The Story

1989

Our founder, Michael Daniel, opens his first restaurant in London, behind The Hammersmith Apollo.

100%

Our A la Carte menu is 100% plant-based, with a focus on fresh, seasonal produce.

12

Gluten-free vegan options on our menu, including 3 gluten-free desserts!

“Intense and subtle flavours, unusual and wild ingredients – that's what appeals to us.
And presentation is a must, first you taste food with your eyes.”

Michael Daniel

The Metro

“The Gate isn’t a good vegetarian restaurant, it’s simply a good restaurant.”

Marina O’Loughlin

The Guardian

“Tasty enough to seduce even the most hardened of carnivores, The Gate was feeding vegans long before it was trendy, and counts the likes of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow as fans.”

Rosie Hopegood

TimeOut

“Expect colourful, nourishing, eclectic dishes with plenty of ambition and serious veggie and vegan cred.”
