My fave vegan restaurant in London - Edit
This is the best vegan place in London, hands down!!!!
Read moreObsessed with their mushroom dishes and drinks (the Lions mane hot chocolate is amazing) ☺️
Also you definitely have to try the Oyster mushroom wings. They are just too good!
Also, they have board games so it’s fun to play them while waiting for the food ☺️
One million stars/10
Pros: Amazing food, Amazing drinks , Really cool atmosphere

Creative vegan options in innovative space - Edit
Too many things on the menu we wanted to try. The artichoke and samphire roll was delish with a stellar brioche. Must come back. Desperate to try the tofu karaage and gochujang wings.

Amazing food and vibes - Edit
The food is some of the best we have had in a very long time, the flavours were amazing and what they can do with a mushroom isn't worth knowing, the wings and the brownie were standout.
Read moreThe staff were super friendly, we visited on the day of the national animal rights march so it was unsurprisingly very busy. Staff were upfront with wait time and apologised for the wait time after as well but honestly we didn't feel like we were kept waiting.
We were sad to see that some of the items on the online menu were no longer on the actual menu but it didn't stop us having a great meal
Pros: Every meal/drink is a flavor bomb , Friendly staff, Good vibes
Cons: Website menu needs updating

Lovely shack— hippy/chill/beachy vibes - Edit
Nice staff, good food, great chill atmosphere. Just would’ve like more cream or some syrup to put on top but I’m an American that likes sweet things so maybe that’s just me— but def good without added sweetness too!
Read morePros: French toast, Really atmospheric
Cons: No syrup lol I’m American 🤷🏻♀️😂 still good tho

Excellent hippy spot - Edit
Second visit to Love Shack and it's still excellent. Really nice hippy community vibe with lots of outdoor covered seating and wood. The food is delicious and they're also doing interesting things with mushroom drinks and such. Highly recommend!

Absolut Loooove - Edit
So happy that we found the Love Shack ❤️ Really good food, fantastic service and the quirky style just sets the perfect scene for a great time.
Read moreWe had the cheese burgers, Jack fruit tacos and a kimchi burger, with a serving of the wings to share - plenty of food also if you are really hungry, all super tasty and beautifully styled.
We also had a few drinks, I had the best Negroni I've ever had, they know how to mix a cocktail 😍
So I can only recommend the Love Shack❤️
Pros: Perfect food , Dog friendly , Amazing cocktails

Amazing vibe and great food - Edit
The music gives a super chill vibe. On top of the decor that is just adorable, peaceful and a bit beachy. Couches everywhere, hammocks, games, etc. A very beautiful spot and the food is really good too!

Quirky eatery that delivers the goods! - Edit
A fully vegan restaurant serving a wide range of dishes, covering breakfast through to dinner! All of the food coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic - I opted for the French Toast which was well priced for the portion size. Toasted Brioche with berries and apple honey. Wasn’t an easy choice as all of the other brunch options on the menu looked great! The space itself is quirky and eclectic and would probably make for a great night out as well.

Super cool vegan place - Edit
Really great vibes and staff. The food was very tasty although slightly pricey. I got the kimchi chickn burger, it was good but only tasted of mushrooms and absolutely zero kimchi. The wait was also very long and the mains arrived before the starters

An old EastEnd vibes and Amazing food - Edit
On entry the vibe of the restaurant felt very relaxed and informal, we arrived early and were asked if we wanted a table or sofa, we opted for a table - we had not been here before the decor felt quirky yet unintentional, the waiting staff were dressed down which made it feel even more chilled and inviting.
Read moreWe found this place accidentally and looking at the menu of the "Sentia Drinks" was our deciding factor.
The big plate menu was pretty basic to what we've had before but the small plate menu was super marvelous - we had: Chipotle Slaw ****
Kimchi ****
Olives *****
Smoked Jackfruit Taco ****
Small Chikn Caesar Salad ***
Oyster Shrooms: we couldn't decide which to get so we went with Honey Mustard & Gochujang sauce ******
No Sin Duck ******
For drinks we had Sentia Drinks - Raspberry G Spot
So amazing 'Sentia Red' is our fave so easy choice!!
For dessert we had Blueberry Cheesecake but I think it was a Strawberry Cheesecake *****
Lion's Mane Chaga Brownie with a vanilla ice cream ******
All in all this was an excellent experience the staff were accommodating to us with another small table to fit our many small plates 😁
Trying so many of the small plates allowed us to really enjoy the different flavours on the menu and as we couldn't finish all the food so we even took some home.
Definitely a Date night to remember and we'll recommend Love Shack to our friends and family.
Pros: Oyster Mushrooms , No Sin Duck, Raspberry G Spot
Cons: No heating in winter

Beautiful Place to Be ❤️ - Edit
Food is amazing. I've tried most of the dishes already. Burritos and wings might be the favourite and looking forward for deserts next time. Staff is friendly, the place has a home vibe and they run really cool events such as Love Jam in their "secret" room

Great atmosphere! - Edit
I came here a couple of times, food is good but sometimes could be better in terms of consistency and flavour. Drinks are great, I had cacao and various teas and was happy with those. Generally the place has an amazing community vibe, and runs interesting events too. Highly recommend visiting!
