"The Gate is one of London’s original and best all-vegetarian restaurants. The Islington spot serves food that jumps around the world from aubergine schnitzel to a seitan katsu curry, but the common thread that ties everything together is that it’s all vegetarian and all very tasty. The Gate is properly laid-back for a nice brunch, but also feels fancy enough that you could bring a date and charm them over a plate of couscous fritters." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver
