"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

We had an excellent dinner experience at The Gate in Islington. The starters, mains and desserts were all flavoursome and exceptional value for money. The service was great and our waitress was attentive and friendly. We would highly recommend this restaurant to others!

Decent vegetarian food here. I had the moussaka and enjoyed it. But I feel like it’s not filling enough for my personal preferred dinner portion. We also sat in the corner so it was hard to order sometimes. But nonetheless it wasn’t too bad!

Beautiful food, lovingly presented. Special mention for courgette flower for starter. It was very quiet on Saturday afternoon, in fact we were the only people there by the end! But maybe it's busier in the evenings. However that's a small quibble and this is the third time I've eaten here, and I'm sure I will be back!

Food was lovely and the flavours were full and interesting. They’ve got a few other restaurants in London too and I highly recommend. Awesome to see a fully plant based menu now 👏 Stand out dishes were the courgette flower, oyster mushroom and moussaka

Took a carnivore with me to this wonderful restaurant and they couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed it! The onion tart starter was delicious and beautifully presented. My red Thai curry main was warming but not too hot even with the fresh chillies. Sides of fresh broccoli and polenta chips were both devoured! And the tiramisu (shared) was one of the lightest I’ve ever tasted - super presentation too. Overall theme: Flavour!

Tasty vegetarian (almost everything is vegan!) menu. Standout dish was the chipotle mushrooms with polenta. 4 stars because it felt quite pricey for the portion sizes and we waited 25 minutes for some drinks when it wasn't particularly busy and when we reminded the waitress she didn't particularly care.

We had lunch here for 8 people. Lovely presented food and very tasty. Nice staff and great Veggie food.. didn't have enough time to try the desserts but they looked delicious! There were only two staff that did waitering and greeting and one bar staff who did drinks. The restaurant was full of customer's at lunch time and so there was some delays with ordering drinks and food. They need more staff during peek times.

Best food I've eaten I'm recent memory. The miso maple aubergine was delicious! My main tortilla was very fillyling and flavoursome... & the dessert 😍 oh my! Tasted so much like profiterole! Yummy! Also had a lovely busy atmosphere and our waiter was fab! Thank you!
