In the heart of Soho, not far from the Trocadero and right next to the famous Zilli Fish th place stands out like a sore thumb but makes a welcome break from the usual shops and restaurants.

Vegan Routes offers both take away and eat-in options though I’d recommend the latter sincethe staff are genuine and friendly and you get to soak up the Soho atmosphere watching people passing by (often with quizzical expressions). Food-wise I had a green tea, a chickpea stew and a smoothies to finish and they were all excellent, I shall definitely return!

My favourite is a fried egg sandwich, on toasted white bread, buttered, with ketchup, made with two medium-cooked eggs. All the breakfasts are classic British fare, served very quickly and capably by friendly staff. The only downside is that it’s take-away only but most people are taking their brekkie onto the office anyway.

From what I gather, there are a few if them dotted around but the one I frequent is just down the road from Bank Tube at 56-57 Cornhill, EC3V 3PD.

Note: I’m posting from the iPhone now but I’ll stick a map up later.
