Fancy rubbing shoulders with so did The Who's who in London? Try Hix in Soho... food by a revered chef does not disappoint and that bar downstairs is smoky, trendy and transports you.

Caught up with UK family for lunch at the Hix Soho last month. The restaurant was bright, warm and welcoming on a chilly English summer day. The menu looked delicious from top to bottom with something for everyone.
I started with the Pork Crackling - impossible to go past, then ordered the lamb for mains, with some interesting and delicious sides including black and pink boiled potatoes. We shared mini puddings with custard for desert and left absolutely stuffed to the brim.
Service was brilliant, food equally good. Ambiance was lovely with a jazz duo playing in the corner. Price was a little up there, but for a special lunch, quite acceptable.

Hix is primarily a British cuisine restaurant, however, it's basement is hiding a brilliant cocktail bar, with a great drinks selection and couches and a lovely atmosphere.

On a Saturday night it is normally packed so, even if you may be be able to get a seat if you're lucky, I recommend booking in advance just to be sure. You will need to order a snack or dessert from the menu as they only have a restaurant licence and then you can spend the rest of time drinking cocktails.

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and there's always someone around to help you out and take more orders.

The drinks are a bit pricey (£10-15 per cocktail, £7 for beer) so you may want to have that in mind. I always say start from the nice cocktail bar and then move to a pub to drink properly but if you are just going for one drink and an early night it's perfect.

In terms of taste, I think there are some better bars with more luxurious feeling drinks but also much worse so this would be the middle ground in my opinion. Not the best but good enough for a fancy bar.

In general that is a great place in Soho for when you are with sb who doesn't like pubs and would only drink in cocktail bars because you can both show off your local knowledge and get some nice cocktails in.

The food took too long to arrive, but when the starters appeared, it was love at first bite. The oyster and bacon stew was rich, yet surprisingly light. It was perfectly salted (which happens far too rarely!) and although there were only two oysters, they made all the difference.

Food is OK but wasn't anything to write home about. I had the Gamekeeper's Pie. Decent but my local serves similar at half the cost. Give the Black Cow Martinis a miss. The Rioja was overpriced at £40 a bottle. The bar area downstairs was cosy though. Came to £85/head.

Lunch today at the Bar. Service was good. We just ate steak and chips. This was as outrageously good as it was outrageously expensive £37.50 and chips are EXTRA. But I have eaten steak in Argentina and Uraguary and this is amoungst the very best ever. If you don't care about cost eat here for great meat. If you're on a budget of any kind don't even think about it.

Tasty Pre Theatre Deal. Another rainy Friday night in London found me hooking up with my old pal Bernard at the Two Chairmen in Westminster for a couple of pints of the excellent Deuchars while we waited for B and the lovely Mrs Mitton to join us. As ever the pub was filled with a motley crew of "suits", in fine Friday night form, from the various government offices in the neighbourhood and by the time we left at around 6pm the pub was heaving.

The venue for dinner had been the subject of much email traffic during the week and the suggestions had ranged far and wide both in terms of location and cuisine. As we only too rarely have the chance to get together we were after something a bit sophisticated but still conducive to a good natter and at a reasonable price. So it was that we alighted on the Soho branch of the Hix empire.

Situated behind a heavy wooden door on a busy Brewer Street you have the choice of making your way downstairs to the basement bar or entering the light and airy restaurant on your left. The bar was buzzing and packed to the rafters so, as we had just made it in time to catch the end of the pre-theatre deal, three courses for £19.50, we quickly settled ourselves down at our nicely presented and reasonably spacious round table.

It's a well laid out, stylish room with plenty of space between you and your fellow diners. A long bar runs almost the length of one side of the room with some striking artistic installations hanging from the ceiling above which all add to a rather restrained but appealing sense of theatre. I particularly liked the stuffed seagull suspended within neon circles and the mobile made up of a variety of fish set within glass bricks.

It's a popular place, I would definitely recommend booking well in advance, and by 7.30pm the room had reached full capacity. However, unlike many other dining rooms I have experienced recently, I was struck by the excellent acoustics and how easy it was to carry on a conversation despite a very cheerful and chatty crowd.

We kicked off with a fine bottle of Bellarosa Prosecco, and some tap water, while we had a quick glance at the menu. The pre-theatre selection is not going to detain you long as it's a choice from two for each course but in a way that's no bad thing.

The boys had the lamb's kidneys served on a bed on bramley apple purée. Cooked rare these little beauties were soft to the touch and had a distinct but subtle flavour which was well complemented by the slightly sharp fruit. The ladies had the selection of beets with goats curd and walnuts which got murmurings of approval and seemed to go down very well.

We moved on to a reasonably priced bottle of Bodegas Airen which was an ideal companion to the smoked haddock which sat on a bed of buttery colcannon surrounded by a sea of creamy sauce, and topped with a perfectly poached egg. Beautifully cooked and full of flavour this was a tasty piece of fish and was presented simply but effectively. Bernard had the rib eye steak which he proclaimed to be cooked "just right" and suitably beefy. I liked the nice touch of serving it with an accompaniment of three tiny selections of mustard on a small tray. A man who likes his frites Bernard had ordered some chips in addition to his crispy potato "strings" which were gratefully shared amongst the table and again hit the spot.

The dark chocolate mousse for dessert was a very decent size portion and was particularly toothsome without falling into the typical mousse trap of being too sweet or rich. Mrs Mitton's "pixie" apple pie was anything but small and was declared to be a proper job and full of fruit, gaining the accolade of "best shortcrust pastry I've ever tasted".

As ever it was the digestifs that began to bump up the bill despite our restraint in sticking to the pre- theatre menu. However, it's the little details that count and I thoroughly enjoyed my glass of Poire Williams and Bernard declared himself well satisfied with his Martel.

All things considered we thought this was a very good dining experience, in lovely surroundings, with great company and at a reasonable price. However, looking at the standard menu I'm not so sure I would have felt the same if I had gone "off piste" as the prices did seem a little steep for what was on offer (the fish fingers, chips and mushy peas will set you back £16 and that's the cheapest offering).

We had another quick look at the quirky, clubby bar, which had thinned out considerably by 9pm. With its bar billiard table and tasty selection of bar snacks it looked very appealing and we decided to add it to our "must try out" list. It was then time to head back into the Soho night and send the Mittons on their merry way back to Cambridge.

Job well done Mr Hix!!

Having wanted to go for quite some time we eventually managed to go to Hix Soho for my birthday on a Wednesday evening. When I say we had wanted to go for some time we were informed by the maitre d' that we had in fact booked in February (some 3 months in advance) and asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. This did have its plus side as after explaining we were out for a birthday treat we were offered a move to the corner table allowing both of us the perfect view across the whole restaurant (and conveniently, the chance to create a bit of distance from our neighbours somewhat pretentious and overtly loud conversation which had become somewhat irritating during our brief stint at the original table).
One of the main selling points of Hix to me was the inclusion of Crackling with apple sauce as an appetizer… So along with a bottle of excellent Montepulciano (we had polished off a bottle of champagne before arriving) … (it was my birthday) and some water we mulled over the menu whilst getting stuck into the crackling. I must say it wasn't mind blowing but probably the best crackling that I have eaten out. Homemade crackling fresh from the oven will most likely never be surpassed but this was warm, crispy and with a nice amount of salt, plus it had been broken up into manageable chunks and avoided the embarrassing struggle of trying to get a "reasonable" sized portion without creating an almighty mess. The apple sauce was a bit plain though and could have been a bit sweeter, but still, it was a nice addition and a good entry to the evening!
Quite a range of starters on offer but after much deliberation I opted for oysters… I decided to mix it up and chose to have 3 Maldon rocks and 3 Cumbrian Rocks. The difference in size and taste was incredible. I am quite an oyster novice and having the selection really highlighted the variety available and the contrasting flavours. The Maldon rocks were a lot meatier and packed quite a punch where as the Cumbrian rocks were silky and light and became the first oyster enjoyed by C my partner. C herself decided on the Asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Fresh flawlessly tender asparagus that was steamed to perfection and served with a decadently thick and creamy hollandaise and the start to the meal could not have gotten much better. I have got so carried away that I have forgotten the bread, well technically the butter that was served with the bread. This was delicious, the right amount of salt, so creamy that you could have wanted to eat it on its own and served at a nice nearly melted temperature! I really dislike it when the butter seems as if it has just come out of the fridge! Is this just me? It feels somewhat lazy on the part of the restaurant?
On to the mains and after we toyed with the idea of sharing the porterhouse … when I say "we" I probably mean that I thought this would be a good idea and toyed with it in my head. I always seem torn towards steak whenever I read it on the menu, must be something to do with red meat and my hunter gatherer instincts (?) or not as the case may be! Anyway after toying with the idea of a masculine steak, no, the most masculine cut of steak available, I decided on……… sea bream. A whole bream cooked with a touch of rosemary. Beautifully presented and cooked excellently, the fish was a lot lighter than I remembered from the previous time I had eaten it but was really flavoursome and the delicate rosemary really cut through. C had decided on the John Dory and this was again delicious. A huge beast of a Dory was served and the meaty fish had bundles of flavour and was eventually all demolished which is the best sign of a truly enjoyed plate of food!
We ordered some spinach on the side and as it was my birthday decided on the creamed rather than the steamed! It was very nice but I think somewhat too heavy for the dishes it was accompanying (plus I had already eaten most of the butter brought to our table with the bread). We also had some chips, well fries really which were good. Crispy on the outside with some fluffy potato waiting inside and lightly salted; what more can you ask for. We were tempted by the in season jersey royals but watching the smiles of a table opposite as they tucked into the chips closed the deal for me!
After all that food I could find no room for any desert. Nothing had really jumped out at me so I settled on an Irish coffee. Before the coffee was served I was given a treat of a happy birthday decorated plate and a selection of truffles, compliments of the maitre d'. This really was the icing on the cake on what had been a wonderful dinner. All the staff seemed genuinely very friendly; they were attentive and made the effort to engage us in conversation, which really added to our experience of the restaurant. I had been somewhat apprehensive about the pretentious stigma that has been bandied around with this restaurant but this can only be applied to some of the clientele, which has to be expected in this location. All in all I would recommend Hix to anyone and everyone and will definitely hope to go again.

Light airy interior, simple yet complimented by fabulous D Hirst mobiles and perfectly balanced service. Don't go in fear of stodge as they have mastered the return to Brit Trad Fayre with the lightest of touches...

Might become a haunt.... Finally got to try out Hix's newish Brewer Street branch. Nice room, bustling, maybe a bit too much? And the design and various installations weren't as spectacular as the reviews would have you believe...Great service though, immaculate martini with Hendricks gin while I waited, a warm loaf brought to the table with (for once) butter at a decent temperature for spreading too, and filtered tap in a little jug.

Starters were a great looking fish soup with cider brandy, and for me the 'Heaven and Earth', which was a soft moist ball of black pudding, quite Spanish in texture, with potato and apple mash with, I think, some mace and cinammon in it. Really good.

Beautifully cooked lamb shoulder on parsnip mash and, for me, fried flounder with whelks and 'Alexanders', which are a green vegetable, tasted quite celery like. Fish was a bit bland though, which was a shame.

With a bottle of a light red from the Loire, and service, it was £120 between the two. Not cheap, but I'll still be back to try the red deer, milts on toast, sloe gin jelly, and some more of the cocktail list.

Service continued to be very impressive during the night. Once we were finished our mains, the waitress said she'd move us if we liked to a better table, as she warned us there was a table of ten about to sit down in our vicinity and we wouldn't be able to hear each other...she even dashed out after us into the street when we were leaving (well after the end of our allotted two hour slot) to check the move had been OK.

OH MY F*$KING GOD - THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL - PERFECT!. I don't care how cheesy this sounds because I have never written a restaurant review before but our experience at Hix last Thursday was so 'beautiful and dream like' that all the DNA in my body has been re-aligned... driving me to write this review like a dog that can't help but give endless unquestioning love to his owner...

So, I flew in from Miami and was thus suffering from pompous over-priced restaurants where latino celebs nibble on mediocre 'Fusion' fare and swill champagne they know nothing about... bizarrely served very cold!

Without making a reservation we rocked up to Hix on Brewer St. The place was packed - completely full with no free tables upstairs or downstairs for the whole night. but the head waitress made a new special place for us in the upstairs bar and promised to see what she could do.

We began with some extraordinary cocktails from the most interesting cocktail menu I have every seen in my life. EVERYTHING was original, interesting, artistic, tasty, and delightfully boozy. Oh my that was just what the doctor ordered!

Before we finished our first cocktails, the head waitress (all smiles, sweetness, kindness... like those rare school nurses who love their job and dream about how to be more kind and helpful) came back to us, collected our cocktails, and ushered us downstairs where she had found two chairs at the downstairs bar which she said where now ours 'for the rest of the night'.

The downstair bar is gorgeous, artistic, not too bright, not too dark, very comfy sofas, clean and tidy but not overly organised or official... Bit like the perfect basement in your country manor house; welcoming, comfortable, relaxed, but posh.

So, more cocktails. "Legs over Soho", "Blitz over Kent"... all unusual, some spicey, all amazingly drinkable and served in interesting, different, traditional-looking glasses. We then ate lettuce heart salads, fishcakes with perfect horseradish mayo - not too greasy, and the most delicious desserts (puddings according to the Limeys). A bakewell tart that reconfirmed by willingness to believe in God (providing Mark Hix is one of his children) and a Yorkshire thing with rhubarb and meringue on top... Errrrr Hello? I'm in England and I'm eating deserts better than those served in expensive Parisienne restaurants. You will not believe this place.

Then more cocktails with chocolate in them, like its Christmas and your 6 years old and all your family has given you chocolate treats... but these have loads of life-satisfying alchohol in them... :-)

By the way, if this restaurant had served us 1960's style british rail sandwiches I would not have cared... ALL of the people working there were amazingly friendly, considerate, skilled, and professional. When considering what to order for desert, we began talking about Apples. I said 'this place is so local, unique, with a clear honest commitment to traditional and genuine ingredients' having seen something about an apple variety I'd never heard of. And someone said 'yeah did you know that there are 400 varieties of apples in the UK, but only 2-4 available in supermarkets' (I know, I know, the laws of large systems).
The bartender overheard this conversation, and quietly went away, and humbly returned with Mark Hix's book on local english foodstuffs etc etc. He pointed us to a page about some place in South East England that specialises in maintaining Apple varieties... 2000 varieties!!! So, the bartender was intelligent, sensitive, interesting... Stuff that up your jumper Browns, Ritz, Savoy, Zuma, Claridges... :-)

When we left the head waitress came down stairs and gave us goodbye hugs. She gave us goodbye hugs! Um, this is England. Strangers don't do this in "stiff upper lip-land". This was like I had just spent a weekend with long lost Italian cousins in their private Tuscan villa. You know: family, love, respect... And our cocktail waitress kissed us all on the cheek and said thanks.

Look, this was the finest evening I have had in a very long time: due to the venue, food, service... And it cost 1/2 of what I expected.

No Hiccups. We had the summer holiday reunion dinner here in cold December. A table for 8 was right in the action in the main room which is well styled
The team were good and the wines and the food worked out well. The roast chicken for 6 (6!) was good although diners felt it was not stunning.
Overall everyone was pleased. Although our table time ran out at 10pm HIX gave us the private dining room for deserts and boozing

excellent.

Confess to eating far too much for lunch thereby not being able to do this restaurant justice. I had to forego the crackling and apple sauce with my aperitif. Lively atmosphere, not too formal yet surroundings quite swish. Good spot for a first date! Downstairs bar looked comfortable enough for quality lounging. Maldon and Pacific oysters to start were plump and fresh. Main was a succulent flat-iron steak with roast bone marrow. The marrow had been cored out and mixed with breadcrumbs to make an oily crumb mix that had an unpleasant feel in the mouth. Would have been served better au natural with some toast on the side. The chicken salad my friend had wasn't quite enough to make a main though the addition of rather substantial stuffing balls helped justify it's position on the menu. No doubting the quality of ingredients and I'd like to see that be allowed to shine through more. No problems with service. Attentive, informed and friendly. 8/10

There are few things better than going to a really good bar where you know the bartender. That cozy feeling of communion as the drinks crafted ESPECIALLY FOR YOU are placed before you is an experience on a par, I'd say, with going on a really sexy first date. (The two, of course, are not mutually exclusive.) One thing that gives this most singular of pleasures a run for its money is going to a good bar where you don't know the bartender but ARE TREATED AS IF YOU DO. Mark's Bar at Hix delivers that experience, in spades. My first excursion to Hix was magical. (Actually, I'm indulging in a little bit of writerly license here. My first excursion to Hix was an internet date. The less said about that, the better.) ANYWAY. The first excursion THAT COUNTS was on a rare late weeknight when the bar was only half-full. For those of you who haven't been here, Mark's is a lovely secret place, tucked away behind and below the large, loft-like restaurant on Brewer Street, with tin ceilings and a lon

During the sunny weekend that we had in London last week, there was a buzz of activity happening in Soho, specifically at the Soho Parish School . The outdoor area was opened for the Soho Food Feast which was organized by Margot Henderson of Rochelle Canteen. The feast was organized to raise funds for the school which promotes healthy eating to its pupils. It has gotten quite a supportive backing from its neighbourhood restaurants which see the likes of Polpo, Koya, Wright Brothers and Hix amongst others coming out to support this worthy cause. Good food, awesome weather and most of all, doing my bit for charity was a great way to spend the Saturday afternoon.

The menu at Hix Soho has changed completely from my last visit there. The food was simple, comforting and delicious. ... None of the dishes I mention will even be on the menu now...I had a superb bacon chop with fried Buford Brown eggs, eggs benedict and a treacle tart with clotted cream.
All the food was good and the simplicity of the presentation impressed me as well. I dont know what the present menu is like, but based on my experience there some time ago, I can tell you that the quality of the cooking is top notch...It was British comfort food at its best..

Love this place, as soon as we arrived for our anniversary we were sat by the window and given complimentary cocktails. The staff are second to none in Hix, its fine dining for the sohocialites, theres a good atmosphere and cracking bar downstairs.

Where this is good food there are long queues and this is no different. I had the oysters and the hanger steak (literally dangling from a spike at the table), both perfect.

This is a high end establishment and does not disappoint, attempting to do away with the snobbery of the old and introducing the excitement of the new.

A lovely and calm eatery. The staff are patient and ever knowing. I was very impressed by the delicacy and high standard of the food. I had the De Beauvoir Smoked Hix salmon which was simply outstanding. Not to smokey and still delicate and moist. This was topped of by one of my favourite cuts of beef, the Hanger Steak with baked bone marrow! How can anyone ask for anything better?

Great atmosphere and service. The starters are excellent, specially the oysters and the scallops. You can get picanha for main, such is a delicious cut for steak. Desserts are not their thing I’m afraid, had the apple dumplings and the pavlova, and they were not very good. The bar downstairs is pretty cool and trendy, quite selective, totally worth trying their cocktails.

Juan Cafe

Always great experience. Friendly bartenders and surprisingly down to earth prices. But you don’t go there for the smiles and prices, you go there for an education in mixology. The bartenders are creative and more than eager to explain to you the intricacies of the cocktails or whatever new whisky or gin they have on offer. Go there for there to truly enjoy a special cocktail and hear someone who is passionate about making it. Stay for the music and New York speakeasy atmosphere.

Nice steak here for delicious taste. Definitely try the medium rare. Good atmosphere too. If u want to have desserts or alcohol, won’t let u down. Basement is another space for chilling with friends.

Peter Barradine

This is second Hix restaurant I have been to and I can say that they were both excellent! I went for pre theatre menu at a very reasonable price of £23. This included beautifully tender pieces of squid for the starter and perfectly cooked monkfish for the main course. What was the star of the show for me was the pudding, gooseberry pie with elderflower ice cream. Although the ice cream was one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth I still find nostalgic elements to the dishes served. The pastry on the pie was exactly like my grandmothers, I had discovered this before at the Tramshed where I had some minced pies that tasted like she had cooked them that day. The stuffing in the whole roast chicken reminds me of picking herbs in the garden for her as a child.

Really enjoyed the fish and chips, and also the black pudding starter. Service was a bit slow, but good food and a nice atmosphere.

Excellent meal that can start with a variety of fresh sea food and follow buy an excellent porterhouse and end by a delicious ice cream. All plates that I tried were perfectly cooked and presented. Wide selection of wines and alcoholic drinks as well as their own oyster beer (not bad). Friendly and professional service. So if you are searching for an excellent meal in London Hix Soho would be one of the best. Reservations are required 😉

We had a lunch for 20 people in Mark's Bar downstairs, last Saturday. The room was warm and welcoming, with loads of room for our unruly children to run around and play. We had the 'Autumn Feast' set menu because of the size of our party. All three courses were delicious, and there was a huge amount of food. Service was attentive, friendly and very patient..... Bloody Mary's were excellent!! Need an excuse to go back ASAP.

Haven't been here for food yet but is meant to be brilliant. The bar is so atmospheric and has a very pleasing layout. Cocktails are superb and the bar snacks are a fine accompaniment. One Saturday we were waiting 30 minutes to enter the cocktail bar and the waitress gave us glasses of prosecco to ease the wait - totally worked!

Bryony Corf

We needed to book a table for 5 (including 1 child) in the west end following a Saturday matinee performance – a trickier task than it would seem! Hix was the absolute perfect solution – it takes reservations, it has a children’s menu, it offers an incredibly good value set menu for adults. We arrived a little early for our reservation and had a drink in the bar below which was very nice. The restaurant itself is lovely with high ceilings and interesting pieces of art filling the space. The staff were very attentive and could answer all of the questions that we had regarding the food (one member of our party suffers from food allergies). The food was absolutely delicious and I would not have thought that the dishes would be those included on a set menu if I had not known – very impressed Hix!
