About this restaurant

Lively
Charming
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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Café Boheme offers a "buzzing atmosphere," making it a perfect spot for a "pre-theatre meal" or "business meetings." Guests rave about its "amazing atmosphere" with "live music" and "attentive service." While some find it "noisy" and menu options occasionally limited, the "French onion soup" and "boeuf bourguignon" are standout dishes. Overall, it's a delightful slice of Paris in Soho.

Great lunch food & service, but environment so noisy (especially when singer played) that we could not hold a conversation, so left earlier than hoped.

Love the ambiance and food. However, it is way too loud. It makes it very difficult to have a conversation. I would come back though.

Although we made a reservation approximately 10 days in advance, we were seated at a very poor table. The staff member who showed us to our table did suggest another one at the front, but unfortunately, that spot wasn’t ideal either. We ended up sitting right next to the cutlery station, where the staff were loudly joking around with each other while polishing cutlery. It was very disruptive and took away from the dining experience. In terms of food, the price-to-quality ratio was decent and met our expectations. However, the same can’t be said for the coffee. They serve a “flat white” that is more like a latte in size and resembles a cappuccino in form. If you’re particular about coffee, it may not live up to your standards. Overall, while the food was satisfying, the atmosphere and service quality left much to be desired and negatively affected our overall impression.

We had an excellent meal. We have a house in France and this was the best French meal we have eaten in England. What more can you say!

Booked the day before for a pre theatre meal. Great buzzing atmosphere. Food delicious (moules / bavette frites & shared tarte tatin). Loved the fact the menu has smaller & larger meal options to suit. Service was quick which was great for us as we had limited time. Will definitely return when we have more time to have a more relaxed meal.

Dear Helen, Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Moules, bavette frites, and tarte tatin sound like a perfect combination! Can’t wait to see you again.
