Good London restaurant for lunch

[Gwylan]

My boss is taking me out for lunch and says that I can choose the venue. Naturally, I want to hit his wallet hard and get some decent scran but where should I go?

The catch is that I'm a veggie and I want to go a place that treats veggies with respect and not some sort of afterthought or nuisance (which rules out any Gordon Ramsay place or Le Gavroche).

Any of the master brains of NSC have any suggestions?

Cinnamon Club? Currytastic!

So now you veggies want respect, as well as weird food...I dunno, it's PC gone mad...

If you ring up the Ivy at around 2pm you can normally get a table.

Do you eat FISH? They're not very cuddly.

Atlantic Bar & Grill, Glasshouse Street

 

[Gwylan]

No, I don't eat fish and yes, I do want respect - shocking isn't it?

Cinnamon Club is a good shout.

Greggs.
£10 - 13 vegetable pasties. 1 doughnut. 6 hankies. Workers have boils, all miniature bags of yeast and parallelogram carrot.

What about chicken? It's not like it's an animal. If so try KFC.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Yes, I'm a KFC chicken-arian myself.

Fair play. There's only one thing I hate more than people who wear leather but think that wearing fur is 'evil', and that's vegetarians who eat fish. It's still an animal you dullards.

Spicy beanburger at Burger King maybe?

But fur, very simply, is murder for wear. Isn't it. While leather, they argue, is a leftover, and therefore more justifiably convenient.

Why not get on a train and go to Terre A Terre?

Disagree. What about rabbit fur?

My mother doesn't eat solid ground meat but eats fish and she is not a dullard.

















She's just a bit DIM is all.

I had to do a restaurant review earlier this week (Richmond - possibly a bit far out). Very amusing exercise. Trying to write something that doesn't sound like Michael Winner is actually quite difficult.

But you'll be well impressed with what I wrote about the vegetables. 'Perfectly cooked'. I know. Brilliant. Even the chef let me down. I got some quotes hoping he'd either come out with a load of pretentious nonsense, or even lamp me, preferably both, but he was quite normal.

 

[Meade's Ball]

You can wear a rabbit if you want. I don't mind. Just don't have the strength to rid myself of guilt in certain situations. One of them is to wear something with a face. Unless it's a Cure or Rage Against the Machine t-shirt. Or Teenwolf. I'd wear him.

I used to be a vegan, but then i 'matured' and became selfish enough to just consider my own fun rather than endlessly curve myself with standards.

Where abouts are you looking? I love Orrery on the top of Marylebone High St. although as a devout meat eater I'm not sure about their vegetarian options...Its Franco/British and does a set lunch menu...

There's the veggie place in Primrose Hill. I only went there once and it's was expensively and friendily beautiful. Some brilliant organic beer and wines and some waiters who just ask how you are and what you want rather licking your anus and wiping it on the price.
I loved it there, and if i get an aunt dead who leaves me a grand, i will go back.
