222 Veggie Vegan

This is one of the best vegan restaurants I have ever visited.I can see a damning negative feedback here but the wirter doesn't even seem to know the difference between vegan & vegetarian cuisine. This is NOT a vegetarian restaurant, although by default all vegan dishes are vegetarian as well. I don't think this writer has ever coooked a vegan meal at home, else she woulld have known that how difficult it is to get the right flavours whilst cooking vegan. And right flavours that's what you always get at 222. She goes on to write "the bun huge & dry...and salad on the side boring". Lady you sound very constipated, do you ever get happy in life, talk about flavours if you really want to write.

Have been vegetarian for 30 years and am sorry to say that this restaurant was terrible. Apart from the 40 minute wait for each course (main and pudding) the food was actually beyond bland tasting and in the yuk category Difficult to make pasta with tomato and veg sauce taste bad but they managed it.. The burger was dry and bland, the bun huge and dry and the salad on the side boring. Stayed for pudding only because it was a birthday 'treat' for me and I had the children with me. Puddings were not so bad but the other thing to mention was the unbearable heat! We were by the window on a seat over a radiator and the kids had to keep going outside in minus 2 weather to cool down. All together, 2 1/2 hours of yuk food and £80 wasted. Have eaten in many vegetarian restaurants over the years and this one was the worst. Maybe it was full of meat eaters trying it out but a true veggie can do a LOT better cooking at home.

The above review is unfair. I have had the same starter many times and it was anything but bland. To my mind, 222 has certainly the best vegan food in London and among the best in Europe. It also excellent value, unlike some other more pricey vegggie places which disappointingly can never make vegan puddings. The puddings and cakes at 222 are absolutely scrumptious, dairy substitute or not.

The food at this restaurant is out of this world. Any excuse I can find to drop by for a bite to eat, I am there.

Really lovely food. I am a non veggie and I love the food at 222. This restaurant has been a great introduction for a non veggie meat eater like me, introducing me to new foods and really good flavours.

The food really is delicious and filling - also very experimental, so you are really getting authentic dishes. The ambience is great! I love 222!!!!!!!!!!!

222 is a great place for delicious vegan vegetarian food. I have tried many different restaurants in the UK and abroad, but 222 remains in the top range of my list.
