"Bloomsbury’s Noble Rot is good at many things: slip sole, for one, and dropping cortisol levels for another, so of course it’s A/C’d up. This place is a life-saver, not least when your face is rapidly turning into an animated slice of cheese on toast. Head to this charming wine bar and European-leaning restaurant when you need cold air, cold wine, and sh*t-hot focaccia." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"Noble Rot's Soho location is right in the thick of it on Greek Street. Despite no official bar area, this sibling spot to the original Bloomsbury location retains the magical sounds of chatter and clinking glasses, alongside the reassuring glug of wine being poured. Add in the changing European menu, with dishes like chicken liver parfait, ricotta gnocchi, and chocolate mousse with brandy prunes, and you have the perfect early evening to before-bedtime venue." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"In a city full of rising costs and villainous landlords, the consistent value and deliciousness of Noble Rot’s set lunch menu shines through. The Greek Street restaurant is a yellow-lit, velvet-clad space that harks back to long lunches of Soho old. The daily changing, European two-course set menu is £24 (£28 for three) and you can eat anything from roast chicken with riz au pilaf to pork and apricot terrine—while the wine list is much, much longer." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"The longstanding gold standard of set lunches, Noble Rot offers one of London’s best deals at their restaurants in Bloomsbury, Soho, and Mayfair. If you’ve got £30-ish knocking about, this is where you spend it. You won’t get better-value fancy-ish restaurant cooking anywhere else. The set lunch menus change daily but expect lovely, light-touch, European-leaning things like braised chicken leg with beans and aioli before finishing with some kind of tart or homely pudding." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
