Do you love the idea of eating more green? Or maybe you’ve done it for years, but you’re looking to switch up your regular dishes for something more adventurous.

That’s where DesignMyNight comes in. They know all the best places on the eat green scene, whether you’re looking for a dairy-free afternoon tea inspired by The Queen, or to tuck into a tasty vegan cheese – we’ve got you covered.
Punk Pasta
Rock and roll up to Punk Pasta which serves up some of the best vegan Italian food in Central London. They’ve got everything from fresh pasta and hemp pesto, to scrumptious meatballs – well you know, minus the meat. They’ve even got a whole range of vegan cheeses for you to enjoy. The best bonus is that all their gorgeous grub is homemade and sustainably sourced, so by eating there you’ll be satisfying yourself and the environment (it’s a win win, right?).
The Skinny Kitchen Islington
If you’re looking for some seriously tasty vegan delights, as well as a place to take the best Instagram pic, then you’re in luck. The Skinny Kitchen offers vegan breakfasts, falafel bowls, and coconut curry (plus loads more) for you to enjoy in their pastel pink paradise. Plus, their fabulous bottomless brunch means you can indulge in free-flowing drinks, fabulous food and a cheeky boogie at the weekend. This place is the ultimate guilt-free pleasure.
Powerplant Camden
Camden is the home to the most wacky and wonderful restaurants in the city, and Powerplant is no exception. Enjoy an array of plant-based dishes, including tofu scrambled eggs, pan fried dumplings and a green lasagne – trust us on this one. Don’t be fooled though, this place is far more than just a restaurant. In true Camden fashion, expect a whole host of jazz dinners, art showcases and movie nights for something extra special. They even run a happy hour between 4pm and 7pm, what are you waiting for?
Vegan Royal Afternoon Tea At The Rubens
Ever wondered what it’s like to live like royalty? The Ruben’s vegan afternoon tea will certainly give you a taster. Enjoy a whole selection of plant-based pastries which have all been inspired by Queen Elizabeth II – don’t you know they taste just as grand as they sound. Of course, it wouldn’t be an afternoon tea without a glass of bubbly (Lanson Le Green Label Organic Brut Champagne, to be exact) for something a little extra special. Relish in this experience all whilst looking out onto the Royal Mews and Buckingham Palace.
Tendril
Tucked away behind a Fuller’s pub in the heart of Soho is an unexpected treat (if you love your greens, that is). Tendril, branded as a (mostly) vegan restaurant is a venue like no other. With its constantly changing discovery menu and many explorative dishes – this place is set to convert even the most carnivorous customer onto a plant-based diet. So forget kale and unseasoned tofu, Tendril is about to show you what it’s really like to be vegan.
Mildreds
If you’re new to the vegan lifestyle or want to know more about some plant-based beauties in the city, Mildreds is the best place to start. With venues all across London, these guys have really shaken up the vegan restaurant scene. You can find all your firm favourites, such as bangers and mash and kebabs, minus all the meaty stuff. To top it all off, grab yourself some vegan vanilla buttercream cake to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Holy Carrot
A perfect vegan restaurant that also happens to do afternoon tea? The answer to your prayers is Holy Carrot. This Knightsbridge nook offers some tasty brunch dishes, as well as a completely plant-based afternoon tea. If you’re heading there on a weekend (or a school night) then why not try some of their delicious cocktails, mocktails or pick from their vegan wine collection. The choices are endless.
Alter
London is home to a variety of amazing food spots inspired by cultures all over the world, meaning we don’t have to just settle for fish and chips. Alter is one of those fabulous places, offering up some of the best plant-based pizzas and pan-Asian bites in the city. Its ever changing menu is inspired by street food from Thailand, Vietnam, China and Malaysia, so you’re completely spoiled for choice. If you’re looking for inner city Tokyo vibes and adventurous dishes in London, Alter is for you.
Ollie’s House
A Chelsea chillout spot that has taken the vegan world by storm is Ollie’s House. There’s plenty of plant-based options to choose from on their menu, including packed brunch bowls, tofu breakfast baos and an array of Asian-inspired dishes. It also feels like you’ve stepped off Fulham Road into a tropical paradise – perfect if you’re looking to escape the London life for a bit. Although their vegan dishes do steal the show, they also have a dedicated dog menu for your furry friend in case they’re a little bit peckish.
The Corner London City
When exploring the streets of East London, you’re sure to stumble across The Corner, a restaurant fit for Greta Thunberg. These guys have a vast list of plant-based options on the menu, including vegan fish and chips (ideal for British seaside lovers). But they also work on a very sustainable basis by using solar powered energy, internal water filters and waste reductions systems. Perfect for those wanting to save the planet, one portion of fish and chips (vg) at a time.
