Five Exceptional Vegan Restaurants In Euston (London): Food Worth Waiting For!
1. Tortilla
Mexican cuisine with endless vegan options.
Worked up an appetite whilst on your way to Euston? Well, look no further than Tortilla as this restaurant is not only right outside of Euston Station, but they also do a fun ‘Build-it-your-way’ concept where you can choose an endless combination of ingredients in your burrito, taco, salad bowl, naked burrito, nachos or quesadilla.
This rather small restaurant has sleek contemporary decor and some quiet seats inside to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy station. But if you love soaking in the rays whilst enjoying some tasty grub, you can also grab a seat on their outdoor terrace.
With their ‘Build-it-your-way’ concept, the choices are endless at this restaurant that serves authentic California-style Mexican food. The staff will prepare your dish with any toppings of your choice, and you can start your ‘Build-it-your-way’ base with either rich tomato rice, zesty coriander rice or lettuce, followed by black beans or pinto beans and then their seasonal veg, or smoky vegan chilli no carne.
You then choose your preferred toppings and a choice of either fiery, medium or mild salsa. But we recommend their crowd favourite which is the mild pico de gallo salsa because of its perfect fusion of flavours.
As this is a Mexican restaurant, you should definitely try the burrito. Those are affordable and come in huge portions – no wonder they boast that their Burrito is as big as your head!
And as an added bonus, if you’ve got an early train to catch and need a quick breakfast for your onward journey, this restaurant opens as early as 7am from Thursday to Saturday and 8am from Monday to Wednesday.

2. Vantra Eden
Vegan fare cooked perfectly to ensure maximum nutrition content.
Established since 1999, Vantra Eden is within a 10 minute walk from Euston Station and is an exclusively vegan restaurant.
This hole-in-the-wall is quirky with makeshift al-fresco dining option and a very relaxed and cosy feel, partly thanks to the comfy seats and polite and attentive staff.
This restaurant is very passionate about promoting a sustainable vegan lifestyle, and this is shown in each dish as those are prepared with some of the finest quality ingredients and also made using gentle cooking methods to ensure maximum nutrition content. That’s exactly why they use three key techniques to prepare their dishes: raw, fermented and steamed.
In our opinion, Vantra is the perfect spot for an energizing lunch, whether that’s a quick grab-and-go, or a leisurely sit down during your London explores. From plant-based foods, organic coffee, to fresh-pressed juice, you’ll be spoiled for choice here.
One of their popular dishes here is the Lentil Pumpkin Soup which also includes ginger, cumin, mustard seed and coriander. Their Nyonya Curry is popular too, and that’s a coconut based curry with chickpeas, pineapple, pumpkin, exotic herbs and spices.
