Pied à Terre
Michelin-starred Fitzrovia restaurant with serious vegan tasting menus, French technique, Greek inflection and polished Charlotte Street theatre.
Pied à Terre is proof that plant-based fine dining need not arrive wearing sensible shoes. The Fitzrovia restaurant has long been one of London’s serious dining rooms, and its vegan tasting menus make the point with French technique, Greek inflection and the confidence of a kitchen that does not see vegetables as a consolation prize.
Pied à Terre holds a Michelin star, and the praise stands: this is a dining room where vegan guests are not handed a polite side menu while everyone else gets the real show.
Expect colour, precision and a certain Charlotte Street glamour. Pied à Terre is especially valuable for mixed tables because it removes the old fine-dining anxiety around dietary preference. Everyone gets ceremony. Everyone gets craft. And the vegan diner, for once, does not have to pretend that another roasted cauliflower steak is thrilling.
