Noble Rot Soho: A Wine Lover's Haven in Historic Soho

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Soho at 2 Greek Street, Noble Rot Soho occupies a storied townhouse once home to the legendary Gay Hussar. This elegant European restaurant seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary culinary excellence, creating one of London's most compelling dining destinations.

A Historic Setting with Modern Flair

The building's gorgeous period features have been lovingly preserved and renovated, with dark wood paneling, bare floorboards, and walls adorned with Martin Rowson's acerbic political cartoons celebrating the restaurant's past and present patrons. The intimate, dimly lit dining rooms spread across multiple floors create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere perfect for lingering over exceptional food and wine.

Signature Dishes Worth Savoring

Executive Chef Adam Wood and Head Chef Áron Stigmon, with consultant chef Stephen Harris of The Sportsman, have created a menu that prioritizes dishes that complement the world's greatest wines. The undisputed star is their roast chicken with morels and vin jaune sauce - described by critics as "the most life-enhancing roast chicken to be found this side of France's Jura mountains." Other standouts include the choux bun with duck liver parfait and Tokaji jelly, slip sole with black truffle butter, and a sublime chocolate mousse with prunes and hazelnut biscuit.

An Award-Winning Wine Experience

Noble Rot's true claim to fame is its extraordinary wine list, which has earned 'Wine List of The Year' at the National Restaurant Awards in both 2021 and 2022. The carefully curated selection ranges from affordable discoveries to rare vintages, all presented by knowledgeable staff who excel at recommending perfect pairings for your meal. The restaurant's approach to wine is inclusive and inspiring, making it accessible to casual drinkers and oenophiles alike.

Perfect For Special Occasions

With its central Soho location, just minutes from Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square stations, Noble Rot Soho makes an ideal destination for special celebrations, romantic dinners, or simply indulging in an exceptional meal. The restaurant also offers a private dining room on the second floor that accommodates up to ten guests, perfect for intimate gatherings.

Whether you're drawn by the historic setting, the award-winning wine list, or the sublime roast chicken, Noble Rot Soho delivers a dining experience that honors both its illustrious past and London's vibrant culinary present.
