Cafe Boheme

"Cafe Boheme is that rare restaurant that can both cure a hangover and create one. We have a feeling you’re probably interested in the latter so we’re going to go ahead and whisper the magic words: ‘Naked and French’. This is just one of the champagne cocktails available at the moody, all-day brasserie that’s the perfect faux Left Bank space to eat moules marinière and frites after midnight. It’s open until 3am on Saturdays and given its location in Soho’s LGBTQIA+ epicentre, you can expect live music and people merrily drinking out on the pavement seating until the early hours. " - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

"Cafe Boheme is the type of restaurant that can cure a hangover and create one. Open from early until late every day of the week, this French brasserie understands that not just meals, but life itself, takes place on Old Compton Street. It’s ready and waiting with 9am viennoiserie for shoppers with prolific Instagram handles, and it’s still reliably good for charcuterie and a glass of wine circa 2am on a Saturday night. Outside of the distinctly Left Bank look and regular live jazz nights, the menu is also the perfect fit for any Francophile’s moodboard. Some of the larger meat and fish dishes can be a touch dry, so it’s worth ordering with a Victor Hugo mentality—the classic soupe a l’oignon, fromages du jour, and zesty, white wine moules marinères are all safe bets. It’s one of our favourite Soho spots for a date night drink with polite pâte nibbles, especially when the sun hits the alfresco pavement tables and romancing is both desired and required. photo credit: Safia Shakarchi" - Heidi Lauth Beasley

"A Soho institution reopened in January 2018. Cafe Boheme, a competent imitation French bistro on the corner of Old Compton Street and Greek Street, has been missed since its closure for refurbishment in 2016. The best thing on the menu are classics, like steak frites and escargots with smoked bacon and garlic, can be ordered until the early hours — the kitchen closes at 3am, making it an anomaly with peculiarly irony in what is one of the great centres of London night life." - James Hansen, Adam Coghlan
