Chef Frances Atkins takes a walk to Nourish Plant Kitchen on Mayfield Grove and discusses why Harrogate residents are so lucky to have such a vast range of cafes right on their doorsteps.

In the Montpellier area of Harrogate there are at least six eateries, all serving to a high standard and all managing to have their own individuality.  They offer a variety of interesting experiences including loaded sourdough toasties, classic brownies, jam-packed sandwiches and nutritious, delicious smoothies, cajun chicken skewers, or perhaps eggs benedict, eggs royale or eggs florentine?

Years ago I used to frequent a café in Edinburgh that served fantastic vegetarian dishes reasonably priced and became very much part of my lifestyle. It was stimulating and tasty.

With that in the back of my mind I set off to investigate Nourish Plant Kitchen on Mayfield Grove, an inspirational vegan café. I set off with great enthusiasm looking forward to a different experience. Unfortunately so did many other people which says a lot for this atmospheric neighbourhood café.

By the very name Nourish one would expect it to be a comforting, fulfilling experience, which it was, but if in a hurry not a good idea.  Juices, smoothies, seeds and all things that are good for you it revealed a very tempting menu. With yoga mats and wellbeing influences adding to the atmosphere.

Yoga and wellbeing seem to be the order of the day at the moment as they are on offer at Gron Café, one of the cafés in Montpellier, in the form of a Yoga Brunch, a gentle vinyasa flow sequence with guided meditation at GoYoga followed by Juice and Brunch at Gron. Or perhaps a vegan cocktail that are also on offer.

I worked out I could have breakfast at Hoxton, elevenses across the road at the Brownie Café, Lunch at Gron and Supper at The Old Bell Inn.  Aren’t the residents of Harrogate lucky? This is all in the space of a concentrated area.
