Bustling pub where you’d catch a glimpse of Alexa Chung or the chap from Arctic Monkeys. Cozy in winter and perfectly placed for post flower-market pint & plate. Mushroom gnocchi is small but sublime.
Feels like a mediæval thieves guild with a massive selection of real beers. The goat’s cheese, caramelised onion and white truffle oil pizza is one to rival the best Pizza East offers.
If the goat’s cheese, fig and fried kale tart appears on the menu, grab it and never look back. A vegetarian pub option that outshines every meat item on the menu. Bliss.
Great for “real” Chinese food in the Sichuanese style. Vegetarians ask for mapo tofu or sea-spiced (yu-shiang) aubergine but be sure to ask for them without meat. Give the cloud ear fungus a try too!
Easily the best udon soup in any E-prefixed postcode. Vegetable gyoza, veggies and egg with juicy, fat noodles although strict vegetarians beware, the stock is fish stock. Veg sushi box is a bargain.
Great pop-up burger joint famous for their actor monikered burgers. Vegetarians don't despair, the “Eastwood” veg burger is one of the best there. Get a side of beetroot onion rings with wasabi mayo.
An odd mélange of a place which doesn't quite feel like a pub or restaurant but with a fantastic wine list and well-prepared vegetarian fare. The mushroom gnocchi had on the day was faultless.
No east London food guide is complete without Vietnamese and for vegetarians Cây Tre is up there. Mushroom pho is a good alternative to the meat fave and their unique veg spring rolls are delicious.
A Shoreditch staple, avoid queues by visiting either side of the lunch hour. The Veg Special—a Spanish tortilla in a bap—with an extra smattering of mayo and Tabasco is a quick and dirty lunch treat.
Quaint little café situated on the lake with a great range of vegetarian fare. The chanterelles on sour dough with egg and thyme are a great alternative to the Full English, and they do proper beans!
Sweet little breakfast place which does a great fresh fruity breakfasts, but the vegetarian of the full Georgian is a standout with its spiced egg, snazzy beans and veg sausage.
Don't usually like gnocchi but heaven strike me with a stick if I didn't get served the best goddamn gnocchi just now. It was their only vegetarian option but if it wasn't I never would have tried it!
Sweet little café on the soon-to-be rejuvenated Morning Lane. Menu doesn't rotate so often but the Moroccan eggs is a great veg breakfast option although the strong cumin might not be for every one.
The veggie burger was immense. Condensed butternut squash and lentils, perfect winter warmer! And only a fiver! BOOM!
Great little by-the-slice pizzas place that gives Pizza East a run for its money. Vegetarians spoilt for choice—can't go past the potato and black truffle pizza.
