Sola

Sola is a Soho restaurant serving California-inspired cooking with a European twist. It opened in 2019 and made its mark on London's dining scene fairly quickly.

The kitchen leans on the freshness of Californian food and folds in the more refined flavours of European cooking, with each dish built from good-quality ingredients and plated with care. The menu is the draw, and it rewards a bit of curiosity.

The location helps too, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square tube stations. The room is welcoming and works as well for a business lunch as it does for a quieter dinner.
