Sophie's Steakhouse & Bar

Sophie's Steakhouse & Bar has been part of the Soho dining scene for over 15 years, and it has earned its place. The kitchen is built around steak, sourced from British farms, served with a straightforward, quintessential British feel rather than fuss.

The Soho setting is easy to reach, with good transport links nearby, so it works for locals and visitors alike. Inside, it manages to feel calm despite the busy streets outside.

The bar is worth a mention in its own right. The cocktails run from classics to newer creations, mixed by people who know what they are doing. The room blends rustic and contemporary touches, which suits a longer evening. For anyone working through Soho's restaurants, it is worth booking ahead.
