To celebrate World Vegetarian Day on Thursday 1st October, OpenTable is releasing a list of top 40 restaurants for vegan and vegetarian friendly dining in the UK.
Vegetarianism is steadily on the rise
Last year it was revealed that 1 in 8 Brits now adhere to the vegetarian diet, including popular celebrities such as Daisy Lowe, Ellie Golding, Joanna Lumley and Alexa Chung. As a result, UK restaurants are increasingly offering up a wider selection of vegetable based dishes on their menus.
Gone are the days when meat free options were just an inconvenient afterthought, nowadays UK menus are awash with beautifully designed, innovative dishes such as Raw’s Courgette Spirals with Summer Herb Pesto and Cashew Nut Cheese, Amico Bio’s Pearl Barley and Cannellini Beans Soup or Food For Friends’ Tahini Marinated Roast Aubergine. Veggie options are now becoming so superior that even carnivores are being tempted away from less adventurous meat options.
OpenTable’s top 40 feature some of the best restaurants across the UK, including fine eateries in London, Brighton, Winchester, Bristol and Lyme Regis.
