Please help with London restaurant recommendations

[Crispyduckandpancakes]

I am taking a good friend out for lunch in a few weeks to celebrate her 50th birthday. I would be really grateful for some suggestions for London restaurants with decent vegetarian options. Thank you!

Anybody? Pretty please.

Delaunay!

Try six by nico - they do a 6 course tasting menu that they change every 6 weeks with a vegetarian menu too.

London is enormous. Whereabouts? Budget? Vibe?

Circolo Poplaire

Rules.
Hawksmore.

The (proper) Ivy.
Pollan St Social
Rules

There's around 15,500 restaurants in London, could you help narrow it down by giving a location, price range etc.?

Happy to give recommendations but would need to know a price range including tip and other factors such as location preferences etc.

Thanks everyone.

I am ideally looking for central, say Covent Garden, Soho, Fitzrovia etc. Somewhere with a good vibe, not a chain, a bit special, but not OTT. I am looking to spend up to £100 per head, including wine. The original Ivy is definitely on the shortlist, but I was wondering if you MN gourmets had any other suggestions.

I looked at Rules, but it already seems to be virtually completely booked up! Also, they don't publish the vegetarian menu, although I am assuming it is good!

I like all cuisines but my friend is vegetarian. I don't want to go to a wholly vegetarian restaurant.

I wouldn't choose Rules for a vegetarian friend!

My sister (London, proper foodie) would probably say Barrafina.

I agree that the Rules main menu looks like a feast for carnivores, but am assuming that the vegetarian menu is good, as several posters have recommended it. I like Barrafina, but I have only visited the Kings Cross one, which has good food, but a bit of a chain vibe, if that makes sense.

Gunpowder (fab Indian- lots of vegetarian options) has just opened a branch in Soho

Dishoom and Bocco di Lupa are both great

Great thanks. My friend is Indian and I know she likes Dishoom (as do I!). Gunpowder also sounds interesting although I am having difficulty in finding a menu on their website!

Cinnamon Club is nice

Try The Gate or Gauthier for incredible veg/ vegan options.

Ottolenghi Nopi. Fab vegetarian and good meat selection.

Quaglino’s in Mayfair is fab, fantastic service and the food is great. I’ve always had a lovely time when I’ve been.

We went to the Duck & Rice in Soho, this weekend for a big birthday bash...its a fantastic restaurant with a brilliant atmosphere. Some of the best Chinese food I've had . Not posh but we loved it

Ok this is nowhere near as fancy as some of the other suggestions, but the inside is way nicer than the picture would suggest, the service from the owner is excellent and the food is amazing- loads of choice for a vegetarian as well chamisse.com/. It's in Bloomsbury I think.

I'm in holiday in London and we went for lunch yesterday to Skylon which is an expensive upmarket restaurant at the South Bank and it was nowhere near as good as Chamisse had been the day before.

Thank you so much, I will check these out!
