London vegan news, reviews & events
Post by:
By now you’ve probably all read about how much FGV enjoyed the Napfényes chain of restaurants when we were in Budapest recently. I wholeheartedly agree that it was probably the tastiest food I’ve been served in Europe. However, I wanted to try some of the other vegan food in Budapest so I dragged a reluctant FGV along to Kozmosz one morning to see if Napfényes could be improved upon…
What’s not to love about Gatorta in Mexico City?
They give you delicious vegan versions of classic Mexican street food and serve it from a pop up stand featuring the cutest cartoon cat I’ve seen in a long while.
Check it out.
Have you made an effort to visit the only 100% vegan pizza restaurant in the UK?
Photos are starting to flow out of Purezza in Brighton and they are making me feel kinda sad that I’m on the other side of the world. I wonder if they deliver to Mexico?
The restaurant offers a huge range of about 20 pizzas and the menu includes such delicacies as four cheese pizza and chocolate calzone.
Keep scrollin’, scrollin’, scrollin’ to see some of the good stuff.
Cardiff. It’s your turn.
When news reached me of a 100% vegan grocery shop in Cardiff, I was ecstatic. The march of plant-based consumerism is fabulous news for our animal friends and compassionate people in Wales can now shop until they drop.
I reached out to Simply V co-founder Spencer to find out a little bit of inside information on his store:
Mexico City is intensely invested in vegan food. It is everywhere.
Street food vendors? Pizza shops? Ice cream parlours? Yes, yes and hell to the yes!
Mexico City has all of this and more. I would even boldly suggest the mega-city is up there with the untouchable plant-based locations of Portland, Austin, Berlin and Los Angeles.
Vegan food is such a serious concern here in Mexico City, you can even shop in a 100% vegan and gluten free bakery.
Check out these photos from my visit to Pan Gabriel in the leafy Condesa neighbourhood.
You all know about Essential Vegan, right?
Essential Vegan is the brainchild of my friend Vanessa Almeida and is home to some of the most delicious recipes on the Internet, which are also some of the simplest to recreate.
Because Vanessa is a perfectionist and believes things can always be better, she has gone and updated her already wonderful website to make it even easier to navigate.
Click here to visit the brand new Essential Vegan website for a stunning range of vegan recipes including the only recipe I have used more than ten times in recent years, Vanessa’s homemade seitan.
Vanessa also blogs about vegan products she has tried and you can find info on where to buy her delicious cakes in person.
Yay for Essential Vegan!
Burger by Essential Vegan
This is the first time in all of my years as a professional overeater that I have seen the following.
What is the point in packaging two clearly-labelled-as-vegan products in the same box as a non-vegan product? Check this out.
As a vegan with a predilection for grocery shopping, I was totally in my element during a visit to Costco in Mexico City today.
Scroll down for photographic proof that I was almost overwhelmed by vegan choices in the mammoth Polanco branch of the retail behemoth.
I tried Vegan Egg by Follow Your Heart for the first time.
Check it out.
My first time using #VeganEgg by @FollowYourHeart. Have you tired this product? #veganpic.twitter.com/Kk2utMlX2f

What do you think?
It is launching in the UK later in 2016 and is already widely available in North America.
Here it is, people.
It is time once again for one of my infamous FGV sweeping statements.
The following photos detail the best vegan food in Europe. Yes, that’s correct. The BEST vegan food in Europe.
Hold on tight.
