We are a natural wine bar and restaurant in the heart of Soho - we change our menu weekly and cook with the seasons using the best ingredients the season has to offer. Our menu is an eclectic array of dishes that we're either in the mood to eat or that take inspiration from a dish we've enjoyed somewhere along our journey. Whatever it is, we aim for it to always be a combination of simple cooking and delicious flavours.. This keeps us excited, and what we do at Ducksoup fresh and lively. We search out characterful wines for our wine list and work with a small number of suppliers who source well-made, honest natural and biodynamic wines from producers whose wine-making practices are carried out with love and care. We change our wine list by the glass as frequently as our food menu so that you (and we) get to enjoy new and interesting wines.

“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”-Imad AlarnabImad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

Really good value for money. Great independent restaurant. Food was incredible. Tea was not ideal, could have a few nice tea pots for single use on reserve for those having one after dinner. Curation of menu is awesome. Great flavours and pairings. Brilliant wine choice and options. Loved the complimentary champagne on arrival and dessert wine. Door does not clasp shut and often left open by guests creating a cold atmosphere. We ate at 6.15pm which was a perfect dinner time for a quiet evening meal and conversation. It gets louder at 8pm as a smaller restaurant when bookings get busier! Good vibe!

Lovely venue, great atmosphere, cosy and vibrant on a cold night!. We were originally seated near the door in quite a draft but on requesting another table we were moved promptly. Food was excellent my ricotta and truffle ravioli had a wonderful balance of flavours and my companions enjoyed their beef ragu pastas and the veg risotto (loaded with walnuts!). Service was friendly and attentive, would definitely return
