CHEAP EATS & RESTAURANTS
Viet Hoa Mess
While this might sound like naughty Sunday morning in a Saigon brothel, this Shoreditch BBQ temple is far and away a much classier affair.
Rochelle Canteen
Grab a school-style breakfast or lunch from one of London’s most underground catering companies.
Super Pizza – Danger of Death
Great slices now served up just across from the legendary Brick Lane Beigel Bake at this cosy joint with its own secret members bar.
Byron at The Intrepid Fox
Less sceney than the nearby Lo-Profile or Balans - and less entertaining, perhaps - but preferable if you pay more attention to the buns of your burger than those of your waiter.
Princi Soho
Alan Yau may be London’s hottest restaurateur, with hotspots like the Michelin-starred Hakkasan and Yauatcha under his belt, but things are kept both affordable and accessible here at Princi.
Gelupo
The perfect stop for a lunchtime or mid-afternoon ice-cream fix. Bocca di Lupo’s dessert deli serves up scoops and smiles.
Pizza East
Soho House’s brand spanking new pizzeria gets non-members in on a slice of the action, within a stone’s throw of the group’s East End outpost, Shoreditch House.
The Blues Kitchen
A brand new venue to enjoy the best soul food this side of the Atlantic, The Blues Kitchen comes with a smashing side of live music and a bourbon-stocked bar.
Busaba Eathai
We love you looooong time. Queues right along the front façade aren’t unusual, such is its enduring popularity amongst Soho-ites in the mood for a little spice.
Fernandez & Wells
Medialand’s midday treat. This market style lunchtime favourite get fairly crammed as media types queue for some of the best sandwiches in town.
Cha Cha Moon
Oodles of noodles, stall style. Part of Alan Yau’s chopstick conglomerate, this taking inspiration from Hong Kong’s mein-dong noodle stalls.
Cay Tre
A taste of Vietnam with queues often backing into the street for the fresh ingredients, unbelievable prices, and authentic flavours.
Ottolenghi
Mediterranean with massive… meringues. Putting other delis to shame with its starkly white setting and mouth watering array of dishes and takeouts.
Barrafina
Sourcing - not saucing. The go-to locale for the finest quality tapas made with fresh ingredients and the minimum of fuss.
Saf
Having lured in the gastro-purists with its innovative menu of living foods, it’s revamped eating organic into more than a virtuous pastime.
Brick Lane Beigel Bake
Bagging beigels 24 hours a day. East London’s 24 hour cure-all does exactly what it says on the tin - bagels.
