Why Did This Chef Ditch Meat for Plants? Alexis Gauthier on Vegan Fine Dining

Acclaimed chef Alexis Gauthier of Gauthier Soho shares why he made the powerful decision to transform his restaurant into a fully plant-based fine dining experience, declaring: "I can’t profit from killing animals."

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
