Owned by well-connected glamour puss Camilla Al-Fayed (of Harrods fame), Farmacy sells ‘clean eating’ to an eager audience of moneyed Notting Hillbillies and aspirational hedge-fund wives. It’s a happy, joyful, ‘free-from’ kind of place – no dairy, no sugars, no additives, no meat, with lots of raw stuff lurking in its signature ‘earth bowls’. Judging by the ridiculously glossy good looks of most of the customers, the idea seems to work.
FEBRUARY 2020: We’ve added two super-stylish spots, both offering exciting raw dishes. In central London, there’s the colourful Covent Garden branch of Sushisamba, and over on Portobello Road, you’ll find the vibey and terrifyingly popular Gold.
There's only one foodie trend more wholesome than veganism, and that's raw foodism. Being a gourmand's ground zero, London has its fair share of cool joints keeping things below 42°C (that's the cut-off between raw and not raw, so you know). From kohlrabi rice and cashew cheese to healthy super-food salads and cold-pressed juices, this is London's best (non)cooking.
