After many years of great service and great food it’s hard for me to say that on my last visit, after a two year absence, the food wasn’t up to scratch. The mussels tasted like they were fished out of the Thames and there was a lack of love and skill to the cooking that made me wish I’d spent my money somewhere else. As ever the cocktails and wine were lovely but unilateral conformity across all aspects of the business model, which includes the food, is what makes for a great bistro and good eating experience.

Delicious avocado toast. Very authentic place. The fresh orange juice is amazing, and just look at those eggs! Salmon is also stunning. Just great food, drink, and service.Not to mention the people watching around here.

My favourite french place in London. Very great atmosphere and delicious food. Amazing cocktails. Can’t wait to go back again for live jazz.

Go to Cafe Boheme for the ambience, if nothing else. The way the place is decorated - from the pictures covering the walls down to the lighting - makes it a perfect environment to enjoy dinner or drinks with friends. It really does feel like an upmarket French cafe.Staff were very friendly and attentive and were good at advising when they needed the table back for more guests. This was great as we didn’t feel rushed and when they did need to chivvy us along (after we had had the table for a good 2hrs) it didn’t come as a surprise. A really good balance of making sure we had everything that we needed, without being ‘too much’.Drinks and food were delicious and arrived in good time. I had the club sandwich and was very happy with it. Decent portion size and just yummy. Food menu is a little limited, which I didn’t mind, but fussy eaters might find it a bit restricting.Felt like good value due to the quality of the food/drink and the environment. I had a main and three glasses of wine and came to c. £40 with tip. Was very happy to pay that.

Perfect place to eat & taste French food. Lovely atmosphere, very quick service, lovely food. Highly recommend it

Came for wine and a quick bite - did not disappoint!

Love it here! Great atmosphere & fab setting on Old Compton St! Friendly & helpful staff, good choices on menu.Do not miss daily jazz/blues sessions from 1500-1700.(Check website for details)

Great good and really friendly staff

We had dinner here one evening in London, the atmosphere was lovely, candlelit and good music. I did have to send my burger back because it was burnt and we had a couple of hiccups with cold fries etc with the steaks but our server was fantastic, he was really apologetic and took my dish off the bill. He did also offer to get a fresh one made but I wasnt too bothered about another so the manager also came over and gave us a round of drinks for free too.The customer service was so good we would definitely come back even though the food wasnt perfect on the night.

Sat outside in heated seating and had some pisco sours. Delicious, on the sweet side. Waiters were attentive and gave us a seat inside when the outdoor seating closed at 11. Nice vibe inside too, a little dark and good energy.

Beautiful ambiance with live music and good food.

Good food & service @ reasonable prices for Soho

Really nice place, the atmosphere is very romantic, with dim light and French music! The food is very classic French, so not many vegetarian options but we had a good cheese selection (of course) and the plant-based burger. Strongly recommend the cocktails as well!

Went for breakfast midweek and had a great experience. The restaurant is Parisian themed and played a soundtrack of early 20th century French ballads. The food and drinks were great and the service swift and attentive. Located in the heart of soho, I’d certainly recommend cafe Boheme.

Le food, the atmosphere and even this Sassy French cider was everything. Will definitely go back. This my favourite new spot in the heart of Soho and a little of France in London.

Our waiter Xavier gave us great service, and the food was excellent.. It was lovely sitting outside and we will definitely be back. Thank you x

Caution: do yourself a favour and avoid this awful place.Ive been a regular at Cafe Boheme for several years now, and am aware of the fact that they regularly change staff, and for this reason I did not dwell on the minor things that happen every now and then (e.g. rude staff, wrong orders, outdated milk in the coffee that gave me cramps!, etc...). Yet today, as myself and my partner drove there for coffee and food, I asked the waiter (who knows were regulars) if he could keep one of the outside tables for us for literally 2 minutes as I park up and return. He said of course, and even began cleaning the leftovers in preparation for our return. I go off, park up, pay for parking, only to return and find that the table has been taken. I ask the waiter and he says, yeah, its taken. Then someone else comes along, who said she was a manager or supervisor or something like that and, with an air of entitlement, tells us that they cannot reserve outside seats. I try and explain that I went into the whole effort of finding and paying for parking only because they assured me that they could, but all she did was to repeat herself like a broken record. As I got more and more frustrated, she blindly yelled into my face that they basically cant do anything about it and that we should just leave, while, at the same time, dragging on the other waiter to prevent him from making any explanations. Ultimately we went off and had our food & coffee elsewhere. This, however, is the WORST way that anyone can ever handle anything. Zero courtesy, zero manners and zero social or customer service skills. I mean, youre supposed to be the manager, manage the situation instead of yelling at me and repeating whatever insults you had to say. Its appalling, shows complete lack of respect or customer care, and we definitely wont be returning.I suggest you start by investing some of that 12% service charge into training your staff to gain some manners and basic communication skills.

Super bar, excellent service! In particular a shout out to the lovely waitress with Irish roots from Cork!

A great and atmospheric place situated on Old Compton Street. The food was good and service great. The only downside was that they did not have the order I wanted and wasnt informed until my order went in.

I can only add to the positive reviews. I loved this place, breakfast was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Cant wait to return for dinner one day.

Vibey, good food, good service, solid prices, overall nice spot. Highly recommend chicken liver parfait.Portion sizes were a bit small for mains (Bavette steak) but otherwise beyond reproach.Pasquale

The bartender umut is fantastic, he makes the best margaritas in the house Soho House a recommended place to spend a good evening on a London night

Went for breakfast midweek soon after opening time, and really enjoyed the place. wonderful retro atmosphere, impeccable service, perfect for a relaxed start of the day (and to enjoy a cosy conversation). good coffee and food too

Was there last night, great service and the Italian guy behind the bar knows his business. Will come back there, every time I visit town, great place and great service. 👍👍

Fantastic food and service. Cant wait to visit again

Hit and miss experience. The venue and location is amazing, love the atmosphere. Its noisy, loud music, dim lights, candles. The wine selection is good and very reasonably priced. The food was hit and miss. The onion soup was delicious and a meal in itself! The crab starter was a little disappointing as the bread was overly charred. For main, the quiche had a gorgeous, soft buttery base but over-salted filling, and the Toulouse sausage with pomme puree was incredibly tough.Overall, I had a good evening so would definitely come back and try something else, but wasnt overly wowed like most people.

Honestly one of the best services that Ive ever had in a restaurant due to being so friendly and accomodating.

Impeccable service and the food was even better!!Really!Omelette was so perfectly made that it melts in the mouth!Salad wow simple but made properlyAnd the croquet monsieur was light and not greasyDefinitely coming back👌

Lovely decor, very traditional menu. Sit outside and watch the world pass by

All the staff were lovely, each one grayed us a we entered. The fajitas were amazing! The burgers looked pretty good too. Quick service, great bar and decor.

Great place to sit outside and people watch. Lovely staff, really friendly and helpful.

Lovely French style establishment, great art on the walls and a fun brunch selection

LOVELY Jazz music and super cool place.I love the escargot there!

Geez, where to start with breakfast today at Cafe Boheme. I’ve been here numerous times for drinks but never for food. I ordered the veggie breakfast with a flat white. The breakfast arrived and it was cold, the coffee was an Americano instead of flat white, so I had to wait 30 mins for correct coffee. I asked for salt & pepper and sauce for breakfast, never arrived, and the toast was cold, dry with no butter. It was just a bit of shambles really. Lastly, to top it off I booked via Open table, the restaurant advised I didn’t turn up for my reservation! :-(

Staff are polite, efficient and professional. On a Sunday they offer a choice of roasts, but they also do other food like succulent half chicken, 2 fat sausages, salmon. This place is great, I drink and eat hete almost every day.

I work in soho so always good to check out the competiton...Good service... Fabulous shots... Lovely security... And management ❤️

Complete disrespect... the greek security guard came to talk and flert with somewomen that werein my table.. needs to know what it means to be a man first; respect and everything.

Excellent place to sit and watch passers by. Great cocktails and French music

Really good food and lovely ambience. Will definitely frequent.

Friendly great food and service. The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging. Staff were helpful and attentive even though it was busy. If you are going to a show this makes a great dinner or drink beforehand.

Service: as with many reviews, the services is slow and haphazard. They wont remember to bring everything ordered and despite not being busy on my recent visit, simple things took considerably longer than expected. This didnt happen with everything we ordered either, which was a mystery.Ambience: if youre hoping to have some personal space, look for somewhere else. Cafe Boheme was always known for cramming the customers in and even COVID hasnt been able to change that. The tables on the outside are apparently for 2-3 people sitting on a bench next to each other, but think of them as a large table for 1. Other peoples elbow, spittle, food scraps and cigarette smoke is shared with you. Youll be squeezed for legroom too. Apart from the above, its a nice place to sit facing the road and watch people walk past, under the umbrella.Food: this is an all day café without personality, faux French bistro, e.g. steak frites, burgers, salads, omelettes, etc. None is done well or presented beautifully. Greasy low quality food at best.Prices: they were never cheap, but since COVID they have become more expensive and there is the 12.5% service charge which is too much to ask when the service is bad and the waiting staff uninterested. Expect to pay £50 for a small lunch.

I have been to this place multiple times. before covid it used have an amazing atmosphere. i’ve booked it twice in the last month and the service has been awful. the waiter had a horrible attitude and literally was trying to ignore us the entire time. please avoid it!

Was here today with the gf. We had pea soup and snails for our entrees and then steaks for our main course with a raspberry tart for desert. I also got a beer and Americano. The snails were overall fine, and the bacon with it was quite good. The pea soup was alright but i was not a big fan of it. Both our steaks were fine and overall decent quality. The raspberry tart was very refreshing and overall a nice desert. Americano on the other hand was fairly horrible, and i barely took two sips of it. The beer was of high quality.There was also live music which was great. The place was fairly noisy though.

Dreadful service dreadful food. Sloppy, rough and ready. Makes Wetherspoons look posh!

My friend and I are regularsWe enjoy the like music every evening. All the staff are always so friendly and helpful.This time we had the Camembert to start with then steak tartar with fries with a bottle of roseI’ve had steak tartar in a few places but can never beat this placeThe atmosphere here is always so amazing. I love the decorations m

Lovely food and a very pleasant covid safe and friendly experience

Great food and fun place for a night out in London.

Such a cool place - sat outside for lunch as covid restrictions in place.. Great service and plenty to look at walking by ✔👌

Fantastic! Great wineClassy place

Nice and open minded place. Good for couples or dates. Its close to many theatres so its good to make some time before if you are coming to a venue. They sell cocktails, wine, coffee, cakes and some bar food. Nothing too fancy.

Nice dim lighting place to have some drink at late night in central

Best place for drinks and late night food

Great food, good prices, cute atmosphere. Service is kind, but a little slow.

Really nice design. Ok food and service.

O.M.G. have I got news for you!My friends introduce me to his little secret in gay SoHo and I thought um ha huh?When we got there and I saw the crowd and the heard the hippie / jazzy / 60’s music I thought I had gone back in time.The food is outstanding - pls order the rib eye steak medium rare!Cheap as SH-t rose wine!Waiters are funny and funky. Just don’t rush them.Between 3-6pm during the week there is a 2-piece Dixie band saying blues, jazz, whatever to make you feel like you are on a high without the dope.Go tomorrow! You wont be disappointed.

On a very cold lunch outside enjoy lunch with close friends.waitress was brilliant & helpful 👍

Great food, great service!

Beautiful décor in this French brazerie located in the heart of Soho. Plenty of seating and a bar so you can come and relax with coffee, drinks. The windows were open and people sitting outside in the sidewalk you almost felt like you were in Paris!!The menu was good with a wide range of foods from breakfast, light plates, sandwiches and salad and main meals.The service was quick and the waiting staff were very friendly. Everyone in my party really enjoyed the food and we had a wide variety from the menu. The bevette steak and chips were really good just right for a lunch meal.Will definitely go back next time Im in Soho with the Mrs and have a romantic mean for two!

Quality food, generous portions with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Food & drinks we’re good but the male manager was rude & dismissive. It will be nice to have some manners and approached customer/s nicely!

Mixed batch of experience. Surprised by the high ratings here.

Absolutely loved it. Coffee was delicious. Mocktail was nice, slightly pricey, but sort of expected. All the staff were lovely and helpful. The best bit was the live jazz - this was early afternoon on a Monday - it was like being in a film. It was wonderful. Would go out of my way to go back here

Toilets, unfortunately, are not clean enough.

Loved it for a Pre theatre meal.Reasonably priced. Excellent ribeye as well as veggie options.Staff very friendly.Literally a stones throw from the prince Edward theatre.

Great cafe, excellent coffee and very friendly/helpful staff.

We had the breakfast/brunch deal which was quite good value, I thought the servings were on the small side for some people, however it filled me up fine. The bacon and egg roll was really good, everything cooked well -Crispy bacon and perfect egg and crispy brioche bun. My husband had the omelette which we had to send back because there was nothing but egg and wed ordered the lot with it, when we did get the right order it was alright but then again how great can an omelette be!?

Delicious food in a french athmosphere. The staff was very friendly and there were many options for vegetarians.

Perfect place with perfect breakfast and perfect staff...I love it.

Atmosphere in this place is great, live music and quality cocktails. Strongly recommend, feels like you travel back on time on a sunny day when they open the windows

Expensive...in the heart of soho but. Good service

Classic bar and eatery in the heart of Soho. Been going there for over twenty years.

Really nice evening out here post-lockdown - everything felt almost normal but still very safe. Big thanks to Brett and Xavier who were so accommodating, kind, and funny!

Perfect service and perfect drinks. Concerned about lack of social distancing and the music volume inside was too high making everyone talk louder spreading the coronavirus germs. Maybe this is just the way life is now, but means Im only prepared to visit bars outside for now. Perfect service by the team though.

Lovely avocado dish

Really good full English breakfast

Quite literally the most disgusting customer service Ive ever experienced.Was stood outside waiting to be seated, politely said hello and smiled to the waitress who walked past us 3 times and completely ignored us instead of responding like a normal decent person. (still made eye contact with us after we asked if we could come in, just decided to barge past us and pretend we were invisible - how much effort does it actually take to simply say sorry were full??)Hard to believe some peoples manners are so atrocious - however Im very glad I didnt end up giving any of my money to this disgrace of a place 👍

Yeah, really good. It was loud, but if you dont let that bother you the service and food was very good. I had the pork and duck terrine then the beef tartar for the entree and both were fantastic.

The best value lunch (or early dinner) in Soho. Reliable, timeless and good value prix fixe. Many happy memories from working at various restaurants nearby and coming here on breaktimes or for a post-shift drink.

Great breakfast and friendly service!

Really nice little restaurant. The food was simple but incredibly well made. I usually find Soho restaurants overpriced but this is great value for money and lovely ambiance.

Not bad. Best thing is it close at midnight.

Always a good experience

Nice place. Bit mix up with our orders but after all everything was great.Recomend 👍

Really nice chilled out vibe, good for people watching and with the street outside closed you can sit out now as well.

Its a shame that the outdoor tables are always so sticky, as they are no cleaned properly.

Terrible service. Poor food. Unimpressed. Have a burger at Patty and Bun for a better time and save your money and time.

Realy nice food and environment, amendment a bit slow, but completely acceptable for the corona moment. Happy with my experience.

Great little cafe bustling with people friendly atmosphere

Nice place to eat

Absolutely fantastic evening, great food and drink, great prices , atmosphere was buzzing very busy, service brilliant, would certainly recommend this place very much worth a visit great evening 😀

Nice place in soho, often live music in the afternoon, professional staff.

Quaint cafe in the heart of Soho. Met my good friend David for light supper.

Horrendous service! Im literally here waiting for 25 minutes for the waiters to come and take my order. I had to go to the bar and complain so I could have someone coming to my table. Avoid! There are literally a thousand other places around with better service.

Delicious food and great service. I was with a vegetarian and vegan and they got great food options. I had the mussels which were delicious. It was busy and vibrant but even though there were a lot of people waiting we got a table after 15 minutes. Pretty good considering its across from Aladdin theatre. Would go back.

Love this place. Great for Brunch/lunch/dinner/supper. Staff are absolutely amazing. Fantastic authentic vibe.

Great food, amazing staff and very good vibes. In this place they all great from the bar to the floor is all very nice and the service is spot on. I go there very often and I stay there as much as I can because the music and the vibes are original and unique...is the best place in Soho for a drink with good people around...you wont be disappointed...

Was ok nothing special to be honest. Had a feeling it was more like pub food more than anything. Service is questionable at tine with the server just taking the side when they think you are done.

Fantastic gin spot.

Great place! Alright prices.It’s definitely not the place if you are looking for a quite dinner, but it is a good place to enjoy with friends.I specially recommend the duck leg! It’s superb!BOOK IN ADVANCE

Always a great place to meet friends in central London – the place is so effortlessly cool.Fantastic for typically French snacks and light meals – my favourite is the Croque Madame, the club sandwich is great, and the fries are to die for.Live music often happening in the bar area, which is always crammed, but head through to the restaurant area and youll often be able to squeeze in at the weekends and during the week.One of my favourite places for a quick bite in all of London.
