Mildreds 

Mildreds has been serving vegetarian food in Soho since 1988, and these days the menu is 100% plant-based. You will find it on Lexington Street in Carnaby, London, open from morning through to evening, drawing a mixed crowd of diners. The cooking pulls in international influences, so the menu stays varied and full of colour.

Taste and choice are the point here, and guests rarely have to settle for less of either. Dishes run from curries to burgers, all of them plant-based, and the kitchen makes the case that conscious eating can be every bit as good as it is ethical.
