Violet's Soho

Violet's Soho brings authentic Georgian cooking to Berwick Street, a late-night cafe and bar named after Violet, a figure from the area's past. It trades from late morning until close to midnight, which makes it one of the street's more useful all-day spots, moving from coffee and Georgian plates by day to cocktails and wine by night.

The kitchen is the draw. Georgian food is still a rarity in central London, and as a Georgian restaurant in Soho, Violet's serves the cuisine's signatures, from khachapuri cheese bread to dumplings, alongside a bar list of cocktails, wines and spirits. The room is relaxed and sociable, built as much for a long evening of sharing plates as for a quick daytime bite.

What to expect from this Georgian restaurant in Soho

Come for the cheese bread and stay for the rest. The menu runs through the comfort classics of the Georgian table, and the all-day, late-night format means you can arrive for brunch, an afternoon coffee or a proper dinner with drinks. It sits in the middle of Berwick Street, by the market, among the neighbourhood's independent kitchens.

Food and drink

Beyond the khachapuri, expect dumplings, grilled meats and the hearty, herb-led dishes Georgian cooking is known for, matched with cocktails, wine and spirits at the bar. It makes an easy alternative to the more familiar cuisines nearby. You will find another Berwick Street kitchen in our directory at Maresco, with more in our Soho restaurants listings.
