Bantof is a Mediterranean restaurant and cocktail destination at 31 Great Windmill Street in Soho. Spread across three floors, it combines a dining room with a wine and Champagne tasting space, a hidden speakeasy and an outdoor terrace. Chef Pierre Iskandar shapes the menu around seasonal ingredients and plates designed to be shared at a relaxed pace.
Small dishes begin with olives, smoked almonds, baked bread and Padron peppers before moving into more composed plates. Burrata with sweet potato, tahini aubergine with miso and pomegranate, tuna tataki, salmon tartare and Wagyu tartare show the range between vegetables, raw seafood and meat. Fried chicken and other bar snacks suit a shorter visit with drinks.
More substantial choices include black cod, grilled salmon with gnocchi, truffle risotto, ribeye steak and the Bantof truffle burger. Sharing cuts such as côte de boeuf support the communal style, while cauliflower steak gives vegetables a central role. On Sundays, chicken, sea bass, ribeye or cauliflower can be served with roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli and green beans.
Molten chocolate fondant and pistachio Basque cheesecake bring a rich finish after the savoury plates. The wine list spans organic and biodynamic bottles, Champagne, crisp whites, rosé and reds with varied weight, while signature cocktails tell stories drawn from Soho. Alcohol free drinks and classic cocktails complete the choice across the restaurant, terrace and speakeasy.
