Mildreds Kings Cross

You're walking down Pentonville Road in Kings Cross and you spot Mildreds—and yeah, it's busy, because word got out. This is vegan cooking that doesn't apologise or lecture; it just delivers. The kitchen takes global inspiration and runs with it, plating up the kind of food that makes you forget you're eating vegetables. Order the seitan, grab a cocktail, and settle into a lively but genuinely warm room where you're surrounded by people who actually want to be there. It's packed for a reason.
