Calling Londoner foodies

Any tips for late lunch (after 2) near Leicester Square? Needs to be veggie friendly.

Sorry for the late notice but I'm meeting up with sesquipedality before we go and see Mirrormask this afternoon and I thought I'd ask those in the know before we look around for ages and find a crap place in the end.

Cheers!

I quite like Tokyo Diner, and I _think_ it's veggie-friendly (but I'm no veggie so don't take my word for that). Otherwise there are any number of Chinese places in the near vicinity of the square.

I found Tokyo Diner while doing a random search on london-eating but there were a number of recent negative reviews.
We'll have a look, cheers!

Good call. It was yummy and reasonably priced (for central London) too.

There's a reasonably decent asian-fusion place near Comic Showcase on Charing Cross Road, I eat there regularly when I'm in London. Can't remember the name, but it's not the chinese restaurant on the corner, it's a little further up.

Cool. Plenty of choice, it seems.

There's a vegetarian only restaurant as you walk down Neal Steet called Food For Thought - I used to go there as the portions were big, food really nice and prices not too bad. Although there is something to be said about the decor.

I think the decor is the least of our worries. Sounds great!
*searches* Probably a bit too far as we only have about an hour.
Thanks for the tip, anyway!

It's located towards the Shaftsbury Avenue end of Neal Street if I remember correctly. There is also a vegetarian/vegan salad bar in Neal's Yard, but never been there.

Oh and then there's this link - some might be close enough to where you'll be:

Dangnabbit, and I could have made the showing in the end as well.

I really like Chowki.
It's open 'til 3pm, and is just around the corner from Piccadily Circus:
2-3 Denman Street, London W1D 7HA, Tel: (020) 7439 1330
Go for the feast option!

Noted for future exploits. Cheers Colin!

The World Food Café in Neal's Yard is a great veggie place and Waga Mama (on the South side of Leicester Sq) isn't too bad either.
