Millennium

I’m in San Francisco this week and no vegan trip to this city is complete without eating at Millennium. It has been around for many years now, more than 10. There is a cook book and it always pops on vegan restaurants to visit.

What Millennial does that others do not, is expertly mix flavors. The experience is so unique that I have nothing to compare. There is such a flavor smorgasbord that it can feel overwhelming to order. My recommendation, ask the server to help and stick to flavors you know you enjoy to start. I picked an entree with artichokes and polenta and hoped for the best regarding the rest. I was not disappointed. It was delicious.

I also asked for the daily artisanal bread and and spread that was a black lentil and caraway yumminess.

I could not leave without at least trying a dessert and selected the cranberry creme brûlée with Douglas Fir coconut ice cream. See what I mean about flavors? I have never had creme brûlée, so this option was extra fun. It was very good and too sweet for me to finish.

I left with a happy tummy. Millennium gets 5 out of 5 vegan cupcakes. It’s inventive, leads with the natural goodness of flavors, and never disappoints.

A helpful tip if visiting. The place is always full with reservations. Either make a reservation before coming to San Francisco or be willing to sit at the bar. I was dining alone and got a seat at the bar right away on a Saturday night.
