Top six: Veggie restaurants

Veg out by heading for one of London's top meat-free restaurants.

Blah! Blah! Blah! , 78 Goldhawk Road, W12 (020 8746 1337). A West London institution, producing as much in-house as possible. Their saffron pasta is legendary. Paper tablecloths come with crayons for the more artistic diner.

Futures, 2 Exchange Square, EC2 (020 7638 6341). Menu changes daily under the aegis of Spanish head chef, Angel. Resembling an oversized greenhouse, Futures offers eat-in or an alfresco terrace option. Takeaway also available.

Mildreds, 45 Lexington Street, W1 (020 7494 1634). In the core of Soho medialand, this spacious veggie eatery serves up its ever-popular 'burger of the day' by the cartload. Casual, no-frills d?cor.

Manna , 4 Erskine Road, NW3 (020 7722 8028). London's oldest vegetarian restaurant offers a subtle, urbane atmosphere with an exciting wine list and positively gourmet organic brie with roasted leek strudel. The perfect wind-down after a stroll on Primrose Hill.

Diwana, 121-123 Drummond Street, NW1 (020 7380 0730). Humble d?cor, but a delicious, authentic Bhel-Poori menu guarantees that this diminutive, out-of-the-way Indian is never short of clientele. Reasonably priced and BYO.

Fiction , 60 Crouch End Hill, N8 (020 8340 3403). Crouch End veggies swear by the wood-roasted butternut squash, and mock duck gamekeeper's pie. Complete with garden that's perfect for summer suppers.
