Otautahi – Burger King’s flagship London restaurant is going fully vegan for a month, as a trial.
The titan fast food company says that if the pilot goes well, it may open permanent meat-free restaurants.
The fast food chain, known for its meat-centric menu, is throwing a major curve ball in London starting this week. The company is revamping its Leicester Square flagship restaurant to be fully vegan for a one-month trial.
It’s the first Burger King restaurant worldwide to do so, and involved years of development.
The eatery’s menu will feature Burger King’s iconic plant-based whopper and vegan royale, as well as more than 15 new options.
The new plant-based bakon double cheeeze xl and vegan cheeeze & bakon royale are joining the menu, in what Burger King says is a fast-food first.
Vegan hamburgers, cheeseburgers, nugget burgers, cheese bites, onion rings, ice cream, and fries will all be on offer, as well as Burger King’s recently launched katsu sandwiches.
King will be vegan during the month-long pilot. Meaning, the items without the Vegan Trademark are still plant-based, but not certified as such.
The company also revealed that if the concept is met with enthusiasm, it may consider opening more meat-free restaurants in the future, permanently.
The limited-edition menu is a direct result of our focus on vegan and plant-based innovation and goes hand in hand with our target of a 50 percent meat-free menu by 2030.
An all-vegan children’s menu will also be available. The full menu includes:
