We're constantly keeping an eye on this Top 50 list to make sure it's up to scratch, and with so many new restaurant openings in and around Soho, that means regularly adding new places and removing those that might have failed to deliver on our last visit. Recent additions include gastropub The Shaston Arms, the exceptional Impala, rowdy Osteria Vibrato, plush Japanese joint Moi, northern Spanish grill Alta, and the third outing for Peckham-born small plates spot Forza Wine, as well as a new branch of YeYe's Noodle & Dumpling in what was once legendary goth pub The Intrepid Fox, London's third branch of Padella and handroll bar Kumori.  

The best restaurants in Soho at a glance:

There’s honestly nowhere in the world like Soho. The haunt of poets, gangsters, trendsetters and many a louche genius, the seedy, sleazy and impossibly romantic heart of London’s West End is also home to loads of great independent shops, cafés, bars and, most importantly, restaurants. Its culinary diversity has been fuelled by centuries of immigration and cultural cross-pollination. From rustic French fare to iconic Italian dishes and tasty tapas, here is Time Out’s list of our absolute favourite Soho restaurants. Whether you fancy a slap-up meal or are just in the market for a mid-town pitstop, we have you covered.
