Nessa

About Nessa Soho

Nessa Soho is a modern British restaurant and bar at 86 Brewer Street, on the ground floor of 1 Warwick in the heart of Soho. It is the kind of place people visit for polished but relaxed dining: breakfast before work, lunch in central London, a pre-theatre meal before the West End, or dinner and drinks in a stylish room just off Regent Street.

The restaurant has a confident Soho character without feeling too formal. The dining room is warm, artfully designed and comfortable, with window seats for people-watching, a proper bar for cocktails, and space for both small tables and larger groups. Unlike a quick Chinatown café or takeaway spot, Nessa is built around a slower, more considered experience, while still keeping the atmosphere lively and accessible.

Modern British Cooking and Seasonal Produce

The kitchen focuses on modern British cooking, shaped by seasonal produce and familiar flavours given a more creative treatment. The menu changes with the seasons, but recent dishes highlighted by the restaurant include aged beef tartare with beef fat charred sourdough, grilled sea bream with fine beans, brown shrimp and peppercorn sauce, roast rump of West Country lamb with black garlic, parsnip, chilli and mint, and sticky ginger cake with caramelised milk ice cream.

A live-fire grill is part of the cooking style, with meat, fish, vegetables and fruit all treated as serious parts of the menu. The result is a restaurant that suits different occasions: a proper dinner, a relaxed weekend brunch, a date night, a business meal, or a smart stop before a theatre booking.

The bar is also central to the Nessa experience. It works for cocktails, snacks and evening drinks as much as for a full meal, giving the restaurant a flexible role in Soho’s dining scene.
