Do you all know that my husband is not from London?
Gil moved with me to the UK during COVID times and after a brief stint in Sheffield (huge culture shock to go from Mexico City to South Yorkshire in a lockdown!), we moved to London together.
During the past 4 years, I’ve been busy dragging him along to all of the vegan and plant-based establishments the city has to offer and today I’ve asked him to share his top spots with you.
If you wanna know what made his list, keep reading below.

Now, Gil being my husband isn’t the only reason why you might pay attention to his opinion.
He is also a journalist and editor who worked for Time Out Mexico for over 10 years. During that time he was called upon to write a lot of restaurant reviews and considers himself a bit of a foodie.
My husband’s current Top 5 vegan spots in London
- Tofu Vegan – Gil loves that it’s properly spicy food that is great for sharing
- Dauns – mouthwatering Scandi-inspired cuisine. Gil mentioned the tasty coffee and bakery options
- Sen Viet Vegan – holds a special place because of the delicious food AND we once had our anniversary dinner here. Gil always order spicy ramen and sticky rice
- Essential Vegan – Brazilian inspired comfort food
- Third Culture Deli – Gil loves the handcrafted sandwiches and says it is one of the best coffees in London
Gil also asked me to include an extra 5 spots that ALMOST made the list. Check them out below:
