Launched in 2015, by CHLOE. aims to offer “delicious, wholesome, vegan foods that fuel and energise without compromising flavour, taste or satisfaction”. Just three years after opening their first fast-casual space in New York City, the brand launched its first international venture in London, taking over a site near Covent Garden, joining an additional nine US locations.
With two London restaurants now open, by CHLOE. has launched a new spring menu, available in both restaurants until the end of May. Alongside a ‘Cardi Beet’ smoothie – comprising beets, mango, banana, cranberries, ginger, red cabbage, chia seeds, maple syrup and oat milk – the new menu features an oat and hemp banana pancake; smashed avocado toast with cucumber, dill, almond parm and tofu feta; plus a selection of soups, including a spring miso soup embellished with asparagus, kale, spinach, tofu and sugar snap peas.
