You might be halfway through your meal at Mirror & Vegan before you realise you’re not eating any meat, and that’s because the plates here are engineered to coax the most savoury, meaty flavours from plant-based produce. Vegan food gets a new reputation at this charming pasta-house that serves up healthy fare that doesn’t scrimp on the indulgence of Italian cuisine. The produce here includes non-dairy cheese and cream, natural Yunnan fungus (for all that meaty umami), and of course seasonal vegetables. Vegan cooking is almost like a magic trick. Behold the vegan Spaghetti Bolognese, made with rich tomatoes, hearty proteins, and vegetables, for all the flavour with none of the guilt. Or the Penne with Pesto Sauce, a classic combination except here the mountains of tasty cheese that go into this are non-dairy, and good for your carbon footprint (if not your waistline).

Vegan food absolutely doesn’t have to be bland and austere, look only at the Pasta di Semola with Black Truffle & Smoked Cheddar Cheese Sauce, full of rich, comforting textures, the heady aroma of black truffle, and the gooey goodness of smoked cheddar. Then there’s classic pastas that are already vegetarian and vegan: the Porcini Risotto, made with a variety of fresh and dried mushrooms, and the Risotto with Truffle Asparagus, simply remind you that all cuisines have their healthy, meat-free stars. Do your body a favour and become acquainted with this lovely vegan restaurant, you may be surprised at how easily you’ll be persuaded! (Apr 2018)
