Word of mouth is clearly the best means of advertisement. It is how I heard about Mildreds restaurant, and evidently, it was how the diners forming the hour long queue had heard.
It is not easy to get a table within this beautiful restaurant. The sumptuous teal colours along with the softy sparkling fairy lights sets the tone for a soothing vegetarian meal. The idyllic image presented here may sound good and well, but the reality was the queue was far too long, and the hour and a half wait left myself and my friend seeking refuge at the front of the restaurant (next to the door, sat on a stool, with an ever-increasing crowd gathering around us).
Food wise, the menu is fantastic. It offers a variety of dishes ranging from pasta, salad, curry and stews. It even promises to placate those meat-eaters out there with a ‘burger of the day.’ I opted for the Cinnamon Spiced Stew with butter beans, butternut squash and quinoa, with my friend choosing the Sri Lankan Sweet Potato and Cashew Nut Curry, served with yellow rice. For many, vegetables evoke bland and often boring images. This was not the case. The curry and stew sauce, along with the variety of dips, added flavour, whilst the rice made for a fulsome meal. The result was a healthy yet fulfilling meal, with all the flavour often attributed to meat dishes. It is well worth a try, but perhaps not on a Saturday night.
