3) Foer

Named after Donald Watson who coined the term veganism, this restaurant takes sustainability seriously: promising to plant a tree for every dish served and changing the world through good food. More importantly, they serve hearty vegan dishes and a good vegan cheese platter.

5) Yerba
Yerba calls itself a ‘plant-forward restaurant space’, offering 4, 5 or 6-course menus that are entirely plant based but can be supplemented to match omnivore’s tastes. The dishes are creative and intricately balanced.
