Having earned a star within a year of opening Gauthier Soho, Alexis Gauthier is described by Zagat guide as "...one of the Best New French food destinations in London...". With an emphasis on vegetables in all dishes, Alexis provides a seasonal tasting menu with the best possible ingredients (British where possible) all 100% plant based. All served in a chic Soho Townhouse where the staff really make you feel special. There are also five private dining rooms for parties of all sizes.

    Overall we really enjoyed our vegan dining experience at Gauthier Soho. The food was on the whole extremely good and tasty. However, we didn't appreciate having to ring and knock on the door about five times before we were let in, especially as it was a rainy day. We were also told that one couple couldn't share a flight of wine. We've been to many other high-end restaurants for tasting menus and having a half flight has never been an issue before. The sommelier was superb and provided an excellent service with good explanations of both the food and the wine. However, the other waiting staff could have done better. Nevertheless, as a vegan, I recommend this restaurant and the tasting menus. It would just be preferable if Gauthier Soho could improve on the above issues to make the entire experience amazing.

    The food was well presented and the plant based caviar was amazing . Nouvelle cousine doesn’t means that it’s acceptable to serve 1 raviolo or squirted of a cracker for the “ petit Dinner tester “ . The value is not appropriate £55 x person + Service ..= at least £75 x person . I

    Great dinner, the flavors were exceptional and the wine pairing absolutely marvelous. It is truly incredible how the spirit and taste of French cuisine is kept throughout a full vegan dinner even in the most meaty dishes. This should inspire other chefs for sure.

    I have dined at this restaurant multiple times, but strangely, I have never once been recognized as a returning guest. Each time, I am asked if it is my first visit, which feels impersonal, especially at a restaurant in this price range. I used to visit before Covid, and was curious to see how the transition to a fully vegan menu had evolved. Some dishes were enjoyable, and the effort is commendable, considering there’s no diary or other animal ingredients. However, others felt far too minimalistic to be considered a proper main course. A swede, for example, is an inexpensive ingredient—if it is the star of the dish, I would expect a more generous portion rather than it being rationed as though it were wagyu beef. Service was another point of concern. When we were handed the Grand Dîner menu and asked instead for the Petit Dîner, the waiter’s reaction made it seem as if this option didn’t even exist, despite it clearly being available. This was surprising. In the past, the restaurant had a team of well-trained French and Italian staff who could eloquently explain the dishes in multiple languages. This time, I struggled to fully understand what was being presented at the table. The absence of a sommelier was also noticeable; there used to be an excellent Italian sommelier who added to the experience. The physical state of the restaurant is another issue. The staircase beneath the carpet is worryingly squeaky and feels as if it may soon require urgent refurbishment. As for the meal itself, I enjoyed parts of it, but certain choices were puzzling. Starting with an amuse-bouche heavy on cumin meant that the spice lingered on my palate throughout the entire lunch. To then find cumin again in another dish felt repetitive and out of place, I expected a French dining experience, not one leaning toward Indian flavours. Overall, while I appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to its new direction, there are clear areas that need improvement.
