Ducksoup - City of London,Westminster

The restaurant is a non fancy, wooden table affair which is absolutely fine. We had a very cosy table at the back of the restaurant. Wonderful. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. So why only 3 stars? We were shown a board displaying all of the wines and a very knowledgable member of staff asked what we might like and explained very expertly what options might suit, guiding us to his first suggestion at a cost of £90...yes £90!!!!. Bearing in mind this is not a fine dining restaurant I was astounded. But dont worry, the cheapest bottle of red was a mere £45. Again , what the hell is going on here?? Coupled with this, my husband had a large bottle of beer (shared) at a snip at £36. WHAT? A glass of dessert wine a mere £16!! I appreciate costs have risen dramatically lately but this was beyond belief . The food was small and large plates such as braised beetroot or mozzerella with lentils around £14. Large plates eg Red wine risotto £20 or chicken with mushrooms £27. All the dishes were nice and not too expensive in comparison with other restaurants. So yes, for me the absolutely extortionate alcohol pricing means I would definitely not return. Such a shame. If you dont drink alcohol I would say give it a go.

Lovely unique spot in soho for food and wine. Really chilled atmosphere, friendly staff and good quality food. Menu changes frequently and every dish we had was great- we shared 5 small dishes between 2 and was perfect amount. Wine list is extensive! On the pricier side but lovely for a special occasion and worth it for the relaxed vibe

Great intimate setting in the heart of soho cool cuisine get the pickles, bread deep fried pumpkin) great wine try the sparkling red). Would ducksoup again. Also sitting at the bar for dinner was really awesome!!

Slightly disappointed by the food very pricey and nothing that blows you away. We ordered the chargrilled plaice as a ‘large’ plate but it was very small; not much meat mostly bone. Ambience and service were very good though.

Super nice ambience, lovely waitress, fresh and yummy meal! Lots of nice natural wines. Went here with my family and sat in the bigger table in the back!
