You might be putting the flex into flexitarian for Veganuary but why would you want to eat somewhere that only bothers to put vegan dishes on the menu once a year? We've got a selection of casual dining gems that put plant-based cooking at the centre of their menu and send out banging vegan dishes all year long. Mr Bao All the regular vegetarian dishes at Mr Bao are either already vegan or can be made vegan on request. Add to this their Veganuary specials, plus their regular tofu bao with ginger-braised tofu, house kimchi and crispy onions. We like: Teriyaki Shiitake Mushroom Bao with Sticky BBQ Corn Ribs: Locations: Peckham, Tooting, Westfield Fat Hippo If you're a burger fan, Fat Hippo has a good selection of three vegan burgers on their regular menu using plant-based patties and vegan cheese. They're worth ordering just for their strong pun game: anyone fancy a Five Lies, Harlem Fake or Notorious VFC 2.0? All three include a free side of hand-cut chips, fries or slaw, although you might want to upgrade to the vegan dirty fries with 'fakon' bits and Fat Hippo sauce.

Made up of shoestring fries sprinkled with vegan bacon dust, Applewood vegan cheese, and a Beyond Meat patty, the Bacon Plant 2.0 is topped with La Vie’s plant-based bacon. It comes with a side of your choice; that choice should be the rosemary salted chips. Thank us later.
