Mildreds is a well known vegetarian/vegan cafe/restaurant with a branch in King's Cross (the one I went to) and also Camden (and others).
When we came in, the waitress said "you know we don't serve meat right?" Yes of course I do. Do I look that carnivorous?
- Halloumi burger (chargrilled aubergine, rocket, red onion, harissa, tahini in flatbread) £8 with sweet potato fries £4 - really nice combination of vouchers. Tasted as expected;
- Green falafel (tahini, lemon) £4 - a good crisp falafel (albeit not as good as Pilpel) and seemingly better value than the large plate version for £12;
- Chicken katsu curry (panko coconut crumb mock chicken, black rice, watermelon radish salad, yuzu dressing) £13 - this tasted nothing like katsu curry. Not to say it was bad, but a completely different flavour. The mock chicken was very soft (seitan?) and black rice chewy and good.
Strange that this hipster veg place doesn't have plant-based lattes. I do find that very odd.
The food was good. It's definitely on the expensive side particularly with service but when feeling guilty (or ethical), there's always a cost.
