IKOKO BRIXTON

Walk up Brixton Hill and you'll find yourself in front of something that actually gets vegan cooking right. This isn't about being preachy or making you feel like you're missing out; it's about food that stands on its own merit. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing, building proper flavour and texture rather than just swapping ingredients around. It's the kind of place where non-vegans end up just as happy as everyone else, which is the highest compliment you can give a restaurant like this. Small, unpretentious space that feels genuinely neighbourhood—proper locals spot.
