Mildred's Temple Kitchen

Last Year #86

Made from concrete, stainless steel and wood. They filter tap water via reverse osmosis and bring it to the table either flat or sparkling, and the menu is one of the most vegetarian-friendly in a non-veg restaurant: Chickpea and lentil stew with goat's milk yogurt and parsley root bhaji has terrific flavours: It's tomato-based with moderately applied sweet spices (cinnamon, cloves and cardamom). Stellar items are Italian bread soup with deep rich garlic broth with crunchy bread topped with melted pecorino. Ricotta gnocchi are blessed by crisped sage leaves, caramelized onions and smoky Berkshire bacon. Roast veg puffed pastry tart with stracchino hangs together harmoniously - onion, beet and zucchini atop flaky pastry, all bathed in sharp tangy melted stracchino cheese. Heirloom carrots are pureed into vinaigrette to enrich a fragile salad.
