We stumbled upon this cafe while roaming around Neil's Yard (which has become one of our favorite haunts in London).
They serve exclusively organic food which is healthy and at the same time very tasty.
If you are a health-food fanatic or even if you plan to just eat healthy one in a while, this us definitely the place for you!
They are strictly vegetarian (vegan) and also have gluten-free options.
The vibe is very colourful and Mediterranean...very much blending into the atmosphere of Neil's Yard.

I am visited there for breakfast.
The food was good
The crowd was good
Yummy food
I loved it
service was good.
So you can also go and enjoy your meal
If you ever get a chance to step in Neilâs yard which is one of the most colourful street of London and filled with the exquisite choice of food all around then youâve to book a table at this one for sure .
Having try itâs Courgetti, tacos and sweet potatoes on the side are the perfect choice for your meal . The Quantity as well as the presentation of food is just perfect as your day out in Neilâs yard .
Also the service is great so thereâs no doubt to not check off this place from you list .
Lovely vegan food. Bit be aware of the pasta , it might be too watery. Salads are grate. The dessert cake delicious, not to sweet. They never land in the dates swamp :
Honestly I had very high expectations about this place and I used the chance to come to London for a 3 day we to know this place. Iâm deeply in love with this place. Amazing and tasteful plant based food. We had a wasabi salad, a Ayurvedic salad, smashed sweet potatoes , a green leek and courgette soup and... a chocolate raw tart that was heaven when I tasted it. The only thing I suggest is, get a bigger place, the restaurant is too small. And please organize the kitchen. It is great to see the restaurantâs kitchen, as I customer I love this concept but you must have something good and well prepared to show. Although I did those last comments, please be aware I came from Portugal to try your food and I gave you a 5 as rate:)
Located at the first floor of a nice building, this lovely cafe offers healthy food with vegan options. The atmosphere is calm. Welcoming and friendly staff. Loved the salads and burgers. Food is presented nicely. Excellent service.
Lovely healthy cafe style place on level one of the Neal's Yard Remedies. I had green juice, cucumber, kale, celery and apples with a booster shot and the yummiest date and banana bread slice. It's best slice of banana bread i have had thus far. Unfortunately I didn't take too many food pictures but then I got inspired by the view of the square with the weather gets slightly sunny in London.
First experience in a vegetarian restaurant.
I have to admit, my choice of the restaurant was random. But I liked the place from outside and the reviews were quite good. I didn't regret it.
The restaurant is in a quite hidden place and as it is located at the first floor of a building, does not have a big name outside.
I found quite difficult to understand the dishes that they were offering, as I knew very few of the ingredients used. I tried the pizzette, purely because they looked nice from the picture.
I still don't know exactly what I ate, but it was delicious and filling. I wanted a light lunch so I didn't try any dessert, but they looked amazing.
The place is very relaxed and very casual, the menu does not change all day long. Perfect for a breakfast or lunch with friends.
Neals yard is one of the places i allways like to hang. The atmotsphere is unmistakebla, the shops and food is colorful and looks fresh. Everyone should see this if visiting Covent Garden...

For the first time I had salad, it was decent! The second time I had the burger, which I hated. I can't tell you what exactly went wrong, but the combination of ingredients didn't work for my tongue.
A wonderful and singular place located in a magical yard. The salads are colorful, fresh and delicious. The staff is so helpful and friendly.
Ayurvedic Super Salad, Emerald Wild and Nut-Free Raw Chocolate Tart. These are my favs and since I haven't been eating unhealthy foods for 6 months, (at least I'm trying to say no to fast food and sugary foods!) these kinda cafes like Wild Food have become what I exactly want to have a new healthy life.
Visited twice and have enjoyed both experiences. I do find the portions slightly small for the price but it tastes great. Highly recommended for all vegetarians and vegans but it can feel a bit crammed when it's super busy.
Tasty but not fulfilling for the price tag - perhaps portion sizes could be increased but perfect for a lighter meal or lunch if your budget allows it.
The food is incredibly tasty and satisfying. We went for a Saturday lunch and the place was packed but we could still squizz in. It is a bit loud but that's just because everyone is feeling so relaxed. Staff is really helpful. I feel it's a bit expensive, we've paid ÂŁ50 for a starter, two mains and two drinks, but perhaps still worth it...
This was such a little gem of a place. The staff are incredibly nice and friendly. The atmosphere and decor is lovely. I loved the menu, so many new things to try. Being a vegetarian and usually only having to choose from 1 or 2 dishes in a menu, deciding here was difficult. I went for the Wild burger and the Wild Whip smoothie. The burger was great, I didn't love the sead bread but it was good enough. The sweet potato wedges were gorgeous; devoured them. The smoothie was very strong, contained a lot of tumeric and that flavour lingered with me for many hours, and overpowered the taste of the burger. So probably won't order that again.
Have to say its a bit expensive...
Would definitely love to go there again and try something else.
This was the perfect candidate for a date night with the vegetarian girlfriend. Having been a true carnivor all my life, I too was hesitant at the lack of meat but that soon disappeared at the uniqueness of the venue. Located on the first floor nooked away in Covent garden, the Wild Food Cafe is a small restaurant based around the kitchen, allowing to see the artists at work. The food is incredibly flavoursome and the service is exceptional.

Eat, Pray, Love are the thoughts that come to mind when walking into this tiny but vibrant first-floor cafe overlooking Neals Yard (off Covent Garden). Seating is mainly on large communal tables, which benefit from natural light on those gloriously sunny days in London. We chose instead to perch around the horse-shoe shaped bar when we went, drawn to the magic happening in the open kitchen beyond. The food is vegetarian/ vegan and raw-centric â focused on dishes cooked under 42 degrees to maintain all those key vitamins, minerals and enzymes that otherwise start to dissipate at higher temperatures. Freshly-prepared, each dish is a creative presentation of colours, bursting with flavours and textures, and loaded with nutrients and super-foods. We loved the Mayan salad (a wild special, so only available for a few weeks) made with sprouted quinoa, pomegranates, figs, romanesco cauliflower and cacao nibs to name but a few of the ingredients which went into it. And if there ever was a time or place to try a healthy pizza, trust me that it is here â their wild pizza special (made with a dehydrated almond and butternut squash base) is simply incredible. A mecca to clean living, a visit to Wild Food Cafe is a must for the innovative and feel-good experience it offers.
This is absolutely perfect for Meatless Mondays and detoxing. The salads are not boring at all and their changing daily specials are very interesting (ie you add more to the list of "Vegetables I Know") Favourites include the hummus and falafel, but that raw chocolate (dairy-free!) smoothie is divine.
The food is absolutely amazing , they are make cake with gluten , dairy , sugar free that are just unique .
Every portion is made with fresh product and very tasty combination .
Simple place but with a touch of smile from the staff that make your meal really relax and comfortable .
Even if you are not vegan , just try , you will Be remain surprisingly satisfied.

I'm a poor vegetarian at the best of times and even worse at cooking it. The difficulty in cooking vegetables is unappreciated as it is and that's before even considering how to make it taste good too. But that difficulty is taken to a whole other level when you go raw, so much so that I dare not try. Luckily for me I don't have to so long as I have Wild Food Cafe around.
Wild Food Cafe is a raw-centric, vegan and vegetarian eatery located in Nealâs Yard in Covent Garden. Using a wide range of seasonal and local organic produce, Wild Food Cafe sets about producing a daily menu which is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate with the aim to contribute to a healthier way of life. With the arrival of London Health Week, I couldn't think of a better time to pay a visit.
To my surprise, scanning the menu revealed a number of items which sparked my interest - the Wild Burger certainly sounded interesting and with the claim that it's the best in London, was hard to turn down - but tonight, dinner was the Wild Falafel and the Wild Pizza.
The Wild Falafel (of pistachio, olive & coriander falafel, kale & parsley tabbouleh, red pepper & tahini dressing served on a sundried tomato & sunflower seed cracker) was awesome with the highlight of the dish actually being the unstated hommous, which does a fantastic job of holding the dish together both physically and gastronomically. Flavours were as vibrant as the colours of the dish creating a very palatable experience.
Not to be outdone, the Wild Pizza (of a dehydrated almond and butternut squash base topped with mariana, wild sea purslane pesto) was delicious and unlike anything I'd had before. Clearly no straight substitute for traditional pizza bases, it does however provide a tasty alternative which is worthy of a try.
It'll be no surprise that I am not much of a vegetarian and to say I'm a raw food novice would be kind but the Wild Food Cafe provides the perfect introduction to how good the cuisine can be. Meals are hearty, vibrant, tasty and, it goes without saying, healthy. One to try.

I learnt about raw food few years back when I was obsessed with healthy eating. There are a few raw food places in London, however I have always stuck with Wild Food CafĂ© in Nealâs Yard, Covent Garden. Letâs me start by explaining what raw food is. Raw food is a type of vegan but food is not heated by over 40 degrees Celsius. This is because when food is cooked, most enzymes are killed, hence the loss of nutrients. Their typical diet would consists of large amount of vegetables and fruits and small quantities of nuts. Wild Pizza Special the Wild Falafel -  Organic pistachio, olive & coriander superfood falafel balls, sprouted chickpea hummus, baba-ganoush, sprouted quinoa tabouleh, red pepper dressing, tahini sauce served in homemade wheat-free dehydrated coconut wrap. Wild Food CafĂ© sells both vegan and raw vegan food so if you feel too cold to have just raw food, they also offer some hot food. I have previously tried their Wild Pizza Special (12.80 pounds) and Wild Burger (12.80 pounds), both raw. This time I went for the Wild Falafel (13.5 pounds). As you can see, it was massive. Although thereâs no meat, I can assure you that you will not leave hungry. I have to say, all the dishes I tried were of similar flavours, given that they essentially use the same ingredients. But I couldn't return again and again if I didn't like it. I wish they offer more varieties such as those courgette spaghetti that most raw places do. I absolutely love the atmosphere, people are always energetic and friendly. They have an open kitchen with bar table surrounding it. I love to sit there and watch them whipping up the dishes. I have to admit that raw food is not everyoneâs cup of tea but I like it. If you have never tried raw food, I would recommend you to try. This place would get super busy at night and I would recommend to book in advance if you have more than 2 parties. -J Address: 1st Floor, 14 Neal's Yard, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9DP Website: wildfoodcafe.com Price: 13.80 po

You get to a communal room shared with the kitchen from a stair, and you find yourself surrounded by natural light (in good days) as this delightful cafe overlook that little gem that is Neal's Yard. The principle behind Wild Food Cafe brings together raw, natural, vegan food and a shared experience of food and people as you get seated at one of the long tables with the other patrons. The concept is lovely and the food scrumptious!! I got the hummus and beet root sandwich (after my lunch mate kindly asked a lovely lady at my side for the best dish) and went on with the guacamole, finishing with the superb Banana Bread (oh my, THAT's perfection). What can I say, I've a tedious allergy to animal fats and the adorable AKBoogie have been a charm in understanding my needs (THANK YOU my dear)!! Allergy or ideology aside, this place is a "must try" and one where I'll be returning to with pleasure!!
I loved the healthy fresh food served on this second floor cafe located in the coolest street in Coventry Gardens. Because some of the staff waiting are inexperienced, the service was a bit slow.But it totally worth the wait,because of the amazing food.I especially recommend the yummy blood orange juice and bittersweet dark chocolate cake.
I am not very fond of this place. Although, the food is brilliantly executed and presented, it actually takes years to get served. I am not exaggerating either, because my last visit here involved only ten minutes of eating and about an hour of waiting for the food. The food is amazing, and it is the only thing that keeps me coming here time and time again. It's torturous to have to wait, but I am a slave to my taste buds.
Lovely vegetarian place to eat at, with some very interesting options on the menu, and everything so nicely and perfectly cooked. The food was filling too, in a nice way, but not too much, because I could easily roam around London just after the meal.The smoothies there are amazing too, a very pleasing experience.
I visited this place a couple of weeks back, with one of my friend who desperately wanted to visit a vegetarian restaurant as he had recently converted to vegan-ism. We reached this place on a hot and sunny day, and to our disappointment this place had no AC. The ambiance had abstract imagery and paintings and the servers were really nice. We ordered lemon cheesecake which was dense & moist, but not sweet at all.
If you are a vegetarian and enjoy a trippy ambiance, you should definitely visit this place,
This place is nice and cute, but over the years, it has established a loyal clientele, and thus a new visitor may feel like an outsider here. My dish was actually great except for my mushroom burger, which has a hair in it. It was even more disconcerting to see that none of the kitchen staff had hair of that colour. Anyway, it was a decent experience and I will try this place again.
Visited this amazing tiny place yet again. I have always love the style of their menu. Its so new and very creative. The staff is very attentive and takes a good care of their customers. This is surely a place I will be visiting whenever I visit London. They server amazing food, amazing environment and a brilliant service. Worth it.
The atmosphere of this place is very unique and great. The vibe is a very healthy and cheerful one. The best bit is the style of eating here which is communal. In my opinion the chai cake was great and very delicious. I was really impressed with the food here and will come back again for the raw food.
I had a lovely experience at this restaurant. The ambiance is great and very pleasing. The food is absolutely delicious and appetizing. The menu has a variety of unusual and different dishes to offer. We ordered an Ayurvedic salad along with a Pizza, and both the dishes were delectable and fresh. Will definitely recommend it.
Finding about a restaurant on internet and going their to check it out is quite a deal. I and my partner decided to go to this place. The whole ambiance of this place is amazing and the food they serve is fresh and very tasty. The staff happens to be very well trained and pleasing. The list of songs that they were playing were bit over the top. All in all this place was worth giving a shot.
I think I would run out of adjectives if I start to describe the food that this restaurant offers. The food was really tasty. Some of the cuisines that i tried were just out of the world. However, the only drawback is that this place doesn't open until noon otherwise I would have loved to sneak in for some breakfast.
This restaurant takes particular care of its vegetarian customers. The food is good, delicious and savory. The drinks are superb. The portions are adequate but the prices are pretty steep. I shall seldom come here for the prices are a major drawback. The menu is elaborate and the the staff is efficient.
If you are looking for gluten free food then you must give this place a sure visit. You can have a lot of options to choose from . The vibe that this place is going to provide you is also very good. You will alive in here.
I had Rainbow ayurvedic Salad and it was amazing.
After a theatre performance, we decided to visit this place. The ambience was quite good and the décor was also very nice.. The menu was quite an extensive one with a lot of interesting options to choose from. We ordered from the daily specials menu and found starters and mains to be quite delicious. . The dessert though was a disappointing one. Barring the dessert, the quality of rest of the dishes was top notch. I would definitely be coming back to this place again.
The place is such a package in itself. We went to try their raw centric gourmet wild food world cuisine. It seems as interesting a name and as promising a cuisine. This place offers mediation and indian flute concert. Coming to orders, we had tasters and canapes. The place is enticing! A must try!
It is all in the moment, when you walk in this place, you finally will get to know what exactly this place has to offer. The decor is excellent. The staff is very attentive and cooperative. Their service is efficient and they possess a very pleasing personality. The place is located in an area where you get an amazing view if you get to grab a window seat. Recommended.
This place serves one of the best smoothies in town. I keep coming back here for their smoothies only. Till now, i have tried almost all of the flavors available on their menu. And not just the smoothies, their noodles and sandwiches are delectable as well. Highly recommend this place!
I had an amazing meal here. The ambiance of this place is so great and enjoyable. It a sheer delight to eat here. The dishes are very inventive and they offer a range of raw and cooked dishes. All of these are full of flavor and are very freshly made on site. Every dish is simply delicious.
This place is perfect for anyone who enjoys healthy food full of nutrients in a refreshing atmosphere.I went here with my mother for celebrating her birthday. She happens to be very picky so I decided to go here due to the positive reviews I had read. We began our evening with juices, which were fresh and very innovative with their ingredients. We then moved on to the salad, which was a pleasant surprise due to its plethora of flavours. The dessert was great too, especially the hot chocolate. The staff is attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended.
I have been to this place many number of times and the food served is always fresh and inventive on the chef's part. Their weekday specials are quite good and wholesome. This place also serves some excellent quality of desserts. The service though is a bit lacking but it usually happens during the peak hours. The staff is pretty amiable and the atmosphere is quite lovely.
Starting with the staff, very amicable and knowledgeable about their menu! The food was well cooked, served and presented. Only downside is they have specials and and an extensive menu but were out of many dishes we asked for ! However, the food we finally got served was really worth and pleasing!
I visited this place and enjoyed a scrumptious meal here. We ordered the leek and potato soup, mushroom on toast and the chocolate cheesecake for dessert. All the dishes we ordered were very appetizing. The hummus with crispy bread was delicious and had lots of garlic in it. I also enjoyed the burger there.

My extensive vegan restaurant crawl continues unfettered as I finally take the well worn walk down towards the infamous Wild Food CafĂ©, secretly tucked away in Covent Gardens poorly hidden Neilâs Yard.
The restaurant all vegans take their non-believing friends to show vegan food can indeed be delicious and beautifully presented. Countless converted non-believers have found far more than just dry leaves, rubber carrots and bloated beans down this winding path, and thatâs exactly what we indulged in this Saturday when I took my dear friend, Sabrina (Hiii Brina!) with a point to prove !
Thereâs never a âbest timeâ to go down if youâre wanting mellow dining experience as it is always busy, wriggling with regulars and visitors from all over the world. Popularity doesnât disappoint with a queue striding up the stairs towards the restaurant holding only 3-4 long wooden dining tables, each sitting around 8 people with some high chairs around the open curved kitchen. With only enough time to quickly enjoy the surrounding atmosphere we were scooted towards our seats by the window opposite sisters and next to a couple with crisp fresh air caressing our faces from the wipe opened windows.
Itâs a very hippy-esque spot, music blazing in the background mixed in with the warm chatter of customers being attended by happy, knowledgeable staff; generally a relaxed, unpretentious vibe.
I have been before when they were unfortunately out of stock on most things, having never been a fan of this I crossed fingers and prayed to my smoothie Lords that the Forbidden Ecstasy smoothie was flowing freely and indeed it was, Smoothieluja!
An orgasmic bust of raw cacao liquor, cacao nibs, dates, figs, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and vanilla blend of goodness came with some dried flowers confettied on top and oh my . . . it was a dessert all to itself. So smooth, creamy and so damn delicious, no wonder why it is so popular that even on weekdays youâre as lucky as a lottery winner to find some!
Their specials are always true to their name, always worth an order and this week proved no exception. Their polenta cakes with heirloom tomato salsa and asparagus came exquisitely presented with an array of colour and vibrancy which is an unmistakable trademark of the Wild Food Cafe. The smell was savoury, rich and bold, cracking with beautiful aromas, so very yummy, teasing, tantalising and surrounding me!
I cut off the outside crisp exposing the soft polenta cake and pilled some of those lightly cooked tomatoes, salsa and a piece of asparagus on my fork and closing my eyes, took a bite. . . .
..The picked fresh herbs were flushed with flavour but tied in perfectly with the acidic taste of the tomato salsa, accenting beautifully with the less flavoursome but perfectly cooked polenta cakes. Their crispiness and crunch heightened a rugged texture to compliment the softer inside, was found to be flavoursome and thoughtfully seasoned. Itâs these simple, staple ingredients that are so thoughtfully combined with love and passion that it ensures delicious, flamboyant dishes. Nothing is over cooked nor is it overly seasoned, you can taste every high note ring through as intended. Surely they must add this dish to their menu, with indefinite leave to stay.
For the dessert I surrendered to their famous and very popular raw chocolate and berry tart. A rich and creamy superfood layer of stolen heaven lavished on a firm crust of organic almonds, dates and coconut chips finally finished off with a seasonal berry sauce. This monstrous cheesecake type thing is a meal in and of itself, so dense and filled with an array of goodness itâs even more surprising when it comes to price . . . itâs cheaper than the smoothie, coming at a reasonable ÂŁ4.50 with the smoothie topping a whopping ÂŁ6!
Hippies may not find it quite so modest, but regardless this place will always deliver amazing food swarmed in a buzzing environment that benevolently panders to those who return time and time again. Although I must warn you, through introducing my friend I have added yet another voice in praise and no doubt its crowd.
If you want to see our other non-food related reviews and features please visit our site.
Excellent
I had lunch with my mates twice in this place.
I had heard about it by a friend and I decided to try as this area is far from being crowded of "healthy food" which is, for me, the best category of food but I guess it should be for anyone âș.
I have to confess that this place is a tremendous success. Extremely cheap for the quality. This is my "cantine" when I am in this area: wine, savors, ambiance and service... and price.
You should definitely end your meal with the "Fig and Orange Tart" desert...WOW!
I rarely write some critics but I wanted to give a hand to this new restaurant as I want it to success (to be able to come back ever!).
great service and excellent quality!

Located in what I would describe as a hidden colourful oasis, in the center of London, you can find the adorable Wild Food Cafe. At first glance, it may look a little too alternative and hippie, but the staff are incredible welcoming and the decor is simple yet effective. I felt quite at home straight away.
The food has surprising variety to choose from, and there are a number of daily specials presented on blackboards on the wall. I chose to enjoy a glass of fresh carrot and orange juice with a splash of ginger and lemon (which was just the right amount of spicy) with the Ayurvedic Super Salad and a side of sweet potato wedges and my friend had the wild special pizza. The salad was amazingly flavoursome and rekindled my passion for artichoke and shiitake mushrooms.Â
Following this, my friend and I chose to share a vegan creme brulee with coconut and lime cream (which was a special for the week).Â
The experience was fantastic! I was very surprised, as I was expecting to not be full by the end of the meal (perhaps a naive meat-eater mentality) but I was more than satisfied and felt full, but in a healthy way. I may have imagined it, but I felt like I had more of a spring in my step following this meal.

It's been a while that I was meaning to write my highly biased and totally unobjective review of this Neal's Yard raw food haven, so I hope my memories are as fresh as the salads they serve. The explnation behind my bias is that this place believes in and promotes the same food, love and life principles as I do, hence I cannot but like it automatically!
Wild Food Café is all about nutritious, raw, vegan, gluten-free and other healthy-licous superfoodie-friendly foods. And yes, the food is tasty too!
In an attempt to be slightly more objective, I have to admit that I've only been there once and have only eaten one dish. It was hard to choose so I went with the lovely waitress's advice and ordered their signature dish WILD PIZZA SPECIAL â which is raw, wheat- and dairy-free â obviously. The almond crust is topped with basil pesto, vegan cheeze, and couple of toppings (such as tomato marinara or artichokes) which vary every day, and is served with two delicious salads on a side: on that day it was rucola and raw zucchini "spaghetti". Don't expect a whole pizza â you only get one slice, which is quite nourishing but probably not enough in case you are a man, or a very hungry species, regardless of sex.
The menu also comprises some healthy sandwiches and desserts, and yet even more healthy smoothies. i shall definitely be back to try those out.
For me a visit to this place arose some serious thinking on the subject of healthy food pricing in London. Wild food is not cheap by definition, an certainly not in the Wild Food Cafe. The cafe, with its simple and friendly sunlit interior and all that love-peace-hello60s vibe, is more of a self-indulgent-lunch type of place, rather than fancy-dinner-out type. Unfortunately, a price tag of ÂŁ12.5 makes a slice of vegan pizza an occasional treat, rather than a daily option.
If you are looking for a cheaper clean lunch alternative, there is a well-known place around the corner which I also reviewed on Zomato http://www.zomato.com/review/rdbMp, however Wild Food Café's menu is definitely more innovative and inventive. Head here if your head feels empty, and you need an instant recharge. Energy and inspiration boost guaranteed!
Came here with family who were visiting from the States. They're actually quite old and were living on the other end of Tottenham Court Road which made the walk a bit of a stretch for them, but I really wanted to show them Neal's Yard and Wild Food Cafe, which is why we showed up here. Really friendly staff, who handled my fussy, crabby grandmother really well, which I appreciated. She's an exceptionally good cook who runs her own cafe, but she was sold on the food, so hats off to you guys. The atmosphere is beautiful, bright and friendly. However, we'd been eyeing the raw brownies for most of our time there and were disappointed because they were a little dry. I had ordered a juice that never made it because it was too busy in the Juicery downstairs, but the waiter really tried to make up for it and served the alternative very quickly. Good iced coffee!

Mostly raw, mostly vegan and 100% gluten-free food done *very* well, with almost every dish a visual and flavour delight.
Raw food is easy to do poorly. Without the benefit of heat to unlock flavour dishes that sound great can be dull. My experience tells me that Wild Food Cafe are doing raw food extremely well. Of 6 dishes sampled, two starters, mains & sides *every* dish had striking flavour notes. This is where I would bring people dubious about raw, vegan, gluten-free food to show them how great it *can* be like.
The venue is teeny tiny small and deservedly popular which means you will at almost any time find it busy and if you are in a group of less than 4 be seated alongside others. However the semi-communal tables and benches do fit with the wellbeing, social, yoga, ethos which is very much also a part of Wild Food Cafe. It reminded me of meal times taken at yoga retreats, with a friendly group chatting around a long table.
Staff appear to be authentically happy and keen to please. Prices are certainly steep relative to other chains and for the portion sizes so visit for the foodie treat rather than to satiate enormous hunger!
Delicious good. The smoothie was especially yummy.
Menu is quite small and not expensive, so easy to try everything on the menu.
2 of the items I ordered weren't available.
All the food came out at different times, 20 minutes in between each dish so was a good job that me and my partner were sharing the dishes and not having our own, otherwise would have waited a long time for the food.
Because of this we were there for a long time, but the food was delicious.
So perfect!
Luckily, I arrived right when they opened and had my choice of seating. I sat next to the window on a sunny day and enjoyed the views below of Neil's Yard, as well as the people watching as others started arriving. The food was awesome and exactly what I needed. My server was great and knowledgeable about the city. She recommended a concert venue I went to that night and loved. Will absolutely return when I'm back in London!
Nice food, limited menu but that's a good thing. Service was a little slow but the place is very busy. It's a very small place and you have to share tables, which is fine until you want to leave and others are eating.
But the food really is nice and is beautifully presented. I would eat here a lot if I were local.

Came here for the forth times. The cafe is located at the 1st fl., using rather small staircases to go to, besides Neal's Yard Remedies shop underneath. It has a tropical feel decor, relax & non formal. Good quality of food & drinks, all are vegetarian healthy options. The juices are fresh. Some of the food taste a bit unfamiliar at first, as they aren't using too much salt nor sugar.
Absolutely delicious vegan food, ultra cute interior (loved the view out the window) and lovely staff. I had the goddess bowl which was very filling and the flavours worked together very well. I especially enjoyed the sprouts and mint-y dressing. The chickpea fries we ordered were also yummy and the fried onion/lemon sauce they were smothered in was to die for. Don't even get me started on the salted caramel slice.... I couldn't ask for more to be honest and I can't wait to return !
The cafe is on the first floor. You could find the stairs on the left. The food is delicious. Amazing for vegetarians. The juices are amazing. They even have a botanical cola( healthier version). A bit expensive though.

Nice little spot in London for vegan food, we sat at the bar so we could see the making of some dishes and especially deserts. The seed crackers were nice as a starter, then the avocado tacos and the spaghetti as a main. Very tasty and good presented. A bit pricey and loud, hence the 4-star rating.
Fantastic tasty good. Slightly experimental which is fantastic for vegan food. The smoothy shot was delicious. Healthy and nutritious option. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Lovely decoration. Reasonably priced.
Very cute place, central location. The staff is nice but the server was a bit distracted. I hadn't finished my juice when I ordered the cake and went to the toilet, when I got back the server took the juice, yet I told him I am going to the toilet, plus I ordered a cake, which means I am coming back obviously. Anyway, he gave me a new one, exactly the size that was left - half a glass. So, that was a bit unfortunate. Apart from that, the food is great, of course pricey, considering the location but it was delicious and felt healthy.
I had just half an hour for my lunch break, and was worrying I would not have enough time to eat there. That did not turn out to be the case, because the staff member - Rebecca went through the menu with me and kindly let me know how much time my choice would take. I chose the burger, that took about 5 mins to cook - so lucky! The burger was delicious and I definitely recommend it. The bun was melting in my mouth, there was seaweed that added an extra something to the dish đđ. Special shout out to Rebecca as she was kind and friendly, willing to help. It was my first time at the Wild Food Cafe, I will definitely come back for more of the good food and friendly environment.
Such a great experience!!! Food is beyond great and staff are really friendly!!! I canât wait to go back and try the whole menu!!!
Atmosphere is very positive. Not a lot of noise. Just great.

Read my review below and consider this possibility. Saturday 4:30pm. I came with my elderly mum, excited to introduce her to the vegan menu. The guy at the entrance holding tight to his IPad informed us that the waiting time now is about 30mins and ask without really much of an empathy if we want to book a table and wait. I am not sure if I was surprised after what I experienced last time as this was absolutely different vibe. Or maybe I just couldn't get the wait if half of the tables where free and ready, not as if they would let's say wait for a group... just odd two places here and there. Well... it was raining. My mum was very tired. We couldn't wait. I regret to say... I am unticking Wild Food Cafe from my favourite places :(
I was here a while ago and I know they have changed the menu by now and I cant wait to go back now! Oh... it's delicious vegan food. The flavours, colours, texture, and presentation! I just felt so happy. I could not resist dessert, although bit expensive (well it's near Covent Garden on the other hand). I will never forget that cheesecake! never! Best thing I have ever eaten. Such a pleasure for eyes as well. I liked also the decor and staff were very nice, friendly and helpful.

oh. my. god. okay first things first, the food was incredible. i didnât realise that what i ordered was raw vegan (courgetti spaghetti) and was a little bit taken aback when i bit into the âpastaâ and it was entirely cold. got used to it though!! i also ordered the teriyaki almonds â Holy Moly. They are an absolute must. i was tempted into getting dessert and got a beautiful chocolate tart, and couldnât finish it because it was so beautiful and decadent and i was already pretty full!
the absolute best thing about this place though is the atmosphere. there is a very cosy casual and friendly vibe â even among the customers, there was just this element of trust and well-wishing in the air. no doubt that the influencers of that ambience are the wonderful workers. i was served by three different people, all of which were very patient with me, offered their recommendations, and clearly were enthusiastic about their job. that was just really great to see.
i felt so so welcome here â there was no pretence, no judgement, just warmth, relaxed vibes. i couldnât recommend this place more. just GO!!!!
Really good service. Friendly and attentive.
We had Mushroom and tarragon soup was really tasty, well seasoned. I really could have had a second bowl. Gorgeous coconut cheese cake. Burger was nice but I'm not a fan of sweet potato fries in. I went with two meat eating friends and they both loved it too.
Definitely recommended.
Not what I expected this is place to be but it was relatively good. The food is very healthy which is different than most of the food I experienced in London. It is quite cramped but I got a window seat so I was able to see the quite remarkable view of the pedestrians out the window. The food was a little over priced and not as good as other vegan raw food I have had in the past. But in general I liked this place.
A must do especially if youâre vegan !
It really worth a stop either for eating or just having a drink
Everything is organic including wild crafted
The food is delicious and fresh
I love the setting of the dishes with nice wild flowers and herbs
Every plates look yummy and the quantity is correct
This place is very simple without pretension
