Cafe Boheme

This traditional Parisian bistro has been operating here for over 20 years and has become an elegant, bustling staple to Old Compton Street. In summer the pavement tables are perpetually packed, and in winter, it provides a retreat from the chaos outside from breakfast until the early hours. Food is typical French bistro fare: moules marinieres, escargots with smoked bacon, bavette steak etc. Part of the Soho House institution, it lacks the same pretension, but prices are a bit high and due to inevitable crowds, service can be slow, so come with time to spare.
