    What a fabulous, buzzy place. A few simple but classy food options from the kitchen shared with restaurant Levan next door, and a fantastic drinks menu ranging from mezcal to a handful of well-chosen organic/biodynamic wines by the glass, all served by a really friendly team. Couldn't ask for much more

    Soif is a little slice of wine-fueled magic on Battersea Rise. The food? Effortlessly delicious. The low-intervention wines — each glass tells a story. And the service? Like dining at a friend’s house (if your friend happens to be effortlessly cool and really knows their way around a wine list). A proper gem!

    Really good food and affordable prices. It was a special occasion, so I wish the staff were a bit more attentive and took care with our orders. Our waitress seemed a bit impatient as some of our party hadn’t quite decided what they wanted from the set menu. When we did order, one of our orders were forgotten, so we had to wait a bit so that we could eat together. Perhaps our waitress was having a bit of a hard day as it did get busy at the time of our visit. It’s a shame as we’d been to Bordelaise a few times before and always enjoyed it.
