Sauce loves… Flexitarianism
In preparation for spring and with the rise of flexitarian diets, we thought you might like to learn about the vegetarian & vegan offerings at some of Sauce’s restaurants.
Theo Randall at the InterContinental
Award-winning Italian restaurant Theo Randall at the InterContinental offers a flavourful and varied vegan menu for guests eating a plant-based diet. A la carte and set menus of two or three courses celebrate the simple yet robust flavours of Italian cooking, with seasonality at heart. Each course offerings include one or more gluten-free options, often a rare find for vegans and vegetarians. Though situated at one of the capital’s most prestigious addresses, the menu is made up of the same simple rustic dishes Chef Theo Randall enjoys when he goes to Italy – unfussy yet utterly delicious, a million miles away from the complicated fancy fare you would normally expect to eat on Park Lane.

Twins Garden
Looking from one cold country to another, vegetables certainly haven’t been forgotten at Twins Garden in Moscow. The growing season might be short but when the Berezutskiy brothers invested in an enormous heated state of the art glass house at their new farm they were able to guarantee that their guests were served the very best vegetables day after day. Exquisite skill is shown with dishes such as “Cabbage”. This is a combination of grilled cabbage, kiwi fruit and hazelnuts. It will be on the special Lent menu which complements the main a la carte and with its Vegetable collection. Test out the city prior to the start of the World Cup.
