Australian spot with SE Asian influences, generous portions



"Milk Beach is an Australian restaurant off Greek Street that feels like an airy Byron Bay beach club, complete with sofa-like booths and plentiful foliage. The lunch menu wanders from nibbles to XO butter- and macadamia-sprinkled things from the robata that will make you forget your childhood aversion to mushrooms. The £56 sharing menu is also an excellent answer to the eternal question of ‘where to go for a team lunch in central’." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"“My Monday was truly Monday-ing when I stumbled into Milk Beach in Soho, tired and wanting to be comforted. Luckily this Australian all-day spot got the memo. This koji-marinated chicken was so juicy that I whipped out my phone to get a glistening money shot. The coating was crispy and each bite was improved by a generous swipe through fermented chilli mayonnaise. The only annoying thing about it is that they call it a ‘schnitty’ and not a schnitzel. But even on a Monday, that wasn’t enough to put me off.” - SC" - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Milk Beach has a laid-back sense of cool that's contagious. By day, carefree staff and the abundance of avocados on sourdough transports you from Soho straight to a Byron Bay beach club. At night, the lighting becomes dim and flirty—like us after a few Negronis. The menu is Australian, with South East Asian influences: think, a moreish miso butter for dunking potatoes, Sichuan peanut crumb scattered over aubergines, and fermented chilli mayonnaise that we suggest hoarding." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

At night, the lighting becomes dim and flirty—like us after a few negronis. Tables for two hug the edges of the room—because privacy is needed when chilli oil from excellent mushroom dumplings starts dribbling down your chin. And in the centre of the airy room, sofa-like booths demand big chicken schnitzel orders for big groups. The menu is Australian with South East Asian influences: a moreish miso butter for dunking potatoes, Szechuan peanut crumb scattered over aubergines, and fermented chilli mayonnaise that we suggest hoarding. photo credit: Milk Beach photo credit: Milk Beach photo credit: Milk Beach Pause Unmute" - Sinéad Cranna
