what the critics say

The London Paper

Feargus O'Sullivan

Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - The Swiss may be great with clocks, chocolate and money, but they can’t bloody spell. At least, that’s my conclusion after visiting the first London branch of the Swiss vegetarian restaurant chain Tibits – surely they meant to call it “Titbits”, or did they just think that sounded rude?

Wow, amazing what a fantastic place, the decor was lovely and food was world class we thought. so healthy too and too much choice. We are not vegetarian but did not miss meat. Was too full to try pudding which was so very healthy and looked lovely. Cant wait to go back with friends. You wont like it if you are a burger and chip person.

I went to this place to see what vegetarians eat when they are together and amongst other members of their cult.I suppose I was secretly hoping that they would be laying into bacon butties,and great slabs of rare roast beef,safe in the knowledge that they would not be observed by the 99% of the rest of us who are constantly being inconvenienced by their food phobias.Alas it was not to be.The place is indeed filled with the pale undernoursihed who make up for the lost vitamins and proteins with chemical vitamins,and somehow feel superior.But the food was fresh,and the salads nicely presented and decorated.The main courses were maybe interesting to those who won't eat a juicy steak or grilled salmon,but for the rest of us,it was a"yikes-how can people voluntarily live on this!?" moment.While the room is nice,I won't go back as I can't see the point of going out to eat if you eliminate almost everything that is great about great food from the equation.Good fruit juices,by the way.

This place is really really great, I go there almost every weekend.The food is great, fresh and always warm. The best vegetarian restaurant in London. I don't understand the bad reviews, there are hardly any good vegetarian restaurants in London and tibits is really great. Staff is very nice and helpful. Plus it's really tidy and cosy.

Every now and then, I go to a vegetarian place, and after perusing the menu which is made up of the most bizarre combo's of items in an effort to make gloop interesting, I ask the waitress for a steak. The reactions are always interesting. Some are excessively kind, and think I have stumbled into the place by mistake. Others are horrified, and urgent whispering takes place, before they sneerfully say they don't do that here. Then I explain that if that tiny minority of the population that is vegetarian expects to go into any restaurant and be catered to, why should I (from the overwhelming majority of the pop. that is omnivore) not expect to also have the possibility of a steak in a vegetarian restaurant? Here,the waitress did giggle and say I had a point. So this place is at least welcoming. The food is not that interesting, as is the norm for vegetarian food, I mean how many ways can you disguise lentils? But the salads are nice, and you can certainly make them at home for about an eighth of the cost. So why bother going to a place like this, even if you are a vegetarian?

We visited this place on a Friday night, expecting something special but it was a disappointment.

1) The selection was very very very poor. There wasn't much hot food but loads of cold salads.

2) There were more staff than customers, the atmosphere was cold......you wouldn't expect that on a friday night

We left after seeing the selection on offer.....

We've been to this restaurant twice a week since we first found it 2 or 3 weeks ago.

It's great. There's a huge selection of vegetarian foods to choose from. Hot and cold. The staff couldn't be nicer.

The bread rolls aren't up to much, but that's the only complaint we have.

We take our dog with us (we live nearby) & have to sit outside (unlike 95% of restaurants in Paris who happily take dogs) because of Westminster council. A member of staff always brings a bowl of water for her, without us asking.

The freshly made juices are also highly recommended.

Yes the prices could be cheaper, but only if the quality wasn't so good. I'd prefer to pay a decent amount & get food that's as fresh as can be.

Unlike the other reviewer, may I just finish by saying Tibits fresh mango and pineapple is as fresh or fresher as anything the supermarkets offer. And the brown liquid he mentioned is delicious chocolate sauce.

this place is terribly overpriced and the food is foul. i had high hopes for this so called triumph but was sadly let down and ripped off at the same time. the food was undercooked and bland, the selection was poor and the menu seemingly designed by someone who doesnt like vegetarian food very much and probably doesnt eat it very often if at all. the desert was something to be avoided, brown slimes and stale fruit, the muesli is a shocker, who puts milk on their cereal and leaves it for hours before they eat it?

The food is grim and luke warm but to add insult to injury the price is like a smack in the face. A total rip off, can cost 20 quid for an average size take out box..... what are they playing at? The staff to be fair are very friendly and helpful but the place is not worth going to unless you like paying lots for food you cant eat. just dont go there, save yourselves.
