Brothers to launch new vegan restaurant in Shoreditch next month

This September, a new vegan restaurant is to launch on Commercial Street, Shoreditch.

Genesis will offer a menu of plant-based, GMO-free and organic dishes, with street food influences from across the globe.

The casual setting and counter-style service will ensure that food is delivered efficiently and fresh, whilst the restaurant aims to offer a relaxed dining experience for customers.

Genesis is the brainchild of Alex and Oliver Santoro, whose family have, ironically, been involved in the meat industry for over 100 years.

They both turned vegan seven years ago, and shortly after launched Raw Imagination, a vegan food company offering grab and go items to shops such as Planet Organic. With Genesis, they will offer food that appeals to vegans and meat-eaters alike, whilst promoting health and the planet’s ecosystems.

The menu will comprise a selection of sharing plates, salads, soups, tacos, burgers and hot dogs, all made using organic fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds.

Situated on Commercial Street, Genesis will be split over two floors and is set to make its mark on Shoreditch’s restaurant scene.
