Restaurant in the heart of Soho
"100 Wardour Street" in London, England, is a versatile and vibrant restaurant located in the heart of the bustling Soho district. It is part of the renowned D&D London group and has a rich history, as it stands on the site of the legendary Marquee Club, where icons like David Bowie and the Rolling Stones once performed. Today, "100 Wardour Street" combines a mix of restaurant, lounge, and club, offering a modern, cosmopolitan atmosphere that is suitable for both a relaxed evening and lively parties. It is a popular meeting point for a diverse clientele—ranging from creative minds in the media industry to party enthusiasts and tourists looking to enjoy the Soho vibe.
Live music and DJ events
The restaurant spans two levels with different moods. The upper area, the Bar & Lounge, is a stylish, relaxed space with a modern design characterized by large windows, elegant furnishings, and warm lighting. The atmosphere here is casual, perfect for after-work drinks or a laid-back dinner. In contrast, the lower level, the Restaurant & Club, is livelier: the decor is a bit more extravagant, infused with a touch of Soho's rebellious spirit, and the stage for live music and DJs creates an energetic vibe that lasts into the early hours. Especially on weekends, this area transforms into a hotspot for party-goers, while the acoustics and layout also allow for quiet conversations when the music is not the focus.
Creative European and international cuisine
Culinarily, "100 Wardour Street" offers a creative blend of European and international influences, with a focus on high-quality ingredients and appealing presentation. A highlight is the "Chateaubriand for two," a tender, perfectly grilled piece of beef served with a rich sauce and sides like crispy fries—a delight that celebrates the art of sharing. Equally popular is the "Paella to share," which brings a Mediterranean flair with seafood and spicy rice, impressing with its generous portion. For a sweet ending, the "Chocolate Fondant" stands out, a warm chocolate cake with a molten center served with salted caramel ice cream, achieving the perfect balance between sweet and salty. The kitchen values versatility, ensuring that vegetarian and vegan options like fresh salads or innovative vegetable dishes are also available.
Cocktail bar with unique creations
The drinks menu is another highlight, reflecting the vibrant identity of the establishment. The cocktails, in particular, take center stage, with an eclectic selection ranging from classics to house creations—such as the "Cloud N°9," a fruity drink that delights with its lightness. The wine selection is extensive and carefully curated, while beer lovers can enjoy a variety of craft beers. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, refreshing mocktails or classic coffee, served throughout the day, are available. The bar serves as a central meeting point, creating a bustling yet friendly atmosphere that perfectly complements the dining experience.
Popular meeting point for partygoers
