Tibits - Restaurant Review

By Asa, Vegan Pledge Buddy 2012

One of my favourite restaurants in London is Tibits, off Regent Street. It is a great place to go for so many reasons:

• Good location – city centre (nearest tubes Oxford Circus / Piccadilly Circus)
• Very nice atmosphere – although I do like low key places, it is nice to see that it is possible for a veggie/vegan restaurant to look posh!

• They have a buffet, so it’s quick and easy to get exactly what you want and you can have as little as you want too.
• It is a great place for lingering (well, apart from perhaps busy lunch times on weekends – less great then!); so if I’m waiting to see someone I’ll often pop into Tibits.
• The food is always reliably good.
• Meat eaters are often impressed with it – many have preconceptions that veggie places are in health food centres with rickety wooden chairs, so Tibits dispels this myth!
• They serve alcohol AND nice and innovative non-alcoholic drinks.

Since they’re not completely vegan, their vegan offer changes a bit, but I think they have improved their vegan dessert offer lately – sometimes there was only a fruit salad, but the last few times I’ve been there there’s also been at least one type of cake, a crumble and a chocolate/coconut mousse.
