The Metro
“The Gate isn’t a good vegetarian restaurant, it’s simply a good restaurant.”
Marina O’Loughlin
The Guardian
“Tasty enough to seduce even the most hardened of carnivores, The Gate was feeding vegans long before it was trendy, and counts the likes of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow as fans.”
Rosie Hopegood
TimeOut
“Expect colourful, nourishing, eclectic dishes with plenty of ambition and serious veggie and vegan cred.”
