If you ask a London-based vegan where to head for delicious plant-based food, Shoreditch will be high on their list of locations. A hub for vegan businesses, trendy Shoreditch has a huge variety of vegan restaurants for you to visit and feast upon.
Got a craving for a Vietnamese iced coffee, fluffy bao buns or bibimbap? Head to Eat Chay in Boxpark. You can find them on the first floor of the park, where they serve up dishes like kimchi ramen, fried chick’n sandos and seaweed salted fries
Once you’ve got your food, it’s time to find a seat. Open-plan box park has a great vibe, often with DJs or live music to enjoy. This is a great place to grab a beer and feast with friends on a Saturday afternoon.

You can wash it all down with a creamy vegan milkshake, which comes in seven delicious flavours including Biscoff and Banana Caramel.
