Cafe Boheme Restaurant Relaunches

Refurb. Refit. Redesign.

Dull words at the best of times, especially when used to describe the facelift given to your local gastropub.

But with the relaunch of Soho’s Cafe Boheme, things get interesting. The French bistro, which opens tomorrow, is as good as nouveau.

Situated next to Soho House, the spot is now owned by Nick Jones, who’s appointed Ed Wilson head chef (previously at The Wolseley and Almeida). Obvious dishes are done well, like eggs Benedict, salad niçoise and croque monsieur.

It’s a great hangout for those who yearn to inhabit Jonesland but don’t care to pay a membership fee. And best of all, it closes at 3 a.m.

Want a swift pretheatre supper? A post-clubbing feast?

This joint is a great fit.

Cafe Boheme, 13-17 Old Compton Street, W1D 5GQ (020 7734 0623 or cafeboheme.co.uk).
