Our Favourite Veggie Restaurants in Notting Hill

Vegetarian and vegan cooking has come a long way in recent years. No longer are veggie options just a footnote in the average menu, they’re the main attraction in many restaurants.

With more and more people not only interested in vegetarian and vegan foods, but the wider sustainability and health benefits that balanced veggie diets can bring, a plethora of new and exciting eateries with expansive or entirely vegetarian menus are popping up all over the UK.

As with many things, London is a leader in this trend, with its bustling boroughs and distinct districts each boasting unique options. One such area that’s caught our eye is London’s carnival capital; without further ado, here are our favourite veggie restaurants in Notting Hill.

1. Ffiona’s Restaurant – Kensington Church St

Ffiona’s Restaurant is an award-winning eatery that specialises in bringing classic British dishes to life with fresh, modern twists. Ffiona’s is a great spot for casual dining, meetups with friends and chilled dates with its bright, flowery dining area and friendly, attentive staff.

The menu is the real draw, packed with interesting veggie and vegan options that go above and beyond typical fare. Standouts include their hearty Vegan Shepard’s Pie with Canelli Beans and Vegan Mash as well as their Crispy Fried Polenta with Broccoli and Fresh Herbs.

Ffiona’s also makes amazing vegan desserts, including raw vegan chocolate cheesecakes with delicious toppings like cashews and Oreos. Ffiona’s is one of the best-rated Notting Hill Gate restaurants and often fairly busy, so book in advance through OpenTable to get a spot!

2. Holy Carrot – Portobello Road

Holy Carrot is a specialty vegan restaurant nestled in the heart of Notting Hill that boasts a sizable menu of unique vegan and allergen-free dishes. The team at Holy Carrot prides itself on sustainability, mostly sourcing fresh ingredients from small-scale producers and foragers.

Vegan and vegetarian diners have a plethora of options to choose from here, with favourites to look out for including Coal Roasted Leeks with Aji Romesco and Almond, Smoked Carrot with Harissa Butter and their Instagrammable Crispy Pink Fir Potatoes with Garlic Mayo Dip.

Holy Carrot isn’t just a great restaurant, it’s also a fantastic bar, with a wide range of beers, wines and cocktails to enjoy on one of the area’s liveliest and most eclectic streets. You can usually find a smaller table as a walk-in, but big groups should book in advance on their site.

3. The Ladbroke Arms – Ladbroke Road

The Ladbroke Arms isn’t strictly a vegetarian spot, and in fact has fewer veggie dishes than the rest of our choices, but we wanted to add a traditional pub option for vegetarians looking for a lively spot to enjoy with larger groups who may have a mix of dietary wants and needs.

In terms of the menu, veggie diners will be pleased to see interesting options like a Roasted Beetroot and Walnut Tarator salad as well as Baked Potato Gnocchi with Tempura Broccoli, but the top attraction is The Ladbroke Arms’ veggie Roast Wellington, available on Sundays.

As for atmosphere, you’ll find this spot offers everything you’d want and need from a classic British pub, including cosy booths, a big bar and a lovely outdoor area. Sundays can be very busy here, so if their roasts sound right up your street, book in advance through OpenTable.

4. atis – Pembridge Road

This next restaurant is our top choice for light lunches on-the-go, with atis essentially filling the role of a veggie-friendly, healthier fast-food restaurant. The entire menu at atis is bursting with colour and flavour, offering loads of salad bowl dishes for both veggies and meat-eaters.

Fan-favourite bowls include the Green Goddess packed with broccoli, pink slaw, edamame and a speciality dressing, as well as the Double Crunch Thai made with cucumber, shredded carrots, crispy shallots and chilli-lime cashews, with plenty of new dishes added seasonally.

Should you fall in love with atis’ fresh take on quick, delicious, healthier fast-food, you’ll be pleased to know the brand is up and coming throughout London, with around 10 more spots dotted around the city. You can eat in at the bar or order delivery directly from atis’ website.

5. Granger and Co. – Westbourne Grove

Our final pick for the best veggie restaurants in Notting Hill is Granger and Co., a sleek and sophisticated, modern eatery with bespoke breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-conscious diners will love this spot for its wide variety of exciting options.

Veggie breakfast choices include Sweet Corn Fritters with Spinach and Avocado Salsa and Ricotta Hotcakes with Honeycomb Butter, lunch includes Puy Lentil Salad with Roasted and Pickled Beetroots, while dinner boasts Chilli Sesame Crispy Tofu with Peanut Miso Dressing.

Granger and Co. is a great spot for large parties with varying needs as all their menus have clearly-labelled meat, dairy and allergen-free options crafted for flavour and not just for show. If this spot sounds perfect for you, you can book a table on their site or even order delivery!
