Another London trip filled with food

I posted about Pret a Manger in my last London post but I ended up here again a couple times. The superfoods salad is always there and labelled vegan! Since there are Prets nearly on every street, it's handy to know you can eat something there.
I couldn't not go back to The Whole Foods Market on Kensington High street. I got lots of tasty treats. Slices of cake from Sprial veggie restaurant in Camden and MARSHMALLOWS!,
This was peanut butter cream tart. So yum!
And Carrot Cake. This was hands down some of the best carrot cake I've ever had. Tastes so good even without the cream cheese. I have been a bit weary about silken tofu, but it tastes great!
All the different flavour marshmallows available! Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Banana. I got Vanilla and Chocolate and of course they tasted great.
All the fancy vegan chocolates.

I finally came across a orange Fry's bar. I can never find them in Dublin.

Now, who would associate food poisoning with a vegetarian restaurant...? My Mum and I ate here, My Village Cafe in Camden. It's a falafel type restaurant. It was extremely tasty and they did amazing fresh juices. I got the falafel plate. And my Mum got the same but with yoghurt and Halloumi. Bad mistake. My Mum woke up that night at around 2.30am very the worst food poisoning. She was so sick. It was non stop until about 11am. And it's not possible it was from anywhere else. As we had breakfast very early and only had a banana and some carrots and hummus in the afternoon.


Breakfast in Giraffe Cafe on Kensington High Street. And they had a veggie breakfast and it was great! There was vegi sausages, Baked Mushrooms, Avocado, beans and toast.
Mildred s Vegetarian Restaurant. This was a good experience. It was good to be in proper sort of restaurant that served vegetarian and vegan food. I would recommend Mildreds. It's very central in Soho, just around the corner from Carnaby Street and Oxford Street.

I got the Vegi Burger and Sweet Potato Chips. This was AMAZING. It was the best burger I've ever had. I didn't want it to end.


And rhubard and apple crumble with vegan custard for dessert. It was really really good too. I was stuffed after the burger but when vegan desserts are available, you can't say no.

London Trip and Vegan findings

I went to London for a couple days and 1 night this week. I was really excited about all the vegan restaurants in London. We were stuck for time and only made it to one though.

We came across The Whole Foods Market on Kensington High street. It was huge inside and we had a quick look. It was so exciting when I found a load of vegan baked goods and food in general. There was so much! I picked up 3 cupcakes made by Cat and the Cream. They came in little containers so I could bring them home. They were a bit pricey but when do I ever come across this! They got a bit bashed around so excuse the messy pictures.


There are Pret A Mangers everywhere in London. They are great for vegans too. They always have a vegan salad and soup. The items are labelled Vegan too. They are accommodate for vegis too really well. So many options. Last time in London we fell in love with the sweet potato and feta hot wrap.


So the vegi restaurant we made it to was Beatroot on Berwick street in Soho just off Oxford Street. Nice and Central. I really enioyed it here. You got loads for your money, so many vegan options and friendly staff. You pay 6.60 pounds for the big box and it's filled up. They really pilled it up and you got your moneys worth. They had little sausage rolls which tasted unreal. I wish I got more. There was butternut squash curry, lasagne and loads of salad.

I also got a blueberry muffin which was lovely. I could only eat half and I had the rest for breakfast.
