ad This is London’s first and only vegan & gluten-free Italian restaurant 🇮🇹
I genuinely think you could take anyone to @plant_clubuk and they wouldn’t miss the meat, cheese or gluten.
The food is indulgent but doesn’t leave you feeling heavy and they provide a nice mix of well-known Italian dishes and more traditional Italian dishes you may not have heard of before.
They’ve just launched a new Veganuary menu (available from 12th Jan) so as well as their OG items such as gnocchi cacio e pepe, burrata and tiramisu, they have added the following items to their menu:
🍕 Sausage and friarelli pizza – smoked mozzarella, Italian vegan sausage, friarielli, tomato san Marzano 💰 £17
🍕 Calzone – escarole sauté , raisin , walnuts, taggiasche olives, smoked ricotta, capers , sundry tomato 💰 £17.50
🥬 Drunk radicchio – radicchio tardivo, cooked in Chianti red wine, veganzola, parnisp chips 💰 £13
🍝 Mezze maniche, cavolo nero, almond ricotta, sweet chilli powder, smoked almond 💰 £16.5
🥦 Spicy cime di rapa – sauté cime di rapa, pomodoro San Marzano, Sicilian capers, Korean chillie flakes 💰£11
🧀 Baked shamenbert 💰 £12
💭 I really like this spot. It’s still baffling to me that it’s so hard to get decent vegan Italian food in London. Last time I visited, I preferred the pasta but this time the pizza and the calzone just edged it. I like that the new menu mixes in some more traditional dishes and more vegetables. I also found it really interesting to learn that the team focus on making sure each dish has a balance of macronutrients as well as fibre for digestion time and food absorption.
