Dean Street Townhouse (Soho)

• The place is great not only in the evenings for dinner or drinks but also during the day with an indulgent brunch or a relaxed afternoon tea
• Offers those with big pockets to spend big on exquisite food and drinks
• The service and staff are a little snobbish but there is far worse
• Eggs benedict were done to perfection
• I have heard the cocktails are very nice too however have never tried them
• Only let down by being a bit spend and a wonky Scotch bonnet green bloody Mary that was more Mexican salsa than bloody Mary
• The cocktails are fantastic and fairly reasonably priced
• Service was good but the real highlight is if you can get a table out front they're slightly set back from the hustle and bustle of Soho and well heated
• As there were not so many main course liked I had to take a rib eye instead that was good but not my favorite
• Booked DST for an afternoon tea with my brother and husband dainty patisserie was not going to cut it
• Freshly baked with clotted cream and two preserves
• All the cakes were lovely the banana and raspberry cupcake was delish (coming from someone who believes cupcakes have no place in an afternoon tea)
• Sandwich fillings could have been bit more generous but the bread was fresh and the presentation was good
• Expensive and the food is very average
• The full English is reliable but nothing special
• Great spot for brunch but the people watching is more what you are paying for than the food
• Me and my girlfriend we are greeted and informed that half of the menu is not available
• Bound by the menu we choose a plate of cheese and baked chicken with potatoes served with bread sauce
• Although some of the cakes and pastries were excellent (particularly the dainty Battenberg chequerboard and pistachio macaroon)
• My favourite was the humble scone
• These were a near perfect version warm with a tender crumb and generous scoops of clotted cream and pots of jams
• The sandwiches on the other tiers were the usual soft little crust less rectangles
• Their afternoon tea is good value at £
• The intention was a regular monthly feature on my blog where I visit a reasonably priced Soho eatery for lunch at the weekend
• The restaurant / hotel is part of the Soho House group
• Dean Street Townhouse is a home away from home
• Dean Street isn't super spendy and the Sunday Roast is great value for money at three courses for £
• A French 75 with Bombay Sapphire
• The waiter presented with a warm crusty loaf and a side of creamy butter
• I mentioned in my wedding blog that smoked salmon is my comfort food so my choice of starter was clear
• The flavour of the salmon was fab but you can see from the picture that it was a little dry though that didn't affect my enjoyment
• Runny yolk and was accompanied by girolle mushrooms and peas
• The star of the show was clearly Melanie's twice baked haddock souffle topped with a decadent
• My main course was another favourite of mine
• A butterflied seabass served with fennel and clams
• The skin was perfectly crisp and the flesh flaked perfectly with just the right amount of oil
• Prawn and fennel salad that was deliciously light but filling due to the perfect combination of protein and delicate dressing
• Summery dish was just what she needed to remind her of her hometown of Daytona in Florida while the clouds gathered outside reminding us that British summertime was well and truly at an end
• We were definitely suitably satisfied with our light yet comforting options and a round a coffees and chocolate truffles was the perfect way to finish things off
• We bid farewell with plans to see each other soon
• So this lunch was extra special
• It also lasted nearly three hours because there was loads for us to share
• They started with champagne cocktails
• My lunch drink was simply a giant pot of English breakfast tea
• All three of the Starters we picked were scrumptious
• Angie stayed healthy with the Home cured Salmon
• I experienced a bit of turmoil because I was very tempted by the afternoon tea
• The only hesitation I would have about ordering it again was every so often I had a big bite of rock salt
• M not sure why that is a food trend right now
• Maybe if you just have a few minutes and are in the Soho area of London
• Now Dean Street Townhouse is a funny one
• Always busy and the staff are all good at what they do
• We went for a work lunch with a client and dove straight into the warm homemade bread and salted butter
• Before I went for the roasted cod with monk's beard and chanterelles
• I just can't help but wish there was more life to the menu as Dean Street Townhouse (Soho) is right up my street
• It's considered one of the best tea places in London and I have to say that indeed
• The fresh scones and delicious clotted cream with a nice tea in the beautiful ceramic and a great ambiance around makes everything very comfortable and relaxing
• Distressed mirrors) with the feel of a bustling Parisian brasserie
• For two it is a rather large piece of meat
• Washing it down with a robust red is mandatory
• The service is good and the overall dining experience is atmospheric and you leave knowing you've had a proper meal
• Afternoon tea in London is showing no signs of disappearing
• New twists are added all the time
• The option of mixing and matching with their High Tea menu which sounded ideal to us too
• Seems a spot inside the Georgian townhouse is more appealing than a spot outside in the sunshine
• Or old school private members club mixed with the vibe of Joe Allen&rsquo
• Table setting is fairly formal
• We perched at the bar sipping cocktails whilst waiting for our table (we were 15 minutes early &ndash
• You gotta roll with it (this is the second time today I&rsquo
• Egg mayonnaise and ham and mustard) scones with jam and clotted cream
• I was already worried about how we were going to get through it all
• We saw on Instagram that they were testing a new dish and giving it away for free
• The only disappointment was the macaron which was hard and hollow
• The waiter swapped it for a couple of fresh ones which were marginally better but still not quite right
• The choice of tea is more than enough
• Our waitress was so efficient and kept a smile on her face
• We were here to test the afternoon tea but I must admit that we had a chronic case of food envy every time a roast dinner with all the trimmings went by
• Even his expandable belly was full to bursting
• Deanstreet townhouse is one of a kind in its Soho location
• The 39 Bedroom townhouse at numbers 69 and 70 Dean Street has restaurant on the ground floor that is renown across London
• The scrambled eggs and salmon with toast was yummy the bakers basket is to die
• I went for Sunday lunch after reading a review saying this was in the top 20 in London
• I could have eaten two even though it was fairly rich
• Followed this with a beef roast which was indeed nice
• It was super busy and the aer vice was slow and one waiter was particularly sarcastic (which we were given free drinks
• The eggs were absolutely amazing but the portion was really small
• 20 each which I think it was definitely not a good value for the money
• Definitely fine dinning but I found the food though good was a little under whelming
• The service was could have been better but they were packed
• As the place is open late and were taking orders past 11 pm
• We were after something that was delicious and gave us a true feel for what the city had to offer
• A few different people had recommended Dean Street Townhouse and was perfect as it was so close to our hotel
• Dean St Townhouse is the only rep in the area now Old Compton St's Soho Hse and Cafe Boheme is now closed for refurbishment
• We sat at the bar with biggest clunkiest chairs which I must say is a design flaw in such a small space
• Muffins and croissants are a must try
• Dean Street Town House is pure class
