Discover more about Noble Rot Soho
Historic Roots and Contemporary Revival
Noble Rot Soho occupies a site steeped in history, formerly home to the legendary Gay Hussar, a haunt for political and literary figures. Since opening in late 2020, it has transformed the space into a modern European dining destination that respects its heritage while embracing a fresh, contemporary identity. The restaurant’s interior features dark wood panelling, bare floorboards, and walls adorned with colourful covers of the Noble Rot wine magazine, creating a warmly atmospheric setting that feels both timeless and inviting.A Curated Culinary Experience
Under the guidance of executive chef Adam Wood and head chef Áron Stigmon, the kitchen crafts a menu with a seasonal slant and rustic European influences. Dishes range from familiar classics like focaccia and treacly soda bread to more adventurous options such as guinea fowl chou-farci, stuffed rabbit leg with choucroute and mustard, and whole-baked John Dory with sausage and clams. The food is designed to be substantial yet refined, with a focus on direct, well-executed flavours that balance comfort and creativity.The Wine List: A Journey of Discovery
Noble Rot Soho’s wine list is its standout feature, curated by founders Dan Keeling and Mark Andrew MW. It offers a broad, ever-evolving selection that appeals to both novices and connoisseurs, presented accessibly on iPads. The list includes idiosyncratic gems by the glass and thoughtfully paired bottles, such as the notable Apostolos Thymiopoulos 2009 ‘Blanc de Rosé’ from Macedonia. The wine program complements the food perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience.Atmosphere and Service
The restaurant exudes a clubby, gentleman’s club vibe softened by a spirit of ease and warmth. The two floors offer different ambiances: a small, intimate ground-floor dining room and a cozier upstairs space with murals and bench seating. Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, knowledgeable about wine, and strikes a balance between relaxed and polished. The setting encourages lingering over meals and bottles, making it ideal for both laid-back dinners and special occasions.Signature Dishes and Memorable Flavours
Signature dishes include the roast chicken with morel mushrooms and vin jaune sauce served alongside delicate pilaf rice, a dish praised for its comforting richness and perfect execution. Starters like the soft smoked eel on treacle soda bread with horseradish sauce and pickled rhubarb showcase the kitchen’s attention to detail and balance of flavors. Desserts such as apple and Chinon galette tempt diners even after hearty mains, rounding out the menu with subtle indulgence.Location and Local Vibe
Situated in the heart of Soho, Noble Rot Soho benefits from its vibrant urban surroundings, blending seamlessly into the lively neighborhood. The restaurant’s dark, understated decor contrasts with the bustling street outside, offering a refuge of calm and conviviality. Its location on Greek Street places it among some of London’s most dynamic cultural and culinary scenes, enhancing its appeal as a destination for food and wine lovers.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
