Excellent chips to accompany my fish , will pick a better cocktail next time. Recommend to anyone seeking a relaxed place to eat after shopping or on a first date ????

Eloise Eaton

Breakfast or brunch in this cozy restaurant is always on my London list. Pancakes , black pudding , sourdough toast or eggs Benedict are all excellent. The servers are always fun, efficient & friendly .

Sander Zuurhout

Nice atmosphere in the heart of gay London. Highly recommend the falafel plate for just 9£. The salmon nudels had no Asian taste, ask for some soy sauce and you will be fine.

Eloise Eaton

Late night desserts are fantastic. Doughnuts , cheesecake & chocolate mousse were amazing. Great service & a lively atmosphere . Best in Soho.

Leon Ward

The best brunch in Soho. The staff are so lovely and it's very reasonable. You can also do a bit of twink and bear spotting. On Sundays, yummy mummies take over the place! ????

Richard Delaney

If you can, grab a seat outside and watch the world go by. There's nowhere else in Soho gives you the combination of great people watching & friendly service !

Veronica Valls Arias

I went for breakfast and I had it the best pancakes in town , I ordered fruit pancakes , presentation was gorgeous and taste even better!!! Staf was really nice ♥♥

Clayde Baumann

The front area is better for conversation mode. Back area for hustle and bustle. The truffled chicken liver starter is orgasmic and the Thai curry is always a safe bet. The Chilean Merlot is gorgeous!

Alexandros C

24/7 good food and delightful staff . Extremely convenient for late night dinner and drinks! Breakfast is also awesome!!! A favorite stop when in town !

Daniel W

Always reliable for food after a night out, great food and staff . They stop serving drinks after a while and you can’t be too intoxicated if you want to get in.

Lizzy Cook

You can't go wrong! Try Sea Bass , Balans Burger or Thai Red Curry . Go for Pornstar martinis . Waiting staff are quick & entertaining.

"What time do you close? "Christmas ?" Great place for a meal after a night out, or early morning hangover cure . A regular spot after a great night out. Highly recommended.

Bonbon

Perfect place to have breakfast on a weekend, as the restaurant take bookings . Friendly staff and nice packaging for the match!

Firat Yurday

Fun place almost everyday it is busy not very quiet place to chat especially evenings per person with alcohol around 40£ food is avarage service friendly

Sergey M

Awesome scallops as a hot starter and delicious duck of two kind as a main course! The staff is very friendly and smiley ;-)

Ben Adelie

Recently renovated to match the more fashionable restaurants nearby. But the service remains spotty, missed orders, spilt drinks, sold up cocktails , and a food menu without a common thread.

Kristof Harling

Seafood Jambalaya was fantastic. Also make sure you ask for the cocktail list - there are almost always specials.

Darrell East

Great service. Food well presented and steak cooked just perfect!

Shreena

I love everything about this small chain of restaurants . Great food, brilliant staff , gorgeous clientele. The cafe up the road is good for late night eats too.

Sara Feldmann Brummer

The new dessert sticky toffee brûlée is absurdly delicious, but a huge portion ! Share with a friend when you go, I was on my pen today and couldn't finish it...

Ian C

There's a good mix of American and British breakfast food for anyone longing for a hearty breakfast with American-style pancakes .

YJ Han

Has a lovely Christmas drink here with a full of lovely Christmas mood. Staffs are kind and cocktail were good enough.

Oliver Shreeve

A good place to eat if you need to eat late. Think of it as an elaborate bistro with cocktails and house music .

Chris R (thechristophe)

A few upgrades but it is still the same. That ambience of being in a Habitat inspired showroom is still there. The gnocchi and halloumi are decent vegetarian options .

Kevin Dulin

The food was decent but pretty overpriced for what it was.

Scott Wallis

Super friendly staff . Even if it looks crowded , tables turn quickly. Go in and belly up to the bar . This American felt very much at home.

WishlistEtc

All time classic. The place to go for brunch in Soho if you are a big group without a reservation .

Sarah SG.

Pretty good pancakes ; it’s a shame it’s drenched in maple syrup to the point it becomes unbearable. Make sure to ask for it on the side.

Angel Lam

Can't go wrong with the high society egg Benedict or pancakes

Dominic Diesel

Kir Royale has to be my favourite cocktail with a nice Steak and hand-cut chips ...mmmmm good food, nice staff , a little on the pricey side, but nice comfortable and enjoyable evening Read more

Delicious linguine and gnocchi complimented by excellent service. Always a winner.

The burger is spot on, the falafel is quite tasty, and the linguini with seafood is quite good
