Nessa Soho

The food was 10/10!! The service was a tad slow that night but staff were all very kind regardless. The pear, kale & squash salad was delicious, the whipped butter that came with the rolled out soda bread was so soft and airy, and of course the sea bream was absolutely divine, we literally ate in silence and didn't even spare time to snag a photo because it was THAT good. The mocktails and the jaffa dessert were also amazing! This’ll be on my top recommended!

Absolutely loved my visit to Nessa! The pancakes were epic—light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The chicken burger was also delicious: perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with taste. The team was super friendly and welcoming, creating such a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Service was spot on without ever feeling rushed. A fab spot for brunch or a casual bite—can’t wait to go back!

Went on Sunday 31/08 for a birthday brunch with 10 of my friends. I must say, STEFANIA, the lovely, professional yet welcoming was superb. She catered and assisted EVERY person on the table and we was quiet a handful but she managed it very well from the specific orders to cake preference which the pricing was absurd but she made me feel at ease paying it all with delight that’s how great she is. She is an asset to the team, will actually be telling all my peers to Visit this restaurant just because of STEFANIA, thank you for making our Sunday a great a service! She deserves a raise

£1 oyster! Good selection of brunch items. I didn’t like the fact that the Bloody Mary had no celery (or celery salt). Overall nice hangout place relatively speakeasy but the furnitures were not comfortable for sitting through the brunch.

Visited Nessa in Soho for a birthday celebration. The location is convenient (close to pubs like the Glass Blower), but the ambience was not enjoyable if you want to have a conversation. The dining room is split between a bar area and an open-plan kitchen with very low lighting. Once the room filled up, the noise level became overwhelming. We were seated between a table of four and a table of eight and had to move because it was impossible to hear each other. Definitely not ideal for celebrating an occasion. Drinks: Cocktails were average for the price — lots of ice, not much depth of flavour. Food: • Rolled oat soda bread with cultured butter — excellent, the butter was creamy and rich. • Cheese & onion croquettes (£9) — portion of five, tasty with the mustard mayo. • Aged beef rump tartare (£12) — heavily bulked out with bread, so the actual beef portion felt small. • Chargrilled seabream (£28) — very disappointing: dry, skin inedible, sauce overly oily. • Roast rump of West Country lamb — deliciously cooked but the gravy was far too rich; left me feeling unwell. • Coal roasted cabbage (£13.5) — surprisingly excellent, nicely charred with a great dressing. • French fries (£5) — crisp and well done. • Jamaica ginger sticky pudding (£7.5) — enjoyable, not too sweet, but small portion (enough for 2–3 to share). Overall: A mixed bag. Some dishes (bread, croquettes, cabbage) were very good, others (seabream, lamb) were disappointing. The cocktails were forgettable. Service was fine, but nothing special was done for the birthday we were celebrating beyond a candle in the dessert. If you want lively Soho energy and don’t mind shouting across the table, you might enjoy it. But if you’re looking for somewhere to talk, celebrate, or enjoy consistently great food, this isn’t the spot.

Well, super expensive for the size of the dishes and the service slow and missed two of the 8 items we ordered. Thankfully, they did not included those in the bill. The “carbonara” please change the name it is misleading and nothing like a carbonara, I am sorry I am from Rome and we take the carbonara very seriously. The soda bread basket £7 is just not right. The chargrilled beans and peaches (a bit too oily) very tasty though, and so are the beans and courgettes. The butter is scrumptious and the selection of the menu is good. Too pricey though

This spot is really lovely, with great staff and a beautiful aesthetic. The selection was great and the cocktails were strong. A great place for a date night, work dinner, family get togethers and more. More suited for adults.

This has officially become my No. 1 business breakfast spot. Big thanks to my friend for the recommendation and to the team for the warm hospitality. The ambiance is great for biz conversations. I’ve been missing Cali pancakes, and the one I had here was fantastic, honestly even better than the one I had at the Four Seasons Park Lane with my family last year. Will definitely be coming back
