A stylish deli with a full-vegan twist, this spin-off from the popular Smith & Daughters restaurant creates the closest thing vegetarians will get to meat – it’s been known to fool carnivores. Takeaway sandwiches are filled with all the (mock) favourites; try the deliciously filling 'Rubenstein' loaded with 'pastrami', sauerkraut and pickles, or choose the memorable 'Club Sandwiches Not Seals'.

Be prepared to wait during the lunch rush.
