“My find of the year… and I’m not vegetarian/vegan!” – former fashion model and producer Irina Linovich’s two-year-old plant-based debut venture was scheduled to move into new Notting Hill premises in late 2023 from its original perch in a wellness salon near Harrods (and a vintage Airstream caravan by Battersea Power Station). There’s a “really wide choice of imaginative food”, with dishes such as ‘Sexy Tofu’ (eat your heart out, Richard Caring) that “certainly change your perception of vegan living”.

“Every course can be eaten by a gluten-free vegan and yet your everyday carnivore will still enjoy the meal” at this new all-day vegan in a chichi ‘Wellness & Beauty Salon’ near Harrods. It receives nothing but praise: “this is what I call an outstanding vegan: imaginative food presented beautifully and they use NO sugar!”

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
