The Menu

With a focus on fresh, seasonal produce and globally inspired flavours, dining at The Gate is an experience that promises to delight the senses and challenge preconceived notions about plant-based cuisine.

Locations

Nestled behind the iconic Hammersmith Apollo, The Gate Hammersmith is the original Gate restaurant, opened in 1989, complete with a lovely summer terrace.

Our second location in Islington, situated opposite Sadler’s Wells Theatre, resides within a Grade II listed building, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary flair.

The Metro

“The Gate isn’t a good vegetarian restaurant, it’s simply a good restaurant.”
Marina O’Loughlin

The Guardian

“Tasty enough to seduce even the most hardened of carnivores, The Gate was feeding vegans long before it was trendy, and counts the likes of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow as fans.”
Rosie Hopegood

TimeOut

“Expect colourful, nourishing, eclectic dishes with plenty of ambition and serious veggie and vegan cred.”
