Mildreds
According to Mildreds' website, the original Soho location of this meatless classic started back in 1988, "when Soho was still edgy", and after being in business for more than 30 years, it is still going strong. The company hasn't been hesitant to adapt, and it now has four locations throughout London. Not just the food has been updated; all four of Mildred's locations now have a fully modern appearance and feel. Due to its history, it may be a tourist check-box activity for some, but that shouldn't deter more affluent customers.
Aside from remaining vegetarian-vegan, it has also significantly improved its plant-based cuisine over the past few years to the point where the few non-vegan dishes are now designated as the exceptions on the menu, although still being vegetarian-vegan. Along with offering Mildreds' renowned burgers, those menus have been made vegan and more international, featuring strong flavors from the Middle East, South and Central America, and Asia. Even if those burgers are well-known, the tastiest food these days can often be found in the sides and starters. For example, the heirloom carrots with hazelnut dukkah and tahini dish are bursting with flavor, as are the tamarind aubergine and tender stem broccoli with lemon miso.
