123V Browns

You walk into 123V Browns expecting the usual vegan restaurant theatre, but instead you get a proper neighbourhood spot with actual flavour. It's tucked away on Brook Street in Mayfair—that quiet stretch where you can actually breathe—and the room feels more sophisticated dinner party than health food store. The kitchen takes its vegetables seriously, treating them like the star ingredient rather than a substitute for something you'd rather be eating. The reviews speak for themselves: nearly five stars across the board, and not the kind that come from people who feel virtuous for eating salad.
