TASTES LIKE HEAVEN

A Mecca for all the senses, Holy Carrot is a newcomer to the scene however already proving itself as a landmark London restaurant. Located in London’s Knightsbridge, the plant-based establishment is a 360-degree representation of wellness. Housed within the world-famous hair, beauty and wellness destination Urban Retreat, Holy Carrot embraces the healthy lifestyle in every might.

Open for all-day dining, the goal of Holy Carrot is to deliver the vegan dream via a menu that focuses on ethically sourced, seasonal British produce. A true contemplation for its diners, Holy Carrot’s food is in turn prepared in a mindful manner. Committed to responsible consumption and the general perception of plant-based food, the team at Holy Carrot genuinely care about what its diners eat and drink with a menu comprising some of the tastiest gluten-free, preservative-free, additive-free and finally refined sugar-free delights we’ve tasted for a long time. Forget about meat substitutes, Holy Carrot is the real deal to incorporate mainly fresh vegetables in their repertoire. Their globally inspired dishes not only look like pieces of art and taste divine, they feel good too.

For fans of Japanese cuisine, Holy Carrot will undoubtedly become a firm favourite with dishes including a sexy tofu and crispy quinoa maki. Venturing across the globe to Mexico, it didn’t take us long to become obsessed with the red pepper burrito or their take on the seafood platter to share amongst friends. Where short plates reign supreme, Holy Carrot is ideal for anyone on the go or after a snack to satiate the appetite. And if you’re staying a bit longer, the desserts are hard to resist with fancies including the homemade Candy Set and the Holy Carrot Cake.

If smoothies are more your thing, you’ve come to the right place with blended concoctions available in a whole range of flavours that promise to invigorate and boost the soul. For cocktail lovers, be spellbound by the selection of innovative botanical mixes at the gloriously zen Holy Bar, hidden amidst the dining room with a choice of mocktails on the menu too. Adorned with antique silver mirrors, a crystal chandelier, candle-decked fireplace and a statement striking glass window, this ticks the boxes for a place of worship.

The perfect place to meet, hang, drink and eat anytime of the day, the setting is worth a visit in itself. One for the curious, Holy Carrot’s design sought inspiration from Salvador Dalí’s Surrealism and the captivating realm of Peter Pan’s Neverland combined. The result is a warm and inviting environment that marries the classic charm of the townhouse’s original features with a new-age design fantasy. Think muted pastels, streams of light and abstract installations incorporating dried gypsophila, allium, limonium and lunaria to fuel the mind alongside your belly.

Holy Carrot was founded by Irina Linovich who some may recognise from the fashion glossies as ex International Producer of Vogue Ukraine and street-style star. Genuinely practicing what she preaches, Linovich developed the concept with her husband with the aim to bring an element of fun to eating vegan food. She says, “‘Carrot’ symbolises the fun and intriguing element of the brand, whilst ‘Holy’ represents the healthy nature of our dishes. The menu is very much led by the very best seasonal organic British produce and we take great care to ensure that the produce is ethically sourced and sustainable.”
