Good vegans restaurant/cafe needed

My girlfriend is trying to go on a detox diet, basically no meat, no (or little) salt, sugar, no wheat, no milk and.. I think that it, trouble is there's only so much you can do in London, and going to Wholefoods in Marchmont Street isn't appealing when there's little choices.

do anyone know a good vegans restaurant/cafe apart from the one in Neal's Yard (too few selection) and Food for Thought?

The Gate in Hammersmith is pretty good - not cheap tho
Mildreds in Lexington St - good staple
Blah Blah Blah Goldhawk Rd - havent been there for ages but used to be good - veg but not sure about vegan

i'm sure there'll be some better recomendations than these coming....!

Manna on Erskine St in Primrose Hill is nice, but a bit expensive.

Planet Organic near Goodge Street, and Fresh and Wild in Soho are pretty decent. Also a great restuarant in Soho but I can't remember it's name...near Shaftsbury Avenue, on a corner, serves tasty food! One of those ones where you order at the 'bar' at the front, and pay by the scoop. Pretty fair pricing too.

I'm told Sagar in Hammersmith good; I've wanted to go there for a while. I'm certain it's vegetarian, but I think they do some vegan stuff.

REally good food, but not for detoxing at a guess*.


*From my understanding of detoxing.

+1, and half price cocktails until 7:30 and they let you order as many as you like before that time and then make them throughout the evening. Great mojitos :)

On the high street.

If you come up Ch. St. and turn left at the lights, it's about 50m down on the left; courtyard and fountain.
