Get There Quick
Went to a great little vegan/organic restaurant near the O2 centre with M tonight. I tried to go there with (other) M for lunch Friday, but it's closed during the day. And their website is under construction, which I think it has been/will be for some time.

VitaOrganic is run by a very serene Asian guy who is apparently a hairdresser by day, and they specialise in a 'vitaliszing organic buffet over 20 dishes of raw and hot food'. Too true: I'm like bouncing off the walls, I'm so vitalized. Better than drugs.

There's a very mellow laid back ambience, the food is great, and you feel really, really healthy. And the trancey music made me feel like I'd been to a meditation class. It's so laid back that service is not exactly their middle name, so you shouldn't go there if you're in a hurry. I'm just delighted that there's an independent restaurant that's managed to survive the onslaught of The Man's chainstore massacre food offerings. But I suspect that, despite being busy, they may not last long because they're just not very commercial and positioned bang next door to a broad range of deeply unhealthy food offerings. So get there quick. Oh, and it's cheap.

Star spotting aside: we saw Erran Baron Cohen come and go with great speed. And the people sitting next to us were plotting the yoga-overthrow (yogathrow?) of Triyoga in Primrose Hill.
