there's lots of Chinese/Thai/Whatever buffets that have appeared lately... best I've seen is the one just of Tottenham Court Road near Windmill Street (from TCR tube station, turn left before the HSBC bank, and it's on the left). This one has the all-you-can-eat buffet, but also has pancake rolls and steamed dumplings *include in the buffet price*. Lots of fake meat / soy-weirdness, so depends on what your tastes are / what your mood is... However, they must be the best/most interesting thing to hit London veggieness for a while... Dessert-wise, not a lot AFAIK. A new veggie restaurant has opened recently on Marylebone High Street, details in this week's Time Out (will hunt it down if I remember, otherwise the same Time Out will be Mondays). Mildred's is better than ever in it's new bigger location, and is licensed. And it does desserts. Cafe Pushkar in Brixton is (hopefully still) now open in the evenings, and was always great for vegan cakes... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Thank you for the reply, Steve. It sounds great, and I'll definitely try the ones in Tottenham Court Road and Marylebone High Street. Thanks a million for your help! (By the way, if anybody ever needs help finding vegan-friendly places in Ireland, I'd be more than happy to try and give you some hints too!) , " Steve Welburn " <@s...> wrote: > > I've been lurking here for a while, and I thought this would be a > > good time to post my first message, as I will be in the UK next > > week!
