Burger & Beyond
Offering an even more epicurean take on the classic, this fabulously filthy stack from Burger & Beyond brings together a panko-crusted mushroom patty with caramelised onions, greens and smoked garlic mayo, then smothers the whole thing in ooey-gooey vegan raclette. We can confidently say it's not one for those who like to finish a meal with a clean shirt.
Chalet Suisse At Somerset House
Just when you thought Somerset House's ice skating was the main event, they're coming in hot with Chalet Suisse - a collaboration between Jimmy Garcia and Switzerland tourism. The alpine pop-up is open until the new year, giving you the chance to try vegan cheese fondue in London that's a mix of plant-based fromage, coconut cream and truffled mushroom puree in a gorgeous setting.
The Cheese Cellar At La Fauxmagerie
After the best vegan fondue in London? It's time to check out The Cheese Cellar at La Fauxmagerie, where the UK's first plant-based cheesemonger are delving out vats of the stuff laced with hoppy and smoky flavours to share between two. Dunk sourdough bread, 'pepperoni', roasted balsamic mushrooms and more, all while sipping your choice of prosecco, lager or elderflower saison.
222 Vegan Cuisine
A top pick for a vegan raclette restaurant in London, 222 Vegan Cuisine was bound to be able to sort you out for this warming favourite. Here, raclette comes in the form of spinach and tofu cheese covering a crispy roast potato, alongside a creamy sauce and sauteed oyster mushrooms. But that's not all, as there's delish seitan stroganoff too - plus a choice of organic wine or cider.
