Mallow Borough Market is a completely plant based restaurant at 1 Cathedral Street in London. Created by the team behind Mildreds, it sits beside one of the capital’s best known food markets and draws inspiration from the growers, makers and produce around it. The bright, contemporary room serves breakfast through to dinner.
The menu looks across several cuisines rather than treating vegan cooking as a narrow category. Seasonal vegetables, grains, pulses, tofu and mushrooms appear in dishes influenced by the Mediterranean, Middle East, South Asia and beyond. Small plates encourage sharing, while composed mains give each ingredient enough structure for a complete meal.
Current selections change with the seasons and have included tahini chickpeas, vegetable salads, croquettes, tofu makhani and a house burger. Breakfast, market set menus, afternoon tea and desserts provide different ways to experience the kitchen across the day. Although everything is plant based, guests with allergies should still consult the latest information before ordering.
Cocktails, alcohol free creations, fresh juices, coffee, beer and a varied wine list support brunch and evening visits. The restaurant also aims to minimise waste and source from small sustainable businesses, including suppliers within Borough Market. Mallow combines an ambitious international menu with a practical commitment to seasonal, lower waste restaurant cooking.

All our dishes are plant-based. Not all ingredients are listed on the menu. Speak to our team if you have any allergies or intolerances. Whilst we take all reasonable precautions to prevent cross contamination, as our food is prepared & freshly cooked to order, there may be a risk that traces of all allergens can be found in any dish. We do not have dedicated preparation or cooking areas in our kitchens for nut-free or gluten-free food, & fryers will have been used to cook both wheat & wheat-free dishes. As a result, we cannot 100% guarantee that there will be no cross-contamination. An optional service charge of 12.5% will be added to your bill for the benefit of all our staff.
