Vegan paradise! - Edit
Everything about our experience was brilliant from the moment we walked in the door. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout, our burgers were delicious (I had the gluten-free bun) and the loaded cheesy fries were honestly the DREAMIEST! I've been longing for more of them ever since we left ..! Kudos to the incredible chefs.
Read moreWe had the 'I love Ewe' cocktail and the 'Piers Morgan's tears' cocktail (a must!). Both were great!
They even brought out a birthday brownie for my friend's 40th birthday weekend... such a lovely touch! On top of everything the vibe of the restaurant is effortlessly cool and just a lovely place to be.
Special thanks to all the hard-working staff there! Also thanks to the legend that is Ed Winters.

Best fake fish and chips ever - Edit
We had a great time. Food came quick, bacon with sauerkraut was tasty, and the fish and chips were awesome. I will again meet this place. It was great.

Unity Diner x La Vie Event - Edit
We attended the Unity Diner & La Vie collab event and had a wonderful time !
Read moreThe food was amazing, the atmosphere was great and the food was insane.
Starters: Vegan Cheesy Bacon Fries
Main: Vegan Bacon Cheese Burger
Dessert: Bacon Waffle
Drinks: Piers Morgan’s Tears & Vegan Espresso Martini
Some of these dishes I believe are limited edition but I believe they have the burger on the menu. I probably had the best burger I have ever had in my entire life. The garlic sauce, the patty, the shiny bun.. everything about it was perfect.
Unity diner has amazing meals and I highly recommend it !!
Pros: THE FOOD, Atmosphere , Friendly Staff !
Cons: Limited seats 😖

Friendly Service and Delicious Food - Edit
Staff was super friendly, food was really good and there are a lot options. This place is an obvious choice for vegetarians and vegans in London. While I only tried a non-alcoholic drink (which was delicious), they also serve drinks with alcohol.

Second time there and we regret it - Edit
Food was just not tasty. Rip off for the price. Last time we had the tofish and chips which was great but this time wanted to try something different and it was not good. Staff were friendly when they actually spoke to you. However, most of the time the staff was never to be seen and so casual about their role, they might as well been comatose. It felt like they didn’t care if you were there or not. We always want to support good causes and this place is a way to support the cause. But we should get value for money and at least service that makes you feel welcome. Very sad to say, I don’t think we will return. By the way watch out for the 12% service fee.

Amazing plant-based food! - Edit
A really great selection of food, I had a VFC Chicken burger and it was INCREDIBLE! Literally one of the nicest burgers I’ve ever had. I took my non vegan friend, and she had the same, and agreed that it was amazing.
Read moreWas lovely to have a selection of deserts to choose from as well, and great cocktails! Personal favourite is “Piers Morgan’s Tears” 😂
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because it was sooo busy and loud (probably because the food is so good) and we were rushed from our table as they needed it for another booking - but if that’s not a sign of a good, in demand restaurant, then what is!
Pros: Amazing food, Good selection of deserts & drinks, Good location
Cons: Very busy

Deserves 10 stars - if you go to only one vegan place, come here - Edit
We tried the 3D printed steak yesterday and omg it’s literally the best vegan meat we ate. It’s taste explosion in your mouth, very very tasty and 100% worth the price. The portions are very generous unlike so many restaurants now. Nice atmosphere, I can’t wait until I can come back 😍😍😍 thanks so much to all the staff for making this happen.

Just junk food - Edit
All the dishes are junk food.
Read moreThe portions are too big and expensive. They should make the portions smaller and lower the prices. The amount of food they waste must be astonishing :(
The description boast a huge dessert section but they only have 4 options.
The tables are close together. So not the cosiest environment. Kind of felt like you should eat fast and make room for the next customers.
Pros: Fully vegan
Cons: Portions too big, food goes to waste, Unhealthy

Great food but check the opening hours - Edit
Love the food and drinks. But I’ve tried to go a couple of times at lunch and the opening hours are not accurate. Check before travelling if you can.

Mon 1er fish and ships vegan - Edit
L'accueil était top, malgré mon niveau médiocre en anglais les serveurs font des efforts pour nous comprendre. Je trouvais les cocktails chers mais en comparant à d'autres lieux je regrette de ne pas avoir testé car ils ont l'air top! Je valide bien sûr mon plat qui était le tofish, je suis venu exprès, un peu cher au premier avis mais bien copieux !

Favourite vegan restaurant in London! - Edit
The food is delicious, and some of my favourites include: tofish and chips and sirloin steak (3D printed, redefined meat). Many desserts to choose from, try the ice cream waffles!

The cake… - Edit
If I could do it all over again, I would just order the salted caramel cake. Tonight we ordered a kale Caesar salad, the bbq pork belly and calamari. Everything was well balanced, well seasoned, and excellent portion sizes. The service was just okay. The tables are situated very close to each other so it’s difficult to have any real privacy during your meal.

Awesome mission - Edit
Fourth time lucky getting to this place and wanted to love it but I chose the wrong dish.
Read moreLooks funky. Lovely servers. Was very excited to try something epic.
My Sis had the Tofish. Was good except for the tartar sauce which didn't taste of much but overall 8/10.
I love mac and cheese so tried the lobster mac. First bite was okay. Not very cheesy and the 'lobster' was that frozen 'prawn' stuff you get in Sainsbury's. The whole bowl was the same taste. 6/10?
Pros: All vegan, Mocktails
Cons: Could have some more low alcohol beer selection., Mocktails £8.50

Non-profit v junk food - Edit
I love this place for that it is non-profit and funds Surge Sanctuary, which makes every penny worth it for me. A good sized menu with lots of replica options you might be missing as a vegan. While the food (apart from the fish) I don’t think is AS good as some other popular vegan junk places, the vibe and the cocktails make up for this. The Seaspiracy cocktail is my favourite! Oh and they make their own bacon which is delicious.

Not worth the hype & the money - Edit
Very disappointing experience. I booked a table days before I went on this trip to London because I was so excited to dine here, as it is very hyped and highly praised in the vegan world. I must admit, the atmosphere and decoration is lovely and the staff in is super friendly.
Read moreHowever, we were highly underwhelmed by the food and cocktails and had to wait very long for our food. As a starter, my friend ordered the smoked salmon, which was garnished very poorly. It came on a blank white plate with loads of scratches. Dunno, why they didn't place the salmon on a lettuce leaf or maybe on a black slate style plate. The taste was alright.
As main course, my friend opted for the gluten free version of the Cesar Salad and didn't like it too much (for me, it was fine. It came with tempeh instead of the chicken to make it gluten free). I chose the fillet mignon with the peppercorn sauce, which was garnished very nicely. However, it was nothing special, quite boring. The steak a.k.a. filet tasted just like the ones from Green Mountain or the Aldi brand. The bacon also tasted like the one you can buy at any supermarket. The sauce was really good, the greens were perfectly steamed but boring.
Another issue we had was the sea shepherd cocktail. It was extremely sweet to the extent that we tried to dilute it with water which didn't work. We had to ask for another cocktail and weren't charged for it, but we were surprised that the staff member had no idea how this cocktail was supposed to taste like and if it was a mistake or just the recipe (also didn't offer to go ask at the bar).
We didn't keep an eye on the time, so we didn't notice we stayed until they closed. We did not get a heads up for the last order, instead the bill was put on our table without any word from the staff member.
The food was good and we had a nice evening but there are so many outstanding vegan restaurants in London so that I would not recommend this rather pricey place to any of my friends.
Pros: Nice atmosphere & decoration, Friendly staff, 100% vegan
Cons: Nothing special , Long waiting times, Over-hyped
