14 for Hyreth please!

sorry for the delay!

i am setting this in my newton squad universe because i can.

hyreth + “Ah, your feet are ice-cold!”

Hyacinth mumbled a quiet curse under her breath. There were plenty of things that interested her but learning to do complicated hairstyles wasn’t one of them. Messy buns and high ponytails had always been her go-to hairdo, it was easy enough, got the job done, and looked good on her. In a way, it was also practical. If her nieces were to learn she could braid hair in ten different ways, she would never again be able to sit at the adults' table at family gatherings ever again. And she loved her nieces, dearly, but she would rather help them climb trees than spend hours sitting on the floor tangling locks of hair together.

But Gareth St. Clair was a man proud of his hair. It was just as much a part of who he was as was his sense of humor or his good-natured personality. He loved to tend to it, braid it, and try different styles. And since he loved Hyacinth, he wanted to make her part of one of the things he kept closer to his heart.

And how was she supposed to refuse his request to just relax and let him run his hands through her hair, applying coconut scented oils to it while softly sharing stories about his mother and how she used to do the same to him when he was a kid. Even with her back turned to him, she could hear the nostalgic smile in his voice. Gareth hardly ever spoke about his late mother but when he did there was so much longing in his eyes that it made her heart swell in a way she wasn’t sure was healthy. Hyacinth knew well the hurt of losing a parent before you even had the chance to form significant memories with them. The only difference was that she had nothing that truly belonged to her to remember her own father. She had stolen pieces and bits of the stories her siblings and mother shared with her in order to craft her own memories with a man she would never come to meet. In her mind, Edmund had been the one to teach her to ride a bike with encouraging words, never letting go until she was confident enough to try on her own. He had attended all her school functions, always early to get a seat on the front row, where she could easily see him from the stage. In the made-up images of him she had conjured in her mind, he was always smiling, always a serene expression on his face that made her feel safe. Hyacinth had never learned how to swim but in her mind, Edmund had been the one to teach her.

It was different for Gareth, she knew. He had known his mother, loved her, and lost her. And, for better or for worse, that was a flavor of pain Hyacinth was quite familiar with too. Maybe that was the reason she enjoyed the rare times when he narrated tales of his childhood so much. He was sharing a precious secret with her, yes, but it was something else too. He was baring his soul to her, showing the most vulnerable parts of himself. That was trust in its most primal form. And knowing he had chosen to expose himself to her out of all people made her warm and fuzzy inside.

Hyacinth had never been particularly fond of having people touch her hair but it was different when the fingers entangled in her dark locks belonged to Gareth. She quite enjoyed the soft chills that the action sent down her spine. And that had to be one of the scariest things in the whole world.

There, sitting on the floor of his living room, with her back pressed against Gareth's chest, each of his legs secured at her sides while he hummed contently behind her, the realization hit Hyacinth like lightning hits a tree during an enraged thunderstorm; suddenly, completely, devastatingly, leaving nothing but destruction and chaos behind. Right now, right there, what they had; it was happiness. And she didn’t want to let go of it. She wanted Gareth in her life for as long as he would have her because… because she was in love with him. She didn’t just love him, she was in love with him. It had only taken something as ridiculous as thinking about her dad to make her finally realize what she had known for a long time. Maybe there were more similarities between her and her siblings that she cared to admit. What a horrific thought.

“Everything okay?” The gentle, mild concerned voice of her boyfriend brought her back to reality. Hyacinth turned to look at him over her shoulder, nodding with a soft smile. The concern in his eyes didn’t seem to vanish but he made no further comments. She was grateful for it.

“Time for the student to become the master. Move aside, peasant.” When her body spun around to exchange positions, her feet that had been fighting a silent battle against the chilly evening air, brushed against his thighs. He leaped, let out a surprised yelp, and retracted his legs so fast Hyacinth lost balance and ended up falling face down against his chest.

“Ah, your feet are ice-cold!” It was a protest but it sounded more like an accusation as if somehow Hyacinth had orchestrated the whole thing and had been patiently waiting for the perfect time to make her move. And as much as she hated to admit it, he was not that far off. It was definitely the kind of thing she would come up with. He knew her well, way too well.

Rather than feeling ashamed, she placed a sweet kiss on his nose and smirked down at him. It was that special smile she seemed to have reserved for him and for him alone. “Maybe you should warm them up, huh?”

Gareth’s brow curved, amusement overtaking his whole face. So she wanted to play. He could do that. His hands brushed against her thighs, slowly moving down her legs until they reached her ankles. He stopped to look at her then, his eyes burning into hers as he leaned in to place a kiss on her parted lips that took her breath away. He was so close she could still taste his breath. And then, he pushed himself back and centered his attention on her cold feet. Both hands closed around one of her small feet, rubbing and rubbing at a fast pace almost as if he was trying to start a fire. The motion tingled her, making soft giggles escape her lips. Hyacinth tried to free herself from his grasp but he was firm and refused to let her go.

“Stop!” The word was hard to understand as it was said in between fits of laughter. “Stop! Come on!”

Gareth grinned, shaking his head. At this point, his hands had abandoned her feet and were focused on tickling her sides. “What’s the magic word?”

“Please?” She was tossing, desperately trying to get away from him. Laugh filled the air around them.

He shook his head again. And Hyacinth finally understood.

“I love you!” She exclaimed breathlessly.

He froze in place. The room grew quiet. It was not the magic word he had been looking for, no. But it was one million times better.

“You don’t know how long I have waited to hear you say that.”

rabbit tour!

i just made a “shelf” so all my stuffed animals weren’t crowded on the windowsill and i used this as an opportunity to take pictures of all the ones i have with me so here we go!

this is artemis, a majestic and powerful silver rabbit with a very dramatic backstory

basically i was 5 hours away from home on a work trip and i saw her in the window of a shop BUT it hadn’t opened yet so i had to walk away not knowing if I would have time to get back to the shop before it closed, if someone else would buy the rabbit, or if i even had enough money to buy the rabbit in the first place

the most I was willing to spend was $20, not because I don’t think this rabbit is a priceless artifact of beauty, but bc im a peasant and my job was technically volunteer work and paid less than minimum wage but ANYWAY i go on and on about this fucking rabbit to anyone who will listen, my coworkers are plotting ways to murder me that will look like an accident, but we get back to the store and the rabbits still there AND ITS ExACTLY $20 SO I IMMEDIATELY BUY IT WITH NO REGRETS BEST PURCHASE OF MY LIFE

here are some little baby babies i have clipped to my backpack (can you tell i like rabbits???), the yellow one on top is bun might for obvious reasons

the one in the middle is technically unnamed but i call him sergeant pez bc hes a pez dispenser and he was in one of my dads old military trunks for like a million years until he was cleaning them out and gave him to me

the light green one is the newest addition, her name is mochi and shes so fucking soft you guys its like petting a delicate cloud

these arent rabbits but theyre still valid so shut up, the black cat is named agugu (short for akutagawa) bc i was into bung/ou s/tray d/ogs at the time

the panda in the middle was a gift from my roommate and her name is monochrome because i have another panda back home thats purple and her name is. purple. so i wanted to stick with the theme here

the white tiger is named at2shi after atsushi (from b/ungou st/ray d/ogs again) who can turn into a white tiger but also i already had ANOTHER non-white tiger that was named atsushi so this one is at2shi

more wild thangs that arent rabbits!

the elephant is слон or “sloane”, слон means elephant in russian and it’s kind of pronounced like the name sloane so it’s a very deep complex and intellectual name, clearly. слон is a puppet that shrieks like the souls of the damned when you squeeze him and he was a gift from my high school russian teacher because i would be Blessed with the duty of making слон scream at students who were speaking english in class, he’s a good comrade

the tiger is atsushi, im sure you can figure out his deal based on at2shi, i got him at the zoo and hes lovely

the red panda with the minnie ears might have had another name at some point but during my regrettable b/s/d phase i started calling him chuuya and it stuck, also now i put my minnie ears on him bc his head’s the perfect size so im more or less using him as a hat rack which is very on brand for chuuya actually

the purple sloth staring into the camera (and your soul) is gasloth leroux and i won him at dave and busters after re-reading phantom of the opera

(last batch of non-rabbits)

the bear in the snazzy tunic is radar, he was originally my mom’s as a baby and she gave him to me as a baby and since i dont intend on spawning im hoarding him forever #life hack

yall better know who fucking kermit is

aannnd we already went over слон in the last picture so! back to the rabbits!

welcome to the purple corner, friends!

the little all purple one in the back is sukie, and she is just baby, only little creacher, nothing can change that, she was a gift for easter i think two years ago now

the purple and white rabbit with the pink nose laying next to the cardboard shapes is named violet and her fur is very soft and lovely but she has some kind of hard panel inside (she moves, maybe? idk) so not exactly optimized for cuddling, still shes a good girl

the hulking googly eyed purple yarn monstrosity is roundy blumbo and he was handmade by my terrible but talented sister @rattypants

most of these are new arrivals because walgreens has easter rabbits out and some of them were literally only three dollars so yeah but anyway

the grey one with the pink bow is named toshi after all might (i got him about the same time as bun might so b/nha heavily owned my ass at the time) and hes absolutely perfect for cuddling, very soft and long

the blue one is named bluebell the second or “twobell”, when I was younger I had a really tiny blue stuffed rabbit named bluebell that i would take everywhere but one day i dropped it somewhere in or around a ymca and lost it forever and i literally did not stop crying for two whole days because of it, bluebell the second is a spiritual successor who hopefully wont get lost

the one that looks just like bluebell the second but not blue is marshmallow, bluebell the seconds identical twin brother who was also 3 dollars because literally, THREE DOLLARS

the one with light brown fur and orange ears is named gingersnap carrot cake because I liked both names and couldnt decide and since i bought him around the same time as bluebell the second and marshmallow, he’s their mischievous older brother and together i guess that makes them the rabbit mcelroys

now the round rabbit next to toshi with the floppy ears and a smaller rabbit with a green dress on its back is rose and bunnia, the larger one is rose, the mother, and bunnia is her daughter, they have a very close relationship as you can see

the small white and brown rabbit next to rose and bunnia is spenser, named after edmund spenser, creator of the spenserian sonnet, bc i bought her at a renn faire and thought she should have an old timey name, shes a literary icon

now we’re getting into the old guard! all the rabbits in this picture (aside from carrot cake gingersnap whomst is a SLUT FOR ATTENTION) are all ones i got between the ages of 6-10, so theyre my day ones uwu

the brown rabbit with floppy ears is mocha, she was a christmas present when i was 9 years old and shes probably the most rabbit-shaped rabbit i have

the rabbit with the bright pink scarf is beatrice (i dont have favorites except actually i do and its beatrice), I got her when i was 7 years old from goodwill and one of her arms was kind of loosely connected and started falling off which Horrified me and i tried to “take care of her” by using a bit of ribbon as a sling, eventually my grandma sewed her arm back on so then i used the ribbon as a scarf and ever since then beatrice has had a scarf of some kind

the rabbit next to beatrice with the black button eye is wrinkly pinkly, who lost her eye in the warTM (it fell off years later but she claims to have lost it in the war anyway and shes old so everyone just goes along with it), shes very loose and as the name implies, VERY wrinkly which makes her fun to wiggle around

the bright pink rabbit with the wide head is anna, beatrice’s mom and wrinkly pinkly’s sister, her husband griffy is back home so i dont have a picture of him but their story is very enemies-to-lovers (they were on opposite sides of The War) and shes a very ambitious and powerful figure in rabbitopia despite having hundreds of kids to raise #feminist icon

the light pink rabbit with the yarn dress is madison, ironically named long before i even remotely knew that madison, wisconsin was a place that exists, and shes beatrice’s younger sister and shes very active and athletic but she also likes being pretty which is why i made her the yarn dress

cottontail (he doesnt actually have a tail) is the town drunk and a constant nuisance, his wife left him so now he’s always hoeing around and causing trouble for everyone (which is also what he did Before his wife left him), one of his legs is more filled than the other so he walks with a limp. his wife took most of the children except

darnell (the long pink rabbit lying down), who inherited her dad’s troublemaking tendencies and loves playing pranks and talking shit

(last one, for all the zero people who are still reading at this point)

next to cottontail we have aminta in the green dress, i bought her at the airport and shes a very beautiful and distinguished young rabbit who madison is ABSOLUTELY gay for, she’s very proper and is being brought up by

hera nova (the white rabbit with the pink nose and floppy ears in the back) who is the oldest rabbit i have (Ive had her since i was at least 5, though she didn’t get a name until i was in my greek mythology phase a few years later), shes sort of a grandma to all the other rabbits and could absolutely destroy them all if she wanted to

karoline (yes with a k, i didnt know the kardashians were a Thing back then) is the yellow rabbit with the basket, she works at rabbitopia’s most popular restaurant, the spinning carrot, and she is one of the three main chefs along with her sister

bonnie, the pink rabbit with only one ear, she got torn up pretty badly over the years but shes still alive and still spinning those carrots!! (there was a third rabbit that worked with them named fritz who was white and holding an easter egg but i don’t remember what happened to her)

so there we go! rabbits! lots of them!

#rabbit tour!#there are More but i dont have access to them rn

The Best Restaurants in Soho added to Google Docs

The Best Restaurants in Soho

Here’s a familiar scenario - you’re meeting a few friends in town for dinner and drinks, but haven’t a bloody clue where to go. Throw in one of London’s most confusing street systems, a plethora of choices, high expectations, and tons of Soho restaurants that don’t take bookings, and what should be an awesome night can become frustrating very quickly. That’s where we come in. Here’s where to go and what to order.

The spots Karolina Wiercigroch The Palomar £ £ £ £ Middle Eastern in Chinatown , Soho ££££ 34 Rupert St 8.8 /10

An Infatuation favourite, The Palomar is the restaurant version of that live-wire friend you know you’re always going to end up doing shots with. It’s loud and the atmosphere is pure energy, while the Israeli influenced food is very good - the Jerusalem mix and Shakshukit kebab are the ones you need on your table. You can book tables in advance, which lots of people do as things can be crazy here, but the seats you want are the ones at the bar where you can watch the cooks make your food and exchange some banter with the friendly bartenders. Those you can only book for the first sitting, otherwise you’ll be joining a queue, but it’s well worth the wait.

Manteca £ £ £ £ Italian in Soho ££££ 58-59 Great Marlborough Street 8.3 /10

Manteca is the kind of place where you walk in and reinstall Bumble before your brown crab cacio e pepe even hits the table. Because this cool, low lit restaurant, is basically the perfect date night spot. That being said, as romantic as this pasta specialist spot is it’ll work just as well for a catch-up over some pappardelle and a couple of glasses of wine. Just be aware that, like all charmers, this place is popular, so book ahead if you want to eat at rush hour, which in Soho is anytime after 7pm.

Lina Stores – 51 Greek Street £ £ £ £ Italian in Soho ££££ 51 Greek Street 7.4 /10

Half your pals live in Hackney, the other half are dotted around the west. Suddenly a geographical conflict breaks out, until finally a compromise is reached. Next thing you know, you find yourself in Soho on a Wednesday night, surrounded by every Italian chain that’s ever offered a stuffed crust. Enter, Lina Stores. This spot on Greek Street, serves handmade pasta and grown up Italian dishes like aubergine polpettes. Upstairs, is all about counter dining, deli buys, and looks like it could very well be the set of a Wes Anderson romance. Think, The Royal Tortellini’s. But, downstairs has got that whole ‘chic bunker’ thing going on, and is perfect for groups. The best part? You can split a bottle of red, eat some tasty truffle and ricotta agnolotti, and leave only 20 quid lighter.

Dum Biryani £ £ £ £ Indian , Curry in Soho ££££ 187B Wardour Street 7.6 /10

Dum Biryani lives up to its name: the biryanis here are spot-on. The vegetable and chicken versions are excellent, but the lamb shank one is the one to get. We like to get one biryani for every two people, while supplementing with the fantastic coconut king prawns and hot wings. You’ll eat in a laid-back basement room with Tupac and Kanye playing over the speakers, making it equally good for a fun weeknight dinner or to kick off a night of drinking.

Evelyn‘s Table £ £ £ £ Modern European in Chinatown ££££ 28 Rupert Street 8.3 /10

If you’re looking for a chef’s table type experience in Soho, then look no further than Evelyn’s Table. This 15 seater counter restaurant is from the same folks as the Palomar, and in the basement of their pub The Blue Posts. If you care about fresh produce and the person cooking it, then you can’t do much better than the chef guiding you through what’s been caught that day, and how he’s going to cook it. Bring someone you really like, who’s really into restaurants.

Bancone £ £ £ £ Italian in Soho ££££ Golden Square 8-10 Lower James Street Not

Rated

Yet

We can’t think of anyone you shouldn’t go to Bancone with. Except maybe that mate who has sincerely given up carbohydrates due to that three mile fun run they’re doing in six months. But friends, colleagues, family, dates are all welcome - hell, bring your ex, you’ll look fantastic sat at the counter in the candlelight. The handmade pasta here is excellent and the best part is you can easily go all in and still have a pretty affordable meal.

Darjeeling Express £ £ £ £ Indian , Curry in Soho ££££ Kingly Court 8.5 /10

Darjeeling Express is an Indian restaurant that feels a bit like eating in someone’s home. And that’s not by accident: the owner ran supper clubs before opening this restaurant, and the kitchen is staffed by a crew of former home cooks. Incredible home cooks, too. You’ll eat excellent bowls of methi chicken curry and chargrilled prawns.

Casita Andina £ £ £ £ Peruvian in Soho ££££ 31 Great Windmill St 7.8 /10

Casita Andina is from the same people as Andina, and it too serves modern takes on Peruvian dishes. It’s a really tasty, and kinda healthy, restaurant that fits for almost anything. A real casual, no brainer kind of place. Come for a couple of cocktails and stay for an entire meal. You won’t be disappointed.

Andrew Edmunds £ £ £ £ Modern European in Soho ££££ 46 Lexington St Not

Rated

Yet

If you’re the kind of person who loves old books and took forever to get on Tinder, you’ll appreciate Andrew Edmunds. It’s an old-school Soho bolthole that takes romance seriously - you’ll eat by candlelight and order from a menu scrawled on a chalkboard. It’s obviously ideal for a date, but the food is actually really good too. The braised squid and dressed crab are excellent, and the goat’s curd with courgettes is a good vegetarian option.

Sorry—looks like you screwed up that email address

Want to quickly find restaurants on the go? Download The Infatuation app. Karolina Wiercigroch Hoppers £ £ £ £ Sri Lankan in Soho ££££ 49 Frith St 8.6 /10

Hoppers is a modern Sri Lankan restaurant done Soho-style - it’s exciting, laid-back and fun. We don’t know whether we’ve been to a Sri Lankan place before either, but it’ll be completely familiar to anyone who’s into curry and spice. The egg ‘hoppers’ (crispy pancakes) are awesome for mopping up curries - the bone marrow is incredible, and the black pork curry and devilled shrimp dish are class acts. It’s perfect for lunch, but it’s also worth the queue if you want to hit it up for dinner. The wait’s usually about 30-45 minutes, but Hoppers is definitely worth planning an evening around.

Barrafina Soho £ £ £ £ Spanish in Soho ££££ 26-27 Dean St 9.0 /10

Barrafina is a brilliant tapas restaurant that makes some of the best Spanish food anywhere in the world in very swish, upscale surroundings. You sit at a very expensive-looking marble bar to watch your very expensive food being prepared. Whatever occasion it is - a ‘casual’ date (that’s not really casual at all), bringing friends from out of town and so on - a dinner here will knock it out of the park. There’s a very good chance there’ll be a queue, but make like the regulars and order a glass of cava and some of their fantastic bar snacks while you wait. If the company’s worth it, the time will fly by.

Stan Lee Bocca Di Lupo £ £ £ £ Italian in Soho ££££ 12 Archer St 8.7 /10

Bocca di Lupo is an Italian restaurant that sill hits all the right notes, 10 years after first opening. There are amazing pastas, excellent grilled meat and seafood, and it ups the ante with regional dishes from across Italy that even your Italian friends would be hard pressed to say they’d tried. There are tables, but the bar is where you want to be sitting - it’s the best place to grab one of their very good wines and observe the upscale dining room. Call ahead if you can, as it gets ridiculously popular in the evenings.

Rob Greig Bao £ £ £ £ Taiwanese in Soho ££££ 53 Lexington St 8.6 /10

This Taiwanese small plates restaurant has become a local legend both for its pork buns, and also for the lines needed to get in, which have become a Soho landmark in their own right. We like the buns fine (the pork confit bao is the one to get), but some of the other dishes, like the Taiwanese-style fried chicken and beef with aged soy sauce, are actually the true must-orders. Also know that Bao is an in-and-out kind of place, so don’t bring a big group and don’t expect to linger. Opening times are at noon and 5.30pm, which is when the queues are generally a bit gentler. This place is worth the wait, but generally only a short one.

10 Greek Street £ £ £ £ Modern European in Soho ££££ 10 Greek St 8.6 /10

Long before every restaurant, home, and Tesco in London started telling you the name of your vegetable and what its favourite bedtime story was, 10 Greek Street was serving delicious food with the freshest possible ingredients. There’s nothing poncey or over the top going on here. It’s simply making great food with what’s good that day. The atmosphere is very neighbourhood-y, which is impressive in Soho. And once you come here once, you’ll be coming back for every occasion.

Karolina Wiercigroch Ceviche £ £ £ £ Peruvian in Soho ££££ 17 Frith St. 7.5 /10

‘Going out for a Peruvian’ hasn’t quite caught on the way grabbing a curry or sushi has, but Ceviche does a brilliant job of convincing us that it could. Plan to order any of the ceviche dishes (slices of raw fish with a zingy marinade), as well as starters like pork tequeños (deep-fried pork wontons), followed by a round of pisco sours. It’s an all-round place that’s Perfect For sharing a few dishes and drinks with friends, and the dining room sounds like a Friday night, every night. Also bear in mind that this, along with its sister restaurant Casita Andina a few minutes away, are both excellent for both vegans and anyone with special dietary needs, which is basically everyone these days.

Duck Soup £ £ £ £ Modern European in Soho ££££ 41 Dean St. Not

Rated

Yet

When you’re wishing you could be somewhere other than Soho, but you’re stuck in Soho, Ducksoup is the place you should probably go. It’s a natural wine bar and restaurant just a few steps away from the Soho Theatre, but once you’re inside this tiny spot, you feel more like you’re in a backstreet in Hackney. It’s got a relaxed, personal touch which is a rare find in the West End, and the eclectic menu will have you wondering why you never whip up a plate of bobby beans with charred potato, walnuts and parsley when you’re sitting down with a glass of wine at home. This spot is perfect for when you want something busy and intimate, and it works as well for a casual date, as it does for when you need a bite to eat before a show, or when you’re after a £10 lunch (including a glass of wine).

Karolina Wiercigroch Nopi £ £ £ £ Middle Eastern , Fusion in Soho ££££ 21-22 Warwick St 7.7 /10

Nopi, Yotam Ottolenghi’s upscale restaurant, is Perfect For any time you need to impress someone but also not look like you’re trying too hard. It’s the restaurant equivalent of, ‘Oh, this old thing?’. The Middle Eastern/Mediterranean sharing plates lean towards being mostly vegetarian but are uniformly excellent, and are where the best action is. Get the courgette fritters or burrata with blood orange. It’s an excellent spot for brunch in central, especially when you can’t face the queue for the Breakfast Club.

Freak Scene £ £ £ £ Soho ££££ 54 Frith Street Not

Rated

Yet

Freak Scene on Frith Street, serves Asian inspired dishes in a setting that feels a little like a submarine designed by MC Hammer. There’s hip hop nostalgia on the walls, Lil Wayne blasting from the speakers, and Japanese cartoons on the TV. And then there’s the food: both the black cod tacos and the chilli crab bomb (spicy crab meat in a wonton case) are not to be missed.

Dishoom Carnaby £ £ £ £ Indian in Soho ££££ 22 Kingly St 8.2 /10

The good news is that the Kingly Street branch of Dishoom is pretty big, but the bad news is that you’re in Soho, so you’re still looking at a wait for a table. It is, however, worth it. As one of the best places to eat Indian food in town, Dishoom is also a useful spot to keep in mind for brunch and cocktails, and there’s outdoor seating that’s Perfect For soaking up the Soho feels on that one day of summer.

Pastaio £ £ £ £ Pasta , Italian in Soho ££££ 19 Ganton St Not

Rated

Yet

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. At least, that’s what they say. We certainly don’t think it when someone buys the same trainers as us. In this case, Pastaio is a Padella imitation that does all the right things. This isn’t a restaurant to spend a couple of hours in. It’s a canteen-style place you swing by, have a couple of pastas and a salad, and go on your merry way. The food is both tasty and well priced. And it is what you want most of the time, because who doesn’t like pasta?

40 Dean Street £ £ £ £ Italian in Soho ££££ 40 Dean Street Not

Rated

Yet

40 Dean Street serves simple classic Italian food that makes us very happy. It’s a solid old school spot, and although the interior looks like it hasn’t changed since the 80s, it’s totally charming. You should come to eat the veal, some pasta, or a pizza, which are all reliably good. In fact, they’re more than good, they’re classics done the way classics are supposed to be done. It’s the perfect spot for a casual date, catching up with mates, or whenever you want to go to a place that feels like it’s at the other end of the scale to the edgy cuisine that’s become so popular in Soho. Also, assuming you remember what it’s called, you’ll have no problem remembering where it is.

Karolina Wiercigroch Koya Bar £ £ £ £ Japanese in Soho ££££ 50 Frith St 8.3 /10

They do things a particular way in Japan (basically, not by halves), and nowhere is this better demonstrated in London than at Koya Bar. It’s a delicious temple of noodles and soups and all manner of good things, and it legitimately can lay claim to having some of the best udon anywhere outside of Asia. It’s a great place to eat at the bar with a friend or two, for a Japanese-style brunch, or to even eat solo should you have an hour to yourself. Besides the noodles, order some of their sides - the pork belly will make you very happy, as will the Japanese-style fish and chips.

Olle £ £ £ £ Korean in Chinatown ££££ 88 Shaftesbury Avenue Not

Rated

Yet

Maybe you’re the kind of person who gets a bit bored in a restaurant. Or maybe you’re the kind person who’s just really into Korean barbecue. In which case, Olle works well. This is a fun restaurant that’s perfect for groups, and anyone up for having a bit of a laugh. As well being able to grill all sorts of meat and fish at your table, the menu also features bibimbap, Korean pancakes, and other classics.

Brasserie Zédel £ £ £ £ French in Soho ££££ 20 Sherwood St 8.0 /10

Entering Brasserie Zédel is like walking down a flight of stairs into 1920s Paris. On any given night, this Art Deco dining hall is packed with people eating brasserie classics like steak au poivre and oysters with wine, while a swing band plays, but not in an annoying way. Aside from the room and ambience, the most impressive thing about Brasserie Zédel is the price. For the setting, it’s very affordable, and you can get away with dinner and a drink for under twenty quid. It’s popular, alas, but you can avoid queueing if you book ahead. The adjoining Bar Americain is a good spot for a late-night cocktail or aperitif before hitting the main room.

Inko Nito £ £ £ £ Japanese , Korean in Soho ££££ 55 Broadwick Street 7.6 /10

The logo for this spot on Broadwick street, bears an uncanny resemblance to Moomin. And, if someone told us that a cartoon hippo had invested in the Soho restaurant scene with Inko Nito, we’d believe them. Who else would serve the charred coconut soft serve of your dreams for a fiver, and reinvent everyone’s childhood nemesis, cauliflower, by grilling it in a parmesan and panko crunch? Yes, there’s something distinctly fun about Inko Nito. Grab a stool at their huge many-sided counter, get a glass of one of the on-tap cocktails, and feel free to get a bit silly, Moomin style.

Mildred's £ £ £ £ Vegetarian , British in Soho ££££ 45 Lexington St 8.0 /10

There are a lot of legendary restaurants in Soho, but there’s only one legendary vegetarian restaurant here, and that’s Mildred’s. This place managed to make delicious food - everything from veggie pies to tofu jerk - stick in the 80s, when people seemingly existed on a diet of red meat and straight booze. It’s not the only branch these days, but we’ve got a soft spot for the original.

Temper Soho £ £ £ £ Tacos , BBQ in Soho ££££ 25 Broadwick Street 7.8 /10

If Temper were a person, it would be Conor McGregor in a bespoke Brioni suit. It’s a modern barbecue restaurant that specialises in grilling massive joints of meat over an open fire that’s smack in the middle of the restaurant, but despite its outward machismo, it’s also a little sophisticated too. The room’s plush and comfortable, with a deep wine list and plenty of interesting things on the menu (get the prawn toast). All of the grilled meat comes with freshly made flatbreads, so don’t miss the grilled lamb, and get some umami ketchup to go with it as well. The cookie dough dessert will do you right too.

Karolina Wiercigroch Quo Vadis £ £ £ £ British in Soho ££££ 26-29 Dean St 8.1 /10

As far as Soho institutions go, it doesn’t get much more classic than Quo Vadis. It’s a great spot to escape the chaos of the street outside, and to eat excellent British food in a highly British environment. Unfortunately, since it recently downsized to just one room and bar, Quo Vadis has lost a crucial part of what made it so special. The service and food, however, remain exceptional, and you’ll be reminded of how good a simple soup or roast can be. We like to pay it a visit as an upmarket lunch spot from time to time, and it’s still worth dropping in for the legendary smoked eel sandwich and a glass of wine.

Bone Daddies Shackfuyu £ £ £ £ Japanese , Fusion in Soho ££££ 14 Old Compton St 7.7 /10

If you find yourself wandering aimlessly around Soho, going back and forth between restaurants teeming with people, each serving food that looks decidedly like something that comes out of the office microwave, then just head to Shackfuyu before your head explodes. This Japanese-Korean hybrid serves really tasty, no nonsense food you want to eat. Think Korean chicken wings and short rib. It’s a good thought isn’t it?

The Duck and Rice £ £ £ £ Chinese , Dim Sum in Soho ££££ 90-91 Berwick St 7.5 /10

You’ve spent the afternoon trying to get from Carnaby to Cambridge Circus without getting hopelessly lost. You’re tired, and while your heart says ‘beer’, your stomach says ‘prawn toast’. What to do? First of all, probably consider what life choices led you to crave prawn toast and beer when you’re tired. Second, hit The Duck and Rice, where there’s a plush looking ‘pub’ downstairs with massive vats of Pilsner Urquell lying around for the freshest pours, and small plates of dim sum on the menu. Upstairs, there’s a sleek dining room serving upmarket takes on Cantonese dishes that’s good for group hangs and low-key dates, assuming you know other people that eat like you.

Blacklock £ £ £ £ Steaks in Soho ££££ 24 Great Windmill St Not

Rated

Yet

What’s that? You woke up simultaneously craving the juicy meat of an animal, and also needing to book somewhere to eat in Soho? We’ve got you covered with Blacklock. The steaks here are excellent, as are the roasts. Plus, there’s a special £5 cocktail menu, and the entire restaurant is in a former brothel. It’s everything you’ve been dreaming about.

Kiln £ £ £ £ Thai in Soho ££££ 58 Brewer Street 8.4 /10

Kiln is one of the best places to eat Thai food in London, and certainly in central London. Is it authentic? Probably not. Is it good? Oh yeah. Everything’s cooked in an open kitchen in front of the ground-floor bar, so you can get an eyeful of action while you wait with a beer or cocktail. It can get busy as as all the best places in Soho do (get there early if you can), but we can emphatically say that the food’s worth it. A lot of it is sharing-style, so get a couple of drinks while ordering a few dishes to split. The lamb and cumin skewers and smoked sausage are very good, and the Burmese-style curry is indecently tasty. There are tables downstairs for 4-6 that you can book in advance if there are a few of you.

Bob Bob Ricard £ £ £ £ Modern European , British in Soho ££££ 1 Upper James St. 8.2 /10

For going big in Soho, Bob Bob Ricard gets our vote every time. The restaurant’s been put together in such a way as to make the entire evening unforgettable, from the over-the-top Art Deco room and completely, unnecessarily opulent food, to all the moneyed-up Londoners and glamourpusses it attracts. The food’s memorable because we don’t often eat these French and British classics (a very good Beef Wellington, Boeuf Bourguignon) paired with upscale Russian dishes (there’s so much caviar), but it’s all very enjoyable and in the best possible taste. You will take a thousand selfies here, drunkenly bash the ‘press for champagne’ button at least a couple of times, and stumble out into the night all the better for it.

Yauatcha £ £ £ £ Chinese , Dim Sum in Soho ££££ 15-17 Broadwick St 7.7 /10

Yauatcha is a super flash Chinese restaurant thirty seconds from Carnaby Street. It’s a bit of a see-and-be-seen place. The kind of restaurant you’d be taken for work, or ask to go to for your 21st birthday. But that’s not a bad thing. The glitz and glamour extends to the food, and the dim sum is delicious. Also, you don’t want be missing out on their venison puffs.

Social Eating House £ £ £ £ Modern European , British in Soho ££££ 58 Poland St 8.0 /10

Just like your favourite friend with benefits, eating out in Soho is all about keeping it casual. If you’re looking for fancy fine dining, go to Mayfair. Having said that, Social Eating House is excellent for fine dining-style food in relaxed surroundings. What arrives on the plate might look more like visual art than something to eat, but once you pop it in your mouth, you’ll be happy.

Wright Brothers £ £ £ £ Seafood in Soho ££££ 13 Kingly St 7.5 /10

Whenever we have a free day to wander round London these days, we find ourselves heading straight to Wright Brothers for a session of afternoon drinking and oysters. Porter or bubbly, from 3-6pm every day (including weekends) their oysters are a quid apiece, which makes it a classy and surprisingly affordable way to drink the afternoon away, all while pretending you’re in control of your finances and that you don’t have a drinking problem. It’s also good for dates.
