"Tendril is mostly vegan (bar a couple of cheesy dishes) but instead of fobbing you off with a suspicious lump described as ‘faux sausage’, the place makes tasty dishes with vegetables. The spot straddles Soho and Mayfair but, with its soft yellow townhouse exterior and wrought iron gates, it feels more like the latter. The excellent dishes draw inspiration from Europe to Asia, without ever feeling confused. The dining room—decked out in teal and dusty pink paint—is buzzy, even midweek, and it’s a pretty place to have a catch-up." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
