Soho is one of London\u2019s most vibrant areas, a hive of bars, restaurants and theatres. The area is also home to some amazing vegan eateries, whether you\u2019re after Mexican, doughnuts, Indian or healthy plant-based buffets. Scope out the best spots in this vegan Soho guide.<\/p>\n

Vegan places in Soho that are temporarily closed<\/h2>\n

Sadly, some vegan places in Soho are currently closed due to Covid, these include vegan dessert icon Yorica!<\/a> (although you can still buy their ice cream online) and Indian staple Govinda\u2019s<\/a>. Norman\u2019s Coach and Horses<\/a>, a pub with lots of vegan dishes including tofish and chips, is under refurb and only serving bar snacks. Leggero<\/a>, a gluten-free and vegan-friendly pasta restaurant is due to reopen on the 6th March 2021.<\/p>\n

Club Mexicana is one of the newest vegan restaurants in Soho, freshly opened in 2020. The company has, however, been operating at pop-up events and in Covent Garden\u2019s Seven Dials Market for a few years now, serving its popular Mexican vegan street food. The new Soho branch in Kingly Court is the brand\u2019s first permanent restaurant and it certainly makes a statement with its bright pink d\u00e9cor and open-air courtyard with terrace seating.<\/p>\n

\"Tacos<\/p>\n

Sip on a frozen margarita or exotic beer while you feast on nachos with all the trimmings and a variety of tacos, including the BBQ short rib, chick\u2019n and avocado and Baja tofish varieties. Club Mexicana is known for its signature cheeseburger burrito, which costs \u00a38.50 and can be ordered as a bowl if you don\u2019t want the wrap. A range of sides are available too, from fries to black beans and a dark chocolate mousse or raspberry sorbet for dessert.<\/p>\n

Veggie Pret started as an experiment back in 2016 but was so popular that there are now nine branches of the grab-and-go restaurant chain across London. The Soho branch in Broadwick Street has a generous range of plant-based goodies \u2013 not all are vegan but everything is vegetarian. Its vegan bakery items are a favourite and include plain, chocolate almond and berry croissants, as well as muffins, cookies and the vegan hazelnut and caramel brownie.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

If you need to pick something up for lunch, the cold chillers have loads of vegan pre-prepared options, including the eggless mayo and cress baguette, vegan hoisin mushroom wrap and a breakfast VLT. Healthy options such as poke and smoothie bowls are also available at Veggie Pret, as well as some hot dishes like the vegan mac and greens. Hurry though, as the store is only open until 14.30 weekdays at the moment.<\/p>\n

With a Bombay-born owner, Dishoom Carnaby serves up delicious, authentic Indian fare. The restaurant has its own vegan menu and several other branches across London and the UK. The atmospheric eatery is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Start your day with some coconut granola or perhaps the full Vegan Bombay cooked breakfast which features tofu, sausages, black pudding, mushrooms, masala beans and vegan buns. For lunch and dinner, there\u2019s a range of favourites such as samosas as well as the Chole-Chawal, a spiced chickpea curry cooked without butter. Don\u2019t miss the creamy basmati kheer rice pudding for dessert.
