What: The Gate
In a nutshell: Vegetarian and vegan food from the experts
Summing it all up: Given they’ve been in business since the 80s, it’s no surprise The Gate know a thing or two about veggie and vegan cooking. Now they’re taking their plant-based knowhow to St John's Wood, with a new restaurant that’ll have brunch, lunch and a newly extended menu.
The low-down
Things are about to get a little bit exciting for the vegans and vegetarians of St John's Woods when The Gate Restaurant - they of the amazing plant-based breakfast - open their fourth base there this autumn.
We’re expecting to see all the usual favourites - going by the menus at their other restaurants - including:
- Miso-glazed aubergine topped with toasted cashew nuts, micro coriander & ponzu sauce
- Green dragon smoked tofu salad with teriyaki & sesame dressing
- Artichoke terrine with homemade sundried tomato & basil salsa
- Pecan & pear Eton mess with vegan meringue
- Mushroom Rotolo with a creamy cep sauce, french beans, sweet potato crisp
- Barley & parsnip cake with caponata, and lovage pesto
They’ve promised ‘variations on the menu’, so we’re expecting to see a few new dishes in addition to the ones above, plus a kid’s menu, a prix-fixe lunch, and a vegan weekend brunch - fingers crossed for more smoked tofu scramble.
It looks set to be a BIG space too, clocking in at 3,270 square feet (the deal - if you're an industry bod and interested in that sort of thing was brokered by CDG Leisure) and will be replacing Allitsen Road’s New York-style deli, Delisserie.
The Gate said: “We are extremely happy to be opening up our fourth site. St John's Wood is a top location and we are a stone’s throw from some other great restaurants in the area. The size of the unit is also brilliant, allowing us to do many different things with the space.”
