The Devonshire

Brought to you by the combined efforts Oisin Rogers, Charlie Carroll and Ashley Palmer-Watts (also the brains behind everywhere from Flat Iron to Guinea Grill), The Devonshire is already a famous destination despite only opening in late 2023. The gastro menu makes use of UK produce and in-house butchery to create the best versions of your British favourites in the heart of Soho.

The Ivy Cafe

One of the most famous places for all-day dining, The Ivy Cafe is an iconic British brasserie. Whether you're after breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea or dinner, you'll find a variety of menus and decadent interiors to match.

Sexy Fish

Ever the sexy spot, this restaurant and bar centres on East Asian food, late night bites and cracking cocktails. It's a numbers game here; not only are there over 400 bottles of Japanese of whisky, but there's even £1 million-worth of artwork by Frank Gehry and Damien Hirst.
