Review: Skogen Kitchen

Tucked away down King Edward Street is this cute Scandinavian Café, Skogen Kitchen, and they are nailing the hygge vibes. Having spied that they sell vegan cinnamon buns to order on their website, I was sure they would be a vegan-friendly spot to meet a friend for a light lunch and long catch-up.

Review: Costa Coffee

January, or Veganuary as it’s exclusively known as now among the vegan community, has been a great month for new product and menu launches in the last couple of years, with 2020 seemingly bringing the most exciting announcements yet. I took a trip to Costa Coffee to try out their brand new options.

Vegan Eats’ Veganuary: Favourite vegan recipe books

As it’s Veganuary, I wanted to share some of my vegan tips beyond going out to eat at restaurants. January can be a tough month after the expense of Christmas, and indulging less in meals out can be one of the easy ways to save the pennies. Here are my top vegan cookbooks that I come back to time and time again for inspiration – quick mid-week meals, showstoppers, snacks and beyond.

Review: Tortilla

Right in the middle of Cornmarket and embedded in the Clarendon Centre, Tortilla offers fast-food style Mexican food ‘mixed with some Californian inspiration’.

Review: Brasserie Blanc

If the previous three years of team Christmas lunches had taught me anything, it was not to get my hopes up.

Review: The Coconut Tree

Followers of my Instagram will know that I’m a big fan of The Coconut Tree, on St Clement’s Street. In fact, whenever new followers send me a message asking for recommendations of where to eat, I will always tell them that the Sri Lankan bar/restaurant is my number one place to get good vegan food in Oxford.

Review: Mowgli

The atmosphere in the evening is lovely, sitting on little wooden swing seats surrounded by fairy lights. The food, while great quality, is very reasonably priced, and they’ve put customer experience at front of mind with the allergen menu provided on a clipboard with the menu as standard.

Review: Victors

I have reviewed Victors before, but after my recent visit I knew I had to come back on the blog and give everyone an update! My eagle eyes spotted they were offering 50% off their Autumn and Winter menu during September/October, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of differences in their offering for vegans.

Review: DLicious at David Lloyd

The vegan options are clearly labelled which made ordering really easy, and we didn’t have to wait too long for our food to arrive.

Review: The Bicycle Shed

They focus on good quality, seasonal food, so they’re refreshing what’s on offer fairly regularly, and they seem to be very inclusive in catering to a variety of dietary requirements. The bar and restaurant seemed like the perfect spot for a romantic and relaxed evening meal.

Review: The Rickety Press Fish & Chip Shop

You guys will know that I’m a big fan of Dodo Pubs, and the food at The Rickety Press. They nailed it with their special Veganuary burger this year and they’ve been doing great things with the vegan options on their menu ever since. They clearly appreciate the value of having quality vegan food available […]

Review: Bbuona Pizza Bar

You might recognise the restaurant featured in this review, Bbuona Pizza Bar, under its former name, Buonjourno e Buonosera. As a pretty traditional style pizzeria, Bbuona Pizza Bar isn’t on board with the vegan cheese, but there are plenty of labelled vegan options on the menu.
