PALM GREENS (LONDON)
This was my first time visiting a food hall. Slightly different than a food court in that it’s sit down table service but there are a range of food shops around. I had come across Palm Greens via Happy Cow while I was out and about near Tottenham Court Road. The staff were super helpful and explained how the whole place looked when I clearly looked slightly confused about what I was doing. I ended up at a table and ordered myself the Mexican Tostada Bowl.
I loved it. It was packed full of flavour and had great textures. Nice crunch, bit of heat, and lots of greens. Tasty and satisfying, just how I like my meals.
GOVINDA’S (LONDON)
So I was back out at Tott-Court Road to catch up with Annabel. She recommended we meet for a feed here at I am so glad that she did! An Indian Thali buffet joint where you can pick your plate and it’s so reasonably priced. If you’re looking for a decent feed and good value, I highly recommend. This is definitely going to be a return to venue for me.
The staff were lovely and there are heaps of vegan choices. It started getting pretty busy by the time we were finishing up, and I now know why. I would probs suggest trying to get there during off peak times, I am glad we met up for an early feed.
222 VEGAN (LONDON)
After checking into my new accommodation in London I headed out to find a bit to eat. 222 Vegan was close by so I decided to check it out. The woman waiting was super helpful and let me know that I could find some specials listed on their Instagram that weren’t on the menu. I ended up opting for one of the specials as it looked so good. I was not disappointed.
The potatoes were delicious and that slice was more-ish. It was a decent sized meal and nicely balanced.
FARMACY (LONDON)
I was just feeling like something light for lunch especially when I found myself in fancy Farmacy. There is plenty of seating here, and it has some bougie-esque vibes to the place. The staff were lovely and the Super Green soup was lovely. I really enjoyed it and was just after a light lunch after visiting the Museum of Brands. I wasn’t overly excited by the menu and would probably choose trying somewhere else or going to Govinda’s again instead of rushing back here.
MALLOW (LONDON)
Today was certainly the day for me eating at fancier restaurants. First Farmacy and now Mallow. I didn’t have much time before seeing A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Globe, but thought I should eat something before going in. I found Mallow on the GMaps and made my way there for a quick bits. I opted for their pea and mint tortellini. It had incredible flavours. It might have been 3 pieces and cost me $20AUD but sure was nice! This is another one of those places where I would come and eat more when I had more time and money. For sitting up at the bar alone and a quick light bite before seeing a show, it was good.
VEGGIE JIMMY (LONDON)
It was my laundry washing day and it seemed like a good idea to check out this place which was near where I was staying. This was the only thing I had to eat for the day as it was so filling. I probably didn’t need the chips, but I wanted them and was glad I managed to fit them in somewhere. The plate was great, good combo of textures and flavours.
I probably appreciated a bit more too as what was on this plate was more than I ate the day before and cost me less. Sure it wasn’t as fancy a restaurant, but it fit my budget and vibes for the day.
JAH JAH (RAMSGATE)
Once I checked in to my accommodation it was time for a get our and explore a bit. I was hungry so stopped for an early dinner at Jah Jah’s. There wasn’t anyone dining in the place yet and there was a new waitress getting trained up. I was quite happy to be a learning how to take orders customer for her. i decided to give their curry a go,
It was pretty filling and while it’s not overly spicy or anything it certainly had some good flavour. The venue itself is pretty cute and there is a good vibe to the joint. A couple came in while I was eating as well as take away orders were going out, so I expect that it gets a bit busier later on.
UNION YOGA & CAFE (RAMSGATE)
I walked here the night before so flagged it for somewhere to come and grab a bite from. The venue has a yoga studio attached at the back and there is a really nice vibe in the place. It’s bright and full of light. The staff were lovely and I ordered the yellow split pea dahl. It was super super yummy. Delicious and it had lots of flavour. It was a really lovely lunch.
LASIX (CANTERBURY)
I ended up popping in here while I was out exploring Canterbury for the day. I had planned on going to a recommended place on Happy Cow but it was chockers. Late lunch tourists were out in full swing today. I walked past here and noticed on their menu they had a smashed avo and I was down with that for a lunch.
The coffee was decent, the staff friendly, and the avo was good.
SHAKEY SHAKEY FISH BAR (RAMSGATE)
So this fish and chip shop is owned by some sisters and one of them I believe is a vegan. So this is apparently the first chippie in the UK to have a full vegan menu. They use separate fryers, etc and of course I just ordered chips. Even though there are more things I just don’t do fake meat and I really don’t want to eat something fish like.
Anyway, I picked up the chips after visiting the museums and then walked for a bit so, excuse the photo, but they were good chips. Luckily also that the only change I had was the exact amount I needed to order them. It was fate that I gave these a go. It was pretty nice to be sitting down, chilling out, and eating some good chippy chips!
Now I am writing this I should of checked if there were potato cakes as it’s been years since I ate one… Not that I had the cash on me for it anyway.
