The Michelin Stars Of Veganuary
If the thought of a diet of rabbit food and vegetables makes you feel that Veganuary is insurmountable, then think again. Here’s a selection of restaurants where you can expect only the best vegan food, guaranteed to be tasty and certified by the people over at French tyre manufacturer Michelin. And if they can specialise in vulcanised rubber AND rating fine dining establishments, then surely these chefs can turn their skills from meat and two veg to, well, veg?
Pollen Street Social
All things pollen, floral and vegetable are centre-stage at Jason Atherton’s flagship restaurant, Michelin-starred Pollen Street Social. Vegans, or Veganuaryians, can look forward dishes like British garden vegetable salad, green bean, truffle and hazelnut salad, New Forest mushroom salad (basically all the salads), not to mention parsley and garlic risotto.
Where: 8-10 Pollen Street, Mayfair, W1S 1NQ

The Ritz London
The Ritz may be the definition of old-school, tradition, stiffened upper lips and laced up squareness, but if you’re expecting every menu item to be swan eggs and corgi sweetbreads you couldn’t be further from the mark. Not only is the Michelin star restaurant one of London’s smartest for all the right reasons, with a modern and exciting menu, but it also sports a special vegan menu. So yes to pumpkin veloutè, salt baked beetroot, pithier of Heritage Potato, globe artichoke and a pudding of chocolate and banana device Ritz sorbets!
Where: 150 Piccadilly, London, W1J 9BR, United Kingdom
