Good for special occasions

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.

Didn’t have half the main course’s. Had to order what was our second choice, couldn’t leave as it was my son’s birthday and we were all so hungry. I asked for a desert to come with a candle a waiter brings the dessert drops it down in font of him goes to leave and says, on happy birthday. The 4 of us had had a great day up to this point but we wasn’t going to let it’s pole it. Very disappointing have had good experience before….

Lovely afternoon then just when food was over we went to the bar and the entertainment came to an end which was a shame. Going to book much earlier the next time.

Cafe Boheme is always a delight. Always reliable, warm and friendly with a great atmosphere. This was one of many visits. Perfect at any time but you must book to be sure if a table.

Fantastic location for a pre theatre meal. Beautiful decor and lovely live music. The pre-theatre set menu is excellent value for delicious food and the service was incredibly swift from an attentive waiter.

Lovely service and atmosphere, great place for a drink, but the food is ghastly and all overpriced. Steak full of gristle and a salad nicoise was blatatly pulled whole from a long spell in the fridge, with a greyish lump of dry tuna dumped on top. The dressing had seeped to the bottom and the whole affair was tooth-hurtingly chilled. I felt queasy for the rest of the evening.
