Very tiny restaurant. We have tried to book a table but unfortunately the only space left was at the bar. It did feel tight and not a lot of privacy. But saying that the food was excellent. Quite an interesting combination of flavours, we have tried delicious dishes. There is a good selection of wines as well.
The staff were attentive.
Recommended.
Just amazing. These types of little restaurants are my favorite : seasonal food, original flavor mixes, excellent wine (i recommend the sparkling chenin). I had a lovely experience and cannot wait to come back when I’m back in London.
Finding a quiet and intimate place to eat in Soho can be difficult, so I was intrigued to finally visit Ducksoup - especially after hearing so many glowing reviews from many foodies.
We sat at the bar which was a great spot to see all of the action and the wines. We were lucky to have a good menu on the day we visited as it rotates frequently. The standout dish was the rotolo pasta with sage butter sauce and girolles.
Overall, we were very glad to have a new and different dining experience to everywhere else we’ve visited in Central London. The service was very friendly and they helped us to pick out our wines as we had never tried natural wines before. My only recommendation would be to make the wines/terms used a bit more accessible - not everyone who visits will be a connoisseur…!
Another slight critique is the portioning/pricing - our bill after 2 ‘large plates’ and 2 ‘small plates’, plus 4 glasses of wine came to over £175 for 2 people. For the simplicity of the dishes and portioning, I’m not sure if I could consider it reasonable (a few chunks of fried aubergine were £13), considering we’ve been to ‘fancier’ restaurants nearby for less.
That being said, it’s still a lovely place and also v romantic!
