About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
In the heart of London’s Soho, Cafe Boheme has been serving French classics for over three decades. Offering an all-day menu centred around French favourites, including confit duck, steak frites and escargots – all dishes are based on traditional recipes.

The brasserie is inspired by the 19th-century poets who used to meet on Old Compton Street and features art-lined walls, a brass bar and mosaic tiled floor.

Head outside and dine al fresco for views across Soho or join us at the bar everyday from 3pm for live jazz.

    Great service and wonderful vibes make up for the slightly overpriced food. Avoid the Sea bass Provençal and go for the Poulet Frites!

    Very disappointing. The table booking was 8.30pm for 3 people and they had run out of steak already. The Toulouse sausages were hard and tough and the diner could only just about eat one. As we missed the jazz music too (which was our misunderstanding) the whole evening was very disappointing.

    A great experience of a French Bistro with super service, happy and energetic waiters and food that was every bit as scrummy as the pictures on the website. My guests were delighted and we all agreed that we'll be back bringing new diners with us. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
