Club Mexicana review – a wretched vegan impersonation of Mexican food
The whitewashing at this Kingly Court restaurant is royally screwed up. Continue reading

Tofu Vegan review – the plant-based Islington restaurant with age-old roots
I come to praise Chinese mock meats, not to bury them Many people are wary and cautious of the new and different, especially food. Acceptance often comes gingerly, with the new arrival initially forced to adopt a more familiar guise. Chinese food in the UK is a case in point. For many decades, it bore … Continue reading
Bubala review – the Middle Eastern vegetarian and vegan restaurant taking Spitalfields by storm
If vegetables are so delicious, then why do so many vegetarian and vegan restaurants insist on making them resemble meat instead? It’s never been easy eating out as a vegetarian in London. Prior to the noughties, your choices were largely divided between Indian restaurants of variable quality and hemp-ridden Mildred’s-type establishments which were almost universally … Continue reading

Henry’s review – cosy vegetarian dining in the back streets of Bath
This review of a Bath restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London coverage While it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever become a vegetarian, I have a great deal of sympathy for people who are and want to eat out. While it’s easy to assume that the recent surge in vegetarianism (and veganism) means … Continue reading
Lalibela review – a taste of Ethiopia in Tufnell Park
Kitsch and kitfo by the kilo* *meat not actually sold by the kilogram. I just like alliteration. Cities and towns across Britain are largely filled with the same ol’ usual suspects when it comes to restaurants – Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and perhaps a French place or a gastropub. London, thankfully, is different with some … Continue reading

Lab-grown meat: a vegetarian’s viewpoint
A new culture of beef eating? Note from The Picky Glutton: this is a guest post from The Flame Haired Squelchie, a trusted dining companion and also a wilting vegetarian oenophile who occasionally acts as my pseudo-romantic interest when we’re checking out restaurants for romantic ambience As a journalist who has abandoned the consumption of … Continue reading

Grain Store review – love at first bite?
This review is in partnership with Match.com. That means they reimbursed me for the cost of the first meal in this review, but apart from asking me to include an evaluation of how romantic this restaurant was, they had no say over the content of this review. Finding a romantic but affordable place to have … Continue reading

The Coach and Horses review – London’s first vegetarian pub
Vege-might or vege-lite? I’m not a vegetarian, but I do like to dabble with vegetarian food. However, my veggie-friendly sentiments aren’t shared by some of my friends and work chums who, at the mere suggestion of eating at a vegetarian restaurant, will inevitably whine and gripe in the most pathetic, close-minded, macho, proletarian way possible. … Continue reading
Food For Friends review – noms best enjoyed with good chums
This review of a Brighton restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage On my last visit to Brighton (or London-on-Sea as some cheekily call it), I ate at Terre a Terre, a vegetarian restaurant, and was far from impressed. On my most recent visit to Brighton I dined at Terre a … Continue reading
