Plant Club - Gluten free, Vegan & Vegetarian Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria 49 Green Lanes, London N16 9BU

"Very quirky place, easy to miss from the outside. Within the restaurant it's like an indoor/outdoor vibe which means it's *very* cold inside if it's cold outside. They have patio heaters and such but if you want to be toasty while you eat then you might want to visit in summer instead. The staff were very friendly although we were hovering at the front desk for about 5 minutes when we arrived not sure where to go and not being greeted. The food itself is delicious, we got the garlic bread with cheese, roasted potatoes, margherita pizza and the truffle gnocchi. Really enjoyed it and reasonably priced. They use good quality cheese substitutes here. We also got the panna cotta which unfortunately we did not like at all. The only slight negative was that they had an issue with their alcohol license on the night we went - we took our own bottle of wine as suggested but had to pay a corkage fee which seemed a little unfair when we didn't have the option to purchase wine at the restaurant. We paid it without complaint as we are always happy to support independent vegan businesses, but I hope they rethink it for the future as it would be off putting to some people. Overall though we would definitely return."

"Absolutely delicious. My friend is coeliac and often doesn’t get to eat out because of cross-contamination but this place is totally safe and totally amazing, even for lovers of gluten like myself! We ordered lots of items to share between six people, including the truffled gnocchi, etna pizza, truffled mushroom pizza, panacotta and dessert pizza with pistachio crème. It was all so good. Honestly, words and photos cannot describe… just please go and try for yourself!"

"Such a great dinner. Everything balanced and perfectly executed. Hospitality was superb to go with the food. The tomato salad with onion, olives and capers could not have been any more perfect. Also a shout out to the Etna Pizza. I can’t wait to come back once they get fully licensed."

"By far one of the best vegan food experience I had around London. The meticulous attention to details and incredibly passionate chefs will take you into an almost surreal tasting experience. The strictly vegan+gluten free menu will leave you pleasantly surprised by the astonishing quality and taste. Great drink selection but unfortunately they don’t have an alcohol free beer just yet. They do have however plenty of other choices as well as an alcohol free wine we didn’t try. On top of that, you will guided by extremely friendly and professional staff. I can’t wait to eat at Plant Club again."

"This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to! Their pizzas are incredible and the dough is magic - you couldn’t tell it was gluten-free. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the cheese… was something else. Unlike all the other vegan cheese I’ve tried, this one didn’t taste of anything else but cheese! The owners are so sweet and the service was incredible. You must try the beetroot salad too!"
