Violet’s Soho is a late night cafe, restaurant and bar at 19 Berwick Street. The venue traces its Soho identity to 1927 and now pairs that history with Georgian cooking, creating an informal place for daytime coffee, a full meal or cocktails into the evening.
Georgian salads of tomato and cucumber appear alongside aubergine rolls filled with spiced walnut paste and pkhali made from spinach, cabbage or beetroot. These vegetable dishes use walnuts, garlic, herbs and vinegar to build layers of flavour before the richer breads and main courses arrive.
Khachapuri is offered in several regional styles, including the boat shaped Adjarian version topped with egg and cheese. Khinkali dumplings come with meat, cheese or mushroom fillings, while lamb chakapuli, chicken in garlic sauce, slow cooked pork and lobio red beans provide substantial alternatives.
Borscht and beef soup add warming options, with pickles, cornbread and sour plum or pepper sauces available on the side. Honey cake completes the food menu, and cocktails, wine, beer and coffee allow Violet’s to shift naturally from a sociable Georgian meal into a classic Soho night out.
Address: 19 Berwick Street, Soho, London W1F 0PX, England
