Soho

Soho is a very popular area... no matter what I usually end up in or around Soho... whether it is for coffee, dinner, shopping, or fun... Soho has it all!

What's on in Soho?

Located just west of the London city centre, Soho is one of London’s most popular entertainment districts and just like most things in London... it's packed with history. Soho may be the city’s answer to a red-light district but has equally been characterised by its many late-night events, live music scene, and film industry ties. Today, Soho remains one of London's biggest attractions for both locals and tourists...

Soho: London’s primary gay scene, pubs, nightclubs, cafes, art galleries, theatres, burlesque joints and jazz bars.

Nearby areas are Mayfair to the west, Chinatown to the south, Covent Garden to the east and the Strand to the south east.

About Soho:

Located in the Borough of Westminster. It has been home to the likes of Eric Clapton, Brian Jones, the Sex Pistols and artist and personality Sebastian Horsely. Monuments of its seedy past have now become cultural icons including the famous Windmill Theatre where a once burlesque stage now hosts comedy nights.

Location: Very close to Oxford Circus Tube Station/Regents Street area

I ordered their sunblushed tomato and buffalo mozzarella risotto cake served with wilted spinach, green beans and grape mustard cream sauce 

It was delicious! This was my second time eating it and it was just as good as the first and definitely won't be the last.

Mildred's is a small place with weird bondage type art tiles on the walls...that doesn't take reservations so prepare to show up early and then wait about 30 minutes for a table.  No worries though because you can grab a drink at the bar, stand outside in the heart of Soho and people watch until your table is ready.

Mildred's exterior

The staff is excellent and out of the three times that I have eaten their I see familiar faces so that's always a great sign.  Prices are fair and the food is tasty!

Not the best angle, but this is the burrito. I've eaten it once, but this one is Mike's.
burrito filled with black turtle beans, corn and red pepper topped with tomato lime salsa, guacamole, smoked cheddar and sour cream served with leaf salad

 I must admit that I am a meat eater, but their food is so good here that I don't even miss it.

Can't wait to go back again! See you soon!

Yum,
