Old Compton Brasserie is an all day restaurant and bar shaped by the energy of Soho. Set on one of the neighbourhood’s most animated streets, it combines the familiarity of a British brasserie with a vibrant setting that welcomes quick lunches, relaxed dinners and evenings that continue over drinks.
The cooking centres on modern interpretations of British favourites, with seasonal ingredients guiding a selection designed to feel fresh and approachable. Its broad appeal makes the restaurant useful for many occasions, from a casual meal between West End plans to a longer gathering where guests can settle in and explore the kitchen’s more creative side.
Art is central to the character of the room, reflecting the eclectic people and creative history of Soho. Original works share the space with authentic Parisian lighting above the booths, while regularly featured artists keep the visual identity changing and give diners something to discover beyond the food.
The bar adds another layer through inventive cocktails, wine and beer, and the atmosphere grows livelier as the evening develops. Weekend brunch, Sunday dining and late sessions make Old Compton Brasserie a flexible destination for friends, celebrations and visitors who want to experience the social spirit of central London.
Address: 36–38 Old Compton Street, Soho, London W1D 4TT, United Kingdom
