This is Hare Krishna restaurant. Very well cooked and varied menus on the daily basis. The best Indian veggie dishes around. Open Mon-Fri from 11am to 7pm.and Saturday until ?? Krishna's people are not preaching to the guests.

A peaceful haven. 100% animal product free. Peace while you eat. We discovered Country Life while vacationing in England from Memphis.

I love this restaurant. It is just around the corner from me, and I am in there all the time. I know that it is really good as it featured in Sliding Doors. Very relaxed atmosphere, wonderful friendly staff, and very reasonably priced for the huge dishes that they serve. They do the best mushroom salad, and a special sweet potato and pumpkin bake, mmmmm. It think that this place is a real hidden treasure.

I'm not familiar enough with vegetarian cuisine to tell you whether the restaurant is fully vegan or organic, but I can tell you the food is great! I'd never had a veggie burger, but I'm so glad my first was at Mildred's. In fact, I've been craving one of them as of late because they were so moist, flavorful, well seasoned and served with delicious relishes. There was no attempt to make them taste like meat or meat substitute. Their recipes just let the vegetables and grains be their flavorful selves. My favorite was the one made with sweet potato. The stews and deserts were just as wonderful. As for the atmosphere, the place is small but the staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable for such delicious, filling fare.

Set on a stucco side street of fashionable village like Primrose Hill, Manna has a large pleasant dining room divided from a lovely conservatory front by etched glass windows. Candles and fresh flowers on the wooden tables along plus the unusual wall lights specially made from glass bricks give the restaurant a real sparkle. It serves an delicious fusion of many different cusines with delicious dishes from Indonisia, Mexico, Japan, Spain, England, France and many more. A three course meal costs about £20.

A smart restaurant, set in the roof of a church, The Gate promises much, and if you pick the right meal is fabulous. Some of their creations are, however, a little ambitious! Vegetarian wine selection.

I Love it ... from the crayons you can use to draw on the table cloths to the simple decor and especially to the food, Blah Blah Blah is fantastic. Bring your own wine to have with dinner and then nip over to the Bushranger Pub opposite for after dinner drinks in their late license upstairs bar.... you will be hard pressed to find a better meal in West London - make sure you book for dinner & if they are full The Gate is our other fave in this part of town.

My favourite restaurant in London. Blah Blah Blah has atmosphere, laid-back attitude and a brilliant menu. Gourmet international vegetarian food for about £8 a dish. It's BYO too so you don't pay a premium on wine.
