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.

    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).

    Dinner omelette was very disappointing. Avocado green salad was great. Bread warm and fresh. Very very noisy.

    The food was very nice and fairly priced for Central London. Very friendly service. My only reason for the three stars is the noise levels, unbearable. People shouting, impossible to have a conversation. It is a shame, I would go back but the noise is way too stressful.
    Café BohemeResponded on December 2, 2024
    Thank you for your kind words about our food and service! We’re sorry to hear that the noise levels affected your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and will work on improving the atmosphere. We hope to welcome you back soon for a more comfortable visit!
