A guide by Gillian McKeith
Eat well.
Everywhere.
Every restaurant here is selected against one standard: plant-forward cooking, organic and seasonal sourcing, wholefood ingredients, and honesty about where the produce comes from. If a kitchen does not meet it, it is not in the guide.

123V Browns, London
123V Browns.
London
123V Browns serves plant-based sushi that does not pretend to be fish. The Gauthier team builds nigiri, maki, crispy rice and bento boxes from vegetables, pulses and seaweed, and the result is light, fresh and genuinely satisfying. There are salads, bowls and elegant desserts too, plus a courtyard garden that makes the space feel calmer than its Mayfair address suggests.
From Gillian
"I have spent twenty years telling people to eat real food. This guide holds restaurants to the same standard I hold a kitchen at home: plants in the lead, organic and seasonal produce, wholefoods rather than powders, and no vagueness about where any of it came from. Meet that, and you are in. Do not, and you are not."
