With accomplished Chef Director Luke Tipping in charge in the kitchen – and chef Leo Kattou, who starred in MasterChef: The Professionals – it’s easy to see why this Michelin-starred restaurant is hailed as one of Birmingham’s finest eateries. Be sure to call ahead to request the gorgeous vegan tasting menu.

Seasonal vegetables shine at this meat-free restaurant, where most dishes are or can be made vegan. The Five Course Feast with wine to match is sure to impress, with a range of wholesome dishes based on mushrooms, artichokes, and other vegetables.

Whatley Manor, Wiltshire

As one of the top luxury hotels in the Cotswolds, Whatley Manor is the perfect setting for a spot of vegan fine dining in either of the restaurants. The Dining Room has one Michelin star under the direction of Executive Chef Ricki Weston and his team, while Grey’s offers a more relaxed dining experience. Menus have a focus on sustainability and local produce, and dishes include marinated pomelo, perigord truffle tofu, and enoki mushroom in toasted vegetable broth.

Gauthier Soho, London

Headed by chef‑owner Alexis Gauthier and nestled in an elegant Soho townhouse, Gauthier Soho is the ultimate in vegan fine dining. The star attraction is the multi‑course tasting menu, inspired by Gauthier’s extensive experience in classical French cooking, and showcasing his mastery of modern vegan gastronomy. Gauthier’s visionary approach has positioned him as both a leader in vegan cuisine and one of the most inspiring chefs redefining the future of fine dining.

Holy Carrot, London

A slightly more affordable London option, Holy Carrot is the perfect destination for a birthday, date night, or anniversary. Nestled in the heart of Notting Hill, it showcases creative, vegetable forward dining. We’d recommend the Evening experience menu – which takes you through seasonal favourites at the chef’s discretion, with no decisions required.
