    Eating My Way Through London: Kalifornia Kitchen

    Kalifornia Kitchen is a new (ish) plant-based restaurant in central London. The all-day cafe-cum- restaurant serves a menu of healthy dishes to be eaten in or taken out. It’s motto is “Healthy is sexy” and it is free from animal products and single use plastic. Be warned if you visit Kalifornia Kitchen- everything is pink. Whether this is an attempt to make it more appealing to the Instagram crowd, or to get visitors dreaming of California, it gives the restaurant a fun vibe. Not basic in any way :P. After a recommendation from a colleague, I made a visit with my vegan friend Christina, as we were both keen to…

    Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life

    It has been all about the vegan food for me recently. I’m an omnivore but have a soft spot for vegan food. For this reason I found myself drawn to vegan fare- I often say that I prefer vegan burgers to meat ones. I recently visited StrEATfeast at Alexander Palace, where there was a wide selection of foods to choose from.

This was super gorgeous. I think Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life has got itself…

Also- our tour guide was vegan as was my friend, so a lot of the food we sampled was either vegan or had a vegan alternative. West Street Kitchen A good place to start the tour, we enjoyed coffee and these super- cute cakes. Glitch Glitch is a hairdresser’s, but in true hipster style, they offer a nice line in rustic pizza. I really couldn’t get…

    Vantra Vitro

    Vantra Vitro is a small restaurant nestled along Oxford Street in London,  specialising in healthy food.  Everything is vegan which is why a group of us ended up there for my vegan friend Anna’ s birthday last weekend. The restaurant doesn’t sell alcohol so I drank Elderflower water instead (somebody tried the Mangoade). The food was in a buffet style,  so you help yourself and then the plate gets weighed.  You pay for how much is on your plate. There was a choice ranging from Thai curry to steamed broccoli and strogonoff.  I really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend Vantro Vitro if you’d like to try something healthier. …
