Raw, vegetarian, and just oh-so-good for you, Saf is the stylish vegan’s haunt of choice. Serving dishes cooked below 48 degrees to ‘preserve optimum nutrition and flavour’, even the most hardened carnivores should give this a go. Having lured in the capital’s gastro-purists with its innovative menu of living foods, turning out lasagnas made of beetroot sheets and pine-nut parmesans with not a trace of dairy in sight, it’s turned eating organic into more than a virtuous pastime. Dishes are so beautifully presented you’ll spend half your time trying to deconstruct how all of the different colours, flavours and textures were made out of simple fruit and veg. But then, as nothing’s getting any colder – you might as well muse over it.
