Vegan Windsor & Eton

[pxh]

G'day,

Moved to Windsor recently and have had a chance to sample the vegan fare at a few places.

Saffron - Not a vast selection of vegan dishes but they will let the customer make the necessary substitutions to turn the South Indian Vegetable Thali from vegetarian to vegan.

The senior staff appear to know what dishes meet vegan criteria and the quality of the food is usually top of the bill, with the Masala Dosa always receiving rave reviews.

The Nell Gwynn has a vegetarian section on their menu, with many of the choices containing mock meats. The head honchos of the restaurant have confirmed that all the dishes in said section are vegan.

When visiting the restaurant, ask for the vegetarian menu as it is separate to the main menu.

Al Fassia is a Moroccan restaurant with a fair selection of vegan options. Once again, you need to ask the staff (who will then consult the chef) which dishes are vegan. The restaurant has no website but you can view the menu here and here. I can personally recommend the Harira and Poivron Farcie au Riz. Portions are of a very decent size.

Tried the Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Spinach Curry with extra Poppadums at the Windlesora and although it tasted decent enough, the spinach was a tad chewy and the rice fairly bland.

I'll supply further details of any other local vegan eateries as and when I indulge in them.

There is a vegan evening at The Prince Arthur on World Vegan Day, November 1st.

Details can be found here and here.

Looking forward to the meal in Windsor on Monday!
Hey pxh - would be lovely if you could put your reviews on Windsor places on the Thames Valley Veggies website to help people decide where to go. Just scroll down to the bottom of a particular location and click on 'review'.
