Very impressed by this place. The ambience was very relax, with a nice open and well lit eating area. The serving staff were fantastic, jovial, helpful, and helpful throughout the meal. The food itself was brilliant. It was so hard to pick from the menu because everything sounded amazing. When everyone's dishes came out they all looked delicious and really carefully plated. They tasted even better, great fresh flavours, loads of balanced textures. Truly delicious. They also let us bring our own birthday cake (though it had to be vegan, which wasn't a problem for us). I recommend here and we will be going back.
Decided to try this place for a Friday night dinner, great decision! The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived and throughout all evening. We decided to try a selection of starters, they were all lovely , each of them presented beautifully and most importantly - they tasted amazing! Very high quality venue, will definitely be coming back again soon.
This restaurant opened this week, and as my vegetarian daughter was visiting decided to try despite being a committed omnivore. Well wow, not only was my delicious meal veggie but turned out it was vegan. All dished bar a couple can be made vegan, and all wines are vegan. Highly recommend the miso aubergine started and the chocolate dome dessert but everything we had was delicious.

Excellent choice of vegetarian food, and desserts for brunch. Great service, food was really tasty, shashuka was amazing. Chocolate mousse was soft, with the right texture so exquisite. Perhaps a few more gluten free options for main course would be an improvement.
Great service, staff and food. All round a perfect experience at the Gate. Menu suited our group - and we are quite difficult to accommodate (vegetarian, vegan, nut allergy and soya intolerance) but it was no issue at all here Highly recommended!!
Really lovely food as every. Lovely friendly staff and a good setup for the current social distancing. Booking at the moment is a must but always well worth it. Clean and bright atmosphere always makes me want to come back soon.
Delicious food, can’t fault the dishes at all. The vegan tortilla was amazing, huevos rancheros was delicious, vegan pancakes were outstanding. Overall a really great experience. The only reason I have knocked off a star is because my sister clearly ordered an oat milk hot chocolate and reiterated this numerous times, however upon drinking her drink she felt the milk might be wrong. She asked again and the waitress said it is oat milk. Unfortunately after finishing the drink my sisters dairy allergies acted up and we are sure the milk was incorrect and she must have been given dairy milk. Luckily her allergies aren’t serious so she was ok but in another situation this could be really serious. Please please ensure drinks are made with the correct milk. Otherwise a great experience and I would like to return here.
Had a very nice brunch, plenty of healthy options and very good food. The ambiance is nice. Staff is friendly but not well trained yet (it's a new branch). It is a little bit pricy as well.
Returned to the Gate in St John's Wood last night which has finally reopened after a 5 month Covid hibernation. This is a vegetarian restaurant - dishes are creative, individually prepared and at the gourmet end of the food spectrum.
We sat outside on quiet Allitsen Road. The restaurant was pretty full inside and out . Lovely atmosphere. Everything was Covid-safe and tables properly spaced out. We were greeted by Michael, the proprietor. The staff were all delightful and incredibly helpful; just as pleased to be back as the customers. The food was incredibly well prepared and even though the menu was smaller than usual, the items were well-chosen and diverse. The mezze-for-two to start was a meal in itself - delicious, freshly baked flat breads with a variety of Mediterranean accompaniments. As a main course, I had the sauteed mushrooms on cooked risotto base topped with a salad garnish. Looked as good as it tasted. Bravo to the Gate. Welcome back.
I love eating at The Gate and have written about it on my website. PlantShift.com
An awesome place with a great menu!
