Lively
Charming
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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Café Boheme, nestled in the heart of Soho, exudes a "Parisian" atmosphere with a vibrant ambiance and friendly staff. Renowned for its "immaculate vibes" and live jazz, it's a go-to spot for French cuisine lovers. While noise levels can be high, the "freshest oysters" and attentive service make it a memorable dining experience. Perfect for theatre-goers, it offers good value with its fixed-price menu and diverse options. Although service can occasionally falter during busy times, the charming setting and "super friendly" staff keep patrons coming back.

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.

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.

Good food and excellent service We visited just before 5 p.m. on a Saturday, in between the two Harry Potter plays. At this time, the crowds and noise levels were overwhelming. So we were delighted to find that the service was highly organised and professional, our orders were taken and food delivered promptly. The brunch menu stops at 5 so we were able to order from both. Food is good value, I especially recommend the crème brûlée: The 13.5 service charge was less welcome.
