Pull up a bar stool for front row seating of the kitchen or bar action, we've got a round up of the best dining experiences for solo venturers.
BAO
Booking weeks in advance for fancy meals out are a thing from the past. Dining solo at BAO is your knight in shining armour with their no reservation policy. BAO specialises in ‘xiao chi’ small snacks and ‘bao’ steamed milk buns, meaning over ordering is a thing of the past.
53 Lexington Street
The Palomar
Bar seating is a solo diners dream and where better to be watching the action whilst getting your senses stuck into the delicious food. Serving the food of modern-day Jerusalem, a cuisine influenced by the rich cultures of Southern Spain and Italy, North Africa and the Levant, explore The Palomar.
34 Rupert Street
KILN
Queuing for delicious food can be tiring, but at KILN, solo diners have the upper hand. A little birdy told us that staff always try to keep a seat free at the bar for one, meaning you can skip to the front and tuck into the good stuff. Inspired by the rural simplicity of the Thai borderlands, where dishes combine Burmese and Yunanese spicing and flavours are cooked over open fire, Kiln serves prime-quality British meat specifically bred for the restaurant.
58 Berwick Street
Lina Stores
There's no better seating choice than bar stools when dining solo, and Lina Stores has 12 of them. Head there for authentic Italian produce, fresh handmade pasta and great wine. The Lina Stores restaurant has all the delicious produce that they have in their deli, offering their legendary pasta in half portions, meaning you can try all your favourite dishes in one sitting. Plus no one to judge the amount of pasta you ordered!
51 Greek Street & 18 Brewer Street
Söderberg
Söderberg combines timeless Scandinavian design and authentic Swedish food with a people-focused dedication, making it the perfect fit for Soho. Söderberg's delicious baked goods are complemented by Johan & Nyström coffee, blended in Stockholm and poured with time and skill by talented baristas.
36 Berwick Street
Bar Italia
A Soho institution in its own right, Bar Italia is a must for any visitors to the area. Inspired by Pulp’s song of the same name, the iconic café attracts locals and celebrities alike on the search for top-quality coffee in an always friendly and buzzy environment.
