1. Mildredâs
Head to Mildredâs in Dalston to experience possibly one of the most life-changing burgers of all time. The restaurant is one of the proud stockists of the incredible Moving Mountains B12 Vegan Burger, which has been engineered to closely mimic a beef patty, even âbleedingâ (beetroot juice) when cut open. As the name suggests, itâs ingredients are deliberately rich in B12: so not only will it keep those pesky Omni questions about B12 at bay, this burger is actually good for you. You wonât look back â it may even sway your non-vegan mates over to the V-gangâŚ
Jump on the good foot to: 1 Dalston Sq, E8 3GU
2. Mooshies
Okay, so weâre cheating a bit here: this exclusively vegan East End burger bar offers four absolutely spectacular vegan burgers, and frankly, we canât decide which one rocks our world the most. Choose from pulled BBQ jackfruit, âfillet-om-phishâ (thatâs nori wrapped battered aubergine), quinoa & black bean, or chick pea, green pea & spinach patties â and load up on the sides! We highly recommend their guacamole with plantain crisps: fried and gone to heaven much.
Follow the yellow Brick Lane to: 104 Brick Lane, E1 6RL.
3. Temple of Seitan
Boasting two restaurants as of quite recently â Camden and Hackney – Temple of Seitan deserves a visit from you for the genius wordplay alone. Even better though, this revolutionary fast food joint has harnessed the vegan power of seitan to bring a kebab shop-cum-chicken-shack-cum-burger joint to life. All the vibes of KFC without the monstrous brutality behind the menu. We especially love their Temple Spicy Burger because weâre suckers for chipotle vegan mayo and sriracha in the same mouth-watering bite.
Hail seitan⌠sorry, a cab to: 103a Camley Street, N1C 4PF or 10 Morning Lane, E9 6NA
4. The Vurger Co.
This place could be one of our favourites â what herbivore doesnât shed a tear of joy at the words âvegan briocheâ? A super hip ambience in Shoreditch, Vurger Coâs vegan burgers are probably the most instagrammable weâve seen. That is, if you can resist demolishing yours before youâve opened your camera app. Weâre all about their MLT, a mushroom and barlotti bean with walnut pesto. This is what it must be like to be a drooling Homer Simpson.
Run, run like a brioche bun to: 6 Richmix Sq, E1 6LD.
5. Biffâs Jack Shack
This plant-based godsend is what the acronym OMFG was invented for. Just a year into business, Biffâs Jack Shack is actually a kitchen takeover at East Londonâs Haunt bar. Itâs attracted some see-rious media attention, not least the thundering sound of vegans running over the hills to try it out for themselves, and as the name suggests, their burgers (and no-chicken âwingzâ) are all made from jackfruit. But when it comes to choosing the best burger off the menu? We have no issue with the fact we might have to work our way through each of the five varieties again, just to check. Just so goddam good.
Hit the road, Jack: 182 Stoke Newington Road, N16 7UY
Omni-rable mentionsâŚ
And lest we forget to mention a few omni-friendly London burger bars: Camdenâs Cut and Grind Burger serves a rockinâ miso aubergine burger; Patty & Bun (various locations â each has a different menu, so make sure to check) cook up a stonkinâ tempeh and mushroom creation they call the âWhoopi Goldburgerâ; and Byron Burger (again, various locations) have recently launched a downright delicious vegan option they call their âBeetnikâ. Check âem out!
