    I am very much of an omnivore, who loves a good rare steak and muses at the zoo about what the animals might taste like. So, when I took my vege/pescatarian daughter there for a nice dinner, I wasn't expecting much. I was so wrong. Elizabeth's is wonderful. The tasting menu is exquisite and flavour and texture forward. The servings were beautiful and inventive. It is high end vegan cuisine that anyone who appreciates good food will love. The plates were reminiscent of a vegan version of those created by Ollie Dabbous at Hide in London and equally flavoursome.
