Yasmin

Yasmin sits on the top floor of 1 Warwick, the members' house on Warwick Street, and brings one of Soho's better rooftop views to a Middle Eastern restaurant and bar that is open to everyone. It pairs an all-day terrace with a smart indoor room, and trades on the combination of panoramic rooftops, sundowner cocktails and warm, spice-led sharing plates.

As a genuine rooftop restaurant in Soho, its draw is the setting as much as the food. The menu runs through Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern sharing dishes, from mezze and flatbreads to grills, matched with a thoughtful wine list and a cocktail menu built for golden hour. Open from midday to midnight, it works for a long lunch, an aperitivo with a view or a late dinner.

What to expect from this rooftop restaurant in Soho

Expect Middle Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean sharing plates: dips and mezze, warm breads, chargrilled meats and vegetables, and seasonal specials, designed for the table rather than solo courses. The rooftop terrace is the headline, so it is at its best in warmer weather or at sunset, though the indoor bar keeps it going year-round.

The setting and the building

Yasmin crowns 1 Warwick, a six-floor members' house, but the rooftop restaurant and bar take walk-ins and bookings from the public. It shares the building with ground-floor sibling Nessa, the modern British restaurant, with more of the area's tables in our Soho restaurants listings.

How a visit works

Yasmin opens from midday to midnight on Warwick Street, taking walk-ins and bookings for the rooftop restaurant, bar and terrace. Booking ahead is wise for the terrace in good weather. Menus and reservations are on its official site, with reviews on SquareMeal.
