The East London area that's home to UK's first vegan Michelin star restaurant
Briefly

Plates Restaurant, located in Old Street, was awarded a Michelin star at the 2025 gastronomic awards ceremony in Glasgow, a significant achievement for plant-based dining in the UK. Run by siblings Kirk and Keeley Haworth, the eatery emphasizes exceptional produce and innovation in its plant-based menu, which includes high-quality local ingredients.

Earning a Michelin star is such an incredible honour and a lifetime goal...To be the first in the plant-based sphere in the UK to win this prestigious award makes me unbelievably proud.
