Gauthier Soho

Elegant French Fare in the Heart of Soho

Nestled in a charming Georgian townhouse on Romilly Street, Gauthier Soho offers an intimate yet sophisticated dining experience right in the vibrant heart of London. This stylish French restaurant is just minutes from Soho’s bustling live music venues, theatre district, and nightlife. Known for its innovative plant-based tasting menus and exceptional service, Gauthier combines fine dining with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that feels special without being stuffy.

Helmed by celebrated chef Alexis Gauthier, the restaurant has earned accolades for its commitment to sustainability and vegan gastronomy—so much so that its entire menu is now 100% plant-based. The setting is refined and cozy, with candlelit tables spread across multiple intimate dining rooms that feel more like a private home than a public restaurant.

Why Concert-goers love it

Gauthier Soho is a short walk from major concert spots across the West End, making it a convenient and classy stop before a night of live music. Its pre-show tasting menu ensures you can enjoy a full culinary experience without worrying about curtain time. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed—perfect for conversation before heading into the buzz of a gig. The attentive service also means you won’t be left waiting while the opening act starts.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to elevate their concert night with a special meal
• Solo travelers seeking a peaceful, high-quality dinner before the show
• Couples planning a romantic night out with music and fine dining
• Fans who want a serene, stylish space to build the excitement

What People Say

Reviews praise the creative plant-based dishes that wow even non-vegans, with many diners calling it their “best meal in London.” Guests consistently highlight the attentive and knowledgeable staff, the elegant yet cozy setting, and the beautifully presented tasting menus. Many appreciate the restaurant’s ability to cater to time-sensitive reservations for pre-theatre and pre-concert dining.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the tasting menu format may not be ideal for those looking for a quick bite. The price point is also on the higher side, so it's less of a casual drop-in and more of an experience meal—though most agree it's worth the splurge for a special night out.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert in Soho and want to make the evening extra memorable, Gauthier Soho offers a uniquely elegant, plant-based dining experience just steps away from the music.
