"It doesn’t get more Soho classic than Quo Vadis. A few glasses of wine, their smoked eel sandwich, a little eavesdropping. Sign us up any day, any week, and any lifetime. Plus their outside seating, a mixture of boothy type things and tables on Dean Street, is great." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"There are two kinds of respite in attritional heat. One is the kind that sees you collapse through the doors of Argos, arms outstretched, completely ready to spend three figures on a fan that looks like it will one day become sentient. The other is to go to British restaurant Quo Vadis. The Soho stalwart not only has wonderfully officious air conditioning, but it also makes a martini so crispy and so robust that your senses may just forget to register the temperature. The eel sandwich is excellent too." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"Show us a map of Soho and with muscle memory we can point out Quo Vadis’ location, mentally marked with a pin in the shape of a frosty, crisp martini. This spot is a modern Great British classic where smoked eel sandwiches and old-school cocktails roll into three-hour lunches and tipsy evenings that incite three-day hangovers. It’s a bolthole of bliss with the privacy of stained glass windows for people who love pudding and a triple-digit, show-off meal." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Quo Vadis, the historic oyster-wielding institution and members’ club on Dean Street, is so distinctly old-school Soho that you feel like Jeffrey Bernard will walk in for the famed smoked eel sandwich at any second. The tower of profiteroles au chocolat is one of the best sugar hits within the M25, the shade of the never-want-to-leave banquettes is forever imprinted in our minds as ‘QV red’, and we challenge you to not break into a smile while admiring the illustrations on the menu of expert British classics. The pie, the martinis, the smooth as the terrine service—QV will make you forget about every time you’ve ever felt personally victimised by a teenager on a Lime scooter." - daisy meager, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake
"As far as Soho institutions go, it doesn’t get much more classic than Quo Vadis. It’s a great spot to escape the chaos of the street outside, and to eat excellent British food in a highly British environment. The service and food are exceptional, and you’ll be reminded of how good a simple soup or roast can be. We like to pay it a visit for an upmarket lunch from time to time, and it’s worth dropping in for the legendary smoked eel sandwich, sticky toffee pudding, and a martini." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
