Harden's says
Opened August 2022, a sibling to the Queen's Park original.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A great place to know about in Soho”, this three-year-old, all-day Aussie café (named after a beach in Sydney Harbour) is “a space in central London you can actually unwind, with delicious sharing plates and a decent drinks offering”. “Staff are incredibly charming”, and “when it’s packed you can sit in the heated outside area”. The price given covers a more ambitious lunch or evening meal incorporating robata dishes such as Whole market fish or Pork tomahawk. The original branch is in Queen’s Park.
Summary
“Aussies know how to do brekkie, that’s for sure”; and this two-year-old, all-day Antipodean in Soho (the follow-up to an earlier Queen’s Park venture) proves it once again. At other times of the day, the food is “not haute cuisine, but good and reasonably priced” (“I’m not a fan of sharing plates but these were well prepared”). “And full marks to maître d’ Dale, who works the room like a charm!”
Summary
“A fairly recent addition to Soho” – sibling to an older venture in Queen’s Park – this “interestingly-styled”, “Aussie-themed” yearling is a handy option for “meeting up with friends”. “Über-cool”, “very amiable” staff provide “a great selection of unusual menu offerings to tempt the slightly adventurous or those jaded with standard fare”. A disgruntled minority dismiss “average food in a cavernous space”, but the main impression is of something “genuinely different from most West End options”. Top Tip – dedicated menus for breakfast and pre-theatre.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
