Seed Kitchen in Camden

This is the new name of the Friends House restaurant (not to be confused with the Quaker Centre Café and bookshop upstairs). It is open for lunch only from 12 to 2. The decor is greens and blues with a leaf motif. There are tables with comfortable chairs and booths. The food is entirely vegan and vegetarian, and very inventive. Mains (£7.95) include chestnut mushroom stroganoff with brown and wild rice, vegan "fish" and chips, and a lentil and seed burger. There are also lighter dishes at £4.50 (which can be upgraded to a main dish), including a Shallot Tarte Tatin, and soup of the day with a roll is £3.95. There is a range of desserts at £4.95 (including a vegan coconut crème brulé) and various non-alcoholic drinks. You find a table, order and pay at the counter and the food is brought to you. Service is quick, efficient and friendly. Seed Kitchen is perfect for workers on a lunch break or if you have an hour to spare before catching a train at Euston. Seed Kitchen represents excellent value for money, especially compared with the run-of-the-mill offerings at the station across the road.
