RESTAURANTS
London is one of the best cities for vegetarians. Almost every restaurant offers meat-free options and there are more and more exclusively vegan/vegetarian places to eat. Unfortunately, because of Covid-19, we were not able to go out and enjoy a meatless meal at any of these... However, we managed to make a selection of deliciously-looking places in London and Paris that we hope to discover in person as soon as possible.
UNITY DINER
Featured in Vogue Best Vegan Restaurants in London, Unity Diner was founded in 2018 by a group of friends with the aim of making a positive difference for animals and the Earth. They use 100% biodegradable and plastic-free straws, containers and cups, the staff uniforms are made of 100% organic cotton and vegan ink, and their payment system is paperless. Any suitable food waste is donated to animals who have been rescued from slaughter. And last but not least, they provide incredible vegan food!

THE VURGER CO.
Founded back in 2016, The Vurger Co. aims at revolutionizing fast food through the power of plants, while remaining highly sustainable. Their packaging is made from plants and fully compostable, and they are 100% cashless. In 2019 alone, they saved the equivalent of 15 tons of beef, 500 000 grams of CO2 and 140 million litres of water through their vegan burger sales!

FARMACY
Farmacy is known for its delicious plant-based dishes. They support local, organic and biodynamic farming, a sustainable approach to agriculture that respects nature. Their fruits, vegetables and herbs are grown on a farm in the Kent countryside, and are delivered weekly by an electric van. They serve beautifully made meals with the belief that "food is medicine".

ABATTOIR VÉGÉTAL
Ironically, Abattoir Végétal used to be a butcher and is now a vegan bistro. They use seasonal and organic fruits and vegetables, and none of the food they serve is processed. They try to keep their products as local as possible and minimise their waste, even if it means they run out of menu items at the end of the day. Colorful and flavorful food is guaranteed here!

LE POTAGER DE CHARLOTTE
Le Potager de Charlotte's mission is to restore the image of plant-based cooking. Run by two brothers, this restaurant supports the French market with local and organic products. It respects animals, protects the environment and promotes a healthy lifestyle. The chef's recipes are 100% homemade and vary from season to season, while maintaining a mix of delicious flavors.
