After making a big splash in Notting Hill with their first restaurant last year, Holy Carrot already has a second site lined up, this time in Spitalfields.
Run by Irina Linovich and ex-Acme Fire Cult chef Daniel Watkins, it's a plant-based restaurant and one that has really found an audience. Of the original restaurant, we said it was "a plant-based menu that pushes what's possible with vegan food without feeling like boundaries have been set" with some really inventive approaches to that style of cooking.
We're some way off knowing what will be on the new menu, but here's a taster of what they're serving up at the time of writing:
- Koji bread, smoked mushroom chilli ragu or kimchi butter
- Coal roasted leeks, corn, almond, aji chili
- Winter hot pot, foraged wild mushrooms, smoked tofu, chestnut
As before, the restaurant will work with small-scale producers, foragers and regenerative farmers to get produce for the menu. Plus, for this opening, we're told that "the Holy Carrot concept evolve, and its design will take cues from the vibrancy of East London and the rich history of Spitalfields." We'll have to wait until later in the year to see how that turns out.
