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.

    The food was very nice and fairly priced for Central London. Very friendly service. My only reason for the three stars is the noise levels, unbearable. People shouting, impossible to have a conversation. It is a shame, I would go back but the noise is way too stressful.

    Service was really slow. There was no burger available in the day time which seems odd especially as it’s on the menu on the website. Club sandwich had three small pieces of chicken and was not a club sandwich - only one layer, untoasted bread. There was no toilet paper in the ladies toilet and no one seemed concerned when I mentioned this.
    Café BohemeResponded on 25 November 2024
    Hi Miranda Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you did not enjoy the club sandwich; it is one of our most popular dishes and usually feedback is very positive, but it sounds like it wasn't up to standard in your case. The burger is not on our brunch menu, but after reviewing our website we think we could be clearer regarding which menu is available at any given time, so we will address this. I will contact you directly in the hope you decide to return so we can make up for this disappointing visit.

    Great atmosphere, busy, noisy and fun. Right opposite the theatre where we were going so really convenient. Staff were friendly and accommodating, food was very good and not too expensive considering the area. Only downside was quite a wait for our table to be ready as it was so busy. Service was quite slow after that. Not the place to go if your time is limited but a very enjoyable time.

    Our food was mostly good, but the mussels were disappointing. Service was a bit slow, but overall we had a good evening.
