Ducksoup is a small and intimate restaurant and wine bar at 41 Dean Street in Soho. Its cooking is guided by the seasons and an unfussy Mediterranean outlook, with a concise menu that changes according to market availability and encourages guests to share several dishes around the table.
Bread with butter, marinated olives, market pickles, salami and cheese create a simple opening selection. Vegetable focused plates may combine tomatoes, fresh cheese, herbs, fruit, nuts and spice, while careful charring, pickling and cultured dairy bring depth without making the ingredients feel overworked.
Larger dishes continue to change, moving through beans, fish and meat with seasonal vegetables and expressive sauces. Current combinations include trout with braised courgettes, olives and almond aioli, as well as rump steak with borlotti beans, peppers, oregano and capers.
Desserts remain concise, with fruit, cream, chocolate and nuts appearing in preparations such as panna cotta and torta caprese. Natural and biodynamic wines are opened regularly and offered by the glass, joined by cocktails, kombucha and drinking vinegars that match the restaurant’s lively and independent character.
