Vegetarian and Organic
Restaurants - A Guide to The Best
Vegetarian and Organic Restaurants
In the UK
There are vast numbers of vegetarian
and organic restaurants all over
the UK. Some are both, many try
to source all their ingredients
locally or offer fair trade produce.
There are even more restaurants
which, while not being wholly organic
or vegetarian, offer a great selection
of food suitable for vegetarians
and customers who try to stick
mainly to their organic principles
wherever possible.
And, of course, many of these
restaurants are also suitable for
vegans.
Here is a sample selection:
