SAF Vegan Restaurant Shoreditch London
Located in the trendy Shoreditch area of London. A very modern restaurant that offers some stunning and very different dishes to the norm. The dishes are all vegan with many vegan raw dishes. I really like the food here I would go as far to say this is the best veggie restaurant I have ever eaten in. The atmosphere is really nice with low lights and candles. The staff are also very good and knowledgeable.
The dishes we tried included a raw beetroot and cashew cheese ravioli, spiced water melon and tomato dish served with cucumber/chive pearls, pad thai, green curry, mushroom risotto and pearl barley risotto.
Last time I went we had a vegan cheese tasting plate for 2 and it was spectacular with a mix of their different vegan cheeses, crackers, fruit and more – one of our favourite ever vegan dishes.
Their cocktails are a real highlight. If you get chance, try their Tipping The Velvet coffee cocktail (ask if it’s not on the menu) – stunning!
For desserts the chocolate and orange marbled ganache was stunning, i have tried their sorbets and ice creams it is all wonderful.
Sunday Lunches After being blown away by their raw food and imaginative menu, we sampled the delights of their Sunday roast. To be honest, initial visual impressions were not as good as expected – the gravy was puree thick and purple/grey in colour. But the taste delivered in spades – which is what matters at the end of the day.
They have some amazing cocktails but they also do some fantastic tasting wines, beers and soft drinks including teas and coffees.
The pricing is what you would expect to pay in a nice restaurant in London but it is not over the top.
I cannot recommend this place enough.
This restaurant has a sister in the South Kensington area based in the wholefoods market. I will review this one shortly.
