5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in London (2026)

Govinda's has served pure vegetarian, karma-free Indian food from its Soho location since 1979, tracing its roots to the early Hare Krishna movement in Britain, and now also runs a second branch in Holborn. The menu centres on thalis, along with curries, koftas, samosas, and a lasagne reviewers say has been named among London's best. Its site describes itself as a calm retreat in the heart of the West End, closer to a community kitchen than a conventional restaurant.

Mildreds has run its Covent Garden branch as a globally inspired plant-based restaurant a short walk from Leicester Square and Covent Garden underground stations, offering a dedicated pre-theatre menu Sunday through Friday between noon and 7pm. The menu spans small plates built for sharing, including patatas bravas, kimchi gyoza, and a range of vegan burgers, alongside cocktails and fresh juices. It's one of the longer-running names in London's vegan dining scene, with a second London site referenced by reviewers as well.

Meat The Vegans operates out of Camden Stables Market as a collective of five distinct plant-based kitchens under one roof, spanning Pan-Asian, Caribbean, Mexican, Indian, and American-diner style menus, with a second site in Hertford. The format is closer to a food hall than a single restaurant: reviewers order across kitchens in one visit, choosing from Hakka noodles, jerk and curry goat, tacos and quesadillas, tikka masala, or smash burgers depending on their mood.

Mallow runs a fully plant-based restaurant inside Borough Market, describing itself as seasonal, sustainable, and vegan, with a rotating menu built around what's in season. The site notes no step-free access at this location. Reviewers describe a market-menu format of small plates designed for sharing, alongside French toast-led brunch options and a full dinner menu.

Kin Cafe runs a plant-based, health food-leaning menu out of Fitzrovia, covering brunch staples like shakshuka, açaí bowls, and a signature Kin Hash, alongside coffee and wine in the evenings. It sits within the broader Kin London group, which also runs a restaurant and delivery arm. Reviewers describe it as a small, calm space with a larger sister restaurant next door for bigger groups.
