Reviews Stem & Glory Broadgate Circle

The food was surprisingly good, when eating plant based food in restaurants I usually thing they are to sweet, but wow this was really good! I'm looking forward to the spring so I can come back and enjoy the outdoor seating which looked really nice. Cons: (i'm still giving them five stars because I think the food was good and we need more plant based options! :) ) I didn't like the interior because it felt kinda cheap and the music they played was just weird, it was like commercial pop/rock? The service was just weird, on arrival it was almost empty and they said that the only table they had left was the one closest to the door (cold evening = cold winds every time the door opened) but the next 4 couples that arrived after us didn't have a booking either but they were seated further in the restaurant. We asked the waiter what she recommended and she just mentioned she was kinda new and hadn't tried everything, that's of course ok, but I think it's kinda weird. Make it easy, mention one dish that you like and or mention one that is popular?

Lovely vegan restaurant with lovely staff. The place is bright with big windows so you can see all around outside. It was slightly chilly when we went in there first, but we were the first customers @ lunch. We were greeted and seated with a smile by the staff members. We had a hot choco, rooibos & apple tea and raspberry lemonade kombucha. The bartender was amazing as he put a strawberry at the side of the kombucha glass and our 3 year old absolutely loved it. Food wise we wanted to try as many dishes on the menu as we don’t get the chance to travel to London very often. We ordered a pizza for our little one, which for me was one of the best things we tried on the day. Was really yummy with a thin base and super fresh ingredients. From the small plates we had the kimchi pancakes and the king oyster scallops. The pancakes were good, but slightly over-moist with a sauce. The scallops dish’s best thing were the artichokes with an amazing foam sauce. From the large plates we had the bang bang broccoli, pumpkin ravioli, Korean tacos and dirty burger. The star was the ravioli for us with it’s creamy sauce and chopped nuts on top. Second best were the yummy potato fries that came with the burger - they were just amaze! The bang bang broccoli salad was better than the broccoli, but overall a good dish if you like battered veggies. The tacos I found slightly chewy to my liking, but taste was good. For desert we had the creme brûlée and that was truly phenomenal - I can go there just for this desert. We also tried the hazelnut chocolate avocado cake which was a bit dense, but we added some vanilla ice cream and it was great together. Price wise it’s reasonable for London and just for the fact that this is a wholly vegan restaurant. If you are a vegan or vegetarian or simply want to try food that is healthy and good for you definitely have a look at Stem & Glory.

Good vegan restaurant with nice bright atmosphere. Visited on Friday evening but the place was not busy. Korean tacos as an appetiser was yummy and beautifully decorated. The main course, Gnocchi, was alright - it was very filling and sauce did not have as much gorgonzola flavour as expected. Staffs were friendly and service was good.

Fantastic option for Vegans and great experience for non-ve as well to discover new flavours! We were lucky to have the place to ourselves before the rush of the dinner service and were able to discover their menu. Would I take my vegan friends there again? Absolutely! And I recommend. The decor is lovely, it was nice, warm and cosy, and although it is winter and we haven’t used it the terrace looked amazing with comfortable seating I cannot wait to try on warmer days. Do I think it was exceptional vs any other restaurant? This is way too healthy for my personal taste and whilst the service started up fantastically it wasn’t the best ending. I had to chase to get plates cleared out, order dessert and a refill on my drink - being the only guests it would have made sense to get the table cleared out before having to chase to order dessert. I know we had to leave the table at 6.30 and would have understood to be hushed out, but instead from 5 or 5.30 we were simply ignored/left there with empty dirty plates and empty glasses on our table. I saw them as recurring theme in reviews: the pancakes. Ours weren’t soggy. They were nice although the sauce was on the salty side, and there wasn’t any issue with the texture. Not our favourite dish because the gnocchi and broccoli have stolen the spot as stars of the show. For having tried most of the small plates, my friend and I agreed on the gnocchi being our favourite, bang bang broccoli and the cauliflower too. The mushroom has not been my favourite, whilst my friend enjoyed it, to me it was definitely not how I like my mushrooms cooked/texture. As alternative for scallops and in the tacos it was definitely a let down for me. I like my veggies soft and tender and it felt more on the raw chewy side. It was impossible for me to bite in the tacos (some would argue that it is fancy enough to have sticked to the knife and fork, but it is tacos for *insert your favourite polite swearing here*)- just a personal taste. The crème brûlée divided us: my friend absolutely adored it. Too much jam on it for my taste. To conclude, experience vs a normal restaurant I would give it 3/5 But compared to other vegan establishments I have tried I’d say it is a solid contender hence the better rating despite it not being to my taste, it fairly deserve recognition!

A fabulous place for lunch. Excellent service. Lovely food with very generous portions. Hearty plant based / vegan food with a wide mix of options.

Thank you for Yael and Wayne’s help to accommodate our team building dinner. Picture is an improvised allium-free veggie & cheese pizza.

Vald made our experience here amazing. He ensured everything gluten free was okay for me to eat and welcomed us with open arms. Thank you for having such amazing vegan and gluten free options in London ❤️
