Restaurant Review: Farmacy, Notting Hill
food cleanliness menu desserts
Let Camilla Al Fayed’s new venture, Farmacy in Westbourne Grove, change your view on plant-based food Camilla Al Fayed’s new venture, Farmacy, aims to be just what the doctor ordered, quoting Hippocrates as its main ethos – “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”.
the menu offers an impressive range of dishes including simple comfort foods alongside more gimmicky ‘syringe shots’; all free from dairy, refined sugars, additive and chemicals which will be music to the ears of every diner with dietary requirements.
If you order one dish at Farmacy (you’d be mad to once you see the mains) make it the nachos – it will change your opinion of plant-based food forever.
Whilst I’d love to see more fully vegan restaurants popping up in the capital I do believe Farmacy – which still includes eggs and bee pollen in some dishes – will bridge an important gap for many diners who are health-conscious and ethically minded but not quite ready or willing to take the plunge to an entirely plant-based lifestyle.
If having a poached egg or two on offer with brunch at Farmacy means more diners try dairy free, clean, almost entirely plant-based eating and enjoy it then I’d say that’s a real win for the modern nutritional warrior – vegan or not.

Ditch all dairy, eggs, and meat in favour of the healthful goodness that will be served up at Westbourne Grove's new entirely plant-based bar and restaurant, Farmacy.
Farmacy lightens up those heavy, carnivorous dishes we usually claw at through a completely vegan approach.

Images courtesy of Farmacy The buzzA newcomer on the West London food scene, Farmacy is an oasis of health and happiness, serving up plant-based and vegan dishes, plus artisanal cocktails – what they like to call "clean indulgence".
Menu highlightsThe menu is entirely meat-free, with plenty of options for vegans and those who want to avoid gluten and nuts, and certainly no vegetarian clichés to be found here.
The signature Farmacy Burger (a mushroom, millet and black-bean patty in a wholemeal vegan bun) is a tasty triumph, while more healthy comfort food appears in the form of nachos piled high with guacamole and salsa, and a clean curry of pumpkin, aubergine and broccoli.
You'll also find plenty of bright, vibrant, flavoursome dishes, such as the Macro Bowl – quinoa served with avocado, seaweed, sauerkraut, steamed seasonal greens and sweet potato with a sesame ginger dressing – which demand to be Instagrammed before you tuck in.

Due to millions of women now believing that duck confit followed by a Paris-Brest would kill them stone dead, it is shrewd business sense for Camilla Fayed to open a chic, wellness-focused vegan restaurant Farmacy in Westbourne Grove.
Nevertheless, Farmacy boasted the busiest start-of-week lunchtime room I’ve seen in London for some time.
It’s a ‘veggan’ restaurant for the sort of vegans who still eat eggs, selling novelty syringes of life-enhancing potions and ‘earth bowls’ of buckwheat with baba ganoush.
I’m not saying that Farmacy will float your boat if you’re a strict meat, heavy carbs and knickerbocker glory person; but it’s a good place to whisk wellness-fixated dinner companions to without feeling, oneself, that the night will be a pointless waste of lipstick.
My friend’s Farmacy salad was a drab affair of leaves, herbs, goji berries, a rumour of avocado and a drizzle of spirulina dressing.

The youth of today has a serious problem with drink, smoking and drugs.
The problem being: they aren’t doing anywhere near enough of them.
Yet studies show they’re drinking less than previous generations, are less interested in drugs, and hardly smoke at all.
Too busy sitting at home, glued to their phones, when they should be staying out late, getting into trouble and causing moral panics in newspapers.
He’d better be home no earlier than midnight – and woe betide him if I catch him sober.

Deliciously Ella with her Mae “delis” (although she has now, in a slightly panicky way, distanced herself from the word “clean”); M Raw, “London’s first 100% gluten-free fine dining restaurant”; Vita Mojo, which promises to “put you in control of your diet”; the Detox Kitchen; Rawligion; and too many more.
But my main event is this glittering, plant-filled restaurant from Camilla Fayed, daughter of Mohammed Al, in west London, clean eating’s spiritual home.
In what’s something of a portent, ingredients are repeated all over the place: the frijoles, salsa, guacamole and “sour cream” (grouty stuff made from nuts) that feature in a plate of nachos also turn up in the Mexican bowl; ditto the meze – clunky, pasty sweet potato patties (“falafel”?
A vast, Instagram-worthy sundae, a “Berry Mess” of mostly blueberries, “cream” and “coconut nice cream” with, lurking in its depths, dusty shards of “maple meringue” (made of, I dunno, actual dust?)
