Classic Italian Charm Just Minutes from the Music

Set in the heart of London on New Oxford Street, Savoir Faire is a charming, family-run Italian restaurant that blends rustic Parisian bistro vibes with warm Mediterranean hospitality. Just a short walk from major music venues like the Dominion Theatre and Tottenham Court Road station, it’s a welcoming spot for a relaxed pre-show meal or a casual bite after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location—Savoir Faire is ideally placed for grabbing a meal before heading to a concert in central London. The service is fast and friendly, making it easy to dine without rushing.
