A London-born restaurant specialising in fresh vegan pasta is coming to the city centre after opening its first restaurant in Covent Garden just 16 months ago.
Plant-based pasta kitchen Pastan, which opened its first venue in the capital in April last year, has submitted a planning application for a new restaurant on Cross Street. The premises would be situated on the site of the former Vertigo restaurant - coincidentally also vegan - which closed down in March.
Bosses at Vertigo shut all three of their sites in the city after stating that the effects of the pandemic had taken their toll. The Cross Street venue had been open since 2018, after taking over from the Maneas Greek restaurant. It is hoped Pastan will take over the premises from September.
