If you're looking for an exciting food and drink hotspot, you couldn't do better than Soho, the beating heart of the West End. The area is home to a plethora of restaurants spanning across more than 20 cuisines which includes one-off restaurants, bars and new concepts which can’t be found anywhere else. With alfresco dining, seasonal promotions and one off dining experiences, Soho is the must-visit destination for visitors and Londoners alike.
From the much-anticipated, brand new opening, Miznon, with its Tel Aviv-style filled pitas to the intimate kitchen counter in Evelyn’s Table serving Southern European dishes Soho’s food and drink scene offers an unparalled choice of dining experiences.
A world of flavours
Kricket in Soho is always busy
The busy Soho branch of Kricket on Denman Street takes inspiration from India’s cooking scene. Blanchette, the playful French bistro with a modern twist, serves simple, classic and inventive French food and everyone loves Kiln, whose counter seats are always full of diners here for their sizzling clay pots and fiery Thai dishes, cooked on a wood-burning kiln oven and grills. Or how about Rita’s, on Lexington Street, where modern American dining meets seasonal British produce? Make sure you start with an El Madrina, you won't regret it!
Quick bite
Grab a bowl of ramen from Shoryu
If you're looking for a quick bite in between browsing at stores like Footpatrol, Axel Arigato, A.P.C and Oliver Spencer then grab yourself a fried chicken bao bun from BAO, a selection of dim sum at the Duck and Rice or a few tapas plates at Ember Yard.
Coffee culture through to cocktail hour
Enjoy a coffee in Söderberg's downstairs 1960s style lounge
Soho has an abundance of coffee shops to take you from espresso to espresso martini. Do as the locals do and hit up Flat White for your caffeine fix, located next to Berwick Street Market. For one of the hottest breakfast spots in town, head to The Breakfast Club or pop by Danish hotspot Söderberg for a sweet treat - their cinnamon buns are to die for. The area is also home to many classic British pubs like John Snow and The Blue Posts as well as speakeasy-style cocktail bar SOMA. For those looking to dance the night away The Pink Chihuahua is the place to go for some tequila based cocktails, find it hidden under El Camion. Morning or night, caffeinated or boozy, there's something for everyone.
Enjoy free weekly live music upstairs at The Blue Posts on Berwick Street or head to Nightjar in Kingly Court, a speakeasy-style subterranean bar with live jazz and blues, for cocktails and rare spirits.
