Black Cat

The menu at this Clapton ethical and vegan cafe might be simple, but they're a top spot for budget plant-based food that's healthy too. (And there's not a glossy west-London couple in sight.) Their ever-changing salad plates feature a rotating selection of perfectly dressed kale, beetroot and pesto salads. Their smoky lentil burger (£7) is proper comfort food and we never leave without grabbing a syrupy vegan pastry from the counter.
