11 vegan kitchens in Spitalfields & Brick Lane.
Part of The Vegan Ledger. Every kitchen here gets the same three-voices check as every other: what the business claims, what customers reveal in reviews — quoted, with receipts — and what only the owner can confirm. Updated 29 July 2026.
How we verify
Every kitchen here is checked three ways: what the business claims in its own listing, what customers actually say in reviews (quoted, not paraphrased), and what only the owner can confirm — which we hold as an open question until they answer it themselves. We won’t list a “vegan” kitchen if reviews contradict the claim; that’s cost places their listing before.
VeganUnity Diner
All-vegan non-profit American-style diner near Spitalfields — comfort food (tofish and chips, doner, Sunday carvery) run on a charitable ethos, with a bar.
Vegetarian1947 Restaurant, Bar & Pizza Kitchen
Intimate bi-level vegetarian/vegan Indian restaurant on Middlesex Street (with a pizza-and-pasta side menu) rated 4.7 across 2,870 reviews. Customers — vegans and non-vegans alike — single out its plant-based chicken tikka masala and warmly attentive, known-by-name hosts.
VeganTofu vegan Spitalfields
Flagship fully vegan Chinese restaurant on Commercial Street (4.9 from 2,777 reviews) doing dumplings, dim sum, mapo tofu and mock-meat classics at generous portions with unlimited rice refills; service by named regulars Vincent and Jenny draws as much praise as the food. Packed at dinner, easier mid-day.
VeganVegan Yes
All-vegan Italian–Korean fusion cafe on Brick Lane, chef-owner led, with a build-your-own kimchi bar.
VegetarianBubala Spitalfields
An entirely meat-free Middle Eastern restaurant in Spitalfields built around creative sharing plates — reviewers return again and again to the confit potatoes and halloumi with black seed honey — with warm, well-paced service that makes it a go-to for celebrations and group dinners.
VeganDauns
Fully vegan Scandinavian café-deli near Petticoat Lane, E1, doing Swedish-style brunch — toasties on sourdough, tofu scramble, kanelbullar and Swedish meatballs. Customers rate it near-perfect (4.9 from 827 reviews) but the small room fills fast at weekends.
VeganGecko Coffeehouse
Plant-based coffeehouse and brunch spot on Bethnal Green Road, loved for its blueberry matcha pancakes and speciality coffee, with a cosy Bali-style downstairs that regulars use for studying.
VeganMerkamo Ethiopian
A dedicated vegan Ethiopian kitchen in Old Spitalfields Market (4.8 from 284 reviews), loved for flavour-packed, healthy platters of lentils, okra and dumplings — portions generous enough that regulars call it the best-value healthy option in the market, worth the occasionally slow queue.
VeganMerkamo Vegan
The all-vegan Ethiopian sister restaurant on Hanbury Street, serving injera platters, coconut dumplings and spiced tea that reviewers describe as 'presented as a work of art' — a cosy sit-down room (plus downstairs space) with warm service and prices consistently called great value.
VeganPlantXology
Fully vegan North Indian street-food stall trading weekends in Brick Lane's Backyard Market, loved for dosas, vada pav, pani puri and inventive tofu and mock-meat dishes at market prices. The vendor's warm, explanatory style wins converts, though reliability of trading days is a flagged risk.
VeganHoly Carrot Bistro Spitalfields
Fully plant-based fine-casual bistro on Brushfield Street from the Holy Carrot brand — technique-led vegetable cookery (mushroom wings and flatbread draw raves) with a serious cocktail list, though early reviews flag service teething and premium prices.
