Review: Wagamama – July 2019

Wagamama officially has the most space dedicated to it on Vegan Eats Oxford! It’s a sure sign that it’s one of our faves, and has an abundance of vegan options.

Review: Nef Istanbul

Our waitress was helpful in advising which choices were vegan, and in the end (thanks to her patience as it took us ages to decide) we went for a few mezze to share as starters, and a main each.

Review: The Perch

On a beautiful summery evening last week, Jamie and I took a walk down Binsey Lane to The Perch, having been invited to try out their recently refreshed vegan menu.

Cookbook Review: BISH BASH BOSH!

BISH BASH BOSH! is the most recently published recipe book by Henry Firth and Ian Theasby, known on social media as enthusiastic cooking duo BOSH!

Review: GAIL’s Bakery

Now I work in the city centre a whole world of delicious breakfast opportunities has been opened up to me. Back in the fold of my girl friends’ bi-monthly breakfast meet, in May we went to GAIL’s on Little Clarendon Street, in Jericho, before work to see what they had to offer.

Review: Keepers Kitchen & Bar

In the spot which used to be Marco’s, part of the Mercure hotel chain, appeared Keepers Bar & Kitchen a couple of months ago, with a new concept centring around the championing of urban bees.

Review: Bella Italia

Bella Italia is one of those ‘Italian’ chains I’ve meant to get to for a while, repping a separate vegan menu with options for every course of your meal. Bizarrely (or perhaps not when you consider it’s next door to the theatre) I’ve actually struggled to get a table.

Review: Browns Brasserie & Bar

Happily there is at least one vegan option for each course, including nibbles, sides and extras. If you want a coffee or tea, there is soy milk available on request. For a pretty traditional restaurant (we entered to a live pianist) which I wouldn’t have expected to be particularly vegan friendly, it fares surprisingly well, even if there isn’t lots to choose from.

Review: Byron Burger Part 2

You may be surprised to see me revisiting Byron Burger after my notoriously bad experience there last year. I must admit I was hesitantly curious when I saw that they relaunched a brand new vegan burger and an overhaul of their veggie and vegan options a couple of weeks ago.

Review: Brewdog

So I’d ordered the Hail Seitan burger, a BBQ seitan steak served with hummus and kale. The burger itself was very meat-like, so much so that I had to check there wasn’t a meat version of the same burger on the menu.

Review: Le Pain Quotidien

Inside the front entrance is an enticing display of breads, jams and spreads, and sweet and savoury treats, much of which is vegan. You can either grab a muffin and a cuppa to go, or wait to be seated in the restaurant area.

Review: Taste Tibet Pop-up at Silvie

Having tried Taste Tibet’s vegan curry on a Wednesday lunchtime at the Gloucester Green market when I worked in town, I’d been eyeing up this weekly Thursday night pop-up, hosted at Silvie, for some time.
