I wish I could afford to go more often!

Mildred’s is expensive but it’s incredibly high quality and unique food. Their vegan chicken is the best substitute I’ve ever had! Menu changes seasonally and always has a wide variety of options. Really fresh flavours.

Mildreds the third comes in second.

After the disappointment of the Camden Mildreds I contemplated taking my ear plugs with me but half the reason for this night out was of course to catch up with an old friend so I determined that if the muzak was anything like the Camden branch I'd forgot doing a meal review and go to Itadaki-Zen round the corner instead. Thank fully the new spacious style Kings Cross Mildreds is pleasant and welcoming. Not as cosy or decibel friendly as the original Soho "branch" but equally busy - though in truth we did sneak in on the last night of the opening month special offer !
The staff are a little too keen, it felt a little "american" in terms of service that borders on hassle. But I was lucky enough to find an old comrade amongst the staff from the old days at Pogo cafe and so got the low down on how things are. The menu is veg with most offerings having vegan options. We couldn't see the daily specials board but the waitress knew what was on it and we ordered a soup to share. The main course arrived before we had finished the soup, and instead of taking it away and waiting - the table we were at had no space for extra crockery - I mopped up the soup and went straight in to the main course. Not good. The food was great, ale pie with sweet potato chips instead of fries went down a treat. The Polish burger that my friend ordered was very tasty and solid, though the bread bun a little too hard.
Mildreds Kings X suffers from the same lack of sugar free dessert options that the others do which is a shame. It's weird that when the powers that be have finally realised that sugar and eating meat aren't healthy options, vegetarian outlets like this are still serving up refined sugar soaked sweets with no alternatives.
That being said we shared the cherry truffles- one a piece - which are delightful, if likely to bring on early diabetes.


Update 1/4/26 we had a Shared Menu meal for 3. First course was fab. Main course sweetcorn was lovely but the curry and the rice bowl were way too hot/spicy for us to eat. They made us a quick and simple alternative but it was a shame that there was no warning about the curry as we would not have ordered it. Service was great, menu info not so.

Pros: Good food, Kings Cross easy to get to!, plenty of vegan options

Dramatic quality decline

I used to come here all the time, but in the past couple of years the food quality has gone seriously downhill. It felt like the sort of mezze plate or burger thrown together in a pub, once it was a real treat coming here. Now you get a fake meat burger slathered with chutney or vegetables covered in harissa. I imagine new ownership or they’ve become too chainy.

Always a winner!

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Conveniently located on Pentonville Road, close to Kings Cross station. This bright and airy restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner where vegetables and plants are to star of the show. Different type of international flavours. Excellent service. Reservations recommended.

Tip; the breakfast plate is big enough for 2 to share if you want to enjoy one of the desserts as well, and don’t like feeling too fool

Super disappointing

Given it was £44 for 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks, I expected a lot more.

My cappuccino came in a cup with no handle, so you have to scold your hand to hold it. They automatically included gratuity in the bill - I usually tip but hate this custom of adding it for you - especially when the service was so slow.

The full English didn't include bacon, that was an extra £4. It came with one sausage, an extra £5 if you wanted another. No hash browns either. The beans were spicy beans in a cup, the tofu scramble was wet and tasteless, the spinach and tomatoes were just a soggy mess. There was some nice toast and potato cubes but that was about it. It was worse than a wetherspoons vegan breakfast, yet 4 times the price.

Absolutely will not be coming back and I think this is my first negative review on HappyCow. It's a £5 breakfast at best and I would give 1 star if I could.

Pros: Potato cubes

Cons: The food, The price

Perfect breakfast!

Popped in for breakfast while down in London and it was a great choice. Id visited the convent garden one for an evening meal but breakfast was new for me.

We have between us the kimchi grilled cheese, vegan full English and the banana pancakes!

All of the food was amazing! Couldn't fault it at all. Great selection of hot drinks and juices available too. Would definitely go again while down in that area

Worth all the Positive Reviews!

I was surprised to see they had so many locations, but after trying it, I could see why. I went on a weekend at lunch time and was lucky enough to get a table, but I'd recommend booking in advance. There's a nice selection of sweet and savoury brunch options. I had the meze brunch, which was a little pricey, but, with the exception of the tofu scramble, all the components were delicious. I did like the tofu scramble, but I just thought it could have been a little more flavourful. Otherwise, a great experience.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: A little expensive

Wonderful Christmas Menu

We've been to Mildred's Kings Cross in Christmas Eve and ate a 3 courses Christmas Menu.
I had corn ribs as starter, a vegan roast with potatoes, salad and vegetables as main and a pudding with ice cream and toffee sauce for dessert.
Everything has been very delicious!

Pros: Christmas Menu, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Vinyl Avengers at Mildreds

Fully vegan Restaurant with good varied menu in the heart of Kings Cross London.
Set back off main road it has outside seating as well as a large indoor eating and drinking area.
I went for a late breakfast but ended up having a early lunch because the breakfast menu finished at 11AM.
It was a very pleasant experience and well worth a visit.

Pros: Good home cooked food, Friendly helpful staff, Pleasant ambience and surroundings

Cons: This is a cashless business, Breakfast menu finishes at 11AM

Kedelig mad

Service var ikke imødekommende
Maden var smagløs og kedelig. Vi fik en brunch og en salat. I salaten var der store stykker rå broccoli og søde kartofler. Det smager ikke af noget hvis det ikke er tilberedt. Manglende dybde i smagen af dressing. Engelsk brunch smagte brødet og pølsen godt. Resten var ikke ordentlig tilberedt og manglede krydderi.

Pros: Glutenfri brød, Pølsen, Kaffen

Cons: Maden, Service , Lydniveau

okay

Tried the 'Full English' breakfast. The scramble was too heavy on watery vegetables and too light on the tofu, and the beans tasted more like a mild chili than the sweeter baked beans I'm used to. The home fries were very good, and the sausage was alright. So kind of a mix of good and bad components with this breakfast.

Also, the coffee was served in a small cup without a handle, and it was too hot to hold bare handed. Mildly irritating when a place chooses style over function.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, it’s really helpful. We’ll pass your comments on to the kitchen and team so we can take a closer look at the scramble and coffee setup. Glad to hear you enjoyed the home fries, and we’ll do our best to balance out the rest next time.

Great vegan grub

Had an early dinner here, essential to book. Had the Sri Lankan pilau with two curries and chutneys. Very tasty and surprisingly hot (spice-wise). Followed with the white chocolate tiramisu - delicious, although rather rich, especially as the portion was generous. Not the cheapest place to eat though - £38 inc 12.5% service charge for two courses and a soft drink. Thats London
for you. Thankfully I was on expenses!

Pros: Great choice from all-vegan menu , Tasty food

Cons: Not cheap
