Ethos | Fat Gay Vegan

Because London has enough bloody vegetarian restaurants already.

We need VEGAN restaurants and lots of them.

Anyway, a vegetarian restaurant near Oxford Circus where vegan items are labelled and you pick what you want and pay by weight… sounds familiar right?

There were lots of vegan options in the savoury food section and the presentation of the dishes was visually pleasing.

It’s great to see a London restaurant using seitan and the Seitan Stroganoff (it’s hidden somewhere on my plate) was particularly tasty.

Ethos, restaurant review: The buffet system needs a lot of work at ...

As per Bill Granger's recipes (see link below), tomorrow sees the start of Meat Free Week, created to raise awareness of our over-reliance on animals for food.

To the right, three podiums crammed with dishes, overflowing with all manner of good things from around the world.

You take a table, go and load up a plate, take it to the counter, order drinks, have your food weighed, pay, return to your table and have a nice time.

It's the right gesture but I am not overly confident the place will stay in business if they keep going like this… Luckily, some of the food is good enough to negate the chaotic system.

But the flavour is a foolishly polite curry tinge – and again with the diced carrot?

Ethos, London: vegetarian restaurant review - olive magazine

Things were pretty hectic at Ethos when doors opened last year.

Despite the Ethos mantra – ‘meat-free cuisine that tastes as good as it is for you’ – it is easy to eat unhealthily here: mini pizzas, lasagne, fritters, fries and macaroni cheese all taste good, but they bully the greener options into one corner of the podium.

Strangely, although Ethos serves everything from Korean to Italian, Thai and Japanese food, we didn’t experience any flavour clashes.

Probably not sweet enough for most people, but we thought it was a well-executed experiment – just the kind of thing we’d like to see Ethos do more of.

In fact, almost everything we disliked about our first visit to Ethos has changed, while at the same time the positives – including Nordic décor, a cosy fireplace in one corner, and half a dozen silver birch trees surrounding the seating area – have remained.

Vegetarian London: Ethos Restaurant Review | Londonist

In this series, we review restaurants from an entirely vegetarian angle.

While some restaurants will be specifically vegetarian, others will be mainstream.

Along the way, we’ll try to find out, as far as possible, whether chicken stock, cheese made from animal rennet, gelatine, fish sauce and so on are not lurking in the supposedly vegetarian dishes.

ETHOS Restaurant | Buffet-Style Vegetarian Dining In Fitzrovia ...

ETHOS Restaurant | Fitzrovia Home is where the heart is.

Which, by definition, also means that home is at ETHOS, where a sizeable range of Japanese, Southeast Asian, French, German, Israeli, Italian, Korean, Indian, Mexican and Lebanese vegetarian dishes are presented – buffet style – along a number of individual self-service pods.

Now there is, in life, as you well know, a tried and tested rule that ‘self service restaurants are weird’.

Ethos | Restaurants in Fitzrovia, London

It’s near Oxford Circus, it’s vegetarian, it’s a self-serve buffet and you pay for your food by weight.

Adding to the gimmicky potential, on any given day the main menu might include more than a dozen dishes from the diverse cuisines of Japan, Southeast Asia, Italy, Korea, India, Mexico and Lebanon – and anywhere else that does brilliant vegetarian dishes – plus a few of their own creations.

Rather than worrying about whether Thai sweetcorn fritters are complemented by a lovage-laced tomato and bread panzanella salad, the world tour of dishes becomes a mini-adventure in flavour, colour and texture.

It was with their own more offbeat creations that the kitchen showed a less confident hand – a dish of green lentils and mandolin-thin kohlrabi had good texture, but the flavours were not the best match.

Ethos opens early in the day with a short breakfast menu (avocado on toast, fruit salad, granola, porridge), then rolls on through to lunch and dinner, perfect for Christmas shoppers seeking sustenance.
