Stem & Glory in City of London, Westminster

I booked online and received friendly welcoming service. We ordered a selection of starters and desserts to share. We each ordered a main meal. We also ordered the mocktail - Apple & Elderflower Champagne. All were tasty and looked appetising. I would recomnend the BBQ cauliflower wings & Kimchi pankakes. Dirty Burger and Swede Gnocchi. Avocado, chocolate & hazelnut torte and glazed creme brulee. The portion size of the mains was just right and well seasoned. I am not a vegan but would happily return anytime!

Had Easter brunch. Took my mum for an Easter 'treat'. My mum had the 'eggs' florentine, i had the 'eggs' royale. Both were disgusting. The 'egg' is like a powdery, bland blob, clearly coloured with turmeric. The food was cold on both plates. The 'salmon' was overpoweringly smoky, and this overpowered the whole plate. My mums plate had cold wet spinach on it and the 'egg' and hardly anything else. Definitely NOT value for money-a tiny portion. The potatoes were ok, but cold. i definitely would NOT order this again, and i feel robbed that these plates both cost nearly £10! The only nice thing we ate was the cashew cheesecake, although £8 for a single slice of cake is actually disgustingly overpriced considering we are in a cost of living crisis. you really need to re-think your prices, because places like yours make people believe vegan food is expensive, and it shouldn't be. Regarding service, it took ages to be offered water, and ages to take our order. food arrived quickly and then the same waitress came over about 3 times to check we were ok, which is SOOOOO annoying. After that we wanted dessert so i asked for the menu, and she disappeared for ages then came back about 10minutes later without the menu, and i had to ask her again! Then the dessert took ages to arrive! I found service very poor, and i was annoyed that service was added onto the bill without asking. I didn't want to pay it but didn't want to embarrass my mum, as we were there as a birthday treat. The staff were friendly enough but very, very slow, and not at all attentive when they should have been, but too attentive when they shouldn't have been. As for the restaurant. only ONE toilet was in use which is terrible for the number of people that were in there. I am disabled and the only toilet in use was the disabled one so everyone was using it and i had to wait in a queue for a long time, which is very upsetting as my por health means i can unexpectedly really need to go at very short notice. The toilet itself wasn't clean, and the décor in the restaurant was nice enough but definitely looked like it needed a touch-up. It was also freezing inside-the Air Con was on, even though it was a cold and rainy day. Overall, the experience really disappointed me and my mum, and I ended up feeling so guilty that it was meant to be a lovely birthday treat and most definitely was not a treat. I would definitely not recommend this place, especially at the prices they are charging!

What a fantastic vegan restaurant. Every dish beautifully presented and so tasty. The individual flavours really shine through. Cocktails and wine list well priced. Service was friendly and helpful. We were very happy to pay to offset our carbon!

Convenient local restaurant which I was looking forward to trying. The Small plates we had were okay (pancakes were dry) but the main dishes were beyond disappointing - gnocchi and ravioli were both chewy, tasteless and just grim. it was a shame as I was looking forward to a lovely meat free, plant based lunch but this place has put me off. thank god for The Gate restaurants if you wish to eat healthily and enjoy flavours.

Awful experience. For starter I got cauliflower. It come up completely raw. Main dish (bowls) - no flavour. Veggies were raw, specifically courgette. Decent portion, sadly no flavour whatsoever. Staff was amazing. Friendly and carting, but at some point when within 10 minutes 3 people come to ask if everything is okay - it was a bit too much. The concept is great, execution on the other hand not so much.

Ok, we went there for St. Valentines, but still, the food was abismal. We had two different starters: ‘oysters’ - tasteless fried mushrooms with some kind of non-seasoned slaw (apple and celery on the side), and a corn taco, which was the only thing edible. For mains, we had a Tuscan stuffatto, which was a fake seafood dish, swimming in some kind of mayo dressing with the completely unseasoned rice, and the wild mushroom tortelloni, which were just stodgy lumps, again, swimming in some kind of cream. We ate maybe 1/3 of each dish. For dessert, there was a trio of some chocolate truffles (not bad), raspberry cake (not bad) and a tasteless panna cotta. In short, we tried enough dishes, that even for Valentines, at least one of them should have been ok. Sadly, not the case. The vibe was good, but we sat at the bar, watching the chefs, who looked bored and were dishing out these ready-made meals as if in a school canteen. Shame!

Good food and great to see how you can positively impact your carbon footprint with eating somewhere like this. Although they provide an allergy menu it would be good to see 'nut allergy' warnings on foods that you wouldn't expect nuts in. Great selection of food and drinks

Lovely food and cocktails. We thought the price was good for London prices. Lots of options and we shared and tried lots of dishes.

A very enjoyable experience and a bit of an adventure as we weren’t used to vegan restaurants. All the dishes we chose were tasty and beautiful to look at and good value.

Had lunch here on a Friday with family / friends. The menu was really interesting and offered plenty of gluten free options. There were options for all tastes including small and large portions, and all 5 meals we ordered were wonderful - tasty, interesting and nicely presented. Everything was so good we decided to have dessert and coffee as well - again, really wonderful food nicely presented and great coffee. We decided to eat here because of its location and weren’t looking for a vegan meal, but the chef here is brilliant and eating vegan was amazing. The ambience was perfect and the pricing was good for what we had. Would love to come back here including for dinner and to try some of their wines too. Highly recommend.

Had the best food and service. Thanks so much ti Yael & Heba for advising us and helping us through out the whole dinner. Would strongly recommend

This is the best vegan restaurant in London 5 star dinning you wouldn’t know you not eating meat, fantastic flavours and great service to top it all if your vegetarian, vegan it just want great food I would strongly recommend going

First time in this lovely restaurant. Ambiance is perfect. Food was very good and well presented. Service was also excellent. Would thoroughly recommend…

We had a team lunch today at S&G in London and I would highly recommend this place! Here’s why: My main dish came with some fries and unfortunately I didn’t like them at all… the fries looked and tasted like stodgy chips… I provided my feedback to the lady serving us (I’m a true believer in honest feedback). She was very apologetic and suggested to try something else from the menu and I thought why not, I will give another go… I’ve ordered some greens and wings and OMG they were absolutely delicious !! 🤤 I would definitely come back just to have them again! Thanks to the great customer service I felt in love with this place and their food!!! (but no fries next time🙊😬)💕

My husband and I ate here last night for the first time and absolutely loved it!! Service was spot on and the food was some of the best plant based food I've ever had. Would highly recommend the tacos and the scallops! We will 100% be visiting again!

We had an amazing dinner! Food was super fast, very tasty, and clean eating. The desserts were even better! Service was great and a very nice atmosphere!

Having eaten here before, I know the food is great. The wine, however, is VERY overpriced. I had just 2 x 250ml glasses of Pinot and they set me back £21.49! Not even inflation can account for that price. Not going back in a hurry.

I ate here with my colleague the week before last after having deliberated over a couple of places. As my colleague is vegan she was very excited to try here, I’m not vegan myself but thought I’d give it a go, to be honest though...

I knew this place would be good but I was blown away by how good it was. Everything about this restaurant was spot on. Excellent service, great ethos, fine wines, reasonable prices, generous portions and, most importantly, the food was devine. I eat a lot...

This is the fifth time we have been to Stem and Glory and it never fails to impress. I love the food - so refreshing to have vegan food which is not junk food. The menu is varied, modern and frankly delicious. The service is...

I had a lovely meal here with my family- we tried a lot of the dishes, and we particularly liked the cauliflower and broccoli starters. I especially liked how the menu was set out where you could see the carbon emissions from the dish- it...

I came about this place as e were staying at an Airbnb around the corner. All I can say is this is the most delicious plant based meal I’ve ever had! For staters we had the BBQ cauliflower wings, prepared to perfectness! The sauce was...

The food was amazing, and as someone who has a serious food allergy, the attention they gave to making sure I felt safe eating the food there was appreciated.

I had the most amazing experience here today! Everyone MUST try the bang bang broccoli. Service was 11/10, it goes without saying that I will be back! <3

The food was delicious and the waiting staff attentive and friendly. We went for lunch on the hottest, brightest day of the year so far and global warming was very much on our minds - all the lights in the restaurant were on, and when...

We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived until the moment we left and the service was excellent throughout. However the best part of our visit was the amazing food. The menu options all sounded great and between the 4 of...

Had lunch here- fish tacos was ok but tiny portion for £8. Then paid and noticed that there was a £1.23 carbon free dining donation- this woke. Gone crazy!If you open a restaurant- do not ask your clients to pay for the carbon foot print!...

Vegan food made with care and love, from start to finish it did not disappoint. The humble houmous was even made to be special accompanied by golden carrots daikon,pickle and seeded crunch. Hispi cabbage in golden curry and black rice, could have eaten a pot....

Having walked past S&G when I worked nearby I promised to try it, then Covid and retirement happened, so my visit was delayed. Finally visited and so glad we did, the food was everything I expected (and I am not a Vegan, just love good...

Absolutely gorgeous, flavourful food and extremely fast service! Staff were welcoming and polite and atmosphere was lovely.

Wonderful vegan restaurant with food everyone will enjoy, vegan or not Service is friendly and efficient. Wine list is good a excellent value Don't miss this city gem

We visited on Saturday, before the theatre. Ordered 4 small plates which were great between 2 people. Really tasty and different, loved the kimchi pancakes and the swede gnocci, cauliflower was banging with flavour. We really enjoyed the service too and will defintely come again....

Birthday celebrations arranged by my vegan friend and as a meat eater was apprehensive but totally amazed by the taste, presentation and creativity. Extremely keen to visit again to inspire my fellow meat eating Friends. Highly recommend!!!

Another excellent evening at one of my favourite vegan restaurants in the city. John quietly presided over every detail of the experience, recommending dishes, offering insight to flavours and checking all’s going well. The team are always happy and keen to help. Even the chef...

Visited here on the recommendation from a friend. The staff were friendly and Knowledgeable. The food was beautifully presented and tasty. Will definitely return.

Nice ambience and friendly staff but variable food. Cauliflower can be full of flavour but the cauliflower wings were barely cooked and the only flavour came from the sauce. The burger was cold with under cooked ‘chips’ (more like roast potatoes). Wouldn’t rush back.

Really tasty food, good service (staff were lovely), nice vibe and close to Barbican. Definitely try the "fish" tacos. We managed to get a walk in table on a Friday but would be worth booking so you don't miss out.

My partner reserved a table as a surprise birthday treat in January and John who welcomed us was lovely. He made us laugh from the moment we walked into the door and the service thereafter was fantastic both by John and his colleague. The food...

Even as a non vegan I thought the food was delicious. Highly recommend the cauliflower wings, and the szechuan aubergine. We had a great time.

We were a group of 4 with a couple of vegans and had a booking on 22 Feb. Our welcome at the entrance started on a bad note when a male server (notably not the person who seated most guests that evening) opted to first...

I cannot fault this place, we had an absolutely fantastic meal here. The staff were friendly, attentive and happy to explain anything on the menu for us. The food was spectacular and we enjoyed every single dish. As someone who is trying to eat more...

The Kimchi Pancakes are To. Die. For. We had 3 other small plates which were also great ('Fish' Tacos, Broccolini and Gnocchi) - and were filling enough for 2 peple with heathy appetites. I thought they were very reasonably priced. Friendly staff and a nice...

Being vegetarian, it's not always easy to find a place for lunch. I searched for a suitable restaurant near the London Museum which I was visiting, having checked the menu online, it was appealing. It's in a tucked away, quiet location about 5mn walk from...

Had the Swedish gnocchi and the Korean ‘fish’ tacos which were both delicious, maybe life without meat is possible! Cherry crumble was okay, crumble itself was a bit gritty but all savoury dishes were excellent. Look forward to new branch coming soon.

We were transported on a journey of taste sensations. The vivacity and voracious of this ensemble delisted mind body and soul. Great atmosphere.

We visited last night for their Burn's Night supper. The restaurant was fairly nice and bright however the tables were small, close together and with quite uncomfortable hard chairs. The staff were all friendly but lacked efficiency. The food was pretty however, it was luke...

The staff are lovely, they are really warm and welcoming and very friendly. The menu is good, The food has good flavours, but was cold and the portion sizes are very small and it's also really expensive. The chips were covered in grease and could...

Went with friends, service was very nice, the manager handled an issue very professionally. They were out of many starters and main courses, if this was due to stock restrictions for fear of Covid cancellations then it's understandable, but if it's the general run of...

We celebrated my Mum’s 70th birthday at Stem & Glory over a leisurely and outstanding lunch. The food is knockout - evidently cooked by vegan chefs who really care about creating dishes with texture, taste and wonderful presentation - the colours were eye popping. John...

Superb lunch and service! One of the best vegan burgers I’ve ever had! Definitely shall return! Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Great meal out - would highly recommend it! The aubergine and kimchi rice was amazing! Thanks to John and team

We had a lovely time, 100% vegan menu and allergy friendly. My favourite was the Crispy BBQ Cauliflower wings. We’re definitely coming back.

Excellent food and service. Thank you to John Daniels for guiding me through a wonderful Vegan experience

I am new to Vegan food, and was pleasantly surprised by the choice of delicious food. Our host John Daniels was excellent along with his staff

My boyfriend and I went here for my 25th Birthday and it was a wonderful experience all round. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the staff in a very friendly manner. Once seated our orders were taken swiftly and we were even given a glass...

I attended Stem + Glory on 9th December 2021 and it was such a lovely experience! John, the General Manager, was so attentive, and the waiting staff were also very lovely. They seemed as if they may have been quite new employees and lacked a...

Lovely interior: airy and white furnishings that lend a sense of calm. I was greeted warmly by staff and the manager (I think) so definitely sets a very good first impression. I popped in for takeaway lunch and had the NAKED BURGER BOWL 14: succulent...

Expensive for food that is not restaurant standard. Service average as menu and payment is pushed to a phone app. Gnocchi was raw and heavy. Complaint about this fell on deaf ears. You can knock up better vegan food at home. Save your cash.

It is brightly lit which doesn't create much ambience. The wall next to me was dirty with bits of food on it which I found off putting. The staff are super nice and attentive but I was expecting more from the food. The gnocchi was...

The menu, reviews on here and marketing on their website would lead you to believe that Stem and Glory is a preeminent, high end, market leading London vegan restaurant. It is not. Located in the middle of nowhere half way between the City and Holborn,...

Had a lovely meal here - staff were really friendly and the food was gorgeous. Beautifully presented too. Will go back when next in area.

We went for a birthday lunch and it was just fabulous. The food was excellent, so good to be able to order anything on the menu. We started with kimchi pancakes and cauliflower buffalo wings, the gnocchi for mains was sensational and finished with raspberry...

Great selection of food. Stand outs were the cauliflower wings to start with as well as the fettuccini for main! Good portion sizes as well, will be back.

Delicious food served by friendly staff. Imaginative menu and sufficient portions to satisfy very hungry people including the non vegan.

The best vegan restaurant we have visited in London so far. Good location (pleasant and quiet square in the City), and tasty and creative food. Plus, the portions are quite generous - and the watermelon gazpacho made a birthday lunch even more special. The staff...

Fantastic place amazing food would highly recommend special shout to our waitress Jessica she was first class ! Will definitely revisit on our travels to the capital

It was our first time in Stem and Glory and we would really recommend. The food was tasty, and beautifully presented… delicious. Excellent service… thank you Mr Vlad !

The best thing about the restaurant is that it has a relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food was below average, especially considering how expensive most of menu is. The most disappointing thing was the lack of freshness in the...

We ate here last night for a Birthday Dinner, the food was absolutely delicious. Highlights were the swede gnocchi, the arancini and the buffalo cauliflower. Sadly we did have to wait an unacceptable time for our main course to arrive but our server couldn't have...

Will definitely be visiting again. The food was delicious and the service was fab! Good variety of options for both mains and desserts.

Had dinner here last night with my boyfriend and we loved it! Food was delicious and the menu is a perfect size. it’s was so nice to eat out and have some healthier options other than burgers. Service was so quick and lovely staff. Looking...

Visited in a small group - restaurant was relatively busy. It's a bright space with minimal cafe style dining. I love that everything is vegan, but the menu wasn't especially appetising to me - Ordered a few small plates and the food wasn't great. Teriyaki...

Had a wonderful meal here last night! The food was amazing and so much choice even my mother who is a meat lover was delighted with the food. The staff were lovely and it’s a very welcoming restaurant. Looking forward to the next visit!

My girlfriend and I visited Stem & Glory for her birthday and the overall experience was positive. The service was quick and friendly, the location is nice and the premises looked modern and clean. On the other side, some of the dishes we ordered were...

I have been to the Cambridge branch of Stem and Glory many times and could not recommend it more highly for some of the best vegan food I have even had. The London restaurant could not have been more different! First, the service was painfully...

Had a booking for a birthday celebration although 2 guests not vegan or vegetarian rang earlier in the week to explain and was happy that the manager stated he would help with menus this didn’t happen and one guest ended up with a plate of...

Having been taken once to this place by a friend I selected this restaurant for a group meal that included a number of veggies and those with dietary requirements. It was absolutely the right choice. The restaurant is located in a quiet area to the...

It’s always nice to know you can consume anything on the menu without having a consultation with the waiter. Modern, creative and very tasty range of dishes. The small plate/ tapas options give the opportunity to try a range of different dishes and the mains...

I stumbled upon this restaurant quite a while back and I loved it. I knew I wanted to bring my parents with me the next time I went there. Usually some of the vegan places near the center are really crammed and noisy. In this...

We went to Stem + Glory as a family with great excitement as the restaurant sounded great. Let me start with the positive. Ambience: The place looks lovely, light and airy and is spick and span. Sevice: Also service was great; really responsive and friendly...

Food was amazing! Food was full of flavour and as a non vegan I didn’t miss the meat at all! Service was also great. We arrived late for our table but we were still seated within minutes. Would 100% visit again. It is on the...

Having seen so many positive reviews and the restaurant promoting itself as the best vegan restaurant in London, I had high hopes on my visit. The whole experience was extremely disappointing. Starting with waiting awkwardly at the door while people mulled about not paying much...

I was in a group of 8 at London's Stem and Glory for a birthday meal. The decor of the restaurant is nice and the food / drinks look beautiful but we all agreed the taste and flavours were a bit average and I would...

I had a late lunch here and tried the sticky cauliflower ‘wings’ and jackfruit bao buns. Divine is an understatement. The perfect balance of flavours. The service was speedy and good too. Highly recommend for both vegans and non vegans. I love the creativity displayed...

This is a nice looking restaurant, clean and modern looking. I had the kimchi pancakes meal, which was very nice. The service was a little slow at first but I think they were just very busy. They were very helpful anyway, so it was a...

We’ve been looking forward to eating here for quite a while, the menu looked fantastic, as my wife and I have been vegetarian for 6 months, we were keen to go to eat somewhere that offered more than the usual cheese and mushroom combinations as...

Veganuary & Vegan offspring. I wasn’t quite dragged here kicking & screaming, but prior to arrival certainly felt that I would be ‘taking one for the team’. However WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! Nice bright restaurant, good sounds & nice ambience, lovely & efficient staff. The...

Meal with my Vegan daughter (I am an omnivore). Light bright restaurant, attentive staff, lovely meal beautifully presented.

We booked a table for early evening and were made to feel welcome on arrival.Waiter was friendly and informative and enthused about the restaurant. The food was imaginative, well presented and full of flavour. The service was attentive and prompt, even as the restaurant filled...

I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant for my birthday but it didn’t live up to my expectations. We arrived 15 minutes early our table was ready and we were seated but then not attended to until after the time our booking was...

I first visited this restaurant with my sister and husband in November 2019. Food was delicious. We returned on 6 January 2020 and it was not the same. My paella hardly had any ingredients. It was mainly quinoa and had a few cold uncooked whole...

Myself and a friend had a lovely meal at stem and glory really tasty food and delicious cocktails. It’s a really smart and contemporary dining area. We were disappointed to find out after we left the restaurant and paid the bill that £11.20 tax had...

So pleased to find another vegan place I hadn't tried. Terrible draught in the place - not a good look for wintery London. Waitress was pleasant and helpful but busy and only noticed one other waiter and they were both doing the drinks also. So...

I've eaten here several times, often with non-vegan friends, and they all seemed to enjoy the food, which is thoughtfully prepared and well presented. It also seems relatively healthy, without the emphasis on deep-fried meat-alike products seen in some of London's vegan establishments. The staff...

Dinner for one vegan and one non-vegan. Love the dining room! Lovely and bright; new and clean. Vegan was in vegan heaven and loved the food (Swedish meatballs) whilst non-vegan was a bit meh (katsu curry). Staff were friendly but we had to repeatedly remind...

Very disappointed with our Festive roast dinner with 'real' roast potatoes which four of us ordered. Under cooked sprouts, stem broccoli and parsnips all drowned in a too strong jus/gravy that was pre-poured on. Roast potatoes were very far from the hot and crispy on...

We decided to go this restaurant because my friend is vegan and we fancied something different. Before we chose this restaurant, we checked their Instagram feed and it showed lots of good food plates. Their food presentation is outstanding! Once there we did not know...

Went for a late lunch after visiting and exhibiton at the Barbican My friend and I selected the set lunch menu there were ample choices of delicious sounding food. I had the kim chi pancakes, which were delicious to start and my friend had the...

Fabulous creative food ; exceptional service and passionate chefs make this a brilliant experience. Brings a whole new energy to vegan food.

We had a lovely late lunch here. The service was efficient and friendly and the food delicious. This was Sunday afternoon, so the area round about was very quiet (apart from an urban fox slinking along the street!). I imagine it is much busier during...
