// London //

The “fast food” hits – Leon and Pret. Organic and dairy free porridge in the morning, wraps and salads for lunch, delicious coconut milk coffees. These quick stop shops were a lifesaver for the days where I wanted to prioritise walking and exploring on foot, and the days where my travel budget was screaming “oh dear god – stop”. Available on almost every single street, seriously, of central and surrounding London – their accessibility, affordability, quality and ethos were a God send for this vego señorita.

Tibits – Only just opening the week of my arrival, cheers universe, this place is a vegans answer to a sort of all-you-can-eat buffet. Located in beautiful Southbank and set up with a funky and chic interior, this is a weigh and pay dining experience with a plethora of vegan and special diet options. Each dish is labeled with its alleged list and diet base [nuts, dairy, eggs, soy etc] and offers approximately 30 dishes to choose from! Opening week offered 50% off all plates, so for next to nothing I scored an amazing vege feast that least my body and soul frikkin buzzing. Check them out and give these new guys some love.

Mildreds – Holy tolitoes. A last minute addition to the list, with my final London dinner shared here, it almost didn’t make it. This totally [refreshingly] non self proclaiming vegetarian restaurant is located just close to Piccadilly Circus and

NanaBar – I adore banana nice cream – one of the most delicious “treats” in my bag of tricks. So in learning of a newly opened banana ice cream cafe, I was there faster than you can say “double scoop plez”. Each day they offer a different flavour combo – ranging from rocky road to peanut butter to strawberry cheesecake. I rocked up – ever so timely – on peanut butter day. Holy sheet – amazing. The founder and co founder were both hanging about, snapping photos and being so lovely and attentive to their customers. I had a good old chat with the co founder, and listened eagerly as she shared their passion and story. Another new venture – opening in July and running til Sept 23rd [pending their, inevitable, success and community support] these guys are the new kids on the block. Do yourself, and me, a favour and head on down to support the work of this super duo. Trust me – you’ll emerge with the happiest of tummies and hearts.

// BATH //

On my day trip to Bath, unsure of what to expect from this country town, I was a little anxious about the food options that would be available. I needn’t have feared – within 10 minutes on leaving the station, I came across Green Rocket – an epic health cafe just off the main drag. They offer plant based juices, meals, snacks, desserts – as well as healthy lacto-ovo-vegetarian dishes too! Kind of steep in price, when you add up the cost of a mixed leaf salad and juice, BUT exceptional quality of produce and absolutely delicious.
During a walking tour of the city, I also came across the famed Fudge Factory that offered free tasting and live demonstrations of their production. I was absolutely delighted to find out that they offer a dairy free version – using coconut milk instead – to make a dark chocolate fudge. The lovely guy explained the process and how creating a vegan fudge differs slightly to a generic fudge, and even offered me a little sampler. Bottom line? Even on the outskirts of the big bad city, you have options a plenty.

That’s it for this [vegan tortilla] wrap up of te best vego spots in and around London Town. If you, like moi, are a plant based little foodie [but a foodie none the less, and don’t want to lose out on epic food] never fear, London got your back girl!

Blessings and so GD much food x
