£13 for £26 worth of Fantastic Vegan Fare at SAF Restaurant

Thanks to SAF Restaurant's innovative culinary creations, eating out has never been so good for you. The tasty dishes are prepared using a variety of special techniques with most dishes being cooked below 48˚C to preserve optimum nutrition and flavour. This ensures that the top-notch organic grub here has enough unique flair to tempt even the most carnivorous of appetites. Taste, however, always trumps the health aspects of the delicious vegan fare on offer at SAF Restaurant. Under the direction of Californian raw food magnate, Chad Sarno, the kitchen serves up a variety of deliciously healthy dishes. Sarno's renowned passion and commitment to detail and unique ingredients is unmatched. If you're lucky you can book the chef's table, a seat at which is considered the best in house, where you can watch him expertly rustle up his signature dishes right before your eyes.

The menu at SAF restaurant offers great food for every possible occasion and time of day. The revitalising Lunch menu is the perfect antidote to a hectic morning at the office or the shops, giving you a much needed energy boost for the afternoon. For starters we recommend the Detox Salad (green sprouted mung beans, lentils, sunflower seed, radish and omega oil dressing). Try the Wild Mushroom Farinatta (chickpea crepe with mushrooms, artichoke, caper aioli and rosemary roasted cherry tomatoes) for mains and we'd advise you to round it all off with a delightful Chocolate Ganache Torte (pecan crust, raw cacoa powder and orange zest with rum and date sauce).

For a more relaxed affair, try the elaborate dinner menu. We're fans of the fresh herb and beetroot vegan caviar (served with cashew sour cream and root vegetables) for starters. The Pumpkin Risotto and the Lasagna (raw, with sage pesto, olive relish, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes) stand out for mains and the golden beetroot cake (served with nutmeg cream, white wine syrup, candied pumpkin seeds and pumpkin ice-cream) is an unbeatable after dinner treat. SAF has convinced us that vegan food can hold its own in the competitive London restaurant market. We'd recommend this restaurant to anyone.


"I'm tempted to say nothing because Saf left me pretty much speechless. Be assured it will probably be one of the best restaurant experiences you've ever been privileged enough to enjoy. On one hand one doesn't want to say too much about Saf restaurant so you enjoy as I did the slow relaxed unveiling of a meal with all the excitement that gradually and modestly builds into disbelief."
