Quo Vadis Soho is a historic British restaurant and members club at 26-29 Dean Street. The institution has occupied its distinctive Soho home since 1926, carrying the neighbourhood’s creative and convivial character into the present day. Chef Jeremy Lee leads a kitchen known for confident seasonal cooking, generous hospitality and a deep affection for traditional British ingredients.
The menu changes frequently, allowing produce and the seasons to determine what appears on each visit. The smoked eel sandwich is a celebrated signature, bringing rich fish, horseradish and crisp bread together with characteristic directness. Oysters, a daily pie and fish of the day with green sauce are other enduring examples of food that places excellent ingredients before unnecessary complication.
Seasonal plates might combine grilled bread with roasted tomato, burrata and basil, or balance endive, celery, fennel, pear and walnuts in a refreshing salad. Fish may appear as skate with capers and black butter or hake with fennel, beans, leeks and mussels. Braised peppered beef and game such as partridge show the kitchen’s equally assured handling of meat.
Vegetable led dishes can include pumpkin and greens baked into cannelloni, demonstrating that the changing menu remains varied without losing its British identity. St Emilion au Chocolat provides a much loved chocolate finish, accompanied by a carefully chosen drinks list and the particular pleasure of dining in one of Soho’s most storied rooms. Quo Vadis remains both a neighbourhood landmark and a restaurant shaped by the day’s best produce.
