Mildreds Soho in City of London, Westminster

First time at Mildred's. Went to the Soho branch and was pleasantly surprised. The tasting menu is decent and prices are very reasonable. Though there is no logic in the choice of starter dishes, they are tasty. More.bread is recommended for the amount of dips offered. Make sure to try the creme brulee. Service is attentive and courteous. The staff don't take discretionary service charge for granted and work hard for it. Will be coming back many more times to try all the dishes on the menu. Unlike some other vegan places, this chain serves rather healthy food which is not swimming in oil and salt. My palette was very pleased. Thank you.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant! We took the dinner menu for £32, very affordable considering the quality and generosity of the dishes! We enjoyed ourselves, it was quite generous.

Never a disappointment - as a vegan, it is just wonderful to come to a restaurant and know there will be a plethora of options to choose from, and all of them tasty!

STUNNING! Exquisite food, wonderful service by Freya, gorgeous place with a chilled atmosphere and lots of plants. I was impressed with the allergy awareness and pleased there were a few Gluten Free options. I will 100% be returning. Only minor point is that it would be better to have GF written on the menus (rather than G (which is confusing) on the online only).

On a super hot day they treated us super well, the food was delicious, I recommend the mushroom pie!

Great plant based food always delicious super attentive staff buzzy atmosphere

Incredible vegan food - full of flavour and love the focus of vegetable based meals! All the meals we had were amazing, particularly the cauliflower entree and the mushroom mezze plate were stand outs! Sticky date pudding for dessert was incredible

Excellent food and service. Very tasty and great textures.

If you are vegan, this is a place for you. If you are curious in vegan food, this is a a place for you.

Amazing food!! The tiramisu is a must!!

Great tasty vegan restaurant, flavours and choice really good, gluten free options too

Lovely dinner with family visiting from abroad. Helpful staff about dietary restrictions and recommendations. We always love the menus.

We are very happy with the experience and we are very happy to see that there are vegan options in the world that are already playing in the first division. Everything is very good, the place can be overwhelming if you are not aware that it is small. Highly recommended to someone looking for this type of food. Congratulations

Cyrus was amazing, brilliant service, brilliant food. Would love to come again.

Amazing food and service, I'm highly recommended

The best vegan restaurant! Today we had the "chicken" and leek Sunday roast with trimmings. Cannot adequately describe just how delicious everything was. Service lovely, as well. We were a bit early for our booking, but staff gladly seated us straight away. My only regret was not saving room for dessert, but that will just be motivation to return another day. Thank you!

Anir our waiter was so kind and helpful! Will definitely come back for such great service and food :)

Very nice service, beautiful interior.

very cool pleace and delicious food

Wonderful food and service was fantastic! Shout out to Hirna who made some great feed suggestions and was so friendly!

Delicious food, lovely restaurant design & friendly staff. Great choice of cuisine & fusion food. Try the Arancini!!

My goto Vegan Restaurant when visiting London. Never disappoints! Carb loading pre London Marathon with the beet burger & patas bravas! Really wanted the Sticky Toffee pudding but was too stuffed. Mildred’s please come to Manchester!

I haven’t eaten so well in so long. We, unfortunately, don’t have this kind of veggie restaurant in France… also the staff is lovely !

Absolutely incredible food, one of the highlights of making the trip down to London from Nottingham - the chick+n was bordering on a life changing experience. We’re here for 4 days, will probably be back every single one of those!

Yum!!!! So great with GF options too

Fantastic service, many thanks.

Been to Mildred’s SoHo three times with people who are vegetarians and have always been delighted by the food. Excellent service- our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Drinks came promptly. I knew my burger was going to be good because my son (who loves his chicken!) actually had this a while ago and said it was not bad at all. The cauliflower was interesting - wasabi not too overpowering . The sri Lankan curry was probably the only thing that was underwhelming but the person who ate it loved every aspect of it. All in all a definite winner for vegetarians especially from India who would otherwise eat in an Indian restaurant with the usual veggie suspects!

I had the Korean burger and it was really tasty had a lot of flavour service was 10 out of 10 the staff really care would definitely come back again

A lovely restaurant but our experience was marred by stale foccacia and inconsistent service, however the rest of the food was tasty. We tried to pass on some honest feed back but felt unheard. We adore Mallows and really wanted Mildred's Soho to provide the same experience but unfortunately that was not the case. Hopefully, our experience was just a one off so we will return and try there again.

Perfect little sharing plates for a mid afternoon snack. Yum!

Small plates from the new spring menu are insane !!! Loved the teriyaki cauliflower and the romesco dip AND Cyrus looked after us so well- thank you!!!

Lively lovely relaxed atmosphere, traditionally plan based done well. Hearty, tasty, no fuss or pretention

Super friendly and nice staff and great food!

Lovely dinner, very tasty food and great service. Cyrus was very friendly and delivered excellent service! 5 stars!! Will definitely be back

Burger was a tad dry but everything else great and the waiter was excellent!!! Cirus I think his name was

Delicious anniversary dinner, very tasty

Amazing. Some of the best food I have ever eaten, wonderful cocktails and such lovely staff. I'm going back to London just to eat here again.

I’d been to the one in Kings Cross before and this one was just as great! We shared a mix of small plates and all of them were delicious - portion sizes seemed small initially but it was very filling. The interior was cute and cozy. The staff were attentive throughout even when it got busier. It’s a lively spot and fills up quickly so I’d suggest booking ahead. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

Great food, bad service, busy and chaotic atmosphere. Sorry but you need to train your staff on allergies, diet requirements etc

Delicious food, super friendly service, relaxed atmosphere. Perfect! Special mention to Cyrus Flash. Thank you!

Mildreds had a creative and flavorful menu—we wanted to try everything! The cocktails were fresh and not too sweet and the dessert was out of this world. It was cute and lively inside and the service was just right. I wish I lived in London to make this a regular spot!

This is the best vegan restaurant in london👍

I have been here way too many times to count. My go-to when I lived in London and my go-to every time I come back to visit. I bring non-vegans here too and every time without fail they are impressed. A special shoutout to Cyrus who made my friend and I’s experience especially nice tonight! If you’ve never been before, you CANNOT skip the tiramisu. It’s a classic that has never left their menu for a reason.

Great dinner tasting menu and good value, thanks to Cyrus F. for the great service.

Food fabulous as ever but Cyrus was the star! He was fun cheeky and charming! Wonderful service.

Very nice tent, good atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is delicious!

the food was great! sticky toffee pudding is a must!

Highly recommended vegan restaurant.

Had the Dinner set menu, very tasty variety of food that blew us away beyond our expectations. Would definitely recommend.

Another great meal at mildreds! Can not fault it at all, the food is always amazing!

The food is amazing, very tasty. And the service was very good.

Great service, amazing flavour. Definitely a place to try!

Really nice vegan tasting menu! BUT, the crem brulé was not good, and as soon as my friend finished theirs we were asked to leave so they could get the table back. After getting a 3 course meal I did not expect to be asked to leave with no prior warning of a table time limit literally as our mouths were still full. Not a great end to an otherwise good vegan restaurant experience. would appreciate a warning next time as we would not have got desert. Also it is very crowded and loud when the restaurant is full.

Really great food and Christian who really helped with my requirements made the experience 10/10 thank you

The food and atmosphere was absolutely perfection.

Fantastic Vegan restaurant right in the heart of Soho, London. Food is great and tasty, staff are friendly and accommodating. There is a unisex toilet so don't be surprised to see ladies putting on lipstick and pouting 😉👍✔️‼️💯

One of the finest vegan breakfasts we’ve ever tried!

Went to Mildreds ahead of our theatre show. Service was friendly and efficient, food was tasty and wholesome, and everything was easy and quick. A lovely meal.

Last minute reservation for my birthday with my mum, both of us gluten-free vegans. Also delayed by an hour, and I was able to change my booking just in time too. Never tried Mildred's before but my favourite place in London is Mallow and I knew Mildred's owns that, so I trusted it was a solid choice and wouldn't let us down. Our table was looked after by Sohail who was very helpful, considerate and professional, without being over the top. Service was fast and faultless. My only minor criticism of this current menu is that although there are GF options, for the main plates you have to choose between a curry/spicy dish and a salad. Both were delicious but I'd have liked a non-spicy option. There were four out-of-this-world dessert options though. The non-GF dishes included a mushroom pie and Tan Tan ramen. I understand it's hard to source GF noodles, but I would've chosen earthier umami flavours if I could. But as always with Mildred's/Mallow, whatever you order will be cooked and seasoned to perfection, and will probably introduce you to a new favourite ingredient or dish for years to come. And they change the menu seasonally too, so it's always rewarding to keep moving with their innovations. For winter there has been a strong Sri Lankan influence adding a lot of warmth and comfort. I had the Makhani Tofu. It came with roasted cauliflower, okra, sweet onion salad, chana rice and mint chutney. I also had the patatas bravas with the hot sauce on the side which I really appreciated. I was forewarned by Sohail that the curry was spicy but ordered it anyway. It packed a punch, a good amount of heat for me. I loved how the tofu retained crispiness despite being soaked in the rich creamy sauce and the rice was so fragrant and comforting. Amazing. My mum had the artichoke caesar salad which she raved about! Said she'd never had a salad like it. Also some lemon pepper fries. This truly shows how much Mildred's/Mallow can elevate any dish into something memorable. For dessert I had the white chocolate tiramisu and Mum had the creme brulee with morello cherry. Tiramisu was my favourite dessert before I stopped eating wheat but because of the sponge and dairy I've never been able to have it. So having such a dreamy Tiramisu was a treat, much better than a birthday cake! Just wish I'd tried a cocktail too! Downstairs atmosphere was cosy: buzzing and relaxing at the same time. Loved every minute of it and I'm looking forward to their Spring and Summer menus. Like I said of Mallow, Mildred's illustrates a long-term in-depth knowledge of vegetarian/vegan cuisine that really sets them apart from any other restaurants in the UK I've experienced: whole foods flavours, textures and fusions. The secret of fantastic plant-based food is to be creative and put a twist on tradition, instead of just attempting to replicate meat-heavy dishes, so that vegans and meat-eaters can enjoy something new and zany instead of comparing it to old school food. Mildred's/Mallow continue to be pioneers in that respect, showing that plants have so much untapped flavour. Mildred's have been in business a long time, almost 40 years. The proof of why that is is literally in the pudding! They haven't just jumped on the plant-based bandwagon and it shows in their food, which makes it hard to want to go anywhere else. Thank you!

Dined at Mildreds for the first time today at the Soho branch. Was a booking for Mother's Day, but using the standard menu. Booked for my wife and out two pre-teen daughters. We arrived around 10 minutes before our 12.45 lunch-time booking and were seated a few minutes later. First thing to note is that the tables are very closely packed together so impossible to pass between if someone is coming the other way. The food was nice enough with a good selection of menu choices available. The problem is the overall experience was not great. Tight packed tables means you are right up against other diners and most disappointingly the meal feels rushed. The website states an hour and a half for a four person booking. As our starters and mains arrived at the same time, we were essentially done in around an hour. We paid using the QR code on the table. My wife then went to the top-floor restrooms and had to wait to use them. In the meantime I was asked by a member of the non-waiting staff if we could vacate the table - I did explain that per their own policy we had until at least 1.10-1.15pm to free it up, at which point I was told that they would have to check if it was ok for us to stay seated at the table. I again said that the table did not need vacating till 1.10-1.15pm, and this time I was told that they were extremely busy due to Mother's Day - hence the request and repeated that she would check if we were ok to staty at the table or not???? Well, who knew it was Mother's Day!! I'm only there with my wife and our two daughters. I would assume that if incoming diners had booked then there should be no such expectation for our table to be free ahead of time, and if they were walk-ins, well wait until the table is actually free before hassling diners. An incredibly rude end to a sub par experience on service as it was already. Seems like the ethos is pack the place from wall to wall with tables and seats and push people out the door as soon as possible.

Super friendly people. Amazing cocktails. Really cool decor. The best vegan food I’ve ever had!

Come here every time I’m in London. Best vegan food I’ve ever eaten.

Absolutely fabulous food. Probably my favourite veggie/vegan restaurant in the whole of London!

Yet again, a delightful experience with Mildreds. It remains my favourite restaurant in London, regardless of the location. Despite the smaller restaurant, the atmosphere is just as large in the best way. The food was delicious and Anir was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make our lunch enjoyable.

Even got a cheeky compliment from the waiter 😉

Just Amazing ! I really love everything about it. Every dish was delicious and the staff so sweet

Addition to original review. Changed from 3 star to 2 star. Mildred’s wrote a response asking me to get in touch which I did straight away. I received a standard set email response and no actual contact since to address or even discuss our experience. Sadly Mildred’s was always a 5 star restaurant for us, however over the last few years it’s going down hill. We’ve had a couple of very average meals here in the past but always tried again in the hope that it was a one off. I think our latest visit will be our last. The wine selection was poor, my wife’s dinner was serviced lukewarm at best and we had to send it back. So I’m sat there watching my dinner go cold whilst they re-cook my wife’s main, yet they still added the full service charge to the bill with no consideration. The focaccia bread starter was a joke, three thin slices that were toasted, not tasty and just looked odd as we were expecting a nice chunk of bread maybe with some nice oil. I’m writing this not to get anything, but in the hope that they will read this and bring back the Mildred’s we loved. .

Brilliant experience, very accommodating for our pram.

What a wonderful restaurant. Great food, friendly efficient service. Will be coming back again.

Fabulous vegan restaurant a short walk from Leicester Square. Food was excellent, great wine (Vinho Verde), attentive service

It was just a random choice. As you do when you are in unfamiliar surroundings and need a place to bunker down to chill and eat. Didn't expect it to be fully vegetarian but it is. And delicious to boot for a unapologetic meat eater. Enjoy.

I try not to go there every time I come to London but the food is just so amazing! I went there with a friend for dinner and we both loved everything we ordered, starters, mains, dessert and drinks. It’s still the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to and can’t recommend it enough. You need a reservation for dinner as it’s often fully booked.

The evening we came here it was super busy, but the service personal still remained very friendly, even though we could see that they were having a stressful evening. Food was AMAZING!!! Definitely one of the best vegan dishes I ever had. As the tables are standing very closely, it’s very noisy on a busy night, which didn’t bother us too much, because of the incredible food.

Everything was so delicious! Also dishes like cauliflower, which I don't normally find so good. I will definitely come here again. Absolute highlight.

Absolutely exceptional food and service! Child friendly and would 100% recommend:)

Great meal. Super friendly and good service from Charlotte

Brilliant service, helpful staff. Food was great - the artichoke caeser salad surpassed my wildest expectations of a salad(although more artichoke wouldn’t have hurt…) and the tofu and cauliflower curry was delish. We finished off with the tiramisu, which was creamy and not too overly sweet! I will be back for the burgers and the sticky toffee pudding, but would also 100% order anything again

Lovely food with so many options!! Staff were great will 100% be coming back

Perfect for a brunch!!! The best vegan focaccia and pancakes I’ve ever eaten. And the place is nice.

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great food, easy payment, very nice staff. Great experience overall. I will gladly visit again next time i am in London :)

The staff were so lovely and attentive! Food was amazing and atmosphere is so chilled! Such a lovely lunch out!

Awesome place. Magnificent food. Experience worth your time!

Food both incredibly fast and in incredibly good. First time here but definitely not the last time. Thanks

Mildred's Soho has such a lovely, homely feel to it. Since it’s set in a converted house, it doesn’t feel like a typical restaurant—it almost feels like you’re having a meal in someone’s cosy home, which makes the experience really special. The food is incredible, packed with flavour and super fresh. Even if you’re not vegan or vegetarian, you’ll find something to love. The staff are super friendly and helpful, but because of the layout, it can be quite difficult to get their attention at times. That said, once you do, they’re great! Despite that small issue, I’ll definitely be back many times. The atmosphere, food, and overall experience make it more than worth it!

Food was nice - reasonable price for central London. But frustrated they missed instructions in booking about my partners birthday - asked for candles in dessert :(

What an excellent choice! Delectable food, modern ambience and amazing hospitality.

The staff are great and food was really good! Thanks : )

Flawless food, great service and location. Highly recommended.

From the start to end this was a fantastic experience, the food was amazing and the staff where all so friendly and helpful.

Great service and fantastic food

The food was very quick to arrive and so delicious. Tight squeeze on the third floor! Thank you so much to Charlotte and Gigi, we had perfect service.

Goshhh!! It was delicious!! I will definitely come here more often! ♡

Everything was great, super tasty, great service. I'll be back.

Makhani Tofu curry was great really delicious and not bad value for family of four. But a word of caution, service was really poor and dare I say rude! Wasn’t even given the option to amend/ remove the “discretionary” service charge was just there and the card machine shoved under my nose before I was able to review the bill.

great ambiance, staff, & food!!

Everything was delicious, get a side of rashers!

Went with a friend for her birthday and unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed. The restaurant feels small and cramped - sort of like a narrow corridor. And the tables are very close together so you don't get any privacy and the acoustics aren't great so you struggle to hear your own conversation. To be fair, I did enjoy the food but, we only had a main course and when we asked for the dessert menu, we were told that they wouldn't give it to us because by the time they brought the food out, we would have over run our allotted 90 minute slot. We said that we would eat it quickly, and the waitress went to see if that would be OK, but she came back and the answer was 'No'. I understand that times are tough in hospitality right now and it's hard to make a profit. Nonetheless, to refuse to serve willing customers before their allocated slot has expired, just to turn the table as quickly as possible is pretty unforgivable. Why would anyone want to go back after being treated like that? If you just want a quick bite to eat, then I guess this place would be OK although there are now many cheaper options that cater to that market But if you want a relaxing two or three course meal, particularly if it's a special occasion, I really can't recommend this place at all. UPDATE 10.3.2025 The manager commented below to get in touch to discuss the matter. But it's clear from my review, that the key issue is allowing customers enough time to eat, which didn't happen when we visited, even though we were still within our time slot. If we'd wanted a quick bite to eat we'd have gone to a fast food joint, but it was a birthday meal for a friend so weren't expecting to be rushed out after just over an hour. Hardly unreasonable. A good restaurant isn't just about decent food but making customers feel relaxed and welcome so they have an experience they wish to repeat.

Beautiful cakes and great service. Its a busy place with vibe.
