Tofu Vegan, which operates several branches in London, is in with a chance of winning the £100,000 investment prize money. The hugely popular restaurant features dishes like Sliced “Fish” in Sizzling Chili Oil, Peking “Duck,” and a number of vegan meat and mushroom dishes. Another plant-based restaurant, Halo Burger, is also on the list. Halo Burger can also be found in a number of areas in London, and it specializes in vegan burgers, fries, and other fast food.

Vegan restaurants in London

Tofu Vegan and Halo Burger are two of many meat-free restaurants in London, which has consistently topped lists of most plant-based cities.

There are around 400 vegan restaurants in the English capital city, catering to a wide range of dietary requirements and preferences. Vegan app Happy Cow has named London as its most vegan-friendly city in the world multiple times, with a spokesperson previously describing the city as “a global frontrunner in vegan consciousness and the diversity of plant-based offerings.”

Veganism is growing in popularity throughout the UK. A study published in January of this year found that the number of vegans had increased by more than a million over the course of a year.

Tofu Vegan can be found in Golders Green, Spitalfields, Islington, and Tottenham Court Road. Halo Burger branches are located in Brixton, Hackney Bridge, and London Bridge (for delivery only).
