Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Thorne Savarin
By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

London's vegan restaurants have grown well past salad bowls and into full Chinese, Caribbean and Mexican menus that happen to be entirely plant-based. The kitchens on this page have logged over 25,000 Google reviews between them, and every one holds a rating of 4.8 or higher, so the real decision is what cuisine you're craving, not whether the food will be any good.

Short answer: The most-reviewed vegan restaurant in London is Mildreds Covent Garden (4.8 stars across 6,757 Google reviews). Meat The Vegans in Camden holds the highest rating on the list at 4.9, spanning five different plant-based kitchens under one roof, with Mallow near Borough Market and KIN Cafe in Fitzrovia also standing out. Expect to pay roughly £20 to £60 per person depending on where you eat.

Watch: 5 Best Vegan Restaurants in London (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many diners have rated it, ranked against other London vegan restaurants. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from thousands of diners carries more weight than a similar score from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a meal cost at a vegan restaurant in London? (2026)

Prices vary by restaurant and meal type, but reviewers on Google consistently report their per-person spend, giving a real, sourced range for what to expect.

JobTypical price
Lunch or casual meal, per person£20 - £30
Dinner, per person£30 - £50
Dinner with drinks or a tasting-style menu, per person£50 - £70

Ranges compiled August 2026 from per-person price ranges reported directly in diners’ Google reviews for the restaurants on this page. Actual prices vary by dish selection and drinks, so check each restaurant’s current menu before you go.

What to ask before booking a vegan restaurant in London

  • Do you take reservations, or is it walk-in only during peak hours?
  • Is the entire menu vegan, or a vegan section within a wider menu?
  • Can you accommodate other allergies alongside a vegan diet, like gluten or nuts?
  • Do you offer a set pre-theatre or lunch menu at a lower price?
  • Is there step-free access or outdoor seating if that matters to your group?
  • Do you cater for large groups or private dining?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these restaurants?

We started from vegan and plant-based restaurants in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Are these restaurants 100% vegan, or vegan-friendly?

Every restaurant on this page runs a fully plant-based menu, not just vegan-friendly options within a wider menu. Several, like Mildreds and Meat The Vegans, are popular with non-vegan diners too, according to reviewers.

How much does a meal cost at a vegan restaurant in London?

Based on diners’ own reported spend, expect roughly £20 to £30 per person for a casual lunch and £30 to £70 for dinner, depending on the restaurant and how many courses or drinks you order.

The bottom line

Mildreds Covent Garden is the safe default given its review volume and central, pre-theatre-friendly location, while Meat The Vegans is the top pick if you want the widest variety of cuisines in one visit. Whichever you choose, book ahead for dinner, especially on weekends.
