If you’re a vegan looking for a casual, quick bite to eat in London, you can’t go wrong with By Chloe. The New York City restaurant chain now has four branches in London and offers a range of tasty eat-in or takeaway options, from quinoa tacos to plant-based burgers, vegan mac and cheese, sandwiches and an array of freshly-baked cakes.
About By Chloe
Founded by American vegan chef Chloe Coscarelli, the first By Chloe restaurant was launched in New York City’s West Village in 2015. The theme was fast-casual dining with a limited By Chloe menu of vegan dishes served in light, bright spaces including healthy options as well as indulgent burgers, cookies, cakes and ice cream.
Since then, the restaurant has morphed into a chain, with 15 eateries in North America based in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Toronto and Rhode Island. In 2018, the first Eat by Chloe London restaurant was opened in Covent Garden and subsequent branches have launched in Tower Bridge, Oxford Circus and the O2. The restaurant has a pay-at-the-counter model and tables for eating in, as well as a fridge with quick grab-and-go options.

What I love about the By Chloe restaurant London
If you’re busy out and about in London or are on a lunch break, By Chloe is a fast and convenient place to grab some tasty vegan food. I’ve visited the Covent Garden By Chloe restaurant several times and it’s bright and inviting, with plenty of room to sit and eat and a large fridge filled with items you can pick-up and run with.
The food is no-nonsense and tasty, I loved the tofish which had a really crispy batter and the mac n cheese was decent but could have been saucier. Fries were the perfect accompaniment and there’s a dispenser with a range of sauces, from ketchup to mayo and aioli. The free water dispenser is also really convenient and cakes are freshly baked.
