"Along with misconceptions that being vegan means you’re exceptionally healthy all the time and that 90% of your paycheck goes on Linda McCartney sausages, is the idea that being vegan means you have to miss out on some of London’s best restaurants. Restaurants like Bubala. Luckily this Middle Eastern spot in Spitalfields isn’t only serving some of the best vegetarian food in London, but it has plenty of vegan options too. You’re in safe hands no matter what you order—but if you leave without getting the fried aubergine with date syrup you’re doing it wrong." - Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
