With the sun shining all we want to do is sit outside and sip on an ice cold drink, am I right? One of the best things about the weather getting warmer is being able to sit outside at your favourite foodie hotspot. We’ve rounded up our favourite vegan restaurants with outdoor seating so you know where to go this summer for some alfresco dining!

Farm Girl - 59A Portobello Rd, London W11 3DB
When it comes to vegan café’s, Farm Girl is a classic! Their menu caters to all different diets and there’s a reason why you’ll always have to queue to get a table on the weekends. The atmosphere and interior inside is gorgeous and if you’re lucky you’ll get a table in the outside courtyard. We love the sourdough toast with almond butter & strawberry jam. However their avocado toast is also a classic, with sprinkled pomegranate on top, whats isn’t there to love? Each dish makes the perfect Instagram post, guaranteed to give all your followers food envy. It’s simply a great place to enjoy food with friends this summer!

Wild Food Café - 14 Neal’s Yard, Covent Garden WC2H 9DP
Walk through the cute and quaint alleys of Covent Garden and you’ll stumble across Neal’s Yard, then find the colourful oasis that is Wild Food Café! It’s been around for years and is famous for its innovative way of creating delicious natural dishes made purely from whole foods. Fancy some courgetti spaghetti with tomato sauce and pine nut parmesan? Or a wild banoffee pie? You can sit inside the colourful restaurant or now that it’s warmer enjoy the sunshine on their outside seating area.

Tanya’s Café - 35 Ixworth Pl, Chelsea, London SW3 3QX
Situated in the heart of Chelsea, Tanya’s Café offers delicious, organic vegan food. In this wooden filled restaurant that’s got plants all over the walls you really do feel close to nature. One favourite of ours on the menu is the raw lasagne, made with a cashew almond ricotta and mushroom and walnut “meat”. The rainbow pad thai should also be mentioned, colourful veg in an amazing peanut butter satay sauce, the perfect meal for warm days.

Detox Kitchen - 10 Mortimer St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 3JJ
Detox Kitchen is one of those classic places where you can always count on for good food. Either go for a smoothie bowl breakfast or enjoy the salad bar for lunch. They offer such a huge range of the most colourful and delicious salads, protein options for both vegans and meat eaters and the best part is dessert. From flavourful ginger cake to a gooey beetroot and raspberry brownie, they really know how to please your sweet tooth. Both locations have a lovely outside seating area which is perfect for some sunshine while you’re enjoying your juice!

Farmacy - 74 Westbourne Grove, London W2 5SH
Farmacy has been a popular place ever since they opened their doors in Notting Hill. Except for being a beautiful space to sit and enjoy a botanical cocktail, they’ve got a great menu that’ll get anyone excited! The chocolate chip waffles are a great way to start the day and if you’re sticking around for lunch we highly recommend the Macro Bowl. The nachos and guacamole are also the perfect sharing starter for you and your girlfriend’s. You can either sit inside or outside the front of the restaurant. Rumour has it they’ve just started serving Kombucha on tap too, we’re sold!
