In the heart of London’s Soho, Cafe Boheme has been serving French classics for over three decades. Offering an all-day menu centred around French favourites, including confit duck, steak frites and escargots – all dishes are based on traditional recipes.

The brasserie is inspired by the 19th-century poets who used to meet on Old Compton Street and features art-lined walls, a brass bar and mosaic tiled floor.

Head outside and dine al fresco for views across Soho or join us at the bar everyday from 3pm for live jazz.

    Average food, served very slowly. Automatic 12.5% gratuity is a bad joke

    Great location, lovely festive atmosphere. A very busy afternoon so although the waiting staff were lovely- it was very slow. The bar was full of used glasses, so maybe not enough staff working today. I’m sure on a less busy day it would be fab!

    Lovely evening, great service, super value, we had the pre theatre meal. French onion soup and Moule slightly under seasoned we thought. Crème brule is one of the best I’ve ever had 😋

    Food was lovely although limited. A number of items on menu were not available. But staff kindly compensated for this. Service was great and super friendly. The only down side was the music. It was soo loud could not hear any of the conversation at the table. We ended up shouting to each other. Based on this would not go again despite the nice food and great service

    My go to brasserie in the West End. Great service & a lovely atmosphere as always. We shared a charcuterie board followed by tuna niçoise & bavette, rounding out with the cheese plate between us. Delicious & good value.
