There are many different sections that define modern British food. With that said London is a melting pot of different cultures and now offers some of the best Chinese, Mexican, African and Indian food. In this blog post, I will be talking about modern Caribbean food in Islington, Spanish tapas in Stoke Newington, breakfast and brunch in West Hampstead and Kentish Town respectively and finally the best roast dinner I’ve ever had located in Camden.

Ranked by Happy Cow as number one in the top 10 vegan-friendly cities in the world, London currently has 161 fully vegan restaurants and over 350 fully vegan establishments. I try to visit London at least once a year and visit as many vegan spots as possible. This has quickly become the highlight of each year seeing the advancement in veganism year on year. That's why I'm obsessed with having breakfast at Kin Cafe, everything Unity Diner has to offer, the burgers from Bang on Burgers and Neat Burger and celebrating Veganuary at Franco Manca

Florence is one of the most stunning cities I have ever visited. It is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, becoming a major artistic, cultural, economic and financial centre. The majority of dishes are traditionally based on meat however with the rise of veganism across the world Florence’s vegan scene has become so rich that there’s a wide range of places to grab a bite between sightseeing.

Barcelona is an absolute hotspot for vegan food right now and even some of the most established roasteries are getting in on it. That is why I am again highlighting some of my favourite places to eat in Barcelona.

The Fields Beneath is a cafe, wine shop and local hub in the centre of Kentish Town, focusing on three of the most important things in life: food, coffee and people.

In the heat of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, Turbowolf’s bassist Lianna Lee Davis created LD’s Kitchen in her home kitchen and laid the groundwork for all vegan goodness that’s been served up in The Black Heart. After texting her tech manager about looking for a space in London this led Lianna to The Black Heart in Camden, and the two are a match made in heaven.

Despite being known for its meat-centred traditional cuisine, Florence is only evolving and growing, offering multiple vegetarian and vegan restaurants. From traditional pizzerias to cosy bistros, over the past couple of years Florence has become more inclusive, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Being vegan in Barcelona is a dream, there are so many options that we couldn’t even visit everywhere we wanted to in one trip! Veganism is growing and evolving so quickly that a couple of years ago you would have never had so many options.

One cold January morning in London, all I wanted was a breakfast burrito. Something with scrambled tofu, avocado, maybe some sweet potato and definitely some cheese. That’s when I stumbled upon KIN Cafe!
