Super vegan cafe, a little bit overwhelming. The cafe is on the second floor, and pretty small within Neal's Yard. Went at 1-2pm on a Saturday and it was extremely busy, and I had to wait 20 minutes to get a seat. I enjoy vegan food but the main entree that I got, the ramen noodles, were a little bit too healthy for me, and I didn't really feel too full after. I purchased a raw chocolate tart which I enjoyed tremendously, it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, the restaurant was pretty expensive and I probably wouldn't come back because of the prices. read more

Wild food cafe is a cozy, comfortable restaurant nestled in Covent Garden they offer a great selection of raw food/ some cooked options. Majority of their food is prepared under 42 degrees C to preserve nutrition, enzymes and flavors. Wild food cafe is a place where you would want to go to relax unwind and honor the food you are eating. All of their food is organic and wild crafted. I was in a 5 star restaurant but for half the price. They are very creative with their dishes and it's also affordable. I ordered: from favorite to least fav. 1. Grilled butternut squash bruschetta- If you are crazy about butternut squash you have to get this. 2. Apricot spiced hummus - hummus done the right way, very tasty 3. Ayurvedic super salad - So many flavors in one dish and extremely healthy 4. Chickpea tofu salad - Not a fan of tofu, but I could eat this again Dessert 1. Wild banoffee pie - melts in your mouth and is so light and delicate, kind of like a toffee creamy flavor. Please see Instagram: @brandyespi for more food reviews all around the world. read more

Ambiance and food were stunning and unique. Highly recommend! Staff was friendly for being so busy, we recommend getting in near opening time. We were lucky to be the first in on a Sunday. The area is colorful and fun to hangout in and any wait for a seat is well worth it. read more

3.5 I truly enjoyed my experience, really nice staff! I'd recommend going slightly off hours cause it's a small space. Luckily I was by myself so I got a spot. I got the bruschetta (butternut squash as the bread w asparagus and tomatoes and vegan pesto + cheese), and was disappointed that I paid so much for vegetables, but I can't deny that it was delicious. The butternut squash replacement for bread is a bit sad, but I guess healthy. I got the lemon poppy bread with pistachio creme. Pass, it was pretty dry. The presentation is fantastic though, maybe this place is suited for those who appreciate the vegetarian/vegan style. And are willing to pay for it. read more

And they say you can't find good food in England.... thanks to this little natural plant-based food oasis we are stuffed to the hilt.... We ordered the Apricot Hummus on Raw Crackers, the Samurai Burger, the Quan Yin Bowl, and the Raw Chocolate Torte. All were worthy of the Clean Plate Club seal of approval! What a find, thanks Yelp! read more

This is a pretty popular place and it's all vegan - from burgers, sandwiches, crackers, salads, and desserts, there are a lot of choices to be had. Certainly a good option for the vegetarians/vegans out there. I like healthy food and crave a good salad, but felt like this place fell short for me compared to the price/quality/taste of salads elsewhere. This place is located up the stairs in Neal's Yard, next to Home Slice. Go up the stairs and you'll see a very colorful, small room. This is not the place to come with a large group - I'd say a party size of 4 is the maximum, but I'd recommend just coming solo or with one other person as there's not much room and there are mostly long communal tables. I got the Japanese kale salad. I normally really love kale salads, but this was a little too healthy-tasting for me, and I like salads and healthy things. I think it also had some butternut squash, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, almonds, beets, and maybe eggplant. Proportionally, it was a little too much kale to the other ingredients and didn't feel that balanced. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't a salad I'd be craving again. It was also a bit expensive, I paid around £10.50 for the takeaway salad here, if I had eaten here, it was somewhere around £12-13, which is not cheap for a salad. I have to be honest, a salad at Pret-a-Manger for 1/2 the price would have probably been just as satisfying. I'd be willing to give this place another shot - maybe my salad was just off that day, but it is pricier than most other salad places in the area. If you're looking for vegan food, this is probably a decent bet, but if you're looking for just something healthy, there are a lot of other options nearby. read more

Sold food in a fun part of town. My friend suggested we meet here. I had a little trouble finding it but when I did I was thrilled with the little courtyard it overlooked. The menu makes it very easy to navigate food restrictions. It appears the menu is 100% gluten free. I have celiac and did not get sick!! Always exciting. My husband and I split a burger and salad and it was plenty of food. read more

This place was my first experience in London's vegan-restaurant scene and I couldn't be more pleased with experience. The place was kind of hard to find initially as it is located in an upstairs alley way. However a large sign guides you in welcomingly to the door. I went on a Saturday and the place was PACKED!! They have a small bar space but anyone of any size may find it somewhat cramped. I had the the soup of the day and the Wild Burger and they were both delicious. Additionally ALL of the wait-staff were friendly, personable and attentive. A definite try. read more

Wild Food Cafe - Burger with kale chips - Vegetarian Near Me - London, XGL

So, I came here with very the almost no expectations. I have recently turned to a plant-based diet and the only reason I was looking forward to come here was that I wouldn't have to hunt for something I could eat--the whole menu would be suited to someone like me. But then again, with everything on the menu being plant-based and cooked below 42°F, I failed to see how my palate would be happy after the meal. I was so wrong. And I am happy for that. I dragged an omnivore friend along with me and both of us enjoyed our meals. I had the cult sandwich with kale chips and it was divine. The cashew nut aioli it came with was the bomb. And I could've happily gorged on those kale chips till I was ready to burst. My friend had the pizza which was amazing too. Now it wasn't your usual pizza and the base was made of an almond and butternut squash. And it was smeared with some amazing marinara. Overall, very satisfying--even for the omnivore. We had the smoothies--white zen & forgotten ecstasy--too and they were delicious. But the star of the show had to be the wild banoffee pie. I can't even begin to tell you how good it was. Don't go plant based, don't eat all the other stuff on the menu, but do come here for that banoffee pie. You will not be disappointed. I could eat here practically everyday! read more

There are only a handful of Vegan restaurants that I'd go to in London and Wild Food Cafe is one of them. The smoothies are just great. And they have kale chips, my all time fav healthy snack.. The only downside is it's very small and when the restaurant is busy. It can be a bit of a squeeze. read more

We had the most fantastic lunch at wild today. I was impressed that they had Kombucha on their menu, which was delightful. I ordered the pizza which was great, and my mom had the veggie burger. They both came with small salads with some arugula in with the greens. The atmosphere was also really special. We sat next to two other women and they gave us recommendations. It was really nice. read more

I was here twice during my time in London and my experiences have been awesome! The raw hummus was delicious (I especially enjoyed the crackers) and my salad was a great combination of figs and hazelnuts. Although the portions are small, they're really delicate and delicious. The servers are all really friendly and they're willing to sit down and explain everything about the menu to you. When I was looking for a snack/dessert, one of the servers literally spent 15 minutes with me, answering all my questions. The ambiance is really cute as it overlooks Neals Yard. For a raw vegan place, Wild Food is a must visit in London and I'd recommend it to anyone! read more

This place is in such a nice area. The exterior is beautiful as well. I especially enjoyed the colorful and motivating stairway up to the restaurant. The options are food are also great and incredibly healthy. I enjoy fresh and healthy food, so this was right up my alley. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best and the Venus Bowl was OK. I wound up sitting at the bar and had to call for people when I wanted to order and to pay. They didn't seem to acknowledge me much. It was a bit frustrating. The Venus Bowl also wasn't that great. It felt a bit dry and definitely not worth 15 pounds for one dish. I wouldn't recommend this place as a must-go for friends visiting London. The area it's in is nice to walk around though. read more

I hadn't been to Neals Yard for a while, so glad to see that nothing much has changed! A bit confused about the name, though - and having done some googling, it turns out that the Wild Food Cafe did indeed replace my former favourite World Food Cafe. It still looks the same, and you have to climb up the same steep staircase, even the interior hasn't changed - and they are still vegetarian! But what used to be a cheap and cheerful veggie treat with dishes from around the world has become a slightly more serious restaurant. Well, at least the prices are serious. I enjoyed my fresh fennel soup despite its £6 price tag. read more

To summarize: the service was pretty flaky and sporadic, but the food was to die for. I had a pretty awful time finding this place because it is on a tiny side street called Neal's Yard....and I smartly kept wandering around Neal's St. So just be aware of that possible mistake. We went up and sat down on the communal tables (only communal tables or bar seating) and could not for the life of us get ourselves to be noticed. It is a pretty small restaurant and the waiter gave a menu to the group that sat next to us, but would not come to greet us or give us a menu. I tried to make eye contact with him but every time we would engage he would look away. Finally a waitress at the bar realized we had not been helped yet and gave us a menu. This is basically how the service continued to work, the wait staff is not assigned particular jobs, they are just supposed to walk around and take care of whatever needs to be done and I felt that this method left room for many gaps in their service. I ordered the pizza and my mom got the soup of the day. Once we got the food we were hooked! The food is quite expensive but the freshness, flavors, and combination of ingredients made it all worth it! We were oohing and aahing at every bite! Then the pains with the wait staff kicked in again. I had noticed a specials dessert menu on the far wall, but it annoyingly had the items written in alternating dark purple and blue chalk. The dark purple was completely impossible to read against the black chalkboard so I went to ask for a dessert menu. The waitress completely dismissed me and pointed to the board and said that that was their menu and walked away. Wrong. That was just the specials dessert menu and I could not even read it! We then asked another waitress and she kindly brought us the menu. The two desserts I wanted were out of stock so we just got the chocolate cake which was decent. An overall disappointing experience in terms of service, but the main dishes were so delicious. read more

The Wild Food Cafe is an eclectic little restaurant on the second floor of a building in the Covent Garden district. It has an open kitchen layout and bench seating so do not expect a private dining experience as you will be shoulder to shoulder with your fellow diners. The atmosphere is typical of a vegan restaurant with inspirational messages about sustainability and hippy murals on the walls. The food unfortunately ruins any chance of a good review due to the incredible blandness. I ordered the burger with a side of kale chips. Each of the dishes were very tasteless and the burger was very dry even with the sauce that was on it. The strange bun is a dry disk of pressed grains which is quite tough and heavily detracts from the tastes of the interior of the burger. It also is brittle and falls apart making it required to use a knife and fork. The kale chips are also equally dull, which is sad because a little cayenne, rosemary, or cumin would definitely vastly improve the flavor of that side dish. Kale does not need to be like cardboard. I wanted so much to like this place, but the only redeeming factor is the decently priced wine. I will try back in a few months to see if they have improved. read more

Struggling between 3 and 4 stars but ultimately opted on three. Likes: cute space with lots of light and air and a good vibe on the second floor of a building. I had the soup of the day which was really yummy and the bruschetta was very fresh, tasty, and carb free. Staff was friendly and checked in at a good cadence. Opportunities: service was really really slow. It took almost 20 mins for our mains to come and another 15 for the dessert. The other dishes ordered were just ok. I had high hopes for the Indian inspired burger but it tasted really odd. The jack fruit open faced appetizer was meh. Kale chips were weird and felt stale, pretty expensive for what you actually get. read more

After my conversion to veganism a few weeks ago, I jumped at the chance to come to another raw/vegan/vegetarian restaurant, dragging along a companion who was likely not as enthused as I was to be there, but was nonetheless agreeably game about visiting. Wild Bird Cafe is nestled in a building in Neal's Yard, in an upstairs--I'm not sure you'd find it and wander in if you hadn't made it a destination to begin with. We went on a stifling hot and muggy day, and there was no AC, so the temperature hung down on us. Upon first choosing to sit by the windows (there is a large area just open to air) we promptly change our minds when I cannot handle the sunlight attacking my face and choose to sit at the bar, while we try to make do with the slug-like progression of the ceiling fan directly above us and the desk fan next to us. The counter-space/bar-space separates us from the "kitchen," so you can see everything happening, as well as all the employees making it happen. Bowls of courgettes, peppers, and lemons litter the space. The walls are hung with trippy, LSD-like paintings, and the chirpy employees are of the dreadlock-wearing, top-knot-tying variety (I spotted a Tree of Gondor tattoo on our server's leg). The menu includes things like 'turkish olives with activated almonds and 'Organic gluten-free un-baked sundried tomatoe & sunflower seed cracker.' We both order a 'vegan cider'--I ask the server what that even means and she tells me that usually the preservatives in regular cider isn't vegan--and he gets the raw chocolate berry cake, and I go for the lemon cheezecake (also raw). The lemon cheesecake was bright and had a strong lemon flavor--you wouldn't be able to tell that all its ingredients were raw--and his cake was dense and moist, but not too sweet at all. I can't speak for the food, but I'm sure it is delicious, the servers were incredibly nice, and if you enjoy the hippie-esque vibes of vegan restaurants, you should definitely add this on the list. read more

This really is vegan heaven! My husband and I who have been vegans since 1991 and 1990 respectively, went to this totally vegan and organic restaurant the other day and plan on returning again and again. The food is amazing and the staff are wonderful. Harry was warm and welcoming, charming and knowledgeable. I love desserts and so began with them. The raw cheesecake was not only aesthetically pleasing, but may well have been the best I have ever tasted. The banana bread, which I began the meal with as well was delicious and also presented in such a beautiful manner. Next, I had the sushi and sweet potato fries. This is definitely the place to visit if you are vegan and even if you are not, do try it. You will not regret it. We went a second time and it was just as wonderful as the first. My spouse had the raw courgette pasta and he loved it. I had desserts to begin, the raw cheesecake and the lemon verbena tart and sushi. Delicious! Even more delightful than the food was the wonderful person who served us, Reda. She was so warm and loving, exactly the kind of person you hope to meet in this life and she helps make this an absolute all time favorite in our traveling life. This restaurant knows that the people who work there make the food even better tasting than it already is, for they are amazing people serving amazing food. read more

I'm kind of torn about this place. On one hand, the food is always delicious, inventive and plated beautifully. On the other hand, it takes nine years to actually get your food. Lest you think I am exaggerating, during my last visit, I spent exactly 1 hr 5 minutes at the venue; 55 min ordering and waiting and 10 minutes eating. Again, the food was great and I keep coming back but by 30 minutes in, I am usually in a strange opposite zen state where I am unable to make conversation with my companions and only able to size up the other diners; who came after I was seated, who can I destroy to obtain my entree first, how are some people just eating thier meals and ignoring the torture being doled out to the rest of us, WHAT IS LIFE? And then the food finally comes and it's so pleasing and delicious and my anxiety disappears and I am so happy to be here and so glad that I waited and the murderous impatience of fellow diners still waiting to be served seems so unjustified now. I will probably be back. Wahhh. read more

I really, really, really wanted to love this place- so colourful in a wonderful setting, massively allergy aware and I ruddy love vegan food, but it wasn't to be so... We walked up, and although there weren't many people there, it felt like there was nowhere to sit as the arrangements are a little odd- so we sat at the counter. We were less than a metre away from some of the staff, and we weren't greeted or even looked at. They weren't rude, but it was like we weren't even there, which was just a bit odd. We sat for ten minutes, and we just didn't feel inspired or like we were really very welcome. And when we were ignored because two of the staff were busy spooning behind the counter like it was a bank holiday morning, we decided to go. I'll try it again at some point because the food looks amazing, I don't know if it was just a bad day! read more

I just HAD to try dessert because I was so impressed with my meal and I was so glad I did. The lemon cheesecake was not only so beautiful on the plate, it was delicious. The staff was so very nice.

I would give this place just a hair above 3 stars. There were highs and lows to my visit. I'll start with the high points. The food is very inventive. Everything I ate on the special meal platter was novel and intriguing. The jamaican platter had 4 servings of different raw and vegetarian creations that were arranged artfully on the plate. Visual appeal was definitely a strength. On the flip side, the meal took a very long time to prepare, especially considering everything was pre-made and just needed plating. The staff used heart shaped cookie cutters to later different components of the meal in a contained heart on the plate. I think it took about 20 minutes to produce 4 plates! Unfortunately, half of the menu was no longer available for dinner - we arrived at 7:30pm or so. There was also quite a bit of miscommunication with and by the staff. We ordered half orders of the daily special meal, received full orders unknowingly and were billed for the full portion. We also had to ask several times for water, the bill, our drinks, etc. The servers were, however, very apologetic and ended up charging us for the half portion we intended to order. I think they have a few logistical kinks to work out, but there is a lot of potential for a great experience here. read more

Great spot for those in London that are looking for a healthy food joint...especially raw food place. This place makes eating out healthy, finally. I enjoyed the food. It was tasty and presentation was on point. But the portions were definitely small for the prices. Also, it takes forever to get your food.

I've wanted to try Wild Food Cafe for over a year now but every time I go I get confused about the line, and how all the tables work. It turns out you just wait at the door and they plop you on a table corner or bench whenever one becomes available. Their menu is much more vast than you'd realise at first and while it is pricey the food is delicious. I had a few issues trying to find something to eat with my onion allergy, but they were accommodating and I was able to have the falafel wrap which was delicious, sweet potato fries which are always a winner, then I topped it off with their delicious chocolate smoothie, and split a chocolate/caramel raw cake and nut free bannoffee cake with my friend, both of which were delicious and very rich! The whole place is very busy, a little scattered and disorganised but there is no question that the food is great. It's not easy to find, given it's in Neal's Yard and then up the stairs but it's well worth it if you can deal with sitting at a table with 6 random strangers! I will certainly be back. read more

I came to Wild Food Cafe for an afternoon pick-me-up after a long day of walking and exploring London. My cousin was getting a smoothie, and I didn't want to be jealous so decided to get one too. I chose the Alp-accino because the waiter told me it was voted the best drink in London, so I had to try it. The Alp-accino is a coffee smoothie, with interesting sounding ingredients such as moss and medicinal mushrooms (what even is that?) so I was a bit apprehensive at first to order it. We stood at the bar and watched as our drinks were made. Each smoothie has tons of different components, and the guy making them made them all look beautiful, with different toppings and whipped (coconut) cream. Mine ended up being delicious. I was so impressed that such a "healthy" smoothie didn't taste that healthy, it was more like a coffee & chocolate milkshake. Also coconut whipped cream is incredibly delicious...even better than normal whipped cream. I would definitely come back here next time I'm in London, but if I lived there I don't think it would be a go-to place because it is really expensive (7 pounds for a smoothie...). However, everything on the menu is plant-based, so this is a great spot to go with vegan or veggie friends. read more

Really enjoyed this not so "hidden" gem (now). I am a meat eater and I would have prevent ordering salad at all costs when going out to eat. However since I've been to this place I am now eating less meat and more vegetable. The way this place does its magic to the raw ingredients, it still make my taste bud dancing on air with questions of how and what and this can't be raw food!

Fueled by sourdough, mushrooms, and cocoa/fig/date shake, I roam London. I'm in the UK for work and wish I could bring Wild Food Cafe back with me to New England.

And the Forgotten Ecstasy smoothie is not to be missed - raw cocoa, figs, dates, coconut, and all kinds of goodies left me smiling but not heavy as I headed out to hit bookshops and explore the city before returning to work.
