Starting life as a sandwich shop in the late 80s, Balans Old Compton Street is ready to take you from morning 'til night with its top-notch menu. Not only can you find all-day brunch bites here, but also small plates, gut-busting mains and killer cocktails to boot.
The Black Book lived a previous life as an exclusive members' club. And now? It's a sultry dining destination, complete with low lighting, secluded corners and one helluva menu of small plates. Think Iberico chorizo and onion bhajis.
You won't want to miss out on Old Compton Brasserie's menu, let alone its splendid interiors. While surrounded by vibrant Art Deco-style furnishings, sink your teeth into elevated British favourites, from seafood linguine to sumptuous Sunday roasts.
One of the more relaxed out of the brand's venues, Cecconi's Pizza Bar is a haven for lovers of Italian food. Having gained almost iconic status in Soho, this joint rustles up beautifully prepared 'za, pasta plates and cicchetti. You can't deny it's perfect for a pre-theatre dinner on Old Compton Street.
When it comes to restaurants near Prince Edward Theatre on Old Compton Street, this one's as naughty as it is nice. Hidden behind sex shop signage near Moor Street, La Bodega Negra slings out a mouthwatering Mexican menu, including tacos and tequila-based sips.
