Great for brunch

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.

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.

Disappointing. We were anticipating enjoying a nice breakfast and instead it was rubbish. We were seated in the non descript front room and provided a be-grudged level of service which I suspect is reserved for walk-ins. The coffee was well made but the food from the breakfast menu was mediocre. Most frustrating, in retrospect, was despite telling the barrista upon entry and a server (who seemed put off and asked us if we actually arrived on time) at the end that we had a reservation we were contacted by Open Table as a no show (which is why we made a point of telling the server, Alas).
