E3 Vegan

You're walking down Roman Road in Bow, past the independent shops and corner cafes, and you stumble into E3 Vegan. The space has that effortless East London feel—stripped-back, no faffing about, just great food. They're doing proper cooking here, not the tired "vegan diet" thing, but meals that would hold their own anywhere in the city. The kitchen takes real care with every plate, and the fact they've landed 4.9 stars from 326 reviews isn't luck. It's mid-range pricing that feels fair, and the whole vibe is relaxed enough that you don't feel like you're making some grand statement by being there.
