About Noble Rot Soho

A cosier version of the original Bloomsbury Noble Rot, this second venue in Soho’s Greek Street is located in what was a famous Hungarian restaurant, The Gay Hussar – a haunt for left-wing politicians, journalists and intellectuals from when it opened in the fifties until it closed in 2018. The building has been brought to life again with its period features renovated and interiors done to encourage customers to enjoy the atmosphere of its past at the intersection of homely food, wine and gossip.

With no bar it really is a place to enjoy a meal with some good conversation – either over a well-priced set lunch menu or the à la carte menu, which has a good choice of snacks, sharing plates and well-portioned, seasonal dishes. Snack on choux buns with chicken liver parfait, Tokaji jelly and walnut, while eyeing the famed roast chicken with morels and Vin Jaune being shared all around the two floors and private dining room of the restaurant.

The iPad list carries this mindset through into its healthy Jura listing though, as with all Noble Rot venues, is a healthy selection of over 1,000 lines to ensure there is something for everyone – be it classic, low-intervention or bottles carrying the stature of age. This site has a particularly delicious fortified page and a Vin Doux Naturel vertical offered in 50ml tasting pours for a lot of fun.

More recommendations

  • If you've visited Noble Rot in Lambs Conduit and enjoyed it, you will feel no different about their Greek Street sister restaurant. Much smaller than the original NR, it is informal and intimate, a perfect place for a date, a business dinner or a night out with friends. The wine list has so many exciting wines you would probably never try if not by recommendation, take a leap of faith and go all in on Greece, Italy and all the other gems.

  • The sign of a good wine by the list is that you want to try everything. Great choices here and a fine wine Coravin list too, said jury member Ronan Sayburn MS about the winning wine list in Best By-the-Glass List 2023.

  • A generous and accessible range of Bordeaux, with superb value across the board and a real embrace of smaller new wave producers. Very much shows the region off to it's full potential, said jury member Ruth Spivey about Noble Rot Soho's wine list when they won New Generation Bordeaux List 2023.
