Dear Jackie

Hidden in the basement of Broadwick Soho, Dear Jackie greets you with bold, theatrical energy. The interiors are unapologetically maximal - think crimson silk-draped walls, plush booths upholstered in floral-chintz fabrics, candy-striped Murano glass lamps and hand-painted plates mounted across the walls. It feels like someone dialled up Italian glamour and added a dash of disco flair. The lighting is seductive, the corners cosy, and every seat feels like you’ve scored a spot in an exclusive underground club.

It’s not just about pretty interiors. Chef Harry Faddy (formerly at The River Café and Aquavit) leads the kitchen, with a simple-but-refined approach to Italian classics - ingredient-led, not overworked.

Dear Jackie was recently added to the Michelin Guide, praised for its Italian-inspired dishes that hold their own in a bold setting. It’s also seen as the focal point of Broadwick Soho’s larger narrative, as owner Noel Hayden designed the hotel and restaurants as a tribute to his family’s hospitality roots, naming this restaurant after his mother, Jackie.
