Soleado

Spanish Flair in a Stunning Church Setting

Housed inside the beautifully restored Mercato Mayfair—formerly St. Mark’s Church—Soleado brings a taste of Spain to central London with a vibrant yet relaxed vibe. Just a short walk from some of the city's most iconic music venues, this stylish tapas spot blends traditional Spanish flavors with contemporary flair, all served in a jaw-dropping space lit by stained glass and vaulted ceilings.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its prime location in Mayfair makes Soleado a convenient pre-show stop for concert-goers. The informal tapas-style menu is ideal for sharing, and dishes are served quickly—perfect when you're racing the clock before doors open. The buzz of the market-style venue adds to the excitement, while the open layout keeps the energy high without being too loud to chat.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share plates and soak up the atmosphere.
• Solo travelers grabbing a quick, flavorful meal before a show.
• Couples on a romantic concert weekend who appreciate great wine and ambiance.
• Fans wanting to get hyped in a vibrant pre-show setting.

What People Say

Guests love the authentic Spanish flavors, especially the croquetas, grilled octopus, and Iberico pork. The setting inside the converted church is frequently described as 'breathtaking' and 'unexpectedly cool'. Service is noted as friendly and efficient, and many highlight the great selection of Spanish wines and cocktails. The combination of setting, food, and vibe makes it a standout in the area.

Areas for Improvement

While most diners rave about the experience, some mention that the market-style seating can get a bit busy during peak hours, and the open space means it’s not the quietest spot. If you're looking for an intimate or hushed dinner, this might not be your ideal pick.

The Bottom Line

Soleado is a lively and unique Spanish dining experience that hits all the right notes for concert-goers looking to fuel up in style before the show.
